I am not moderated but have been a few times over things on the Florida Board. Finally DC stuck up for me and pushed the right buttons to set me free.

Let's take a look at who is or who isn't...If you have been here a while and became moderated after being unmoderated let us know.

After all we do play in the same play on the same playground

I'm unmoderated.  Have been since, I can't remember exactly when, I asked the former mod for unmoderation when it was offered.  All one had to do was request the moderator (Sly at the time) to unmoderate you and it was done.

I think I almost got moderated last year for a stupid post I put up, but a little chastising from Sly and all was good.

was almost kicked off the boards.... but learned some etiquette and try my best to not anger the ter gods.

For the most part, even when my posts are pulled or I am chastised - I deserve it.  After all, it is NOT my board, rather it is Ter's board, and they have a right to set the rules... much as I have a right to set the rules on my board....  And I DON'T have a board so that says something about me!  (Hummm.... maybe they should have a little board over there on the left in the list of groups that would say "Bizzaro's Corner" for my musings....   Jack0 and I could share it! Bwahahahaha!!! with BenDover and FuzzyPhallus!)

yea, we do play in the playground, but we don't own the playground.... It seems very fair to me!

And he has since given me a couple of thumps on the head for some violations of protocol, (i.e. using more than one alias in the same thread type stuff); but otherwise all has been fine.

I just never thought all that much about who is or isn't moderated to it was brought up in other posts. I know it will take time for the moderated ones to post but this also will help maybe get them unmoderated.

At least as little phil reads this post and all the unmoderated ones show up he can raise his magic wand and make a grand entrance

Well, while many were complaining about being moderated under the new staff, I simply followed the instructions they provided and contacted DC (when he was the mod). The instructions were to PM the mod of the board I frequented most often. I posted on the general board a lot, so I PMed DC. Within minutes, I was unmoderated. That was months ago. Thank you.

I've never gotten moderated for any of the stupid posts I've come up with, but I'm reasonable sure that I've come close on more than one occasion.

I'm moderated and don't think there is a particular reason for that, other than that I don't post very often and have never asked to be unmoderated.  Other than a couple of minor gaffes (e.g., an ISO request on a general board), I have always tried to behave like a good TER citizen.  Being moderated hasn't bothered me much since I'm not on here a lot and don't mind if my posts don't go up immediately.

I rarely post much but since my posts don't show up immediately I assume that would make me moderated!

I think the Mods do a great job and their support is priceless.

Maybe since I am semi new to the boards(only a couple months) how does one become unmoderated?

and how do you know if you are moderated?

When the new moderation policies went into effect earlier this year, I asked Fuzzy, then the NY mod, to unshackle me.  I was pretty certain he would comply, and I was correct.  His policy was to unmoderate everyone unless they proved to be troublemakers that needed to be punished.  Seems like a reasonable approach to me.

There are definitely advantages to being unmoderated.  By encouraging posting, sometimes what you have to say gets noticed by the ladies.  Have this happen a few times, it may (and for me, has) lead to PM's being exchanged.  That in turn may lead to meeting in person, which for me when it happened was a win/win.  It also proved to be helpful in getting an invite to an M&G in Vegas last year.

Yes, we all do indeed play on the same playground.  And all should be allowed to play, unless you prove you cannot get along with the other folks...

Back in December of 2008 my cousin SantaFollowmeClaus put up a post of the lyrics to the song "SantaFollowmeClaus is cumming to Town'
on 3 or 4 boards and one mod moderated me for a short time as he called it spam.
Not because of that but he is no longer a mod.


Thank you

I am not counting the time we were all moderated when the new admin/staff took over.

that wish otherwise. lol

I have been moderated briefly a time or two, but I know where the line is and do my best to stay on the right side of it.

You are not refering to ClasFollowmeClown.

As we all enjoy your posts and yes we agree you are just far enought right.


Thank you

... except you are a tad too left wing for me. (*grin*)

Your personna is well enough known to disqualify you as an "alias ass clown" lol Clown ocassionally, but alias ass clown, never. lol

That will be when the lefties consider me a righty, and the righties consider me a lefty, the white knights will consider me a misogynist and the true misogynists will consider me a suck up. lol

Until then I will continue posting as the opinionated asshole that I always been. lol

If, when you click the 'submit post' button, you get the 'your post is now active' text, then you are unmoderated.  Basically, it means that there is no lag between the time you submit a post and the time it appears on the board.  If you are moderated, it means the board Mod is reviewing the text of your posts before the become active.

You can become unmoderated by sending a PM to the moderator of the board you most frequently post on.  Usually, it is done through the moderator on your Regional Board (their name will be at the very top of the opening page, in the text).

After you have established your 'board personality' with several posts (varies some depending on the moderator), they may deem you either reliable and friendly or a trouble-maker.  I guess that is how they decide to grant 'un-moderated' status mostly.

Finally, once you are unmoderated on one board, you are unmoderated on all of them.  But, if you are too much of a pain in the ass, you can be moderated again.

But I think that was actually me, behind the scenes.  lol

Had 2 posts pulled but not because of what I said... some earlier threads had been pulled and everyone elses that was below it (which included mine)

and I was re-unmoderated after the 15 minute delay thing by RC

I'm grateful to both of them. It's a drag being moderated.

...you've been on the board longer than I have...unless you've been a bad girl & was put on moderation....

Every time she says "tootles" I just go nuts

Start chanting Unmoderate Molly ~ Unmoderate Molly.



Thank you

Sometimes I have to redact them so they fit within the number of character limits. LOL

Who occasionally asks a tough question or two for multiple reasons.

Hi Haley,

For writing a "shill" post!!!! It was a deserved penalty!!!! I've learned my lesson & will be out of the box @ the end of the month!!!!

i don't care much anyway because mu=y posts go up quickly.

And request to be unmoderated.  That is all it will take for you, I'm sure...

don't post often but love to read all of your posts.
