I have been a Moderator since 2/19/01...far longer than UFPike was around. I'd also like to mention that I never "fought" with UFPike. I may have replied against what he had to say, but a lot of other people do the same so I don't classify that as fighting.

In regaurds to MY quote, I wrote "play nice, or else" because Billy is a friend and I didn't apprecaite the slam on him that he has no friends.

Moderators are just that...they MODERATE the forums because John alone cannot do so. It is to OUR discretion what is appropriete and what is not. OFTEN we will have a discussion in our Moderator Forum about issues before an action is taken. Yet, in certain forums it is still up to the Moderator that runs that forum as to what action needs to be taken. As a Moderator of the Chi Omega forum I can lock, delete, combine and move threads from that forum alone. I cannot ban anyone, nor can I do those above things in the Chit Chat forum (for example).

John is the ONLY person on here who can ban people, so if you have a problem with it you have to talk to John. We don't VOTE either...that's just rediculous. Sorry, but I have too many things to do than to sit around voting people off the internet. We will simply bring problems or concerns about a post, John will research it and then take action or not. Without going into too much detail I will say this...when UFPike was around he was banned, then he came back under another name. If YOU recall, John did NOT ban him right away. There was a little bit of an uproar (not just with the Moderators - but regular GC Folks) as to why he could be banned and then let back.

Further more, I'd like to add that we, as Moderators, don't always delete things. You see, there is a button at the bottom of every post that allows people to "REPORT THIS POST TO A MODERATOR" and so it is thru that we learn about situations.

I feel bad if you personally feel that this is not a fun environment.

Hope that clears the air.
