W30, I respect your views and that enhances the quality of community that is here, and we do need moral grounding from time to time. This includes the Active military and the Civilians and Non U.S. Citizens.
I know that you fear reprisal becasue of the status quo and Fratinization and all the other "Rules" we must conduct ourselves. I honestly do not believe their will ever be any problems of this nature from the Military crowd. The Great thing about this site, I always enjoy the subdued collared communication we have with Officer and enlisted, and I think we have strengthened the bonds that has allowed ourselves to apprentice in another servicemembers shoes.
I popped in the thread becasue i seen that you hade made a post. I left the blinders on from the title. I respect your posts becasue you are a Honarable man and bring a been their done that discussion, that allows a has been like myself to reflect on my past career and still live the romance of the job. I wish I had Caught this thread sooner, Unfortunately ive tried to stay Low Key lately on WT.
A few Reasons:
A: Im Ill and limit my Internet usage these days. (Dont ASK)
B: Moderators have no power, except in their prospective forum (edit only)
C: The Admin is limited in what he can do. If hes out of pocket...forget it..turn the page...
Admin and Moderators are unable to Ban Riff Raff on the site. This priveledge is by design of a custom software. Only "Pete Nelson" The owner of the site. Can Ban, and the way that he has to do it is by Ip ban to the Domain Server Box. The Forum software lacks any administrative capability for the WT staff.
My personal Views:
I love to nose gun and banter with the best of them, it is my nature. And at times I tend to be very direct, confrontational, hostile etc when asked. I have no problems with this. What I do have a problem with is the fact that when riff raff does show up. Their are two ways to deal with it. Be an extreme ass and intimidate the Foe, or hope that the Regime decides if it has gone to far and takes action that silences the threat. In most cases, they respond before i unleash a nuclear holocaust.
In the end I still look like a Jackass. But that is my role by design.
It seems we have many moderators that are Gun Shy of pressing in and Merging with Advesaries and or Family here. It does need to be done from time to time.
Always the best recourse of action is to Email m21Sniper (site admin) or one of the moderators. Their is nothing Prude about your request of Decency. It is out of respect for the content this site portrays. I would never think any less of you. IF I had been approached.
again my email is always open

Mindless babbling with no intent to either enlighten or inform.
