Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please be certain that the location field is correctly filled out when you register. All registrations that appear to be bogus will be rejected. Which means that if your location field does NOT match the actual location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected.
Sorry about the strictness of this requirement, but it is necessary to block spammers and scammers at the door as much as possible.
VOTE for your choice of moderators on this site!

ah well, looks like its virtually done now anyway..snakemom1961 said:
good luck to the new mod (s)
OK, the voting is over with. Thank you all for your participation.
What I intend to do from here is to make the top three (3) as site moderators for all of the forums. They will have full privileges to edit and delete posts and threads here as well as ban and unban any members who get way out of line.
I will be setting up a special forum for these mods and myself to discuss issues privately when it is necessary to do so.
Just a word here, however. It has been my experience that some people will just rankle at being "moderated" no matter who it is. And I expect that they may come to me with complaints about it. If you choose to do so, have all your ducks lined up in a row. Facts, details, dates, and evidence will be the rule here. I will simply ignore vague generalizations sent to me where there is no meat on the platter. There is always the possibility that a moderator may go off the deep end with enforcement. But in such cases, the evidence will be CLEAR and unambiguous. I do HOPE this will not happen, however.
Congrats to the new mods: Roy Munson (117 votes), Susan (86 votes), and mbdorfer (67 votes).

I'm also hoping that one of the mod "priveleges" will be a much larger PM box. I'm hoping that 99.99% of all problems can be resolved via PM.Rich Z said:

Just a question - will the mods be marked out in any way? Any new members who weren't here when the mods were appointed might be less inclined to behave themselves if they think they're being told to calm down or whatever by regular members. Sorry if you're already working on this Rich, not trying to jump the gun, just thinking aloud really.

The mods are now members of the user group "Moderators". That will display their member name in blue coloration, but does have the drawback that their Contributor medallion does not display. There may be a way to do that, but I just haven't fumbled my way to that option yet. Seems to me I ran into that same problem over on FaunaClassifieds that was never solved, so maybe that's just the way it has to be. :shrugs:
So for the time being, the moderators themselves can select from their own User CP profile as to whether or not they want to be displayed here as a moderator, or as a Contributing member.

You probably won't thank me later on.... With the higher number of stored messages, that just means that you will have all that many more to have to go through when your inbox STILL fills up. :grin01: I have it set to 600 over on FC and have to clean it out about every 2 months. :bang:

Thanks for the congrats!
I'm going to miss my shiny thing, but I don't want there to be any confusion in the hopefully rare instances where I may have to actually act in a mod capacity. But I do like my user name in blue...Plissken said:
