I would appreciate an answer to these questions as well.Ella Jean I have a question. Who are you and when did you become a mod? I've been around here for years and don't think I've ever seen or heard of you. I also haven't seen or heard from all the other mods we do know in quite some time.
What gives? Was the forum sold sometime in the last two years? And who is that other person MaryJaney that posted a recent "attention all users" thread giving rules like a mod I don't know this person either. And you both are seeminly relative newbies, that too is really really odd.
In fact many if not most of the old regulars who weren't mods, old heavy daily posters, and pretty much all the senior growers now that I think about it seem to be completely missing... Gone. Maybe I already missed a mass exodus. Traffic seems way down from what it used to be as well.
Strange stuff. Please explain if you want to have any forum left or if this should or has already become officially a newbie only site. Maybe you could have some of the moderators we actualy know chime in who aren't newbies.
I will however give props for finally deciding to do something about hate speech though, abut time, that is if you plan to kick threads that are aimed at genocide and trolling and created by bible thumping klan members.
I find it incomprehensible that someone would delete a puppy picture, and yet still allow the most prolific and self admitted troll on RIU to operate uncensored, heck, he's even in this thread.
For cleaning up the forum you should seriously consider using a scalpel and not a shotgun.
