political leanings *should* have no bearing on moderating. but it's still a good idea to try to cover as much of the spectrum as possible. otherwise, it's a constant 'only conservatives are getting banned because all the mods are libs".. swap out the terminology as applicable... and i truly don't see the need to 'allow' disses and digs as you said dezi.. we are supposed to be adults here so there should be a way for people to post w/o that juvenile behavior. "and i truly don't see the need to 'allow' disses and digs as you said dezi.."... so k, shucks, your board, your rules so be it...ok any one know the tune and words for "Kum by yaa"...I'll be ready... Just a last thought, smileys are still ok though right? Used anyway we feel like...??

LOL. I have a week or two to decide. cme1201 before you decide you need to make sure you will be available to be here for @ 20 hrs to @ 40 hrs a week....if that is a problem then maybe being a Moderator wil not be that interesting.. So P.I. your saying that I need to curtail my posting time? Only 40 hr a week, I lurk here more than that.

You have to lurk to know what is going on here. This board is so connect the dots... like a soap, can't miss much or you lose the insane pulse of the board.....

Just for your information if any one cares, I just picked two threads..above average interest in my opinion, one very good interest and one that has been going on for a long time interest.
"Israel kills 12 yadda, yadda " thread ...606 hits[readers} / 88 posts..had 13 different posters..a Mod who came by and moderated so wasn't counted.
"Reactor Core..liberals ...Yadda, yadda" This was a big one 1895 Hits[readers] 230 replies, 22 posters.
As you can see we have a small group here, very intimate and on that larger one, some were a one post or two at the most...I have also been aware of new posters coming in, some posting very well, I don't mean they posted as I believe, just well thought out , well presented arguments but then when you look around they are long gone.
The reason for all of this deep long term and expensive research by me, [Am thinking of billing you for time moon, how is the kitty, any spare change there?} was a curiosity of who the hell is active here, how many .
It seems in many cases I am speaking to myself at times..so few new faces and when they are here and I find them entertaining, interesting , a change of.
Lets face it , we all know on almost all topics posted for discussion how all posters are going to address those topics, almost word for word brought over from some where else, thus so much ignoring or quick scrolls by..
You get the gist of it in a sentence, your mind registers...xyz NIC, thus ABC BS response,,scroll baby scroll.
For the new ones who have not established a comfort level, come in , sniff around, get a bit active, but shortly pick up on where it is going...no familiarity, no close friends, com padres so to speak, with ones with the same outlook so knowing some one has their back, really no interest in discussing topics on the board , just getting ones licks in and having others there for support, cud o's and hi fives, so the new ones who come in seem , to me anyway, say this BS sucks, I am out of here, and we rarely see them again.
solution for this apparent in my eyes happening, none...just a observation, though I think it is a weakness of the zone, EE no problem , EE is what it is , fun , Fluff, hither and dither.
Possible the no disses and digs might help, willing to give it a shot..but possible some others have a idea on what I brought up, or possible, the way it is know, just fine, no need for a change a different approach, "ABM s...is just fine and all that goes along with it.
By the way, as another aside , for those who are thinking of moderators, very, very little posting on topic as posters in those two examined threads, one of the hazards of moderating, a fact of life that one should be aware of..not a rule you can't, just the way it is.

Clearly more difficult for some than others... It's not local, national or international politics that's the problem. It's board politics. Funny how board life duplicates national life in re one side being constrained by different rules and held to higher standards. Ah well, it does give one sincere compassion and it definitely enhances insight into the troubles of our politically correct socially engineered times. The dichotomy is bound to result in conflict. Let's just see what America turns out to be. Up to this past election she has never disappointed me. Is madness still afoot in the land?

Hate to bust your bubble Marsha but most don't really care a wit about politics or about Dems vs Repubs except for just a small percentage of us so called political wonks ..I could be wrong but I sense a mood of frustration flowing over our nation with politics in Washington DC, the State Capitals ,and Local Government....such is the case out here in northern CA..which is very evident

I have a great idea and a fervent wish ...... that the P&M board just go away. Sigh, wishful thinking. Not that I think the board is a pain in the ass, or anything.

[/quote] Did Ole Bed Check Charley just fly over us??... Looks like it. Why would she other saying that? P.I. --- I leave you alone for 12 hours, and you go over the edge. I started the thread to see if anyone would fess up, and so far, no takers. Just a couple who professed an interest in the job. I do see this as a dying board, due to some issues, which we are not allowed to talk about here. Even looking at the list of boards here, we see some boards that have dwindled in participation, compared to our old home. I will be honest, I have perused around at Proboards main home, and kind of surprised they do not have a listing of the boards available to visit. How does anyone find the different boards that are out there?

You mean we all here just go to EE and chill out ?? Actually I believe if moon had a crystal ball before setting this all up , she would have made some deletion in her plans me think..possible a whole zone, possible certain members never getting in the front door, possible a combination of both..IMHO ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Diver, it may need to be discussed but it does NOT need to be public.. no more airing of the dirty laundry please " Mmmmmm guess that one went up in smoke from a new post just put up, back to the drawing board??

But as far of the rest of your comments....I am not sure what you are talking about i.e "issues we are not allowed to talk about" ..and I have NOT gone over the edge yet but probably just close this time..

This board is in the doldrums until the political season heats up. Heats up? These guys are ready to lob grenades at each other in Congress. Of course, the Dems, lost a martyr yesterday, in Weiner. He was a firebrand. Of course, now we can say to him, "Liar Liar pants on fire" and we would be correct, so he has been effectively silenced for the balance of his career- about four more days or so.

Ok let me try again to heat things up around here......I will think about it and start a thread tomorrow about Obama and his low polling.....and use Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin as my sources.....everyone OK with that??
And the San Francisco Chronicle has been doing some editorials about Obama since their White House reporter Carla Marinucci was banned by Obama's staff because she showed videos of one of his fund raisers out here without their approval..

How could we go wrong with Ann Coulter. Let the liberals count the ways....... She ranks right there with Briebart in their eyes.

Congress is small potatoes compared to the upcoming presidential election - which will draw all the nuts out of the woodwork in all their hysterical glory. We are in the doldrums...
