Yes. Let us give a big thumbsup to the Mods

.

Much like workers at sewage treatment plants they do a job which few people want but which is necessary to keep our civilization running.

And frequently has them hip deep in fecal matter.

I have to agree...
Some guy trying to suck up.

Some of them (mods) probably like to dress up as women.

Kind of like what Fox News does on a daily basis.
Further, used car salesman extraordinaire, Fleetwood has not been banned. YET.

To be fair,I was not yet a Mod when I posted My comment.

Thank god, I thought for a second I'd become mod

The mods are in a very difficult position here. Do they admonish TCO95 for bumping a three year old thread, or simply delete it on the basis it's all 'thanks' posts?

Either way, I'm sure they'll do a great job

This is indeed a controversial thread.

I TOTALLY Aggree mate.

YET--what I don't like seeing --- AND DON'T UNDERSTAND in many, many threads is:

"Blocked"
"Banned"
These are blunt statements !

Quite a few of these 'banned-posters' of whom I had a great respect for, actually opened my eyes and educated me.

What did they do to get banned? I don't know!!!

I'm an old "softcore" and "Elegance" freak, ok ?
That's where I hang out and on the Gen Discussion.
But when I follow a thread, in any Section, and want sometimes to comment, the person I want to debate with has been 'banned'

And, in my opinion banning weakens contributions, information and support for this forum.

Why not suspension for a month or so ?

I wouldn't get so itzy if it wasn't for the fact that a lot of the major contributions to this forum, foundations of this forum, even -- are by people that have "Banned / Blocked" on their badge.

I just want to learn about Directors or Performers --- and some of those guys knew what they were talking about.

**tygrkhat40** · June 6th, 2013, 03:47 PM

Blocking and banning are extremes that the mods don't always like to use. Blocking and banning are for those members who feel the rules don't apply to them. I myself was cited by another mod when I broke the rules. It was unintentional, but, rules are rules and your status on the forum doesn't allow you to ignore what all of us, mods included, have agreed to by joining VEF. We mods have had deep discussions about whether a Vintage or Veteran Member should be banned or blocked. Some have accepted what the decision is and have come back and behaved themselves. Others have come back with attitude and others just go away forever.

So on behalf of the moderator staff, you're welcome. But a big thanks should go out to the membership who know the rules and keep them, so VEF remains the place it is.

**rupertramjet** · June 6th, 2013, 03:59 PM

Like most people on this forum I appreciate the mods, I have moaned at one, because I did not agree with another poster, his response was well thought out and explained the right of the other person to make his point, and why he was not going to censor the comment, which I saw and agreed with, after calming down!

It is noticable how so many of the early contributors to this thread have gone on to become mods thought!

**haroldeye** · June 6th, 2013, 04:30 PM

I used to be a regular on another Army oriented board. I don't spend very much time there anymore because the standard of moderation has dropped. What was a good site has now far two many dim witted morons flaming each other and bigging themselves up.

The moderation on this site is excellent. We all know where we stand and we all know the limits. Long may it continue.
