WE NEED MODERATORS, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, it's better than 100's of replies from pornobots!!!!
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!! C3, you're lettin' us down even more!!!!
People whined that the moderators on the other sites were doing nothing more than running a police state, simply pushing thier own agendas. That any dissenting point of view was met with the delete button, un-popular opinions were swiftly removed with no regard to the intellegence of the post. A dictatorship as it was called.
Sleep in the bed you made.
the only other board i go to has moderators and i have never complained

Most of what you say is true. Some people objected to what they saw as a "Dictatorship." The one thing I disagree with you on is your use of the term "whining." I for one didn't "whine," I just decided not to frequent that particular board anymore after the moderators allowed a person who was known to them, but kept anonymous to the rest of us, to post something about another person who we all know well. That is nothing less than libel.
I'm not sure what your definition of a "whiner" is, unless you mean all of the people who disagree with the majority. I call the in-crowd followers and yes-men "lemmings." We all know what lemmings do, right?
You're not lumped in with the whiners. I guess maybe whiners isn't the correct term, but those who complain to no end, and for them Code 3 can do nothing right unless it's exactly what they want. When big brother leaves the room, and lets everyone come in and play, you either live with what you get, or ask big brother to come back and in and learn to be happy with that.
And actually, the whole thing with the lemmings, I have recently learned, is somewhat of a myth. It was during one of the those 60s-era Disney nature movies that the crew got the lemmings to follow each other off a cliff, thus starting the lemmings legend. Very controversial what Disney did, and created a urban myth in the process.
Either way, the simple way to fix this problem, is to stop allowing "guests" to post. Only registered users having the ability to post would cut down on the spam. Notice that it only started recently when all of a sudden annoynmous "guests" were able to post did all these problems start.
The Disney/lemmings story is pretty funny. I didn't know that!
Requiring registration might solve the whole porn-bot problem, but there are also a couple of "members" here who could use some lessons in civility. I'm glad to know that I'm not one of the Whiners. A bitcher maybe, but not a whiner.

OOPS!
http://www.modelfiretrucks.net/smf/index.php?topic=8349.0
The previous post is mine, I didn't realize I was signed out. Let me add one more thing: I've kept the name that I have been known by for YEARS on several different boards. So, what's your point?
So a search on Stepjam. There are more oops out there.-poorkenny
Does anyone, besides you, care? I didn't think so. Go back to the Comedy Channel and watch some South Park.
Tell you you what should happen kkkkkkenny.....why don't we let Stepjam just do what he has been doing for about ten years ........stay and give this board some integrity, honesty and class just by his presence...not to mention his fantastic modelling ability. He used that forum for a specific purpose and not for comment so I would say he has stood by his comment.....although I must give you some credit for your Sleuthing abilities or way too much time on your hands or even excellent memory...
My wife gave me a sweater for Christmas....I wanted a screamer or a moaner.......????

Who runs this forum? Who came up with the thumbs down and thumbs up idea? Just a simple question, and a simple answer is requested. OR do I get a thumbs down?
