You would be fully correct Mobes, I did miss that part. To quote Walter Sobchack "you're like a small child who wanders into the conversation with no frame of reference!"

For every pissing match that goes on here and people flip out, the volume of bickering and petty complaints the forum mods get in private EMs would blow your mind. If we could just show y'all one day's worth of complaints about bullcrap and truly heartfelt gobs of butthurt, it could possibly ruin your faith in mankind.

But yeah you're right, I didn't read all 11? pages. I just wanted to alleviate some perceived, on my part, Public/Admin strain. Almost none of us can alter the Forum. That was all.

It's got to be a terrible job, no doubt, and thankless to boot. But to be fair, the mods only feed those flames by deleting posts in the inconsistent manner that they do.

By giving in to the whiny vag of the world it only encourages that vag to whine more, which it does.

By not holding all members to the same standards it says there is favoritism.

I don't know if that's true, but a consistent application of policy would fix all of this.

As for the topic at hand:

The world is shades of many colors, those who only can only see one are truly blind.

A very applicable point to the conversation.

I haven't noticed favoritism in the deleting of posts.

I would prefer if no posts were deleted ever, no matter how offensive.

But this is a privately owned website, and the owners can run it however they want. In this case, giving moderators the power to delete.

If we don't like it, we are free to spend our time on any number of other climbing websites. Except rc.com, that place has sucked for years

wow. you go climbing for a few days and all hell breaks loose.

Lemme guess, someone posted something that made La Vagita cry, Third Reich Admin directive 'had' to step in to pacify the Vag butthurtedness, then like 20 posts disappeared?

you are correct sir, twice over the weekend the thread mysteriously ended up on page 3.

now can someone tell me the best shoes to buy? who is the best resoler? we need more threads like this.
