I was just reading over on the AD forum and saw that our old friend has now been banned there. That makes it HD, BH, and AD.

It was a shame-- I hope we are done with that sort of problem--- I guess the moderators were trying to be reasonable--- it doesnt work with some folks

I think that is what got him banned. I could never figure out if he was smart playing stupid just to mess with people or one of those who is just smart enough to be dangerous. I do know he is running out of forums to be banned from. Maddawgs

He was laughing at us and playing for a year. I tried adozen times to get him into sensable conversation but it was just a fun place for him. Boy-- I had been coming to this website for years and was disgusted to see how it had turned from one of the best hooch sites to a wise guys toy. We should all keep our eyes open for anyone that disrespects this place and quicker action will be taken.

Hey Scotty, Now that we got our moderator back (yeah) and Rick had to unfortunately had to ban someone I think it is coming back. Looks like we get a new member or two every day now and there are always a ton of guests lurking. I'm seeing improvement. Maddawgs

"Maddawgs, Quote:the real problem was the habit of giving bad advice Bad advice can always be corrected by the community. My issue was his constant provocation and disruption of the community. I consider our community here as a type of fraternity. We help each other, we read, study and share what we learn. We understand that our community has an accepted set of norms and a code of conduct. Some are written ... others form by themselves. When we have our debates and arguments, we value facts, experience and real data ... and we recognize that our ideas are always subject to peer review. As long as we act in a civil manner everyone benefits. When one or more of our members continually agitates, provokes, insults, and mocks they are not being civil. It totally disrupts the entire community. The ""elders"" stop participating, the rising stars find greener pastures, and the rank and file soon lose interest and move on. That's what was happening. Fortunately, we're back on track. And for my part I'm really enjoying this forum again. Lots of nice people who are more than willing to share their knowledge ... and have some fun as well. Basically, a group of online friends -- an that's good thing! --JB"

MD and John-- Its definitly getting to be avery good place for information exchange once again. I was readyto stop coming altogether for a bit and unfortunately' a few very experienced folks have already left and never returned--
Who know how many newcomers were turned away by the misinformation and rediculous responces?
In the end' Rick gave the order to clean up the forums and after being very paitent put an end to the problem.

Maddawgs Speaking of lurkers. There are a ton of them at the wee hours of the morning. What can we do to be more direct about inviting them?

Well, on the subject of losing members...I've been away a while...guess no one could guess why...but I returned and found my old nemisis BW banned from here....I dont know what to say...ok, sure I do. He was a detriment to the art, the site, and humanity....was that going too far????
