wayney: Actually the access to that board got changed to Rook read/write access.
It has now been changed back to the default of Guest can read, Pawns can write. I will check all public boards to make sure the default has not been changed on other boards.
wayney: I have no hatred and I am sorry you take it as pointless dribble. I was following the thread discussing Moderating problems and why there is conflict.
Clay, you will not achieve anything by pointing the finger at one person and trying to start another argument. Please stop ruining the public boards with your pointless dribble. Take it to a private board because I don't care about your hatred and I am sure many others dont either
There Is only "ONE" moderator that is always stirring hatred and being vulgar and fowled mouth to a lot of people but mostly women. It is soooooooo obvious of his personality flaw! Fencer, and the Global Mods are taking a bad rap for maintaining him in a position of which is so obvious to EVERYONE that he does not "BELONG"
I have msg'd Fencer and the GM to no avail. I know others that have as well on numerous occasions!
In all honesty I have noticed an improvement in his attitude but I know for a fact lots of people have left BK and or no longer post on boards where he moderates.
When the GM's ignore what's sooooo obvious, they begin to lose credibility.
I DO NOT mean this to offend, but to point out part of the problem as I have seen it.
nobleheart: Been there .. done that.. it is called the Flame Pit.. and it is a fellowship.. so only paying members can join..
They wouldn't consider an open board for this due to the children. They prefer to keep the main boards clean and looking as though we are in Happyville.. where there is no dysfunction what's so ever..
I have an idea.it is either a good idea/or a dumb one,I am undecided.
I think all would agree it is unfair to most players to wade past msgs that are baiting,argumentive or off topic.

but it seems there is a need for some to vent off on some issues.

so how abourt a board just for those who want to indulge in this.

possible names for the board:
the whinery
what bugs me
Czuch Chuckers: There are several forums that paying members can discuss issues, just not one for non-paying mambers (apologies to the pawns). Moderating issues are discussed by the moderators, global moderators (at length, trust me!) with Fencer keeping abreast of all developments.
Personally, I don't see a reason to air it all on a public board. But that is simply my opinion.
And JamesHird is so correct! The whole purpose of this site is to play games!
Czuch Chuckers: woudln't it be a lot more fun if the moderators intentionally made life tough for whoever they choose and generally spread chaos and hatred amongst fellow gamers?
Seriously though, you can complain all you like about the moderation but not one bit of those complaints effects your games which ultimately is why most people are here. To play games.
rod03801: Thats correct, but Fencer has been known to change his mind before, and he is known for listening to his membership for advise. There does need to be some sort of public forum to discuss moderating issues and other ways to make this site better...
I also believe that when the user agreement says that moderating issues should be handled in private, it is talking about "specific" issues with a "specific" moderating desicion. It is not intended that general issues about moderating not be discussed at all on any public boards.
This is a private website.. not a Democracy.
Fencer has a user agreement that says moderation issues should be taken private, and not aired on the public board.
No vote necessary.
O čem je toďten plk: Re: Could we move on from this subject please?
harley: it is none of my business.I havent even followed the "fights" in detail.but I find myself unable to understand why some have this uncontrolable compulsion to bait & argue.its such a waste of time,we could spend our energies in many positive ways that might actual amount to something.I dont know,maybe it too much testosterone poisoning.
Czuch Chuckers, nothing can be resolved when there is one incident and a hundred or so opinions about it. This is not a debate board.
If this was discussed privately, Walter Montego could receive the answers he seems to be seeking, and be offered a sympathetic ear on a one-to-one basis, without the interruptions of any other posts & opinions.
That is not blue shield, just common sense.
Purple: I have to agree with your comments 100%!!!!
BBW.... your comment "I mean what is another user who reads this going to do to help the situation? Nothing." doesnt make sense to me.
You think taking things private is not a form of censorship.... But other people seeing and undersatnding your comments may just "help" your cause! Its democracy in action.... If enough people read and see that myu comments make sense they may jump on the band wagon and help make proper changes, if enough people read it and disagree then I will have to adjust my point of view on the subject. It only makes sense to allow public discussions of how to run a 'PUBLIC' board! Any issue taken for discussion and resolution in a private "blue shield" society is going to be interprited with skepticism, keep it public and open, you guys are giving yourselves a needless bad rap!
Could we move on from this subject please? The people with grievances have had their say and I think it should end here before it evolves into an argument. There are clearly lots of different views about the events of the gothic chess baord, and if everyone posted theirs it would lead to a lot of disagreement, and a sore finger for me and floosie having to delete it all!
There are other venues it can be discussed. If you want to vent, there are suitable fellowships. If you want serious discussion, contact a moderator via PM. Thanks
EdTrice: I have read the recent posts here. After reading Ed's along with the other's comments since my second long post, I will take up my defense about the "Jerk" incident by sending it to these Global Moderators. I was going to delete that post of Pedro's, Ed until you copied it twice in one posting while complaining about it. I figured if you didn't mind calling yourself a jerk in public, why should I? You have as is your want and habit, removed said posting and Pedro's has been edited. I'll look through my saved messages and send yours to them along with my message. I'm sure you'll get your day in court. Besides, I've already said that I don't want the moderator's job of that board back, my fellow ex-moderator of the Gothic Chess discussion board, GothicInventor/Quesqusno/EdTrice. By the way, my handle here is Walter Montego, is it that hard for you to type, or do you enjoy making it hard for people to know who it is that you're talking about?
