    several points here:
    - this is not a boy's club. (but that mentality is probably why Betty is apparently the only female regular)
    - you or someone like you should not get to decide who belongs here
    - no, everyone did not get the nasty hazing when they first joined and it was not always like this.
    - giving sh!t and getting sh!t may a by-product of forum life, but that's more of a bug than a feature.

    Yep. Nice try. I've never decided who gets to belong here. You can take that accusation back to the barn, bud.

    Well, the market speaks. And it speaks here on The Forumme. You try to control it but it is futile. You will kill the free market economy, so to speak, with your Obama imitation.

    It's also pretty well established that certain posters get nailed to the wall by certain mods. Favorites & non-favorites. Long track record of that dark shadows activity.

    Thee problem with subjective enforcement, simod6666, is ....subjective enforcement. You want us all to toe your line. But that line keeps shifting. Ergo, impossibility.

    The political treads, for example.....they get kinda heated.....and then they cool out....are we supposed to meet your parameters for what we post on a tread like that or are we all supposed to be able to post what we think / believe? If someone hates Trump but you disagree with that, you gonna ban him for his post against Trump? You open up a disaster crate when you do this stuff.

    So, maybe you guys could focus your energies on doing a far better job on the FUcast....? Instead of worrying over certain people getting their buttockals out of joint?

    Like, the 5-days-out-always-clean-and-green thang is far past the old joke that it was a year ago. It's efftarded, unprofessional & an insult to the Swellies. You guys call yourselves a forecasting site. Butt you can't forecast anything, ever, worth a tinker's damn past one or two days. Just making an accurate observation, bunky.

    So, maybe you could put some juice on that improved FUcast instead of worrying what Keed Rocque or Carter or anyone is posting up or sweating the latest covert complaints from Hanna Bonannna and asstail honky and siggbutt and barrels for liam.

    Hey just a suggestion! Are we allowed to speak freely or do you ban for this, too?

    Says the guy who plugged his support for Hillary...as a moderator. I'm sure everyone can trust you for fair and equitable treatment, right?

    Right?

    exactly. thanks for making my point: one thing has nothing to do with the other.

    this is a pretty decent forecast site, and this forum is a great place where all things surf-related can come together, along with the people who love this life. the rest of this stuff - especially the political stuff - matters little here.

    Check the response rate / activity on those threads. They are some of the highest traffic threads this place has ever had, which means more money for SI, so careful what you wish for.

    So why did you vote in the Donald vs. Hillary thread? That's participation in something you say "matters little" and shows that you're a hypocrite. If you don't want to see that type of content on here then set the example as a mod and don't participate. Otherwise it's do as I say, not do as I do.

    And please stop saying you haven't changed any rules when it says right in the OP that there were tweaks made to them. Tweak = change. If no change was made, no tweak would have been mentioned.

    I'm just trying to help you out. If you want people to take you seriously and somewhat respect
    your "authority" you probably shouldn't contribute to things you don't want to see on here. It's called being a leader.

    Everyone's panties, so bunched up!

    What happened to Goldenbullcow?

    I wonder if he got scared off or banned. Look at all the chaos he caused! I bet he'd be real proud.

    So, your saying you have no other handle on this forum? That means in January of 2014 you came across this site, thought it was cool, and joined as a Mod right away? So you're either full of sh1t or you joined this site just to be a moderator. Do you surf or just moderate Internet forums?

    I don't think you recognize sarcasm. Next time, I'll type it in green font.

    A day or so and the dust shall settle and things will go back to normal. Don't be angry fellers, but I don't think this is a big deal. Some of the hazing does get pretty harsh and even though most of us find it funny, others do not. Unfortunately we are in a time where everyone's feeling are hurt 24/7!! So I will help, instead of telling someone's mother to suck your big black deek, say this: Excuse me sir, will you kindly ask your beautiful mother to slide her beautifully shaped God given lips over my night stick? See, that sounds polite!
