I do believe that that is why we have "In The Shade". So we can fight cus and post what ever. I thought the shade was made and PW protected so it can be a place where we can open up and cus and bitch and do what ever without offending children or parents. If you are going into the shade take the damn kid off your lap or don't go in! Geesh, is that so hard to understand? Now it is being policed and everything deleted just like any other area on this forum. Why even have it?

I have to agree.Some Mods have taken it upon themselves to hold us all to their standard.I think the powers that be should really re think who they have chosen for this job.There seems to be a huge upswing in editing & deleting posts!
OK, I thought I had this settled with David, but I guess not. I deleted his post with the nude woman in it for two reasons. First it violated rule # 3A of the forum rules. This rule was made after some member started posting links to porn sites. Is this what everyone wants? I also saw NO reverlance to anything to do with roof cleaning and saw NO useful purpose for the post.
Everyone knows as well as I do, things get out of hand real quickly on here. Allow this kind of post and tomorrow you have porn pictures or movies posted, or links to the same. You know its the truth!
And there has NOT been a big upswing of deleting posts. Got some examples you care to share? And what "powers to be" are you talking about? There is NO powers to be, other than Chris.
Let it run wild and crazy and see where the membership goes.
Oh K! Porno.. that is another ball game.. did not see that and would not have expected that. Dirty jokes and such are one thing but guys if porno is your thing share via email or keep it private. I am not against it just there has to be limits and I know you guys don't want me posting naked dudes in the shade?? Right? Kim R
It was not friggen Porno!! My God! It was a side view of a naked women in front of a bathtub. There was a window on the far left that barely showed a tile roof top. It was an email I forwarded to Brett. He responded by asking if I cleaned the roof. (jokingly). I thought it was funny with such a hot women that he would still notice the roof. Typical Roof cleaner.
So what I posted was : "Are you a professional roof cleaner? Then the picture and then I had you scroll down. Then I asked if you noticed if the roof was clean or not. It was supposed to be funny. But I guess Gary has no sense of humor anymore. Or maybe we are supposed to post what only Gary sees as funny. I posted it in the Shade. Where things are to be more relaxed and off limits to children. It is really sad that a side view of a beautiful women is considered Porno. How up tight are you?
Gary, Why would you think it was settled? We were still writing back and forth trying to explain our positions. Look at the time when I first posted this.
There is such a thing as control and then there is the Gestapo!

most forums inevitably break down to basic human nature, much like 'Lord of the Flies'. LOL now everyone go do their homework!
But on a serious note, Garys right even if you don't see it now. I've moderated a very rowdy board once and know things can get out of control sooooo fast that it destroys the one thing everyone once had in common. We should be able to have fun and let loose to a certain degree. After all we are here as perfessionals first most. I use to bounce bars occasionally and theres a line where you let everyone enjoy themselves and a point you put the brakes on. Moderating is tough, it can be touchy but better to err on the side of caution.
Kinda like the holiday office party when some start to go too far and everyone else joins in.
Monday mornin is a scary site, esp when some get called up to the big bosses office and next thing you know, two security guys are standing over you as you clean out your desk.

OK, I,m done with this stupid BS. If you think this is OK and everybody agrees with you, where is your support? One person, who has since changed their mind? If you re-read, I never said that pic was porno. I simply stated that that kind of post leads to porno, movies, etc.
And you don't have to "run " anything by me for approval, as your post states "in the shade". Try running it past Chris. If he agrees, then "so be it". Its his forum, and rules.l I just TRY and enforce them. (for what its worth).
I'll just go back to paying the bills and let this run on "auto-pilot". (as the pilot announces over the intercom,, Please prepare for a CRASH LANDING. we have been taken over by unknown forces who have NO direction in mind. "please kiss your azz"s good-bye" KA-BOOM

What you said made Kim think I posted Porn. You didn't go out of your way to correct her. Any ways I thought The Shade was free of moderating. Guess I was wrong. Now I know. Case dropped

As I stated in my last PM, I have made several posts on here about "reading comprehension, or the lack of it" while reading posts. I have NO control over how another person reacts to what they read. I'm really glad this "case???" is closed. Now if Mr. RAC would just go away, things could be peaceful again, til the next time
Gary (Pilot has resumed control, coming out of the tailspin, hold on!!!)
Okay, I misread and that is my fault to busy working on RAC.. my bad.. and I apologize to you both. :) BTW do we have a truce confirmed from Chis yet? Kim R
that RAC guy is crazier that clyde.LOL He is not going to compromise i beleive it is a lost cause and we should just ban him Chris needs to do whats right for us not him we are the paying members that keep this place up and running.
