I just wanted to say that Helix has requested to be removed as OD moderator. He was not forced or even ask to step down. He has done so for his own reasons.

I want to thank Helix for the effort he has put into moderating the OD forum. It is a difficult area to manage, and it's sometimes a fine line between keeping order and stifling debate.

Thank you Helix for your time.

Thanks Helix.

It's not easy being Moderator, especially with the "Irish" folk off on another rant from time to time.

Now you can let your "hair down" with the rest of us trolls.

Thanks for the olive branch

The difficulty appears to have increased, to the point that the current moderator sees fit to lock a thread after personally sneering at the original poster, without any other posts having been made to the thread:

viewtopic.php?f=14&t=34545

My suggestion: Change the Banner - it is almost 1st Amendment as written, and is misleading.

It would better reflect the reality if it were added "Notwithstanding the foregoing, any thread may be locked at the whim of the Moderator."

Glad you missed the other thread he had made, which was even worse.
BigD is only interested in trolling, but cannot handle the butthurt from being put in his place. If you would like to be a Moderator, the Open section of the other forum needs a new one as BigD -who claims that Farley is admin there- removed me.

lol... Nothing to moderate over there anyway.

No... a user was abusing the system... and it has been resolved... the moderator has taken the correct actions in a timely manor...

The header does not need to be changed... It says you can talk about whatever you want... not act like an idiot!!!
