The important thing is that you [the mods] *deal* with them and not me >(an ordinary participant)! In this respect I believe that you [the mods] are >doing a fabulous job at keeping this place clean. Thank you! 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. >As for the trolls ... well, they are your "problem" and I expect you to deal >with them without me having to know that they even existed. 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" :) >So, please, don't >feel that you have to explain yourself to the trolls .. they will be back to >their trolling business very soon.

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. >The points that you make are just fine, as afar as I'm concerned! (Just in case >I wasn't clear about that.) It was clear to me.. crystal in fact :) Peter
