Open letter to Uber

[broken robot]

For people who are so polarizing I'm kind of surprised by the don't knows

I don't see much point in banning articulate posters who can think and who come up with valid ideas and replacing them with a purveyor of invalid partisan idiocy delivered in bold colorful lettering

Been very busy with work but not much is likely to change for the near future. Both posters have shown an unwillingness to abide by the forum rules time and time again. There's absolutely no point in having rules here if they are being followed nor enforced.

Lets remember what happened the last time we stopped enforcing the rules, which is what happened on PP. Lots of people left. I received a TON of hate messages about how the "boys club" was ruining the site and more than 75% of the active posters on PP left before we ended up closing shop.

Thats not something I'm looking to repeat.

Philly and Saz have been given multiple opportunities and they keep causing problems. Its more work for us as well to have to put them on moderator post approval but until they can show they can be active members of the board and not just troll/insult people, its where they are staying.

seems to me that any "boy's club" that exists on the forum consists of members that routinely try to get others banned not the ones getting banned

what happened to PP was terrible moderation, not lack of rule enforcement, that didn't happen until the forum revolted against the terrible decisions made by some mods and it became too difficult to moderate

if you try an make this forum a venue for partisan bickering you will probably gain of alot of traffic, but it will be low quality like the wave of horrible posting being moderated currently

good luck with that
