Everybody needs to get with the program?

Are you you kidding me? It’s not enough you acknowledged that the same old players are playing their game and derailing the thread, but your response is to then shut down the discussion?

Again. For the same reason as last time. And the time before…

And you believe this will makes us feel heard?  
Or was the ‘we really mean it this time’ supposed to do it?

I want to know how many reports you had about that thread.  
5? 10? 15? More?  
l  
Regardless how many, (and don’t think we couldn’t figure it out if we wanted!), the overdue mod move, was to give Nate Nine Posts, the chance to ‘learn something’ rather than to chastise him. Because his delicate male ego was the concern over demanding long time female contributors of this board be treated with basic respect.

It’s the moderation that needs to get with the damn program.

Start with modding for hijacking instead of always shutting down our voices.

(Feel free to close this thread, I’m done.)

I’m hoping to see the program be got with. Because a lot of what happened in that last thread didn’t match what I hope the program was.
