Widder, SASS #59054 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 1 hour ago, Tequila Tony said: It is not unusual for a forum moderator (either here.. or on other non-SASS related forums) to rule with a heavy hand. The power goes to their heads. I, for one, think the MODS do a very good job, especially considering the guidelines they have been given ..... what to do, what not to do, etc..... No doubt, they earn their pay..... They allow good hearted 'bantering' among a few of us. They allow TN Williams and myself to tell outright lies about one another. But their hands are tied when it comes to any purchases any of us are involved in over the Wire, whether we are the seller or the buyer. No, I am not a Moderator, nor would I ever want to be one. There are a few post I would delete sometimes that they don't. Its a tough job and often a thankless job. I've been stung a couple times with locked thread or deleted post. I pushed the limit and got caught. It was that simple. Thanks Moderators. You'll probably get a 10% raise this year..... ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bill Burt Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 This wasn't intended as a criticism of the moderators, it was more general grousing about not being able to tell people to 'get off my lawn!' when I want to. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a pinned "Scammers" post on the Classified Wire where you can ad input. But, on true scammers only,. Thieves. Not disputes between members about shipping costs, claims about shipping damages, or whether a gun works properly. SASS is not getting in the middle of that. But, if you know of a true scammer, spammer, thief, others need to know. I know it gets lost among the other pinned posts. I'm exploring ways we could make that post "pop".

Eliphalet R. Moderator Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 If a Sales post, or PM raises questions in your mind, please report it. That flags it to investigate. We've had some legitimate members whose accounts have been hacked, and suddenly the posts are coming from overseas. Let us know, then we can let you know. We even had a for sale post from a deceased member! Help us with your input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
