I think I mostly agree with _ender’s message, but the messsaging could use a bit of work.

I appreciate this post and I agree with it.

This is a weird (and oddly troll-like) way to agree.

Troll-like? I’m trying to admit that I was wrong to convey my message in this manner. I can’t seem to communicate clearly, even when I’m being calm.

Thanks! I just saw a guy on tv over by the L.A. country fires being interviewed. They were wearing a vintage ROTJ shirt! Wonder if they are a member here?

It just seems unnatural to me to just say “I agree” to criticism when you’ve been defending yourself voraciously for the past couple of pages.

Is voracious the right choice of words?

No matter. I was defending my stance. I don’t think I have defended my method at all, and definitely not in the last few posts when I apologized more than once.

I think the word I meant to say was vociferous.

I am for being kinder to people and I admit that I wasn’t always nice to the new members. I don’t mind some stricter enforcement. But the constant weight of a potential ban for a bad day like today is ridiculous. We should all be able to prop each other up during challenging times.

The first sentence in this quote is, by far, my biggest driver for stricter moderation — not because I want OT.com to be a sterile Disney theme park ride where we welcome everyone by singing “It’s a Small World”, but because nobody deserves to be harassed simply for showing up and not immediately blending in.

And yes, moderators may step in if it looks like senior members having a spat don’t appear to be on the path to resolving it themselves. The months-long grudge matches are over. If a “bad day” turns into “bad days” and there’s no end in sight, you can expect us to talk to you about it.

However, no one will ever be banned for expressing their opinion about this place as long as it doesn’t get personal. A little over 10 years ago, we were being compared to Nazis due to some moderator actions, and yet no one got banned. You can feel safe knowing that you can be the same jerks to us you’ve always been (winky…face?).

I think you need to tell this to oojason.

Dude you really need to chill. He told you to stop sighing without explanation. He didn’t ban you for expressing your opinion.

Lately, bitching about the moderators’ actions have been doing more to discourage me from visiting ot.com than the moderators’ actual actions.

If we had the other b*tching thread it’d all be alright.

Whatever axe you have to grind, insulting me and the rest of the staff isn’t going to help. Maybe if I wasn’t in the middle of a disaster area I might take offense. I have bigger fish to fry today, unfortunately.
It’s a miracle I even have power right now.

You better be staying safe out there.

I’m surprised you went with that instead of the recent “comparing someone to a Nazi will result in a ban” post in response to the “No one was banned for comparing us to Nazis” post. But that’s just me 😛.

I’m not upset, I just thought it was funny. Though, in retrospect I’d have been better off saying nothing.

i didn’t think you were upset, i just think there is a lack of ‘water under the bridge’ around these parts. no worries Handman.
