i know that, But like i said, this is Supossed to be a FRIENDLY Site, We Should not have to Have this!!
I agree that we shouldn't HAVE to have this. But it's an unfortunate reality that the sense of anonimity that the internet gives people, makes some people a bit.... sharp with the tongue.
I have been a victim of this myself (unfortunately I reinforce the 'passionate redhed' stereotype
). I am SOOOOOO happy that we have such dedicated and positive moderators on this forum. I've never seen such an alert and wonderful set of mods with such a good sense of humor. Truely they are rare gems!
In fact, I'm so happy that they are so dedicated that if I did accidentally shoot my mouth off, and they did award me negative points, I would take the points and apologize to them. I've never seen them lock a thread when it wasn't richly deserved, they obviously really consider everyone's feelings. They're all so super nice that if I manage to get points out of them, I've super earned it
.
Thank you guys for all that you do! You've made these forums into the best community I've ever seen on the internet. And I spend an unhealthy amount of time online!
I wholeheartedly agree with your comment about the moderators. I confess I got a warning my first few weeks as a member, for something that didn't even occur to me at the time someone would consider "adult content". I chose the wrong analogy to make my point. I was SERIOUSLY hurt to get "slapped" on the wrist with the points, but I DID it, so I got the points. You better believe that I will try to express myself in a more "G-rated" manner. I did go through the emotions of "wait a minute, I've seen other posts that were worse than mine" "oh, come on, you hear worse on network TV" "what's adult content anymore?" But, the bottom line is; it was only a warning, so I will watch watch I type from now on and hope not to get anymore points.
Some of the topics we discuss on this forum are controversial and open for people to use it for their own agenda that has nothing to do with raising chickens. Hopefully this new point system will slow them down a little.
Thank you again, I love this site!
