I'm putting a huuuge Jeeze Louise stamp on this one.
Seriously people, look at other boards - ANY other board, forum or whatever and you will see here that this place is a 9,999999 out of a perfect 10 when it comes to politeness, seriousness and people being adult about things, stepping up to the plate and admitting they were wrong.
People will be people and go about things their way, I actually never caught on to stuff that had happened internally basically because I am to Young a member.
I do however feel I had to say something since I am partially to blame about the whole religion post, I think it was me that first mentioned it at all in the first place.
So I am sorry to everybody that it ever came up, but some good did come out of it, we now have clear guidelines about it (Tho shalt not speak of OT religion etc), which is good!
I also have to mention that I had no personal beef against GS, she was an upstanding girl and treated me fairly - I saw she was quick to nip things in the buds, but I figured that was just her way of moderating and took that into account when doing stuff. Personally I liked her as a mod, but then again I haven't been here for that long, so I feel like even though I am part of the community I have little or no say towards this.
My point (I think I had one at some point...) is simply that we need a moderator, we really do, if not to just remove the spam and keep things civil. Even with self policing things get out of hand because well we're human (except for 5th, I'm pretty sure he is an alien of some kind - his work is just to darn good
)
To the people that chose to leave - (and this is going to be immature) Sux to be you! - you will never find a place as amazing as joedios ever again. If I had such strong opinions about something that I loved I would rather take a break and come back instead of leaving it immediately once there was something that looked like a problem, these things do sort themselves out (as I feel this has, since everybody that wanted to have had their say, and things have been cleared up, apologies have been made where they should and generally everything has been checked, re-checked and made certain of).
Can we get back to posting cool shots of our action figures now please? I need my daily dose of visceral action shots! (I'm a visceral junkie).
