LAST EDITED ON Feb-24-10 AT 11:56AM (MST)[p]"You know, WE (myself and the other mods) just do the best we can to keep the forums good. I've deleted posts and threads I shouldn't have, and I have let slide posts and threads I shouldn't have. AND, I've definitely missed a few altogether.
We try to police it by the rules I have outlined, but quite often it's just a judgement call. Some days I delete things that the next day I might let slide. Sometimes I delete things in one thread that I might not delete a week later in another thread.
I guess the bottomline is, WE just do the best we can and if that's not good enough for someone, then.....sorry. You know what mean? If you're going to use the site, you're just going to have except that. If we cannot live up to a persons expectations then I guess another site is where that person needs to go.
What really irritates me though is when I read the bellyaching about the moderating, or the questions as to why this or that was removed. Don't post that stuff in the forums. Just email me.
I don't consider myself any sort of "king" on this site. It's just that the moderators and I should not have to have a long dicussion and debate everytime we delete something, especially a discussion/debate here in the forums. These forums are for talking hunting, not talking about moderating.

Much better said than the "deal with it," statement. I don't think asking questions to try to understand issues is whining. I have no idea how many times you "deal with this nuke stuff." So when you jump down a guys throat for asking a question it doesn't bode well. Some of you macho men can't stand to explain because you don't have the mental ability to clarify your reasoning in your pea brain. I get where King Latturnius is coming from now. Believe it or not I respect him more for explaining than simply beheading because he can. Thanks for explaining Brian...err King Latturnius.
