Are there any photo moderators on here anymore?

[cmyaj]

Seriously, it's gotten out of hand.

dude...what's the problem....what's bugging you? this is a nice pre and post FaceBook site...that still exists...Actually THE FIRST DIO Site! Totally Tell Us What Is Wrong Here!

[ThinkTank]

If you think it's a poor quality photo, post constructive criticism. They may be new to photography. If you think a photo doesn't belong in a category, then let them know in a positive manner. If you just want to complain about a lack of staff on a free (to you) website, volunteer yourself.

[Nekoman]

After looking around, I'd have to say things looks pretty good here for the moment. :)

Though, for what it's worth I don't think the site is actively moderated right now.

[cmyaj]

Relax; I'm not looking to cause trouble. And I'm certainly not understanding where the tone of the comments above is coming from. I asked a question & made an observation, is all.

The photos in the ARAH, diorama & latest photo sections are awesome; I love them & I also love looking through the various member's folios & seeing the creativity on display. I'm talking about the Collections section; it's been turned into the Lanard/Look what I saw in the store section (looks like stuffed toys are making an appearance, as well); if anything else gets posted there, it quickly gets shoved down the pike.

My understanding was that this was a Joe site & that the bulk of the pictures posted were supposed to be Joe related, with a few from or featuring other lines acceptable. All I wanted to know was if there was still someone maintaining the site &, if so, is this the way that section of the site is going to be from here on; as I have more time, I'd considered posting some more of my collection photos, but there's no point if they'll just be shoved down the page beneath a slew of CORPS! pictures.

Sometimes, someone has to be "that guy" & say something. If saying something, though, is causing a problem, then I'll just go back to silently wondering.

[Nekoman]

Hey man, I see what you're talking about and it's certainly an issue. JD has no real moderation right now and that makes the board very vulnerable. I think everyone probably just looked at the photos section and got a little confused as to what you meant.

I'll be blunt and open: Battlewagon's facebook spam/random junk/selfies are annoying. The Collections section has been a garbage bin for awhile, but this is outright spam, which isn't good.

In any case, we need a mod here so things like this don't get out of hand. I'd willing to do the job if no one finds that objectionable.

Joe, I think I know why you say that, because we want to keep things open and friendly to new people. It's nice here right now.

The problem is though, what if something happens? What if someone posts porn on here? Or we get overrun by spam or spambots? What if a troll comes on who won't respect any of our rules?

Nate only signs on every now and then, other than that this is basically a town without cops. :eek:

Agreed. I want this to be a fun, relaxing place to come to & share in our love of the line. There has to be some moderators in place, though, for those situations that Nekoman mentioned. BW basically did what he's doing here on the FB site; when he was called out for spamming with Lanard store displays & selfies, his response was, basically, go tell the moderator (along with "haters gonna hate"; that gradeschool level of comeback is why I've not engaged him here); the problem there was that Nate wasn't really checking in on things, for whatever reason. It was only after BW was spammed back on his posts that he stopped (although, I eventually just blocked him altogether).

We don't need someone ruling here with an iron fist, but we do need some people to keep some semblance of order.

[battlewagon]

Lol I had no idea I was so popular here. DANG! Don't worry people Trump is gonna bring law and order soon. Believe me.

[ThinkTank]

This is why it's important to be specific and constructive. The original post comes off as derogatory and snarky, when the intention behind it was to improve the site. Specificity may have saved some sore feelings and defensiveness. Now that the true meaning of Christmas has been revealed, the dialogue has begun. I agree that posters need to exhibit self control, follow the 3 photos rule and "stay on target." This is not the place for stuffed animals, but I appreciate RELATED toy lines.

If you really want to volunteer, PM the Big Boss with your proposal.

I agree with this, too. The funny thing is, I read it to myself numerous times to make sure it didn't come off wrong. Oops...

No sore feelings on my part; I just want this site to continue to be what it was intended to be, which is to be the best Joe dio site on the 'net. I've enjoyed coming here for years to get my Joe fix & hope to continue to for many years.

