Currently, it does not bother me much. If it gets worse, I'd have no problem having one. Pretty much whatever you guys think.

KarolBeckFan said:I think for the time being, we need to push for evanzo being banned from our forum (is this possible) or just banned from the board. I normally don't like the idea of moderators but I think at times it's a necessary evil. If this keeps up, we should push for one. Right now, I just don't know. I can put up with one idiot troll for now. But, I have very little patience.
Might be time to make use of the super-secret member's-only help forum!savestheday91 said:Okay I have no clue if it's possible, and if Deb were online I would ask her, but she's not.![]()
You can have someone banned from your fan forum. Just report it to Neely or Jazz_Girl first or just go straight to Amanda or gravity. Just state what's been going on and the whole banning on forum trolls should be handled quickly.savestheday91 said:Okay I have no clue if it's possible, and if Deb were online I would ask her, but she's not.![]()

I have never had to ban anyone from the Gaudio forum, though I have had to make some clear points, which people got the message soon enough.
In GM, well it's a free for all, but fan forums should be peaceful places.
I mean come on I have to deal with a player that has one major fanbase that can't handle him breathing.savestheday91 said:Awesome. Thanks for the knowledge GWH![]()

Just make sure if a Forum Mod is elected, trying to get the balance between North Korea and fairness isn't easy.
Not a problem, it's just some people believe in hype too much, though the other problem is that some fans really help to make a player to be disliked even more.savestheday91 said:lol, That is true.
Hopefully things with Murray never get THAT bad.

Good luck with this anyway and I will nominate yourself for the job.
Sorry my dear... I was out. But GWH answered what I would have said. we have some people who have been banned from the Andy forum and just the Andy forum. and it sounds like this person here is causing enough trouble so that he deserves it.savestheday91 said:Okay I have no clue if it's possible, and if Deb were online I would ask her, but she's not.![]()

I'm sorry, but I giggle a little at the thought that you guys have a worse trolling problem than Andy's forum :lol:. Ok, digression over.
But I know that we were concerned with the potential for more problems, which is why we decided on a mod. So we did it sort of preventatively, and as far as anyone's told me it has worked and we've barely had a problem with trolling so that's good. So I mean I'd suggest having a poll or something - like I told you recently whenever that was, if you make it a public poll you can make sure that only the votes of forum regulars are counted and stuff. Then it's public and democratic and the majority of the forum's wishes can be honored. And if the forum votes in favor of a mod, you can also all decide on a nomination process and then some neutral person (like perhaps not even a forum regular or anyone in the running) could gather PMs of votes or something like that - or you could have another poll and make it private, etc. etc.
Except for some of us kooky folk who poke in here and say hi once in a while, you guys seem like a pretty tight group and stuff so I'm sure you guys will all come upon something that works![]()
Always!!savestheday91 said:Oh Deb, I can always count on you. :hug
