These Moderators Here!

[quincy]

I know we aren't allowed to publicly question or criticize them, but what about publicly thanking them? I really feel that they do a great job and a great service to this forum. They contribute in meaningful ways too. Sometimes Forum or group moderators can feel like "big brother" just waiting for someone to say something stupid or break the rules. However, I've found the mods here to be fair when it comes to tough decisions and on what threads should be closed and they are active in the community itself. They do a great job and give of their time so we have a great experience. So, a big thanks to the Moderators from this member!

Quincy, you are so right. The mods here tend to stay behind the curtain, only pulling the trap door when threads stray beyond the rule of law. No egos (or Eggos), and they always explain themselves.

 

[danielplainview]

Hear Hear ! I've found them to be very helpful and friendly.

They always fix my botched threads and pics too.

IBTL

 

[eightywon]

Yep

 

[quincy]

What does IBTL mean?

 

[woodsroad]

"In Before The Lock"

It's an afrcom phrase (ar15.com) where everyone piles into a doomed thread before the mods shitcan it.

 

[quincy]

Really?? You think the mods will shitcan a thank you? Haha that'd be kind of ironic!

 

[brian64]

@Quincy: It was an attempt at humor (I know...I should leave comedy to the professionals).

 

[woodsroad]

I found it ironically amusing.

I'm guessing that as far as forums go, a pipe smoking forum should be on the easy side of the scale for moderation. If you're a pipe smoker, you're a person who can sit back and relax with nothing to do but contemplate life for an hour or more at a time.
Now car forums......whew!!!!!!
But yes - as a newcomer, this forum seems well-run.

 

[quincy]

Once I found out what it meant I definitely chuckled!

 

[papipeguy]

Nicely done, Quincy. The mods jobs are important and more challenging since there are only 2 of the 4 who are actively patrolling the forum.

"I'm guessing that as far as forums go, a pipe smoking forum should be on the easy side of the scale for moderation."

Relatively speaking, perhaps. But there are always folks who try to push the envelope. (duck and hide)

 

[petes03]

Yep, we've got a great bunch of Mods here, and for that I'm thankful.
Speaking of Mods, has anyone heard from Lawrence? Last I heard, he was still taking a break.

 

[warren]

woodsroad: I dare you to name names! I . . . double dawg dare you?

 

[quincy]

Hahaha Warren!

 

[papipeguy]

petes03, Lawrence has been away fro nearly a year. I've heard nothing other than he needed time for family issues. I hope all is well with him and his family. Lawrence was a mighty contributor here and, I believe, the first moderator dubbed by Kevin.

 

[weezell]

What... Holy Crap... someone not criticizing but... complimenting???
I am so confused... this makes no sense.

WARNING WARNING WILL ROBINSON...
