You are my hero. x12 BRAVO!!

Simple: Don't frequent the forum s/he moderates. If you don't like the company, go elsewhere.

If it's not one of the people who runs/owns the board, you can always try to contact them

I didn't ask how to avoid one. Why should me (and others) have to leave a board I/we like because one person is an asshole/bitch and discriminatory?

I agree with ShyGuy68. If that doesn't solve the problem, you can always try to contact Laurel. Other than these options, I think avoidance or acceptance are the only options.

Hmmm...I was just trying to be helpful. Did you actually expect an answer to this question in the first place? Or is this just a rediculous attempt to make your feelings known disguised as a question?

You don't seem to like most of the people here or what they have to say. You argue and engage in namecalling. Now you don't like the moderator, again starting with the insults. How you categorize this as a board you LIKE is beyond me.

Can you provide examples of said behavior?

#1 - No one said it was this board.
#2 - Yes, I expect an answer.
#3 - I know you were trying to be helpful but I'm not the only one and we don't feel like going anywhere...so avoidance isn't really an option.
#4 - I DO like most of the people here...it's when people attack me for no particular reason when I get pissed and "argue" (I'd prefer defend myself and friends from unreasonable attacks... ) The only reason I've gotten extremely rude lately when wondering into the GB and How To is because of beforementioned unreasonable attacks...I'm just trying to avoid all the muss and fuss. Although if people weren't rude to me, I wouldn't be rude back....I'm not a rude person, I just give as good as I get.

Threatening to delete threads because they *supposedly* don't follow the rules when they know damn well that there are a million other threads on the board that don't and that mine are.

Just being a general asshole/bitch following me and friends from thread to thread with their little groupies and bringing shit in from other threads to start more shit in that one.

Just to start with.

Since this is a free site, I would think the moderators can do what they please.

Have you contacted the moderators? One thread was deleted by accident and was quickly returned.

I have been to some of these How to sites and Sky is right. Some Mods take the freedom of these boards and try to confine them. The people who started the threads did break any of the rules, and were not doing anything wrong when that mod came in and threaten to move it to the "playground." Why??? So I applaud Sky for starting this thread it took real courage. Sky, you rock!!

Did you ever stop to think if you're being told this by more than one Mod, that maybe it's not the Mod's that are the problem?

I was actually trying to be kind and not trying to single out one particular mod.

Like I said just being kind.

I can't see how this thread is anything but retaliatory in nature. If you have issues with the conduct of a moderator you could contact them privately as well as Laurel or Manu.

Considering that most of the posts made by Skyy and bcsimmon are in the Amateur Pic Forum and the General Board the reason this thread is here in the 'How To' seems just to be spiteful. It certainly could have been posted on the GB, where it is not moderated as such.

I am not being "retaliatory." I am simple out here helping a friend. It is her post , but she is not alone. Just thought she would like to know that.

Finally, words of wisdom!!

In the years that I've been here, I can't recall how many of these types of threads pop up because some one has an issue with a mod. These threads never, ever do any good whatsoever, and why should they?

If Skyyangel and bcsimmons have some sort of issue with Lady G, then take it up with her via PM or with Laurel. The majority of us here don't live and die by Literotica and feel the mods are doing a good job for what they get paid. (Which, btw, is zip) These threads only serve to air one's pettiness. Life isn't always what you want it to be and people aren't always who you want them to be. Deal with it and get on with life.

I don't think that Skyy was posting on the how-to board to be spiteful... it's just that the topic is, in fact, a how-to topic. We wanted to know if there was some 'higher power' to contact and inform of abuse. And just because a mod doesn't get paid doesn't mean that they should have the right to abuse and be ignorant to other people who visit lit, that's what trolls are for.

again, stcking up for a friend so she doesn't have to do this alone. I do believe she was looking for constructive answer. Instead she was getting attacked. So telling us to "deal with it" shows that maybe you do not want to have an open and civil conversation. I for one did. No you want me to get nasty and stoop down to your level I will. I prefer to be open and frank, but you chose.

This is because I moved a post, that not only myself, but others here also, felt had deteriorated into a PM fest between 2 people?

I COMPLETELY agree, Tania...no one should abuse or be ignorant here, especially not the mods.

Abuse: to treat cruelly or inhumanely with the intent to offend or hurt

Now if you can give definitive proof of any of the mods being abusive, I'll be more than happy to join your and Skyy's cause to oust those mods. You might want to keep in mind that calling people names like "shitty" "bitch" "whore" IS verbal abuse by most reasonable people's standards, so be prepared to receive the same treatment you are seeking for the mod(s) in the interest of fairness and equality.

I was rather curious about how one would go about issuing a complaint against a mod... I think I have that answer now, so thankyou. I've spent a lot of time on the how-to board when it was a friendly chat place... it just makes me sad that it is now viewed as a hostile/ignorant place where people go and expect to get ridiculed. It wouldn't bother me so much if it were just me, but I've had several people now come up to me and express the same idea (people that I wasn't even aware of beforehand).

I'm not trying to be rude or abusive. Just wanted to know how to go about issuing a complaint, so I'm glad that Skyy brought up this topic... and I won't be back here to listen to anyone's responses, just wanted to explain myself. I'm not interested in getting flamed/threatened yet again.

Have a lovely day everyone

As I've mentioned before I give when I get. I didn't start anything. I've been at this place for almost 2 years and have spent most of my time in the HOW-TO FORUM during that time. It USED to be a nice friendly place...then all of a sudden I show up here one day and get bitched at because I thought some people were being rude to another person who was just trying to ask a question.

Regardless of personal beliefs about a certain lifestyle or desire, there's no need to get nasty about it. THAT WAS ALL I SAID! And then I get flamed for it and chased around from thread to thread and called "Immature" and "Childish"...for wanting people to be nice to one another?!?

I've been a moderator before...I didn't get paid zip and I know it's not the greatest acknowledged job in the internet world. I understand how hard it is to be fair when people are flaming/arguing with your friends but regardless it still has to be done. I don't feel that Lady G did that...

As pointed out by someone else, the thread she refers to "that deteriorated into a conversation between 2 people" had 7 people talking on the previous page!! So what if there's only 2 people talking on a thread? Woop-de-fricking-doo...has the Lit world come to a screaming halt?? Some people have asked a question and gotten it answered by one other person, then there's a little more give and take and life moves on. Should we banish all of those to the dreaded PlayGround??

But let's see about that one rule shall we? The one about posting stuff in the appropriate forum?

SOMEONE...ANYONE please explain to me how "What feeds your soul?" and "What pisses you off?" and "Let's get a collection of links" belong in the HOW-TO forum?? ESPECIALLY when compared with a thread on "How to get revenge" or "how to oust a mod"? Whether you like the particular thread or not is of little importance....if you're going to be so gung-ho about the damn rules then how about you actually APPLY them to the ACTUAL people who have broken them?
