We are trying to keep it clean but also trying to make it better.

We have lost some good members due to member abuse on the forum, and I would
like to trying anything and everything to see if we can not get them back to
have some great discussions in the past

Far to often a good thread that could turn great ends up going south due to one
or two individuals hijacking the thread for personal agendas. It really makes me
angry when this happens.

You are correct in stating that the trolls and abusing users are my problem, and
thus my post. I am just trying to open some eyes and let people know what to
expect, and how to avoid being "moderated" :)

We not only spend time nailing trolls, we also spend time discussing how to make
this forum better by _removing_ the trolls.

Hopefully in the very near future the moderators and admins will have some
better tools to deal with absuing users.

This forum system is simply out dated and has very little security.

>Thank you [the mods] for your service!

No problem. I like the position, but it is more work than I imagined.

I truely appreciate all the work that mods before me have done.

It was clear to me.. crystal in fact :)
