Bodley, I am sorry you feel unhappy about me being appointed as moderator.
The fact is that the admins can't make everybody happy, and no matter who they appoint, somebody is going to feel unhappy about their choice.
There are many boards out there, so maybe you can find a board somewhere, where you'll feel more happy about the crew of moderators than here.
Good day to you too.

Yep, there are many boards out there. None of them I wish to be a part of.
This board is a part of something I wanted to make a contribution to.
I have to look to where I spend my (unlike others - NON returnable) dollars.
I happen to feel that the people who have been put in charge here are not the sort of people I have anything in common with. There are 2 exceptions ... both of which I have remarked about before in another thread.
If you look at my history, you will see that I am a well meaning and even tempered person. Where I fly off the handle is well intentioned. If that seems to others to be anti USA - it is because I perceive the US to be at fault. I pay taxes in the US. I not only deserve, I demand the right to criticise how my tax dollar is spent. NONE of this dictates or even indicates a hatred for America.
Perhaps it is you, in a myopic sense, who might be at fault.
I am, - if you look at my record on Seti and Beta, in the process of running down my cache. When it is over, THIS TIME - I promise you, I shall not return.
Many of you will say "Good Riddance". Those many of you will NOT have given as much computer time to Seti as I have. NONE of you will have kicked the tin with donations to the tune I have.
I do not wish to be moderated by a person such as Lena (or Christina or Elsa or Stopp). Her history is something to wonder about. Simple as that.
Goodbye

@ Bodley: You should never let your opinion of other people stand in the way of good judgment! LOL

The test should be, "Am I having fun with friends, am I participating in some interesting discussions, am I enjoying some interesting content on these forums?" If none of the of the foregoing is true, then yes, find some other forum that will offer you that. But otherwise...


Stay.

That was very well said Beethoven. There are some good people here, and the rest aren't too bad either. Who cares who the mods are, or what they are saying, or how they are saying it? So long as they don't stop what Beethoven just said; having fun with friends; participating in some interesting discussions; enjoying some interesting content on these forums. Let the mods do what mods need to do, and lets all give it a go and keep it happy.

Cheers Beethoven :)

Just a quick response by me for Bodley:

I dont like all the mods here. But i accept them as a part of Seti. We need them.
So, stay at Seti and happy crunching.


I should also point out that the recent changes to the moderation code make it far far more difficult for a moderator to abuse their power. Notice of every moderation is mailed to every moderator. The name and userid of the moderator are in that email (and in the email to the user being moderated).

Should any moderator start making unwarranted deletions, the rest of the moderators will catch on very quickly. Essentially, moderators don't have as much power as they did on Dec 31.

Eric


Thank you Eric.

And this will hopefully get crunchers back, who have left because of the abuse, they have experienced before.

Congrats Fuzzy. Have fun with your new job



LOL Thanks Champ. :-)

But you know me, I'll just fool about and have fun as I used to, I hope I don't need to use the power, that it won't be necessary. ;-)

So I'll continue to have fun. :-D

Testing 1 2 3...
There goes the neighborhood.

Yep...it's going upscale. :D

That is a very subjective view.
It is, however totally indicative of a retreat DOWNmarket.
Ah! Well!
