Re: Dear Mods/Admins

As for the poll, Tosa: "Should you close the group or leave it open"- If you were going to poll, just ask the moderators. The rest of us don't spend our free time moderating the forums, so it's not our place to say how this forum gets moderated. And that's if you take a poll. I'm sure the green gods have already weighed in on the matter, and in the end the decision is yours.
As for the overall drama, I don't see where it comes from. The .org is not our house, it belongs to someone else and they make the rules. There's no free speech here. However, this is a place where you can apparently post accusatory things, even insulting things, toward the mods and even the Admin, and not get tossed out in the cold forever immediately. I think that's amazing, and shows the tolerance involved on the part of these apparent "Hitler" wannabes (also lol'ed). The amount of freedom given here is also amazing, and the fact that there are warning points, and temporary bans, show you that these people are willing to let you back in even after repeatedly breaking the rules.
When a social group is full of rule breaks, I'm impressed that the mods do you the courtesy of sitting here and listening to the grievances and explain their position on why the place was deleted. They certainly have other things on their plate, such as the forum upgrade and moderating everyone's posts, in their free time. If this really were such a bad place, I'm not sure why we all would keep voluntarily coming back. If it were about intentionally irritating or annoying people, I'm not sure why they would allow a second or third tavern, or give warnings before deletion. I understand being upset but the facts don't meet the narrative it seems.
