so.. you want some sort of regulations to be imposed....?
regulating what is writen/done by the people here on supertopo...?
Not sure the republican base s=is going to get behind you on this.. as they seem to only want no regulation.. except for those who stry from their party line (in other words if a repub does it its ok, if non-repub does it it's against the rules..)
yeah.. good idea.. but I have to vote no confidence in this new proposal

This thread is about the need for a moderator.
True. And on that subject, what we have so far is one vote for a moderator, and (I haven't counted the separate posters) every other vote for no moderator.
Even folks who have suffered some unpleasantness themselves are not voting for a moderator.
I agree with you that a bunch of the stuff that's been posted to this thread belongs on that other thread, but if you could somehow magically remove it, what you'd be left with on your original topic is:
ST needs a moderator:
Those in favor: 1 vote
Those opposed: Dozens of votes
Do you see a trend emerging?

Don't bother, Nutjob....It's just wanking.
Almost as entertaining as a deli session, sometimes.

he dont wear the same underwear as his neighbors
Odd that you brought that up. It isn't all that bad on ST.
One of the people I worked with was in the Seals. Now that is a pretty tough bunch. There it can get bad. Bob told me of one mission that required them to swim ashore, cut through beach defences in complete darkness, crawl through a mine field and then hike 200 cliks in a big loop through the blazing desert. At risk of being discovered they were in real danger for close to a week.
After five really bad days the sarg gathered them together and apologized for not providing the change of underwear he had promised. “But”, he said, “ I will now rectify that situation. Bob, you and Sam trade underwear. Jim, you and Fred do the same. Shall we get on with the mission now?”

Locker for Moderator......
which would be no moderator at all.
I like it. It'd honor RJ's request and answer concerns about a moderated forum. Peace in our time.

Excellent. Let's make this our official Taco request thread:
I'll add:
1. Please surface TR threads in main forum but make them live forever in TR land.
2. Please send Rockjox to the garbage bin. He's truly an annoying troll.
Sincerely,
pc

Rok,
Here you are advocating against any kind of censorship, and touting ST as a last bastion of free speech.
Stop ragging on me about what I (deleted) relaxation and pleasure. I make the points here about it because this is a forum that hasnt been censored yet and so I can dare to tell it like it is, as can we all. (deleted) is a VERY political statement and this forum is one of the last remaining bastions of freedom of the press and speech, MUCH restricted, despite the US Constitution. It (deleted) has very little to do with my life external to my friendships as you can bet I cannot admit to its (deleted) in my secret idenity as mild mannered > (name witheld to protect my freedom of speech (??WTF!!)
Liberty (!!??) and association.
Come back into the fold man!

In terms of anti-social behaviour, perhaps we should talk about how women on SuperTopo are treated, both on and off forum. Particularly young women. Harassment is a polite way to describe some of it.
Most posters here are grownups, and responsible for what they say and do. And most are identified persons, and so accountable - the noms de plume are mere figs of convenience. Grownups can or should be able to take care of themselves. If they can't, or if they indulge in inflammatory behaviour, not our problem.
Although the good old boys club dogpiles sometimes found here can be a bit much at times.
Someday I hope a sociologist follows ST for a few months as a lurker, and then writes about what he/she observes.

Things I Wished I'd Learned in Klettergarten
Type twice, post once.
Least posted, soonest mended.
Post unto others as you would have them post unto you.
The early poster gets the thingie.
Tis all sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Don't drunk when posting, or post when drunking.
Respect is earned, and is a privilege, not a right.
It's all fun and games until sometimes pokes a post out.
Don't post anything you wouldn't say to a person's face.

i vote no. and fwiw, roxjox, at times your posts have rubbed me the wrong way -- usually on days when i'm taking the three-ring-circus in my head way too seriously.
we don't need no moderator at the crags, and we don't need one here either. the combination of benign neglect and self-policing seems to do good enough.

No, Supertopo Needs a Monstor Truck!
Wouldn't it be cool to see the Supertaco logo on something like this?

Marge: President Clinton?
Clinton: Yeah, hi. I'm here to see Lisa Simpson.
Lisa: [gasps] You read my letter?
Clinton: Much of it, yeah. And those glow sticks were wrong,
very wrong, so I personally overturned the results
of that band contest. Congratulations. [hands Lisa
a plaque]
Lisa: [gasps] Thank you, Mr. President.
Clinton: No, thank you, Lisa, for teaching kids everywhere a
valuable lesson: If things don't go your way, just
keep complaining until your dreams come true.
Marge: That's a pretty lousy lesson.
Clinton: Hey, I'm a pretty lousy president.
