    There are some on here that need to let shit go. This place ain’t that important. This isn’t real. Why get worked up. There are a few on here that baffle me with their stupidity and I call them out every now and then, but to go on and on about this is pretty ridiculous. Just don’t read their shit.
    SIDENOTE: there are also some on here who should definitely stay out of this and worry about their own posting styles and history. Thats for damn sure. Carry on FAMS!

    My feelings exactly. I personally think this whole thread is weird...

    Damn bro... Not gonna lie... Complaining about posts like that is snowflake shit... You hear and see way worse things in your life daily. We really need to have a whole thread about this??

    Those posts are benign as fuck and you need to grow a spine bro. You can ignore shit without putting it on ignore...

    I have straight up racists on ignore in this MF.

    Wanting to put someone on ignore for posts like that is soft. Take that however you want.... :dunno:

    I vote that we have a process that removes a mod instead of having hooliganism and gallows bullshit threads.

    I don’t know Stren well but I think I know him well enough that he finds this pretty amusing and to be honest so do I.
    But yes shutting down this thread probably is the way to go here.

    I don't think i started the thread and i dont have anyone on ignore. But to be fair, the ignore button should be even access for all or it isn't fair.
    I fight for fairness. Not softness or hardness.

    I was banned for continuously causing drama. People didn't move on past my posts. I didn't get the same treatment. So yeah im gonna speak out.

    But the posts he's made aren't bad enough to be banned. Or even reprimanded. They break no rules.

    You can't ignore mods for very obvious reasons.

    where did i say they were? The fact is no one told other people to move on past my posts. Not once.
    But when the rolls are reversed….

    I know for a fact at least one person has been told to just move on past your posts (or similar). I'd be shocked if it hasn't happened more than once.

    I'm sure mods have told people the same about some of my posts.

    Personally, I don't believe in doing anything too strenuous.

    Was that the question?

    I've let this conversation carry on without input or opinion, but now it's time for me to jump in here.

    I have read all of your posts and investigated this matter. I do take your complaints very seriously.

    Strenuus as a mod: The first thing I checked was his posts and the moderation logs. I was looking to see if Stren has abused his mod powers. By that, I mean deleted or changed posts of people he was arguing with, or who had taken issue with people who had taken issue with him. While this was never an accusation, this thread was asking me to remove him as a moderator. So I'm going to check that he's not misusing or abusing his mod powers. I found nothing.

    Strenuus as a poster: Is he posting something snarky? Is he tossing out personal insults to people? Is he derailing threads with never-ending arguments? Yes, he's been snarky and negative. That is not against the rules here, and it is relatively new behavior.

    Now, I did notice a change in the tone of his posts even before some of you started to complain. But I've got to ask, am I the only one who noticed this and reached out to him privately to make sure everything is going okay with him? I've done that with a few people over the years. I've always felt we're more of a community than just a forum. If you notice a change in the behavior of someone and it concerns or upsets you, please reach out to them or to me via private message. Sometimes people have a hard time asking for help. Sometimes the cry for help comes in changes in behavior.

    No, nothing seems to be going on with Stren, at least nothing he wants to share with a dog.

    I have talked to Stren privately. But I see nothing that he has done as a mod or a member that warrants being removed from staff or the forum.

    Love you all, Sly
