You know there is always the option that if you don't like the rules here - you can go elsewhere or even start your own forum.
And then there's always that option of Hoodie enforcing his rules and then we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Which rules do you want enforced SPG - the ones that are posted - or the ones you are making up??????????????????
Hmmm . . . a picture of a Girl from St. Paul . . . followed by a post by a person nicnamed St. Paulie Girl . . .
Quel Coincidence!
"Joe"..you know that's what you were trying to urge...bait....you knew a
comment would come following that picture..

Like I said earlier . . . Hoodie gave FAR TOO MUCH CREDIT to you and the others for thinking you knew what the word BLOCKED/BANNED meant.
Barb - "Joe" should be blogging in the gutter, not on here.
Please submit questions or comments about comportment to me via Private Message. It appears I'm being nominated for new Gratewire moderator. Thank you.
SJF,
I'll answer your question with this quote, which sums it up for me.
When humor goes, there goes civilization.

I'll second that nomination Dear Abbey - I am sure grievances will be heard with "Dear Abbey" in the moderation seat!
Diva - You're new here?
Yes, I just signed up earlier this week. I stumbled on the site I think when I did a search for "What Birthers Are Saying Now"
um, okay . . . so what is your definition of the word "Blocked" ?
The definition of blocked is really a moot point. I moderate several boards myself and have for a good 15 years. Almost all boards give you the option to block for a certain amount of time. So as moderator I can block you for 30 minutes to give you time to calm down. That's doesn't mean that you have been banned forever. I've also seen situations when there are multiple moderators with different oppions. Moderator A is more laid back the Moderator B and may not block someone for a reason that B would.
The "person" is being blocked/banned . . . not the moniker. Is that too hard to understand?
I fully understand what you are saying and I would ask you the same. I saw no rule that prohibits a banned or blocked person from creating a new account. What about that is so hard to understand? It should be a given that banned person is not welcome here and should not create another account especially if they are using the accounts to harass or stalk someone - a BIG no-no. I think if She-she had been given a timeout, she should have honored it, but its not an enforced rule.
Creating new accounts was the downfall of Greta's many blogs...as you well know Newbie...really?

Not yet . . .
And just FTR . . . "Hoodie" BANNED Chareese, so that doesn't leave any room for "difference of opinions between moderators".
This brouhaha is only occurring due to the subjective standards when enforcing "no personal attacks". The use of humor, parody and sarcasm are currently considered off limits.
If that's to be the case, why have this forum in the first place?
Think about this. Is adding an "LOL" after your post, smirking and degrading another poster? Seems so, these days.
Just for the record, Annie, my LOL wasn't meant to degrade you in any way - I actually find you very amusing -
You LIE, evzone and I'm gonna report your ass! :-)
barb,
I thought you said the other day that you would no longer be posting here, as you were fed up with this board, or is my recollection wrong?
No your recollection is correct....your name isn't though!!
I think I made a wrong turn somewhere this morning.
LMAO @ BARB !!
You are too funny !!!!
I say it like it see it...lol
barb,
So I see that you are on the same exact page and have the same obsession as another poster on this board. Sorry to hear that. You may say it as you see it, but you certainly don't stand behind what you say, now do you?
Guess not if you say so...must be true then right?
St. Paulie, you are gonna have to accept the fact that the world doesn't work the way you want it too. If theres rules were enforced, you would have been blocked for making a person attacke against Checkers just a few hours ago!
You LIE, evzone and I'm gonna report your ass! :-)
Glad you added the smiley, Annie, or I would have taken you seriously - NOT!
SheShe - When they put you in charge . . . we'll discuss it, okay? But right now, I see no rule that says a person cannot identify a fraud. It's a mere observation . . . not an "attack".
Fraud? You're onto my PayPal Account, Paulie?
St. Paulie, you don't see yourself!
It was an accusation and an attack against Checker. No proof was offered.
The post was also not edited by our esteemed moderator. This needs to change.
EDIT CORRECTION by Moderator - the posts - all that were reported were edited. .
Hey Barb - Doesn't it feel good to know that you can come and go as you please on this forum WITHOUT having to change your identity? That choice is granted to those who aren't banned . . . to use at their discretion.

