    Moderation

    I have reached out with the notes below to a couple members via PM,
    since I did not get a scathing reply, I'll just guess it made sense,

    Please give the below a look over,



    After a few PM’s and emails with sysad (Pat) I have been granted permission to be a Moderator for this forum.
    Bugs are still being worked out, re what I can do , cannot do , access etc etc, but that will all be done in good time,

    Meanwhile, I can give folks infractions for breaking the oft posted rules.


    Having said that, let us all work toward improving this forum, and hopefully getting some of the folks that have left back.

    How can we do that?
    Simple answer is, behave.
    The 2nd Amendment/Politic section is just that.
    Note the wording under the title (that was recently changed?)
    Time to put the gloves back on and keep it civil. Argue points, not personalities
    That means exactly what it says, no more name calling, hissy fits etc
    Keep it civil, and argue the points,
    Personal attacks are not in the rules,,
    Realize also that not everyone will be ‘on your side’ so don’t let it get personal,



    Re the rest of the forum
    When was the last time you posted there?
    Not saying it is a requirement, however I am saying the 2nd Amendment and Gun Talk are not the only sections on this board, and honestly, not why people generally come here.
    So if you have a section that you have some expertise in, please, by all means post, be polite, answer questions or have conversations and help restore this forum to its past glory.

    Now, to address something else that has been mentioned,
    As moderator I cannot see IP addresses, and will not likely be able to once Pat figures out what I need as far as access,
    However, I have asked Pat (and Jeff L) if they can see IP’s
    If they can, I will submit a few names to verify that a member is one member, not 3
    (Hint, if you are a sub account or troll member,, may want to go ahead and bow out curtain left)


    Thank You

    Richard,

      I talk politics in the 2A forum and nowhere else. Not everyone can say that. Overall, traffic is way way down on this site. So my question is...moderation for what purpose? To create a safe space for supporters of one particular politician? If so then the idea is a sham. But if not, then the supporters of that politician, for whom ignore lists apparently aren't good enough, will be unhappier.

          Have through my adult life had a real strong interest in 03, 03-A3 and M-1 Garand rifles. Found CSP shortly after learning about CMP. Have visited this site just about daily for a number of years. Appreciate your willingness to be a moderator. I do not consider that I have a lot of detailed information to offer. Hopefully members and guest with deeper knowledge can contribute. Sincerely. bruce.

            only you would see the tree and not the forest,

            go back and re read a few post from when I first came back to this site,

            moderate for the forum, all sections, not just one, and to keep folks inside the rules, to hopefully enhance the membership, not run them off,

                I wonder if Sam got some bad news or something on the health front, something that suddenly darkened his outlook. Hopefully not. Hopefully he's feeling good and chasing Nazi raccoons out of the garden or something.

                    I believe you'll find the outcome to be chasing the Nazi raccoons from this forum.

                      If by that you mean the posts that refer to National Socialism lurking behind every other bush in America then perhaps so. If Lyman wants to delete such posts or coach the posters, okay by me.

                        I can say that the Nazi talk has a place, and a time,

                        and is vastly overused on this forum,


                        again, need to remember the goal is to restore the forum, if possible,

                        not to sound like the AHC

                            Special thanks to Lyman for volunteering to moderate.
