Maybe you should look in the "Announcement section once in a while. Cliff stated someone was using his Email address to send out a worm virus. I think it started 2 days ago.

I'm the person who that happened to. Cliff and I have already discussed it.
MY POINT was that there is a rash of this crap going on again all of a sudden.

Triad,
I can understand your fustration but when I read you post you seems a little harsh. Try to be a little more toned/nicer with Cliff. Remember this Forum is his hobby.

TRiAD APR 17, 09:57 PM
isthis...you have a reply.

Hank, you're right. And I DO appreciate all he does. But I also don't need to continuously be subjected to trolls. I think the time has come for moderators. 4600+ users? I think it's just too much for him.

And the software does not appear to be able to ban people very effectively, or Cliff is choosing to let them return. (No idea why that could be, if that's it).

I love this place, but the level of sheer tolerance for harassment and threats between members is unconscionable. (sp? )

How does if work with moderators? What are they in charge of? What do they do?

That's crap and you know it. We have had rayB's, edsB52s, yo_sweet's, and more. They can simply be too much for one person to keep track of. Anyways, the way I see it, when one of us is having a problem, we're ALL having a problem. It makes me just as mad when people harass other members, not just me.

What would you be worried about losing out on anyway? Moderators only intervene on individual posts and only when something WRONG is happening.
...Or do you think members SHOULD be welcome to completely harass and threaten eachother?

if you compare the list of trolls with the list of decent members, the troll list is very small. there are bound to be some of them here, with over 4000 members. you can't get 4000 people together and expect there to not be anyone who causes trouble. i think Cliff controls it very nicely.
