Mods are a wee bit like the Queen RF, you can't answer back and have just got to take it.

On a serious note, what has always made this a good board is that it was moderated sensibly. There is a big difference for example between people in the lounge having a laugh and everyone enjoying it and when there is an attempt to hurt.

Some of the topics go way over the top, without people getting annoyed or offended. I really do cringe at some of the recent stuff, but if people are having fun and it's not vicious then just don't read it if you don't like it I say. The mods let that go and it does no harm.

However when it is obvious that things are becoming personal they stop it, or at least give a warning. People actually have feelings in real life and that should be borne in mind. It also has to be curtailed when it goes so far that we should really stop children reading it, or there is racism or excessive profanity etc.

Keep up the good work, I wouldn't want to have to come back and Moderate the Moderators, now that I have my Warrior Poet duties back.

PS If anyone flames you let me know privately. Maybe you can't reply .....

Just so, JPaul-

Things are as they should be, seems to me.

Never count your &#39;posts&#39; while you&#39;re sitting at the table....

There will be time enough for counting when the dealin&#39;s done.

FC isn&#39;t dealin&#39; again is he.

What did your parole officer tell you.

Mods - The day you see regulars and/or 1000+-post members giving a general opinion of that you guys are oppressing is the day you should give a f*** about it.

Until then, I personally wouldn&#39;t blame any moderator here to blank out flaming from immature and arrogant members - The regulars IMO know what makes the mods tick by now so there should be an understanding between the regulars & the Team.

If the mods do care about what one-post flybys and similar say about them, then they&#39;d be getting too sensitive IMO.

My advice - Don&#39;t give a damn about what others say; The flames I&#39;ve seen were done in immature ways both in their language and their efforts to understand the mods&#39; points of view. And if they do get out of hand, don&#39;t forget that you&#39;ve got commands which they haven&#39;t...

"Ya gotta know how to get carried away, AND get away with it".
Sounds better.

All flamers should be lined up against a wall and have seven colours of ships kicked out of them.

As for spammers they should have their keyboards inserted in their least favourite orifice.

Load of bar stewards the both of them.

Okay.

Can you define the terms &#39;flamers&#39; and &#39;spammers&#39; ?

I don&#39;t know what bar stewards are but this orifice thing sounds like something most would like to avoid. Most includes me.

Not without a large pinch of irony on my spam.

Is this pinching anything to do with bar stewards?

I think I would prefer not to have a big pinch of that so I will be crusing for awhile.

Cruising without flaming and spamming, kind sir&#33;&#33;&#33;
