Fellow "deletees"

Medigal, I'm fairly certain that you would have meant to say: dictating to those men and women, or not.  At least that's the way I took it.  I have no love lost for Mrs. P either.  Wish Boehner would not get so much tanning time tho.  Maybe it IS natural?

It will be an interesting couple of years to say the least.

Wouldn't it be great to have our reps actually take care of the nation's business instead of each other?

Hi Again All, 

I've read all of your ideas, and made a list to bring to our tech team. I appreciate having this discussion.

Thanks,

Melissa 

Did something happen to the "I say yes, you say no..." thread? Gee, looking for my tribe. I see familiar names here. Hi all.

Oh no, not the MelissaShed again. When will we ever learn?

Off to look for the "yes & no" thread.

I haven't read the whole thread so if this has already been suggested, please excuse me.

I was a moderator of a forum of this size.  We had 20 volunteer moderators and two administrators.  Melissa is an administrator.  Administrators can remove threads and ban members. 

On the forum I moderated, Moderators could delete individual posts and give warnings. Only administrators removed entire threads. Members could report posts but it took a moderator to delete on and it was never automated.  Each "report post" was reviewed by a volunteer moderator for conformity to the rules.

Perhaps Melissa will consider allowing a dozen or so senior members to act as moderators.  It sure would lessen her work load.  Just a thought.

Hi Melissa:

There are friends that I met a few years ago here that left BCO, never to return.  They did so because they were harassed (had posts repeatedly deleted by a few who disagreed with them) and a couple were eventually stalked at their jobs by these same people.   They asked you then to do something about these posters who were abusing this site, and suggested that one way to solve the problem was to actually show the names of the "report this post" button pushers.

The posts on this thread have suggested the same thing.  Some of us are wondering if anything will be done about it this time?  I think we're all looking for concrete answers.

With respect,

Linda

I'm 58 and no one has called me immature in so long. Thank you!

Maybe I'll get carded at the wine store next.

If I were a TV producer, I would sign up you guys for a reality show. You are so much fun.

What would you name yourselves? I think "The Deletees" has a catchy ring.

Okay, now I'm laughing. Might be worth it to fly over and get carded. Make me feel like a teenager again.

Going to bed now. Really. This time I mean it. It's late here.

Geez .. Laura, a little humor isn't a bad thing. Heaven knows we could all use more laughs in our lives.

hugs,

Bren

Eh?

Why are they called 'reality' shows when they have very little reality in them?  Oh well.  It doesn't matter.  I still love watching them.  Some of them.
