I have moderated 4 people in my many years as a moderator at TER....I have unmoderated thousands.

Recently, STAFF has gotten involved in the Phoenix board.  As a result, he has become educated in some of the personalities involved in the hobby in Phoenix.  He has moderated several of the more vocal members for causing drama.

Ladies and gents....PLEASE keep the drama off of the boards.

If any of you have questions about why you are moderated, PM me.....

dingus

just curious

to being drop-dead gorgeous, an absolute killer in the rack:o, you are also so bright and articulate!!  I am particularly impressed with "censorial napalm!!!!"

For what it's worth, I agree with everything you say here, and I don't think you should be punished in any way, shape, or form for saying it.

I'd never experienced this until this morning, but after I posted as DetanieffaCrevo just now, I got this instead of the usual "thank you, your message has been set to active" note:

POST MESSAGE: PHOENIX
MESSAGE ADDED SUCCESSFULLY
Your message has been added to our database. The administrator of this board may take up to a day approve it.
Thank you for your support.

That's how you know!

as long as the person posting is not using an alias, i think they should feel safe posting a warning about a provider.

if they are willing to put their handle's reputation on the line then i dont see how that would be categorized as "starting trouble".

in a perfect world, there would be no ripoffs, and we wouldnt need websites like this.  

but if outing a provider's unethical business practices causes drama, who's fault is that ?

the person who outs them ?

I notice some posts are in red; others aren't. Does that indicate if you're moderated or not?

how long it's been up and, depending on your browser settings, whether you've read it or not.  There is an explanation of the colors on the site somewhere, but I think that the posts that are more than 24 hours old have a different color.  Being moderated has no bearing on the color.

Is this the place where you are supposed to post warnings?  I thought there was a seperate place to post for rip-off and things like that?  And who cares what name they post under.  Real name, fake name, alias or not, does it change the information?  

Ligit questions, seriously dont read more into them.  Im curious??
