Very well and diplomatically put Rose. I couldn't of said that any better myself, babe. I am a mod at another board and have been a mod at many a board. Sometimes, it's a thankless job, but overall, I've not come across to many problems, really. Thanks, Amy. It sounds like you understand completely. ;D  Like you, I have not come across too many problems, though. The members here are great. |

I certainly have no intention of leaving...I do not post that much anymore..I am sorry to say because the posts are becoming quite generic...and I agree tremendously random...so I do agree
with most of the rules...I suppose I should have stated that clearly...I suppose I thought it was a democracy..that was my misunderstanding...
Personally if I found a thread I found offensive..I would skip it I certainly would not report it to anyone...I guess that is just me....I amnot easily offended..
I will say again CRIMSONANGEL is the most insightful poster on this board...
and I will agree the stream of 15 posts...LOL...HEHE...and whatever are making it hard to follow
at times..
I do enjoy the board very much...I just am a stickler, especially when I havee never seen any thing offensive posted here...

Laura, normally, I'd agree with you 100% but, since this is a 13+ board, you have to censor yourself more, trust me on this. THIS is the ONLY 13+ board I belong to and I have to catch myself. And like you, I am not easily offended nor have I found anything too offensive on here ( only a crack or two about Allison which I thought were very immature and unnecessary but they were taken off and IMHO, rightfully so ).
Agreed, parents need to monitor what their kids are doing on the net, but seriously now. Would YOU want YOUR mom or dad RIGHT OVER your shoulder reading EACH and EVERY thing you are reading on a board? There has to be some responsibility on BOTH ours AND the kids parents shoulders.
For a 13+ board, this is a pretty cool one. Otherwise as I said, I'd NOT be here. You should see how I talk on my 18+ boards. LOL! You'd not believe I was the same person! ;D

Why thank you Amy...point taken...I am guilty of the same thing that is for sure...I know I am coming across in a way I do not want to...I just can not seem to articulate my point properly..should have paid more attention in school and not BOYS!!!
it is true as a parent of 2 teen age boys I actually should pay more attention than I do to what they do on the net...thats for sure

uh-oh, rules. I've never been one for censorship, and I always thought people need to toughen up some. I mean, if they cant handle a message board, where they can hide behind a computer and simply walk away, what are they going to do when they encounter real life at it's worst?
I'm just kidding. I know my boundaries (most of the time), but cant help thinking that most of these rules were aimed at me. But you are all right, there is the PM's I can contact with people on a personal basis.
And there were really complaints on this board? Wow, I am shocked? Hey, what about them gas prices!

I will tell you this, my experience of being on many a message board, on myspace groups and forums, proboards, all of it, you will notice that the argumental and debatable ones tend to be the hottest topics. I get a blast of being able to sit back and watch two people being able to debate the same issue from different sides of the quarter.
And what about post #65? What happened there? Oh, I'll just go see for myself.

I guess this gets under my skin and I wonder why it doesn't anyone else?? esp. post number 65 in apolo pics with allison... Laura, as I just told you in a PM, I deleted the some of the posts without looking at the names because I did not want to have bad feeling towards those who were being rude about Allison. I deleted them based on what they said, and not because of who they were. It is my fault that, that post did not make sense to you because I went back and deleted an earlier post in which I had said that members needed to be respectful of Allison, even if they did not like her. Everyone was being very respectful by then and so I did not feel my post was necessary any more. I will know in the future to leave all my posts there. Any posts that breaks the rules and is seen by a mod, will be deleted. I am really sorry if I seem harsh about this, but if someone is going to join a forum, they have to abide by the rules. That is how it works. I certainly intend to go by thte "spirit of the rules" instead of the "letter of the rules." For example, I have seen several posts under ten words and I have not deleted most of them because the member usually writes longer posts and in those particular cases what they wrote was appropriate. But any mean spirted posts, like the ones I saw on the Allison and Apolo picture thread will be deleted. |

Oh, I'll just go see for myself. Absolutely no problems with debates, Warhorse. It is fine for the members to disagree as long as they do it in a respecful manner and don't get mean spirited about it. I saw your post earlier about how you feel most of the rules are directed at you. I am sorry that you feel this way. But I think I can honestly say that Lindsey did not have any particular person in mind when she made these rules. I certainly didn't think of you at all when I read the rules. I have never seen you break any of the rules...you aren't mean spirited, you keep it "clean," you don't posts silly posts. |

Thanks Laura6  As far as this being the only 13+ board, I don't believe that is true. There are lots of boards out there that have people under the age of 16 posting on there boards. And you don't know who they are or what there age is. This is a great board, don't get me wrong. and I noticed that there are alot of moms on here as well. The fact of the matter is this, everything that you want to say on the board about a topic, you might not can say. Period. Take the comments and jokes to your PMs and your arguments if it gets too heated. And I hope that the board does get back to the way it was just a month ago, when you could post and don't feel like you might get flamed, or deleted, or see a topic and are afraid to post your opinion, even if it is personal or just in passing. There are people who are feeling that they have to bite their tongue, and this isn't a "if you don't like it, then go to another board" situation. I'm just saying that there are some people here that might feel like they might can't say as much as they want or would like to for fear of being flamed or deleted. Or challenged in a discussion. That's all. |

And there was absolutely nothing positive in taht last post so here goes one.
I do respect the mods jobs here and I think that you guys do a great job of the board and website. I also try to welcome the new members here as much as I can and I will continue to post here as much as people want me to be here.
With that said, I will try my best to stick to the rules. I don't know if I have broken any or not but for the future I will stick to them.
