Odd. I reported this on the 4th.

Edit: And just as a test, I reported it again at about 2:25AM CDT.

That's strange then.
Maybe my web broswer at work was having issues at the time?
I know I reported the posts.
Perhaps next time i'll report the post an PM a mod who's online at the time, just to be sure.

I don't know... I tried at least.

Maybe I'll see if I can get IT to put Firefox on my computer at work

I reported this at some point around then, too.

I like you aaron and I respect your opinion, but to be 100% straight with you, if you want to leave the forum that is entirely your call. Heavier moderation is necessary as the site gets busier, otherwise it all goes to shit. We try and find the balance between being forum nazis and having a good time, and as of late there is WAY too much shit in the music forum. It's not even "as of late", as I've been asking people to knock it off for months now.

There have been 619 moderator actions this month so far. That includes things like moving threads and changing titles, but a good 75% of it is deleting posts that are out of line, and the month isn't even half over.

If you're expecting the mods, or myself, to sway our opinions on how to run ss.org based off of "I'll leave" remarks, with all due respect you will be disappointed. This site caters to everyone, longtime members and new folks alike, and we make decisions with the best interests of everyone in mind.

Same here. I hope I've addressed your concerns, and if not you can always PM me.

That all makes sense. And, to explain myself a bit, my "I'd leave" comment wasn't a threat or anything, it was moreso confusion, as I haven't noticed a lack of humour and entertainment on this forum. One of the reasons I love this forum is that there's a lot of useful information here, as well as everyone's a lot of fun to talk to and we don't take ourselves too seriously. Sure, the silliest stuff is in off-topic, but that doesn't mean I've never laughed when reading other forums here.
