Well, the Mod-Gods came through and closed a couple of good threads. The OT crew resurrected some really old threads in tribute of PITW, and Sharky's has closed their local store. Those were the threads getting much of the attention. There are plenty of others to sift through in your spare time.

I take offense to that. If you so dislike the people that provide this FREE resource for you to use, why don't you just go elsewhere? BTW... Strike one.

If your talking about your time being free that is your choice. No one here made you be a mod on RC for free. I am sorry but watching you power trip over Jpagliai saying they did not like the fact a couple threads closed is BS. People are never going to like big brother. If you can't deal with that then your doing the wrong free job. Go put on a santa suit and ring a bell out in front of a supermarket or something. Ted |

I looked through 8 pages of threads and only found a couple that were closed, and it appeared the ones that were closed were due to violations of the commercial policy. It appears you have a very active club forum here, which is appreciated. You must understand, however, that with that volume of threads and posts, there will invariably be times that a member (or two or ten) will report a post that they feel is a violation of the User Agreement. As a forum moderator, it is Larry's obligation to act on those to the best of his ability. I think anyone would admit that if they do a job they are asked to do, and in return they are called "mod gods" and "on a power trip", you might have a tendency to get your feathers ruffled.
We certainly understand that sometimes a "far away" moderator may not understand the personal relationships in a local forum, and the moderating may seem heavy-handed to those more familiar with the local culture. However, it doesn't work for "local" moderators to moderator "local forums". It is one thing to irritate someone 1,000 miles away. It is quite another to do so to groups of people you might have daily interraction with (and thus might take sides, whether consciously or not). Oh, and any thread that resurrects PITW was doomed to failure and a bad idea at best. The stories I could tell........

RC does not burden me. For the most part, I really really enjoy what I do. 99% of the folks here are fantastic and we all have a great time. We have civil discussions and good exchange of information. Then, AS WITH ANY JOB, there is the 1% of people that feel that they are entitled to something and cannot follow the rules. Those are the people that we hate dealing with but have no choice but to do so. So, my question to you is: Do you like your job? Do you have a small part of your job that you hate doing? Because of that small part of your job that you hate doing, do you then hate your job as a whole? So your comment is completely WRONG!

I don't see telling someone that an opinion of something they observed is wrong. Is that being professional and in keeping with the highest standards of Reef Central? I think not.
You made it a point to state that you were not happy about the time away from family. I see that as indicating the burden you have with this volunteered job. To answer your question about my profession.....I enjoy every aspect of my job to be 100% honest with you. Do I have customers that are a PITA....of course. DO I let that ruin my day and outlook on other customers and then take that frustration out on the next customer. NO. Some people handle pressure and stressful situations better than others I guess. |

All this because DgenR8 was a little too sensitive to the "mod-god" comment?
Give me a break. DgenR8 overreacted with the "why don't you just go elsewhere - strike one" response. A moderator should have a little thinker skin. Let’s move on…. Rickyb, See what you started! :-) |

You guys don't see the bigger picture here.
There are over 172 thousand people here. You know that not all of them follow the rules. Say 1% of them does not follow the rules and need to be dealt with. That is 1726 people that we have to deal with. That is: 1726 people that think they own the board 1726 people that make spiteful comments 1726 people that call us names when the rules apply to them So forgive us if we are a little short but when you have to deal with this BS every day, any human being can become a bit short, no matter how much one loves the job!!!