[Scarrviper]

We need some mods. At this point he's becoming a troll. This is not a dumping ground for your non joe spam.

Look at this: http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=57499&c=10

Junk selfie that's almost totally irrelevant, that seemingly serves no purpose other than being obnoxious and attempting to troll. Keeps bringing up politics seemingly in hopes of aggravating/dragging someone into a flame war.

It's abundantly clear he doesn't care what we think or what the general opinion of this site is.

I'm guilty of putting up non joe toys but They are of my personal collection
and this stuff with battlwagon has gotten out of hand, I look at when this board was formed it was about the hobby, technology has changed,photography has advanced. But I am guilty of not always having a picture upload correctly l agree we need mods. Most every pic I see aside from battlewagon has followed the rules, and it's always fun to see reviews and collection pics, but the political talk, rudeness, and general conduct of battlewagon has me defending the integrity of this forum.

In light of comments like this I feel the need to regurgitate this discussion. This comment is not PG. There's no one to tell him to stop with any weight and just further reinforces the fact that we NEED a moderator.

Has Hammerfell been in contact with anyone? I've volunteered myself on multiple occasions and he won't get back to me. Talk to us Nate!

[cmyaj]

I saw that comment, too; unfortunate for anyone looking at the pix with their kids (the titles of some his posts are walking the line of being offensive, as well). He used to post WIPs that he was creating; they weren't really my cup of tea, but they weren't too bad & he seemed like he was OK; I don't know what happened to the guy. I've been on the 'net for a long time, but people who can't play nice with others still flummox me;it's not that hard to be cool & respectful to others & observe the rules of the site.

I've not heard anything from Nate. I saw that he was on recently, but no answer to my offer to help moderate. Are there any other mods - sub-mods, maybe?

[Mike T.]

I'm all for some moderation, even if it's just a break in case of emergency type of thing. Some good guys got run off of here last year. I don't know where the nonsense occurred, but things like should not happen. If there's at least a place where people can make it know stuff is going on, things like that may be less likely to occur.

[Scarrviper]

It's sad really.

Back when this site was in its prime and we had what felt like strong community here, none of his crap would have been tolerated. Clearly he has issues, beyond not understanding the purpose of this place.

[cmyaj]

http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=57646

Soooo...let me get this straight - he's boasting about how he's keeping the troublemakers out of his super-exclusive FB page, while coming over here & running roughshod & doing whatever he wants to do on this site.

Okay...

[samsallspark]

Battlewagon has ignored the rules completely.

1. Language both hostile and course

2. As stated earlier posting pics in collections that are 1. Not his 2. Posting pics from stores/sales/forums that has no place under collections.

3. Insighting a flame war. This behavior has got to stop. If he cannot abide by the site rules he needs to go, outrider would never have allowed it to go this far.

[QUOTE=gijoeiwasthere]I am on it.....whatever that is worth.....[/QUOTE]

I tried.......

[samsallspark]

The rules were posted and his response was pretty much that he has no intention of following this board/sites rules. I've reached out to the site owner and brought the matter directly to them. As I am tired of this disruptive behavior. Plus posting pics off of ebay auctions, selfies from a store, and posting a photos period of stuff he doesn't own in the collection section goes against the rules in their entirety. Political arguing, and sarcasm are the only comments he has made, he has spammed every post with his site instead of placing it under the space in the upload section for url for pic, the spamming alone would have been enough when outrider was alive, this board is for everyone to see and he is dragging down everyone by continued conduct unbecoming of a member here.

[selvaland]

Well, someone should erase his pics and just put him out of JD.
The nice way have been tried many times but did not work.

[selvaland]

One last thing about BW ugly behavior.
I cannot look to JD with my kids anymore because of his rude words and aweful selfies...
And that's truly a shame....
Can you read this father's statement and go on spoiling Joe Dios, BW?
Can you?

[gijoeiwasthere]

I think we're all good....Time to let by gones be by gones and welcome back mutual respect...
If I'm wrong then shame on me....
