    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. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Mods who are SOOOOO smart they don't even have to read the guidelines

Notwithstanding the issues with Ed as a moderator.

Why is he still here even as a member after making a threat to another member via private message? :shrug01:

I think we all know the answer to that one Scott.
 
Can I have the link to that please?
It sounds vaguely familiar, I could have been in a hurry or whatever but I would like to read it.

Scott, there was never any threat made. twist it how ever you want.

And yes boys will speak to one another differently in PRIVATE than they would in public. my profanity was in a PRIVATE MESSAGE and was not intended to be seen in public.


Okay, let's interprete the threat as a friendly invitation for tea.

That said do you think that the balance of that message is appropriate for a moderator to send to a member of this site using the site's messaging system?
 
Chuck, Just to clear this up for you. I never said that Jim or you hit my rep for giving out warnings. This is very easy to verify, I dont want the names of Wes's buddys that hit my rep to become public. is that something you can understand!

It would do a lot of good for you considering you made the accusation that I, like Jim, and like others have hit your karma and rubbed your nose in it.

You wont do it because you cant do it and because you are a liar and a sorry excuse for a moderator. I say that because you used your moderating responsibilities, and the accustaion of the suffering you claim to have endured over exercising the responsibility, to gain sympathy while telling a flat out lie.



NO IT WAS NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH HER POST. All you did was cry the friggin blues to Erin about Wes crossing the line so often and how his buddies you cant/wont name smack your karma around because you issue him warnings. You cried about how tough it is to do your job as a moderator while worrying about green dots dissapearing. Silly fairy stuff like that.

If you wont name names then you should offer an apology for what you cant provide proof for. I'll take my apology from you right now.
 
Scott, you dont have all the facts, that gentleman is a moderator from another site that followed me here to start something, thats all. :)

Are you saying that you didn't send that message?
 
Scott Ashton said:


Thank you Scott. Yes I can see him using profanity but there is nothing against that in a PM and although he said "discuss this face to face" emphasizing on the "discuss" technically not a threat but with the context with which it was said and the whole scheme of the PM I most certainly would and do perceive it that way. Veiled as it was.
Technically he covered his butt with the word "discuss" but it appears to me he :shootfoot

I know I am walking on that thin line of mod talking to mod on public forums but I have also not dinged you so I am in essence talking to you as person to person.
It makes no difference if you think that person "followed" you or not. Many people subscribe to many different sites and can put their words in anywhere they want. It is what you yourself do with the info that affects you and what people think of you. Again, I think you are :shootfoot many times over lately.
 
So Ed - it was okay for you to send that message because this guy is a mod at another site who you felt was starting something with you?

Sorry - but as Rozann indicated - that is no justification for your actions.

As a moderator you represent this site - you are always a moderator. You cannot pick and chose when to be a moderator and when not to. When you started moderating you made a choice to use the power that came with your upgraded membership. It wasn't mandatory. But once you made that choice you put yourself in a position that requires you be held to a higher standard.

The fact that this was a private message is irrelevant. As a moderator you should not have engaged a member of this site in that fashion.

So are you saying that I hit your karma for giving Wes warning points? Easy question, easy answer.

Hey Eddie, don't get yourself in anymore hot water then you've already gotten yourself into with further insinuations that I have an inability to understand the simplest form of ignorant writings and ramblings from a really simple person like you. I understood what you wrote perfectly. It states clearly that not only are you a liar but you are also a coward. Indeed you did not name me or Jim specifically, but in your dumb blanket statement that covered all of Wes's buddies, you failed to exclude us.

But your chance to apologize has come and gone. Its game on fella. I'm now going to do exactly what you cried to Erin about. Now you'll have a reason to pout about green dots.

Oh...Eddie says "thats all"....no big deal. Push me shove you...thats all it was.

Why did you even need to reply to him at all Ed? Don't you have an ignore list in your user cp? Uh Duh. I'll bet you missed that sweet little function while you were wrapped up and worried about losing your little green karma dots.
 
I too have had multiple notifications. I believe my inbox showed 3 messages, but when I clicked I only had one.

Are you feeling guilty Sammy? ;)

Tell us you're not wearing your best skirt and high heeled shoes Eddie. Because Shrap didn't ask for a dance with you, he asked for a very simple answer to a very simple question. Its a simple yes or no and not about Shraps feelings.

Well post your proof LIAR. Show exactly what I said when I dinged your karma. It sure was not over giving Wes warning points. Go on and post it, Ed.

Let me give you a little bit of important information. I copy everything I write in karma text boxes to a text file on my PC. Showing exactly what I said in them just in case some LIAR, LIKE YOU, comes along and tries to put words in my mouth.

NOW POST YOUR SO CALLED PROOF LIAR. Cause I sure have the proof. You surely stepped in it this time. :rofl:
 
Sammy, you really must be feeling guilty about something? :yesnod:
