You can always join "Alternative social media" ahem...  

why are you trying to derail the most eye opening and revealing thread these boards have ever known ? a thread that reveals the motives behind the underhanded and biased moderation that has been going on now for quite some time

Rare or more so if your name rhymes with “ boy “ I thought it was odd when 3 threads were locked which the same people were in ... but I should’ve known better - IT ALL makes perfect sense now .... as the great Sherlock stated 

“How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?“ 

and here we are ....

So if PMs can be viewed by any moderator , what exactly is “ private “ about them? And if the moderators are exposed now - do we get to see when THEY lock someone out now or is that private still to hide their leanings ?

because you are a private.  you have to be a minimum of  a corporal to be a moderator.

there is not a corporal message that a private can see. only other privates can see private messages.

what is wrong with you? did you not learn anything from gunny?

I mean, it's making a lot of sense from where I sit.  Also, what's with the perm italics?

And why again are you crying out over your self manufactured perceived injustices?

i got it 3 times in the last 10 minutes, or so, but only on this thread.

I was trying to send a PM and it happened.  I think the new boards might still be trying to upload segments or transition files from the old software so there are going to be more hiccups in areas that are more active. 

Maybe this will mean all the pictures will come back.  There are a bunch of people running sales threads that got kind of screwed by all of this.

Sooooo....conspiracy theory 101.

 

It has not been much of a secret that I was a "volunteer"  mod, I posted in purple when I was signed in my Mod ID long ago and everyone jumped on the error...and posted it and probably laughed about or cried.

The volunteer mods are just that, unpaid volunteers who were "volunteered".

I didn't even know who some of the people were.

It was a secret because Arch set it up that way.

I think I was the only screw up, everyone else was anonymous.

Volunteer mods have limited powers. To the best of my knowledge, we all have pretty much the same access and I know *I* cannot see a pm unless you report the PM by hitting the report button or copy it. I think I've seen 3 in 8 years.

Personally, I don't want to see your PMS, TMI. 

To the person who was worried that we could see the real prices of stuff, we cannot, nor would anyone want to as far as I know.

The Admins on the other hand, are paid people who most probably can see your PMs, I've never been an Admin so I can't bet the house on it, but I'd bet a comic. I know that Arch could if he wanted, I know that some other Admins could, but I'm not sure if it's everyone AND I don't think they ever look, but if you were planning on taking over the planet and wanted to plan it online and use this forum, it's probably not the best place to make those plans.

Admins do review things the volunteer mods take care of, maybe not every single itsy bitsy time, but they do look and they certainly look if someone complains. Hence some things have been modified.

I'm not saying it's been as vigilant since Covid, but it does happen.

I'm sorry the software is all messed up. I had nothing to do with it, but I'm still sorry.

yes, i think it is still building out and upgrading.

things like sales threads should have been considered, though, and maybe not a prime time thing, considering the weather today and probably a lot of member more active on days like this.

btw, stop trying to be first. be a sport. let kav catch up.
