    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Inquiry Inquiry on Jerry Tresser "Knobtail- Lord of Flies"

He seems to have been doing fine without your business Mooing tricyle I'm sure he'll survive without you.. :yesnod:
Todd, I wouldn't worry about it. Everyone knows how things are here.. Just ignore it and they will disappear.
As long as you advertise on Kingsnake you will continue to sell..
The clique here gets upset when one of them gets called out especially the important guys and gals.
Kingsnakes mods delete an entry and don't make silly remarks yet others make silly remarks and then penalize you for responding..
I guess that's why that other site is running circles around them.
They'll continue to shoot themselves in the :shootfoot .. You know it's nearing when you have to keep asking for site sponsors and no one steps up lol..
 
net forums, moderators, bias and flame wars

net forums, moderators, bias and flame wars....

Hobbyists are so disgusted by it. In recent years, it has gotten very bad.
 
net forums
Like this one here you're choosing to use?

moderators

Who wouldn't have paid you a second glance if you hadn't violated the site rules and used the existing thread. I also reported you for the anonymous third party crap in your second post.


If you followed the rules, they wouldn't care. Really. Their opinion of you is based entirely on the stunts you have pulled here and your garbage combative attitude.

flame wars

Such as the one you started with this thread? You're a hypocrite or an imbecile if you think you've convinced anyone of anything (other than your own asshattery) with this thread.
 
See Todd,
I got an infraction lol for repeating what the moderators said. I was told I was antagonizing :IThankYou

Ken Harbart why do I need to contact your boss about how you and the other moderator moderate??
 
Thank you Fauna members for sending me your experiences with this guy.

Some of it I already knew from my experience with him. There was some new info that I did not have before that confirms why I will not do business with him. He definitely can be a hot head and in how he conducts himself especially in the communications category.

Oh, that was so constructive and positive - very nice.

I do believe you set the tone for this thread. And now you want to blame the moderators for calling YOU down on what YOU are calling others down for? I'm sorry, but your logic here completely escapes me.
 
Opinion is one thing, but trying to provoke negative responses on a situation is another.

And you starting this thread here is opinion or an attempt "to provoke negative responses on a situation"? My opinion it was childish and tit for tat. While being childish is not against the rules here, the tit for tat posting is. Be a man, stop blaming others for your mistake of breaking of the rules and move on. You are doing yourself more harm then good. (if I could use the smilies I would have added the shooting oneself in the foot here)

So, Joel... if you apparently despise this site and its staff so much, why do you keep coming back? Life would go on should you chose not to come here anymore, or at the rate you're going- should that choice be made for you in the future.

As for why you were warned, it was for your attack on the staff of this site. You were told that there were two avenues of recourse for calling the actions of moderators into question- you could either post it in the feedback forum or you could go directly to Rich with your concerns. I even went so far as to give the two of you a link to the feedback forum, and yet you continue on a course that's just not going to end well.
 
Kevin,

Oh, I note how you are in Jerry's neighborhood as well, Melbourne, FL - nice. Very, very nice. That doesn't appear to well, does it?
Gee Todd, there are over 500,000 people living in the Melvourne-Palm Bay-Titusville statistical area. Sorry to disappoint, but geographical proximity does not imply familiarity. Oh, and the name is Ken, not Kevin.

Once again... there is a feedback forum here on the site- I've even given you a link to it in a previous reply. You're not exactly helping yourself right now.
 
Awesome

Let's see, we can't question moderators even when they incite the crap on the BOI (even when they should be discouraging that) and anybody can post anything? Great. Awesome. Great reflection upon the site. I've always heard about the free-for-all BOI forums here and hobbyists disgust with them.

Somebody is getting cranky. Time for a nap perhaps.

After what you've started here? I guess the only thing left to ask is
"Would you like a tissue?"

Hey Ken Herbert will he receive warning points for posting off topic or does he get a pass for being in the non existent clique??
I just got hit with warning because I was bad and posted off topic and offended moderators by questioning them..:D
Thank you kingsnake for doing what you do... :thumbsup:
Yea I know well stay at Kingsnake. I do, but when I see people who claim to be unbiased but aren't I like to call them on it..
Yea suspend me ban me what ever floats your boat.
Ironic that I have never had a post deleted or an ad pulled there and they are supposed to be the big bad evil empire. I bet 90% of the people here use that site more than this one but I guess it would infuriate the clique if the admitted it.. :yesnod:
 
Wow....after reading all of this some would say discretion is the better form of valor.
I know Ken...[remember ken] and have a pretty high level of respect for Ken...no ass kissing just honest respect.
I don't know Jerry all that well
I know Todd .... and I generally like him...we have settled our long dispute and communicate very well .
Dand...I consider a very good friend and he may be brash at times but is as honest as all heck.

Todd starting a post about Jerry was a bit much...ya could have dragged up an old one about him.
they have settled the dispute so lets let sleeping fish sink

answer quick I'm getting low, lol

I have no opinion of you either way, outside of the behavior you've displayed in this thread. You've been told multiple times that if you want to discuss the moderation of this site, you can do so in the feedback forum. I even posted a link to the forum for you. I also referred you to the rules of the BOI so you could better understand how and why we operate this forum. Take a three day vacation to ponder it all. Hopefully a cooling off period will allow it to sink in.

Some people just don't know when to quit. :rolleyes:

All the best to you, Joel. As I said, I don't know why you have that chip on your shoulder, and it's really none of my concern. I wish you well, but your continued denigration of this site and its staff has gotten really old really fast. If kingsnake is what you like, then more power to you. Good bye, and good luck.
 
Same as the other one applies here... both the principles have come to an agreement, and Mr. Gearhart is currently unable to respond. There's no need to :deadhorse
 
To one and all,

Sorry that this got somewhat out of hand. Todd and I worked things out that mutually was beneficial. I may have over-reacted in some of my accusations. I apologize to Todd for that. Sometimes misunderstandings occur and until they are worked out appearances can be deceiving. In this case, Todd is a good guy. He may have been a bit overzeleous with some of the moderators, but I believe it was unintentional. I will also make a similar statement on the other thread. Lets close this up as there is no further benefit in causing any more hard feelings that have already been blown out of proportion.. JERRY
