Spray Opinion

Its really quite simple.

 

We want the best user experience for everyone. Not the best user experience for Dru, Muffy, Alex, jon, AlpineK, mattp, Lowell_Skoog, and Sphinx.

 

The best user experience for everyone is not well defined, but it is somewhere between a dry boring site that Capt Caveman and mikeadam were once upon a time so frightened of, and the idiotic non-stop spray that is hard to achieve even by such illustrious posters as Dru and Muffy.

 

For the most part, the site is at a good balancing point and everyone agrees. If you didnt agree you wounldnt be here every day.

 

So the way this works is the moderators of this site keep trying to find a good balance between bullshit and boredom. If you don't like it, send an email to any one of us. Yes, we have a SUPER SECRET MODERATOR-ONLY FORUM that we sometimes discuss this stuff with each other, but to be honest the moderating game is much more autonomous than that.

 

Moderators are working for free. When you create alot of work for us, it makes us bitchy...because hey, well, we are working for FREE. So if you somehow can manage to not be a bunch of little babies, then moderators suddenly dont have to do as much and are magically not nearly as prone to be pissy or ban you or whatever.

 

 

can we move on now? please everyone?

what you are seeking is impossible 'you can't please all the people all the time'

 

good luck though

 

that is truely a dumb statement. of course we cannot. that is the whole balance point. and since this website was originally set up for climbing, the spray seems a bit much. everyone bitches about content and being boring, well post up trips, pics and other CLIMBING RELATED stuff to discuss.

 

CLIMBING WEBSITE. POST ABOUT CLIMBING.

that would be good

there is nothing so effective as telling a volunteerr they don't know how to do their job

 

I think Alex is just mad cause I carefully ignored him when posting a list of moderators yesterday.

 

Send $20 and I will post the list of PM's from moderators who said "Hey, I'm cool, don't put me on that list with mattp and Peter Puget"

This all sounds good Alex, but did yesterday really go down that way??

 

Yes it did.

[i posted an opinion. I'm still trying to figure out why you posted your response. Was it simply to suck up to Jon and Timmy? (Yeah, I agree, they've got a good gig here and it's their right to do whatever they want with it. I also want them to know that while it might not be apparent that the likes of trask make this place what it is, I do believe that's true. ) Or were you just shooting from the hip, and missing, because you like the sound of your voice chastising people?

It's the latter.

 

Hey little punk - you wanna go rounds! I know for a fact that I have a few more years of experience at debate or battle. YOu know nothing about me or my views - so shut your young little trap!

Kitten, I remember the last time I made a $ donation to the board...when's the last time you made one?

Dear RobLow;

I have to wonder where you come off throwing punches at someone you don't know. I didn't intend to chastise anyone - just making a point - agreeing that the boys (Jon & Timmy) have something good and should be able to do what they please. I do NOT personally know either of them - so sucking up wouldn't necessarily work for me.

 

As for a donation - ask my husband - it comes from the same household!

Oh, I'm RobLow because I called you on labeling me a "whiner" because I stated an opinion? I have to know you to dislike the tone of your post??
