Chuck isn't capable of moderating, but his dream was to have a lightly
moderated forum in which everybody got along with the occasional spat

moderating and doesn't work worth a damn because of three members in

there.

Secondarily, it was too easy to just drop down to the last fifty posts
which compacted the latest activity and became the defacto forum
without reference to the various thread categories. I could have told
Chuck that would happen too - been there, done that.

Thirdly (thirdly?), he shouldn't have even gone with an off topic
thread category - told him that too.

Chuck wanted it to go his way and it didn't. He's also stubborn
because this was evident two months ago shortly after he got it up and
running, but he kept hoping. Instead of banning people or barring
them for a day, three days, week, month, he deleted the posts and that
never works.

He had the resources if he only asked for some advice before he set it
up and gotten some advice from former moderators who have been through
the wars.

Chuck needs to be the last court of appeal for the actions of a
moderator or maybe two moderators who become the bad guys. That way he
can isolate himself from his group and act as a "El Supremo Grande"
when complaints come flying. He doesn't even have to be personally
involved - he can read through the posts and give instructions to the
moderators if there is something that he doens't like.

I gave Chuck an idea for a couple moderators. He didn't like it, I guess,
'cause he deleted the post.

Maybe because you and Reggie were the 2 you recommended.

I would have kept the post and deleted Herring, Reggie, Florida Jim,
BAR, Loogy, and Waitless, for starters. That would have rendered
unnecessary tonight's surgery.

Weren't you the one who encouraged the Dwarf Army to go over there and trash
the place because Chuck wouldn't punish a couple of us for activities here?
Chuck is to lenient. He should have blackballed the lot of you as soon as
you started acting up.

It may have been you, but someone suggested that Harry, JimmyH, and Donny be
the moderators.

I think that's a great idea, then we could just watch them jerk each other
off, since that's all that would be happening over there.

Actually, being the group jerk-off would be a good job for you. You seem
to do it a lot.

I forgot to include Donnie. But that'd be OK.
