I'm not understanding the outrage here.
Garrett cannot post. Drexel knows this, and he also knows that I'm not undoing that. So I'm not sure what his issue is.
So I did everything Brandon asked. garrett was out of line, and I told Drexel (both on radio last night and privately) that I will remove him and not let him post here.
I am not going to appoint mods. This site isn't big enough to need mods, and I am here enough to where I can usually clean up the crap within a few hours.
I do not want mods because I don't want to create a pissing match between me and the mods regarding our possible different interpretations regarding who should be banned, who should be restricted, etc.
Some of this was what caused the demise of DD. Too many different views and opinions of how the forum should be run/moderated, and a power struggle occurred.
As I mentioned last night at the end of radio, when I left DD, my plan was to leave these forums forever and not look back. Only after some months passed did I soften on that, but I resolved I would never get in that situation again. I will sooner take this site down than appoint mods here.
Marty, do not post "anonymous" e-mails bashing me again. I believe the e-mail you posted is from neveragain39, who is a banned user here. When I ban someone, it means they need to be off this forum completely -- not ghost-post through you.
If I see this again, you are gone. I don't give a shit if you think you bring the hits or whatever. I don't run this site for "hits", money, or traffic, so you're gone if you can't respect a few simple rules here.
Regarding certain bad posters here, I will take it on a case-by-case basis. If someone is just unpopular, I am not banning them. If someone covers the forum with nonsense, then I will either ban or post restrict them. If someone is mentally disturbed to where they are harassing or threatening other users here, I will ban them.
