if this gets me banned so be it

you are the only one with power here

you are allowing bullies to rule FORUM GARDEN

you are allowing personal attacks to run unchallenged

you do not answer when members complain

i have not been here long but to this place is being let fall to pieces

it could be so much more

it is one of the best forums on the Internet

BUT you must take charge

ya friends can and do as they like the rest of us must just sit and watch

As I've stated ad nauseum - I did not create ForumGarden to be a place where I had to babysit everyone. That's a ridiculous assumption.

To ask me to get involved in every single little squabble just doesn't make sense - nor do I have the time to do it.

BUT...maybe it is time to set up additional standards of conduct and have the moderators enforce them.

We don't need no more friggin rules or mods making arbitrary decisions about posts. I think you are doing a fantastic job Tombstone.

Jimbo,

I agree with you - and FG has been run since its inception as a place where the members *moderate* themselves.

As I wrote a couple of years ago: If I acted on every complaint from every person, FG would have zero members. Everyone would be banned!

And you know...that wouldn't work because the first person I would ban would be myself. :wah:

Id like to know how many complaints are against me. We could have a contest. Most complaints gets a free membership or maybe a couple hundred bucks and fancy bbq grill. A stainless steel one. With 2 burners on the side. With utensils. In a nice leather pouch. And maybe a side of beef. And a freezer to store it in.

If people just showed a bit of self control, avoided who they don't like, kept their arguments between themselves and not on the public threads, bit their tongue now and again there wouldn't be any need for mods or yet more threads like this.

Feeling very small now - I've noticed that no-one has replied to me so it's obviously me that's on ignore and that no-one likes.

I'm very sad and I'm going down the garden to eat worms,

Not that anyone will know

seeing as I'm on ignore

and everyone hates me

mmmmm, should worms be crunchy?
