Got canned on the "other" board. Bunch of hypocrites. Did something to prove a point and they banned for it, did not ban others but hey, it just proved I was right.

I'll be here from now on, even after the ban.

Just be sure you keep the comments about the hypocrites to yourself. We won't tolerate smearing members of other board here. Thank you for your consideration.

I don't think that should be a problem for you, Sean has told me how he moderates, much better than others who seem to have their own agendas.

I look forward to seeing you posting more! :)

I've been in a similar position in the past- did something to prove a point (a long time ago, on a board that wasn't diecast related, and no longer exists). While I wasn't banned for it, I did have a lot of people angry at me for a long time.

As for this board- I try to be fair to everyone. And the mods and admins here know they can tell me if I step out of line, and I'll fix it. So technically we're run by a committee, but at least that way the best interests of the board are served instead of my own personal interests.

Just a little " :twocents: " worth: If you put yourself in a "Mightier Than Thou" position, expect criticism. Personal attacks have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with diecast collecting! Many of us are not wallflowers, however, and will not sit by quietly if personally attacked.
A moderator should be impartial, unbiased, fair and understanding. Sean, I think you and your crew can live up to that, eh?

As far back as I've been here, the moderating team has given me the impression that they're quite capable of doing their jobs. I really don't think I'm missing anything either, so I'm not going to bother asking.

And that's my nickel... ;)

Unfortunately, this is not the case here. On this board 'defending yourself' is considered 'flaming' and results in two (or more) people being disciplined where only one needs to be. If someone attacks you, please bring it to the attention of the mods and admins, and we will take care of it. If a moderator harrasses you, bring it to the attention of the admin team. If you have issues with an admin, bring it to my attention. If your problem is with me, I'm not unreasonable. Bring it to my attention and I will do my best to resolve your issues.

I hate drama, and flame wars are drama.

Indeed, I think we can. We've been doing so for over a year, and while we can't please everybody, so far we've done okay. Only two people have complained, and both did so only after action was taken against them.