The only thing I can surmise from this is, Paulie is being assured by 'someone' that whatever rules she breaks it will be ignored. On other boards that I have been on, there have been 'friends of mods' who were busted for their bias. Don't know if that's the case here, but it certainly is suspect.

Barb, was this directed to me? I have no idea who Greta is or was.
The fact that Samual allowed St. Paulie to get away with that direct attack speaks to character and the ability to be objective.
Now St. Paulie is wandering around bragging about it. I guess it is here where you get to feel special LOL
MODERATOR CORRECTION - Any comment by SPG accusing Checkers of being Chareese IF REPORTED was edited.
Hi folks,
You may have noticed our conspicuous absence over the last couple of days. We have a bona fide ongoing personal emergency entirely of my own making, and that is eating my lunch at the moment. If anyone accuses me of being over-committed or over extended, I will ask you politely to believe me instead of the facts. LOL
I will have time later today to address all this, clarify the rules, and answer the zillion PM's I have received over the last couple of days.
I would like to say that it appears the only thing standing between members and their ability to enjoy the site seems to be the members.
Remember the Winston Churchill quote that "I would never belong to a club that would have someone like me as a member"? I think we all have at least that in common.
Lemme get through the work day and I'll be all over this likes flies on Tootsie Rolls. [Rated-G]
P.S. Anyone here live within an hour or so of I-80?

There you go making crap up again.
Hey, I can only go by what I see. Just overjoyed aint ya!

Diva, this forum was created b/c Greta Van Susteren closed her forum, which is where this unique group congregated.
It's a long story and you won't find ANY GVS love here. We just liked to abuse her forum and of course, whack her around a little bit. :-)
Diva . . . I think maybe you are confused. Hoodie is not a moderator . . . and as he just posted above, he'll tend to this later today.
thediva may very well be another foggie. They send the best of their crop over here. I can't repeat that enough.
IMEO (that means In My Esteemed Opinion).

Oh that Greta. Thanks for the history lesson! I actually liked her before she joined Fox.

Forgive my confusion there are alot of names being bandied about.
If nothing else comes from this thread, I hope there is a good "come to Jesus" for all of us because as we get closer to the 2012 elections, there is going to be more pissy fits especially as we begin to see improvements in the economy, we now see Corporate profits that should eventually spill into more jobs. Sure this is good news for America, but this will create a hard rock for some who can't accept the basic fact that Pres Obama is the legitimate POTUS. As we begin to see to the shift back to the middle, some on this forum will probably face a depression.

SLFme:
The best of their crop doesn't mean much. What is that, maybe 4th graders instead of 3rd graders??? I used to smack PJFogey around like a carpet over a clothesline.
But he was tons smarter than the Obama Conspiracy bunch of Obotski, who don't have a brain between them. Or maybe they do??? Yeah, they do. Exactly ONE BRAIN between them.
Tee Hee! Tee Hee!

Not so Hoodie. It is more than just members ruining the atmosphere here.
I agree Sheka. if I manage to stick around that long, I suspect my calm demeanor will disintegrate rather quickly around election time. Since 2000 I need wine and Xanax to get through October 1, to the election *laugh*
Well one of the things that has been imported from Greta's site - is that every time a new member joins the Far Right Posters immediately accuse them of being someone else. Nasty little habit that is happening here on Gratewire.
P.S. Anyone here live within an hour or so of I-80?
I do! I can be on I-80 in 35 mins.
Diva, it will get hot around here as we near the elections.
Come around more in the evening. This is cool forum. Our membership is small right now and we have been here since Hoodie started it up.
Contrary to popular belief, there are more conservatives here but they are hiding now because of the BC and Osama reveal/ Kill. They will come out of the wood works as soon as a poll come out showing even the slightest drop in Obama's poll numbers LOL!
