If you are refering to the Moderator talk in this thread go look in Forum Issues. Almost EVERY thread about this was locked before too many people could post.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add "people who assume too much and go on babbling about the wrong subject entirely" to the list.

lol I love it when Nik is on a roll :)

Okay Nik, you've been around long enough, instead of "side-stepping" the issue, "spell it out for us!" I don't want to make any assumptions :)

The mods don't seem so terrible to me, I wish they'd hand out a few MORE vacations to the obvious trolls. All I want is to be able to right-click My Forums and open it in a new window!

Hmmm. Well I have contributed 634 useless flamebait troll insult posts thus far and I haven't got a ban or mod quote so clearly something is amiss.

Hmmm..... I've only had one thread locked (a new .9999999 thread) after the original one was locked because of some moron. I appealed to the mods in forum issues and they unlocked the thread. Otherwise, I've had no run-ins with the mods.

But, when the maturity level breaks down to that of 12-14 year olds and the name calling begins, I think the vacations should be handed out to all the parties participating. I can't say that I've witnessed only 1 of 2 deserving parties getting a vacation, but that's because I don't sit here and read post after post when members are just flaming each other. (except when real ownage is taking place ;) )

The thing I'm most annoyed with is the influx of teeny-boppers with the most pathetic, lame threads ever. It's not a matter of "well, then, just don't read them" because with some of the thread titles, you have no idea what you're about to read. Seriously, when the title is "A drunk girl just stumbled into my apartment and is now naked in the shower", but the actual topic is "omg, I don't know what to do, I'm such a pathetic loser who's never had a girlfriend before" And, to top it off, after reading 2 or 3 of the posts it becomes evident that the REAL topic is "I'm 15 years old and a loser with nothing exciting happening in my life, so I'm making stuff up." - wasted time, no entertainment value.

I'd also like to add the recent forum "downgrade" as someone else called it. Fusetalk is a steaming wet pile of rotting dog poop.

Pardon me if I am half blind. Doesn't this forum say Off Topic?

I know that F5 checks/sends e-mail in Outlook, that's about the extent of my knowledge concerning F keys.

What venison of Outlook are you using RossMAN, as "Send & Receive" in Outlook 2003 is F9? :confused:

Mods who play favorites...Case in point banning Mill when he was being real and letting someone bash gays in the same thread not get repremanded until there was much outrage.

Mods who ban people simply because they don't like them or their way of life

The Jrun errors are a constant source of amusement but occur way too frequently

It's what I use at work. Outlook XP I think.

At home I use PINE and Webmail.

Why are there so many complaints against the Mods? Granted, they are not perfect and I'm sure they make some mistakes. However, they are volunteers and they are just doing what the feel is best. I don't think complaints are necessarily wrong, if carried out constructively. I think it would be more appropriate to PM the Mod. And furthermore, we don't pay for this forum...it comes out of Anandtech's pocket, so we have to abide by their standards. I think Anand is doing us a favor....I'm sure he's given "life" to some dweebs here on the forums (because they don't have a life, except on this forum).

I used to pay to surf here, and was very happy to. Anand decided to do away with that. The big thing with the mods is that they are very selective in how they enforce the "rules". I am not saying that the mods suck. Most are very fair and do the sensible thing. But there are exceptions. I know they are human and overreact sometimes, but there is no appeal process. The mod's decision is final. This sucks when a mod has a personal vendeta against you.

Again, in general I love ATOT. But the recent change in mod attitude has ran off several valuable members from here. I dont want to see any more people leave just because one of the mods got drunk/had a bad day/just felt like being an ass and banned them for no good reason.

Uh oh, you've got me noticing them more and more now...I also severely dislike posers who offer advice on things they really don't know much about, other than what they can google...since half the time they're wrong or partially so, and won't admit it.
