Where are the moderators lately?

[Ross L. Lamoreaux]

I know that Mrs. Lawson is taking care of some issues and is on the road alot lately, but are there any other moderators looking over anything on this site? There are some serious wacked out posts, with personal insults, professional insults, and other just plain insults, seemingly without any moderation, since they continue to be a problem over the last several weeks. Just curious....

[Micah Trent]

Ross,
I think the economy has finally effected the forum here.;) No, I agree wholeheartedly. It is getting a wee bit nasty. And with some of the lastest posts, both members of this forum and the AC should be embarrassed.

["Doc" Nelson]

No, I'm here. However, I only have control (for lack of a better term) over the Medical & Relief Societies conference. Like yourself, I can only notify the moderators responsible for other conferences. Have you, or anyone else for that matter, hit the alert button?

[Spinster]

Amazingly enough --nobody has hit the alert button, as I do get the notices from such.

No, yall fellers are determining the quality of your playground by tolerating such conversation around your dinner table.

Folks get tired. Even ones who are Daddy sitting with an iPhone for entertainment.

[5strings]

I only have control over the Musicians Forum. I am not sure where Tom has been as he has control over most of the board. I too have received no alerts by email as to anyone's conduct or nasty posts.

[Micah Trent]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that the upper section of the board discussing the events and recruiting really is not moderated as such???

Just referring from a previous past experience.:|

You are right Micah, that section is moderated by the Provost only. I think that is going to change but as of right now it's still only the Provost's call.

[Ross L. Lamoreaux]

I have repeatedly hit the alert notice. 5 times in the last week with no reply on any of them. In the past I've received some communication within a day but nothing on these. It just seems that regardless of alerts, things are getting well out of hand on several threads.

Hitting the alert notice should send the alert to all Moderators. I feel we may have a software problem as the alerts are not going through. Thanks Ross for the information. I will inform the Provost and see what we can do to help this situation.

["Doc" Nelson]

Interesting??? The last "alert" I received was on August 25th (still have the notification). No, not about this thread, another.

Maybe you're right 5strings, its possibly a software issue.

[FloridaConfederate]

Ross hittin the Alerts yet no alerts of record w/ the mods ?

What thread you alert'n there on RL ?

I clicked on the alert button on the 25th to request a corretion in one of my threads. A typo of my own making that was not corrected as per my request. That is all I can add to the mystery

[Spinster]

I spent about an hour testing the alert system in the wee hours this morning.

Yep. Software is a bit too tightly wound. Lovely. Just Lovely.

My apologies and condolences to those who posess manners, taste, and breeding. This fix will take awhile.

Sigh. I WAS going riding today.

Blair, the alert I received on the 25th wasn't from you either ?????? Hmmm, I guess we'll have to get Provost to fix er up.

Maryland
The proximity of our army to the chief city of Maryland has increased the vigilance of Lincoln's myrmidons. In Baltimore there is redoubled activity in domiciliary visits and orders designed to mark all disloyal citizens, or all who will not take the oath, are multiplied. One order prohibits all persons not in the service from keeping arms in their houses, and Gen. E. B. Tyler, aided by the Provost Marshal and Chief of Police, is directed to search the houses of suspected citizens to seize arms that may be found. Another order commands all loyal citizens to hoist the national flag on the 4th of July. Another closes all places of business save newspaper offices, ice cream saloons, soda fountains, and fruit stands. It also excepts barbers' shops, with the condition that the keepers of them are loyal. These barbers must be terrible fellows. Their shops are club-rooms. Gen. Schenck is not going to allow brushes to foment the public feeling, nor cut-throat razors to hatch treason.
The alarm and apprehension of the enemy is plainly exhibited in these measures. They fear the Marylanders. The sympathizers with the rebels must be kept down — they must be disarmed. Their fears are well grounded.--If Gen. Lee defeats their main Army Maryland will recruit his ranks to the full extent of his lessees in the great battle in which he will gain his victory.

Yeah, that'll probably get the thread locked down, possibly deleted, and you probably banned. But hey, to each his own. No button clicking from me. Freedom of speech and all. No rules. Just right. :D

Geez... I haven't thought of those guys in ages! That's the same group that used to be in Arlington VA, .... over twenty years ago. I lived in a apartment bulding just around the corner from their headquarters on North Franklin.

Actually, they were good neighbors. They picked up trash off the street and did the whole neighborhood watch thing. No crime in that area that I recall and it was an older, kind of rundown neighborhood too. Didn't realize they had moved to Milwaukee and now consider themselves a religion.

This is my ALERT BUTTON. http://www.cwreenactors.com/forum/images/buttons/report.gif
There are many like it, but this one is MINE.
My ALERT BUTTON is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.

My ALERT BUTTON without me is useless. Without my ALERT BUTTON, I am useless.
I must click my ALERT BUTTON true.

I must mouse click faster than my enemy who is trying to mouse click faster than me.

I must click him before he clicks me. I will...

Before God I swear this creed.

My ALERT BUTTON and myself are the defenders of this forum.

We are the masters of our enemy.

We are the saviors of my life.

So be it, until there is no CWREENACTORS FORUM, but PEACE.

Ross, I have been out of the loop for a while for various reason. Send me links to the threads and I will lock them down until I can get them cleaned up. Like the Provost, I can moderate all forums since the upgrade in the software.

Tom, What ever this is worth....."glad you're back...... too many d**kh**ds....too litttle time"......Clean it up and then award a cardboard cookie and some warm hosewater to the winner !! Thanks in advance once again, for all y'all do to move our sludge down an decreasingly smaller scupper...... just a thought, JW
