If you have a problem with something on this board, bring it up with Vic "VLS" in private and handle it properly. If it is with something else, handle it over there with them as well. That would be the absolute proper way.

Hello GG, our moderators have been advised since some time now we're going to switch to a community moderation system + a moderation bot when the new site gets up online.

Any personal issue with a moderator isn't worth pursuing right now as we are only days away from me being the only active member of the staff & relying on the community as a whole to cover the moderation part

My advise is not to worry about pointing at anybody's virtues or faults. People is smart enough to make-up their own mind about others. Like I just mentioned to a friend: every individual has his/her own ledger. It isn't our business to add or remove from it.

Pretty darn good 'words' for those that would desire to ignore the person vociferating as they walk or run down the street, sit in the casino, adjoin a nearby booth at a restaurant, be occupying the same locker room, or perhaps standing in line behind that person at a retail counter, etc. Pretty good!

That sounds interesting and innovative. I look forward to seeing this in operation.

Firstly, I don't think "people" are smart enough to make-up their own mind about others all the time. Secondly I believe it is our business not to go through life with blinkers on in denial of atrocities and tyrannical attitudes such as those displayed by obvious racists, bigots, and homophobics, for example.

Mr nice guy blinkers will lead you down the path of darkness. I choose not to go there so will speak up when I see the need.

Sorry for not apologising for my beliefs.

Detection of blatant spam can be automated easily since spammers have a one-track mind: "post the link, post the link"; and so they do for our bot to catch

The new "Peacemaker" group is going to be given to active members who flag posts accurately during the last 7 days, so everybody can choose to wear the badge if they care for our community and hit the report button.
