3) I have seen other posters being 'called' on their prices for
articles for sell. (one recently was the Cinnamon Fury B/j cue).

Since I'm the guilty party here, I'll address this.

a) I called him out in the Main Forum and did NOT say anything where he actually listed it for sale in the proper place, in the Wanted/For Sale Forum.
b) He had previously been disparaging to another seller about selling the same cue for too much, less than his though, and said that even a lightly used cue was a bad deal.
c) He is the one who listed what he paid for the cue the day before, touting the "great deal" he got, then LIED about it the next day. Or, he lied the first day. Either way, all I did was called out a liar on his lie, not an honest seller just out to make a buck.

Tough job, but somebody's got to do it.
Thank You for doing it!!

How about an automatic ban once someone
exceeds a fixed limit of off-topic posts?

Hey FastMikie,

Isn't that a Classic Aircraft Waco F-5 with a 245hp Jacobs R-755 engine? You got the dual magneto or the mag/distributor ignition sys.....um oh shit that's 1 off topic...damn...I'm on my way out.

I know ...

that won't probably 'cure' things, I was just trying
to appeal to everyone's conciousness what they already
know in their hearts.

It's kind of like when there is a ruckus in a Pool room,
and someone gets banned, sometimes even someone
trying to settle things down gets caught up, and may
even get banned themselves (this happened to a good
Pool buddy of mine).

People sometimes forget that there are consequences for
their actions, and how they go about conducting their actions.

Would you buy a guy a beer who didn't buy a pool table from you?

.....for sure.

Mike-

As I have said many times, this is your forum and you have the right to do as you wish. It is unfortunate that this has happened and that you have to play non stop baby sitter to this forum. It IS a full time job babysitting this forum for Mike and I don't envy him any.

I know in the past month I have said several things that I usually would not have, and I know that the people that know me understand that I am just past my tolerance limit with one particular person on this forum. So, to all that don't know me, I apologize and to those that do, thank you for our support.

I don't know what DM said because I am out of town. But I am sure that he prodded Mike for the last time. I liked DM very much and hate to see him go.

I am also glad to see that he banned Shorty for a week, If it were up to me he would be gone with DM because he has a way of egging on people and then either editing or pulling his thread.. Shorty, that's not going to happen anymore, because I will make it my duty to make sure that Mike sees how YOU instigate and then erase..

For those that don't know Mike on a personal level. He is one of the nicest most understanding people that I know. He wants only to make this a great place for people to visit and contribute. He is one of my good friends and has a heart of gold.

Anyway Mike Good job, keep up the good work!

There were times that I reviewed thread and noticed the content changed. I thought I was really getting fried being in front of the keyboard all day. All the posts were generally with Shorty.
Thanks for clearing that up and restoring my memory - LOL

You know, there are sometimes things that happen that are not announced as they are being worked on. I am currently in the market for at least one moderator to help out around here.

Mike

there are plenty of posters on this site that would be more than happy to help mike moderate the forum. but all mike has to say is he hasnt got the time to check every post!

 

[blud]

go for it

Good job, Mike. Keep up the great work.
BTW, got another cue in the works for you. just no time to get it finished.

On another note,Janice is holding her own. Gained about 3 lbs in the last two weeks. Good for her.
god bless all.

I've never met you or owned one of your cues, but I'll share a quick story with you. The guy I bought my table from (he bought a new gold crown IV and sold me his old table) has enough money to shoot with whatever kind of cue he wants and shoots with an older bludworth. It's a very nice cue.

 

[azhousepro]

Chucklez65 was a moderator but he doesn't spend as much time on the forums as he used to. I am really looking for 2-3 moderators that are more hands-on.

Lamar, updating the brackets to a new system is on the list. But it is below updating the player payouts and getting some more items up for the auction. (Now that I finally got all the won items out)

Mike

Mike, thanks for the info & keep up the good work.
Thanks, Lamar

It has been requested that I make a note for all to see when a user is banned so that there is no confusion.

I think your site is great, however I believe the situation is between you and the banned user(s).

 

[azhousepro]

I am getting PMs from volunteers now and hope to have something done by the first of next week.

Mike

that sounds good mike!

what kind of time frame are you looking at to get this in place?
just curious because it doesnt seem like something that would take too much time to get accomplished.
and maybe some of the recent trouble could have been avoided if someone would have already been in place!

 

[Tommy-D]

> I say to hell with all the arguing in here,period. I have only offended people in here ONCE that I know of,and apologized profusely for it here and over at CCB,where the same thread was posted by me. I will not intentionally flame or argue with anyone here,or bust their balls about simply disagreeing with me,everyone has the right to express themselves. I will also not allow myself to get sucked into all the negative mess that some people seem to WANT to stir up. Tommy D.

Mike

a modrator that is intrusive, irrational, immature , neurotic ,control freak ,dictator either..
We need some one that is well balanced and fair minded person.Some times these modrators with any one of the above described behaviors can be more insulting to the posters than the posters they are supposed to watch.

V-bond,
Damn, I guess that rules me out. And I thought it would be fun. Oh well, I could always go into politics.

 

[Cornerman]

that sounds good mike!

Jeff, I don't know why you have a picture of Timberly in your avatar, but you're making me feel very uneasy. To have your name next to her very beautiful face... I'm feeling unclean.
