beleave? The mods, however many of you there were, haven't exercised ANY authority for the longest time, even when users were clearly violating the rules on an unignorable scale. You have the right ID, and it's clear that users have been banned and posts deleted, so I don't doubt that you have mod powers, but are you the same mod who originally used that ID? If not, what happened? I hate to sound trite, but the rules of this bbs exist to help everyone enjoy it, and you are tasked with enforcing them. We are asked to follow the rules for that reason, but as a mod your responsibilities go beyond that, you are supposed to make sure everyone else does too. I understand policing every post is pretty much impossible, and that if you followed the rules to the letter we'd all be banned, myself included. However, simply banning flooders and those who repeatedly use obscene language with no regard to the possible prescence of children isn't the best way to help this community. I would request that you TALK to us. Explain the rules we are expected to follow more clearly, guide those who are confused, et cetera. The rules as they stand are extremely vague, and it isn't always clear what is appropriate and what is not. Also, leaving a note after banning someone and deleting their posts will make them a much better example of what not to do for the rest of us. Communicating with the users you are charged with is not at all the same as exercising authority, and it would help us all feel more at ease.
EDIT: Okay, we've moved on to the next page. However, please do respond to this post. I will be back to check it in case you do.
