Once again, we are experiencing drama and upheaval within the moderators ranks.
The history of TBC is littered with this juvenile nonsense.
Romero, Keeper, RW, Renee, and now Herman.
This has created a situation where Fash felt compelled to recruit kiebers, who contributed next to nothing to this forum and still, on his own admission, posts minimally.
Fash, this has to stop. THEY are not the problem. YOU are. Clearly, you do not know how to run a forum, and thus place your trust on others who are likewise lacking in experience and expertise. Add to that mix, the somewhat fragile emotions and personal disaffections of your previously selected team, and its little wonder chaos ensues.
To complicate matters, it seems that some members have influence on you that is not healthy. I'm talking about seoulbro in particular.
Speaking for myself, I'm fed up with this bullshit.
SOME people here put a GREAT deal of effort into breathing life into this forum, often against the tide of tards like Odinson, Freud, Mel and others. They deserve a better standard of moderation, and from people who equally try to make the place more interesting and fun.
So, here's the deal. Pick a team to take care of zones of their interest and general knowledge. As you once advocated, I'll take care of politics and social commentary. RW can do Forbidden Polka and Arts.
Seoulbro, who apparently knows quite a lot about moderating, can look after Money.
Kiebers can babysit the main forum.
You need to set parameters and policy.
Otherwise, things may get a lot quieter around here.

It's interesting you mention that because I was thinking about an arrangement like that too. :smiley_thumbs_up_yellow_ani:
What's wrong with Seoul other than his love affair with capitalism? He's a good poster.
Whats the problem with the modding?
I think some of yous take these forums too seriously.
It's fine now that Herman is gone.

I think there has been a misunderstanding about a poster here who is currently on a beach in Cuba.
Where did Herman go?
Beach in Cuba? They forgot to take me!

Herman is on his farm, seoulbro is in Cuba..
Give him heck when he gets back for not taking you.

You reading too much into this Crow.
I was not listening to posters or the admin. They complained about me and now I am a civvy again. The sun came up this morning, I am still a wellsite consultant and I am out of barrel wash.
As for Seoul, he had every right to complain. At least he called me dictator directly.
I am done with the drama until next time.

This is not about you, Herms. This is just another mod fuckup that was avoidable and unnecessary. We've had a parade of mods who were all good people, but couldn't manage to do their job in here for various reasons.
This has to stop.
Give me your address. I'll send you some Australian barrel wash.
Mods need a bit more firm direction and expectations.

Great! Set out your expectations on your forum. Don't let mods do whatever they want. Tell them what you want done. If you don't want people banned or posts edited, etc, tell them. People helping you need direction from you. That would go a really long way :)

It is about me this time anyway. I am a wellsite consultant, the big boss on drilling leases. I am used to bullying truck pushes, rig crews, cementers, wireliners, tonghands vac truck operators, water haulers, camp caterers and hotshotters. I was told what the admin wanted and then did my own thing. I am used to calling the shots, not taking direction, especially from a female.
Oberon still has a high opinion of himself and low opinion of those who don't share his for himself.
I spoke to Kiebers and he's already been effective as a mod by being square with me. I intend to return the favor and honor his expectations.
Oh stuff it Dinky.
Quote from: "RW"
Stuff what, where, and when? You don't believe I respect Kiebers and want to return the kindness?

Ah, so if I read this correctly, you are already unhappy with literally half the posters that currently post here?
Gee, for someone that's worried about a 'slow' forum, you certainly don't seem too concerned with calling out half the active posters here as 'tards.'
Check your own shit, old man, before thinking you know more than you do.
And as far as Kiebers? I haven't witnessed him doing anything unethical around here. The fact that he may not post as much is often tied to the job of Modding. When you're dealing with things behind the scenes, often there just isn't as much time available to casually post.

You three stooges do not constitute half the population, and I have no problem with you posting here.
You're still a tard...and if you keep harassing one of our members as you've been doing, its going to cost you.

I've been posting with RW for over 10 years.
I can assure you she doesn't need your protection, old man.
And your idle, tough guy threats won't work with me. I have seen many tough guys come and go...
You're acting like a child, Oberon. Drop the idle threats and bravado and just get along.

He feels naked without his alter.
He also gets a bit twitchy when he's running solo, without his fellow gangbangers from BH/TRF.

You're being remarkably provocative, junior, without your minders.
Balls dropped at last?
You're boring me, Oberon, and not in the fun way though I'd never give you that chance anyway.
This is generally boring.
Dinky, you outright told me you were here to cause Oberon shit. Those words came straight from your mouth.
Grow up time spanky.

I'm not here to cause Oberon anything. Oberon shits all over himself just fine without help.
Funny that's not what you said when you got here.
He was my original mark after reading about him on a random blog and thinking what a tosser he was.
Though I've grown tired of winding the old guy up. All he does is beat his caved in chest and stroke his little shrivel. He's not terribly bright either (if we're being completely honest here).
He's all yours, RW. Enjoy each other.
He's plenty bright dear :). Your repeated trying to get in here has been mildly amusing to watch.

Exactly. Plenty bright for you. :laugh3:

Oberon, he doesn't post porn or gore or links to either..
There's no rape or genocide drunken stupidity..
If he insists on using an alter as a condition of posting, so be it.

Quote from: "Dinky Dianna"
Freud, I'm going to pretend for a little while that you are a she, does that make you happy?
That might your Freud happy but not me.
I haven't got time for your silly trolling tonight Aaron.
:001_rolleyes:
Would you like me to pretend I'm your Aaron so you do, Fash?
Maybe I should say I'm Oberon so I can call you unintelligent for not being an atheist?
Or is that okay because Oberon is pretending to be a nice person and valued member of your non trolling community?
I don't get the different levels of pass some here get for some things and not other things yet conjecture about my identity and female gender is a hot topic. Can you explain that to me, please?
I like posting here. Even really like it since I'm able to after so many months of Herman doing his thing, so I'm not saying I don't want to because some people are glued to my bio or lack of, but what gives?
I think kiebers could be one of your best choices yet. He approached me and let me know that I was free to be here as long as I abided by the rules. How righteous and simple is that? Nothing but respect for kiebs. You as the owner can do anything you think is right. That's your perogative.
That includes repeatedly telling me I'm a man with a history of trolling. Doesn't mean I should or would accept that if I know different.
Not tonight Freud.
Not what not tonight?
Quote from: "Dinky Dianna"
Stop it, I'm not in the mood..
Take the trolling back to TRF and leave me alone tonight.
If you want me as a person to stop addressing you because you're not in the mood for it, I can do that. You are the owner and I'm obliged to do that.

So what you're saying is kiebers encouraged you to resume your puerile trolling back here?
That's nice work from a mod...who is supposed to act in the forum's best interest.
And since when have I ever pretended to be a nice person? I quite enjoy crushing roaches, as you well know. Most of your TRF allies bear the scars.
