Saturday night,9:49 pm.,central daylight savings time. Very cool out tonight. Both daughters, and my granddaughter are at the county fair. Grandson is sleeping in the back bedroom. It doesn't get any better than this. Some of you know that I am currently a Moderator at another site, a commercial site. I don't sell things there,I give advice. Sort of a big, ugly, mean,male Ann Landers! lol
Gather 'round kids. Let me show you just how a "help site" can spiral out of control, and watch as the people who STARTED that website quickly jump ship....to keep their own sanity!! Oh, did I mention that I am not paid anything for spending ALL DAY there? I do this voluntarily, 'cause I am such a good person!! You can just stop that giggling in the back right now! I see you.
We have grown people(and I use that term VERY loosely) who act like 3 year olds. No, that is an insult to the toddlers. Sorry, kids. Take this for example. We had a person causing trouble on the site. Being rude, calling people names,showing PRIVATE E-MAILS to other members,just generally being an ass. I am guessing here, But I am pretty sure this person was banned. I felt sorry for them, but they went to the top people of the site, and got back on! I was told that this person---let's call them X for short---even doctored E-mails that they recieved, to contain MORE than what was in them! Mind you, now, NO ONE pays a single penny to be here! It is totally FREE...and this person--X-- would go through all of this trouble? Just to stay on a FREE website?? Shit, X, sign me up for some of what you are smoking!!
Now I find out that one of my friends,an admin,is resigning over this shit! You MUST be kidding me! The people who own the site want the mods, and admins to keep order, and maintain some sense of civility....yet they cut our throats at every turn!! How can you make a site work when it is in chaos, and the only people that HAVE control, DON'T have control?? Thanks, Company Yes-Men!! Hell, please screw us some more!! Here are some condoms, take us to town!!
Now, X isn't the only problem...there are others,believe me. I just don't understand something. We were told to delete "bad" posts...ones that are disruptive, and someone "flaming" someone else on the boards. Makes good sense to me. Problem is, if a post gets deleted, there are two or three people who cry foul everytime. Here's an idea....CALL THE MANAGEMENT!!!! Oh, right, they are quitting as I speak!! Better idea...call the company that owns the sight....they seem to be great at screwing up things....see what they can do for YOUR little whining asses!!
Don't get me wrong, I have made some life-long friends there! People that I really like. But there are a few that I wouldn't let feed my dog...and HE is lazy and worthless!! If anyone from the parent company of the site reads this....TALK TO YOUR MODS-----TALK TO YOUR ADMINS!!!! And when you do(if ever) LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY!!!
I, for one, am tired of getting bashed by these little pansy assed fools on the site. Not a SINGLE ONE of them would try that shit in real-life! After ONE LOOK at me, 2/3rds would run...the other 1/3rd will shortly see their folly!! I was trained in hand to hand combat in the Army...I was a professional wrestler for a short time,and I was brought up in a Motorcycle gang. This isn't braggin', hell, I wish I had an easier life...but this is me,these are my qualifications. I prefer to talk things out...but if push comes to shove,it is good to know that you can shove harder than the next guy!!
Good-night, my children. Remember; "Don't sweat the petty stuff,and don't pet the sweatty stuff!!!". Have a good one, guys, I am outta here!!
