Sad news.
Might I propose, before Doug starts banning people, that you and Rick insist on
a few guidelines for *him* when he does this.
I'm suggesting this because I think everyone here is aware that Doug
is...uh...not quite in touch with reality these days, and tends to see things
that aren't really there.
So what I suggest is that if he is indeed given the power to ban someone, he
cannot do so without reposting *the exact post* that Doug feels is in violation
of the Yahoo Guidelines, and without explaining to the group *exactly why* he
thinks this poster needs to be banned.
Otherwise, you know what's going to happen. Doug will just ban the people he
doesn't like, without telling *anyone*, and they'll just fall off the radar
because they can't post any more, either to complain or to defend themselves.
I think we all know that a tyrant has just been handed the keys to the kingdom.
I think we also all know what he will do with them. I'm just suggesting a
procedure that insures he can't do it in secret.

As is typically the case these days, I am completely out of the loop with
respect to Rick's handling of FFL. Doug's posts this morning piqued my
curiosity, and it turns out that Rick made Doug a moderator yesterday
afternoon. I have no idea what Doug is supposed to do in terms of enforcement.
As for me, my role will not change.

Cute. When do you get to be a full moderator for this site, Doug? Is this your
first official attempt? It seems you are practicing with me, or something,
given the plethora of more meaningful targets available. Regardless, I wish you
all the best in your new role...

'Don'tbe Unkind'. The Yahoo-groups guidelines are really quite enlightenedin
their guidance.
Forinstance,
“Ifone is constantly negative, one is heading towards trouble. Bynegative
thinking, feeling and acting one creates dark patches andmuddy colors in the
aura which, in turn, prevent the flow of God'screative energy from reaching
him. Without the light of God, thebody starts of manifest various imbalances

Alex, before you and Rick sprain your wrists patting yourselves on the back for
creating a "free speech zone", you must be aware that, contrary to the
thousands of forums on Yahoo Groups, yours is not in compliance with the
guidelines. Nothing to be proud of.
The guidelines are not arbitrary. They are put in place to foster discussion,
about anything. If you and Rick decide hands off, there is no unambiguous
solution to trolling on this forum. That is why the majority of the forums,
mine included, adhere to the guidelines set out by Yahoo Groups. Rick's and
yours don't, and that is no occasion for congratulations.

Thanks. From the very start, FFL was intended as a free speech zone. When Rick
asked me to be a moderator, the job description was to handle subscriptions,
keep out spammers, and make sure there's no porn or other content that would
get FFL categorized as an adult group, where it would be much less visible on
the 'net. For a time, I was also tasked with enforcing the moronic posting
limit.
WRT colloidal silver, I would only add that it should not be taken on a regular
basis, and even at 20 PPM, no more than 6oz should be taken per day.

J Alexander Stanley is supposed to be the moderator, but he mostly is busy
making colloidal silver and cooking meat at low temps for a loooooong time
(wish I had some now). Personally I like his post on what he cooks better than
I would any moderation stuff. And I appreciated him giving me the info on his
silver maker. So thus far, I am quite pleased at the moderate role J Alexander
plays as moderator.

Moderation ain't working, Doug, or haven't you noticed? There basically is NO
moderation on this forum. Rick has encouraged us all to ponder these deep
questions, but when it attracts trolls, he bails. No problem now that I have
adjusted, but let's please not act as if someone is EVER going to do anything
per the Yahoo Guidelines here. It is imo a useless thing to bring up at this
point.
I thought you left? Left to start a group with moderation? Why not stay there
if you can't cope with being here? Why the endless whining? Is it some sort of
denial of service for the people who actually like it here? Are you on some
sort of mission to save us from ourselves? You are the irritating troll, do you
understand? You and your mates who also never contribute anything. Go away.
Nothing is going to change here because we like chatting and having fun. Go
away and stop spoiling it. You and your mates are tedious beyond words. Go
away.
You are the trolls. Go away.

Itis true the original post by Turqb was the meme of a slur inviolation of the
Yahoo-groups guidelines and should have beenmoderated simply then by the group
owner.
Moderationis simple to do, either ask someone to withdraw/delete such a
postthemselves or a moderator remove it and suspend the perp's
membershipposting privilege.
Either-or. Ask the person for someself-restraint and if they don't come right
through then clip theirmembership privilege. The Yahoo-groups guidelines are
quitereasonable. -JaiGuruYou!

How do you know no one here is a child molester? Since, for you Xeno, it
doesn't qualify if someone suggests anal sex with babies, where do you
personally draw the line, whether or not someone has such tendencies? I think
you've sort of painted yourself into a corner on this one. I am not accusing
Barry of anything...
Similarly, I am not accusing Jim Flanegin from the Chico, California area of
anything, just reminding him that people who boast of having a huge stash of
automatic weapons and ammunition and of knowing how to create IEDs and chemical
weapons might just show up in the keyword scans of Internet traffic conducted
by the NSA, ATF, and Secret Service, so such bragging might not be the smartest
thing for him to do.
