To defend myself I made one post where I was unhappy that Rev Hodges was saying how things were so much better trade wise on another site. Here is my exact post

Why do you have to referance other sites in posts you aren't pimping prospects? It's not a good trend, if you dislike this site, you can just go to the others instead of promoting other sites.

I don't think this is a ongoing thing, or a huge squabble, I had an opinion I had held for a long time. I said something finally, he is leaving. I did nothing beyond this. If he feels he needs to leave over the above post then I wish him the best of luck in all his future endeavors.

In his defense, i think he was just stating what works on other sites could be very useful here as well.. again i dont see how helping to better this site, is promoting another one.

In my mod capacity here I had contacted him before (The only time I had ever spoken to him) and asked him to stop promoting and talking up how great things were on another site. He said he would, but has not stopped that. That was why I said what I did.

That is against the rules, yes? So much for freedom of speech.


If I tell everyone that I had a great meal at the piggly wiggly (I don't even know what that is actually) do I get banned too :?

What he said though had nothing to do with promoting another site.. he only referenced what site had a new trader send first policy. I guess its up to the reader to take it however they want, but i got nothing more out of it than him suggesting a way to protect traders against people who have no trading credability(sp) on a new site, which i think this site would benefit greatly from.

It was insinuated that if a MOD has to email you to tell you something being persistent at that something will likely result in discipline.

Honestly, if he is going to be a drama queen and leave the boards over this, let him.

What the Rev said was harmless IMO. As for promoting other sites, all any one of us has to do is look at your sig to see that what you're saying is somewhat hypocritical.

No one was banned, or even threatened to be banned.

If you haven't got that my site works with this site to promote it, and has sort of a symbiotic relationship, then I'm sorry.

Making false statements about mods and admin is probably more likely to cause you problems...

I'm not involved here in any way, and looking at this from a totally unbiased line of sight, I see a coupple things here.

1. Beefy basicly said "if you dont like it, leave", pure and simple. That in and of it'self is childish and hurtful no matter how you word it. Does he even have the authority or right to confront anyone like that?

2. The op is trying to make Beefy 'pay' by leaving and knowing full well it would be blamed on him. Also childish. If you really want to leave, then why start the drama knowing full well thats what would happen, if not for vendictivness?

3. If I were a mod(and I hate to say this but feel compelled), I'd ban both of them for a week. One for overstepping his bounds as a member and the other for conjuring unwanted drama. Give them both something to think about, and to see if eithor even wants to be here.

Just my 2.

Just curious but does being a mod give you the right to be hurtful? Is this the type of place where telling someone "if you dont like it, leave" is acceptable by thoes who entrusted you to moderate?
