    Maybe the "longest" is not the best way to determine ... I know people that have been
    banned for SPAM that are NOT spammers - more than one.

    If I was a moderator, I'd be mad at you guys for presently dissing Skiers Choice employees and I would be deleting your threads.

    THAT's why you won't see a bulletin board member being a moderator.

    Give em a break. M Littman just left the company, Natalie is on a well deserved vacation and the one remaining moderator has a life and is doing what he can. Hang in there, it will eventually get worked out

    I was banned from the site for a few days and all of a sudden I'm able to post again.

    Ed,

    Who is dissing? What I saw was a recognition that SC employees are busy
    folks - just like the rest of us - who may not have the same level of
    dedication to this site that the users do.

    What I saw were volunteers to help out - and a couple people say they had
    already volunteered - not much else.

    Sorry if my offer of help somehow came across as "dissing"...

    I was not directing my comments to anyone in particular.

    Just making the point the we members cannot be biased or calloused enough to be moderators.

    We are just way to passionate about our boats and sense of Skiers Choice family.

    I'll bet a $1 If you were a moderator, you would have just thought I was attacking you and therefore deleted my post.

    c'mon, admit it. You woulda.

    No - actually I would not have. I moderate several other bulletin boards, and at least
    on those, unless someone uses profanity - is abusive, or outright spammer, I would
    not delete a post.

    If someone is banned for gross violations, such as porno, or other things that
    violate the agreement of this site - I think deleting posts is bad idea. Contacting
    the poster, and asking them to "soften" or otherwise change, perhaps - but moderating
    is not to be a censor (at least to me).

    Sorry Ed, I wouldn't-a ... (no smiley - I am serious)

    Glad to meet ya serious and I'm over joyed your a terrific moderator on some other boards.

    So am I (backpacking and marathon running).

    Now if you told me you were an elected Judge, I might be impressed with your ability to be impartial.

    We can keep blowing smoke all day at each other, but in the end we won't end up as moderators here, nor are we needed to be.

    Here's a smiley for ya, cause you need it and I love you

    ok - now you get one back - sir Smoke Blower ...

    Todd

    PS: I was one of the people wrongly labelled SPAMMER and banned. In the zest to clean up,
    they must've gotten a few by accident, and today - I will likely get spammed again - just for the sheer
    number of posts - without regard to content ... sigh

    IMO that is absolutely the WRONG way to moderate. If my posts were moderated in a such a fashion you would not see me back. A forum is about the free exchange of ideas, both the popular ones and the unpopular ones. Those sort of policies will drive members away, and I applaud SC for allowing this and other somewhat critical threads to continue. To censor them would speak very badly for the company.

    Yes, I'm sure Skiers Choice may not be happy with me right now, and I don't care. This thread has accomplished its purpose, the forum is being cleaned now.

    If they can keep it that way without member moderation, great. If they can't
    then they should consider it.

    All the more reason for members or more people to be moderators. You can't run a site that's being attacked so hard with this spam and have 3 people controlling it.

    I said members because it's those people that are on here all the time and actually pay attention.

    DKJBama92Mariah, I highly doubt Skiers Choice is upset with anyone posting on this thread.

    They can detatch themselves from what is written and that's why they should remain in complete controll of the board.


    Truth be told, the forum would have eventually been cleaned without this thread.

    But kudos to you guys for being so proactive.

    Actually, it's nice to see activity of any kind on the Supra BB.

    I have one question though...how's come you Supra guys get all the latest and greatest news from the Skiers Choice Execs and us Moomba'ers have to come here and discover it?

    scmarketing didn't give us his swan song.

    We always knew mom loved you best
