I agreed to be a mod because I have enjoyed connecting with many wonderful providers and for the opportunity to work with and get to know others better!
It amazes me that there is so much drama that takes place and I will never consider myself a member of the "hobby police." I know that as moderators we do have a responsibility to communicate concerns with individuals when issues arise and unfortunately if guidelines are violated we have a responsibility to address that.
As for the issues that happen outside of the board, in the "real world," if they are brought onto the board then they need to be addressed.
I PERSONALLY have grave concerns when individuals harass, intimidate, stalk, or disrespect others outside of this forum but there isn't anything that I can do BUT when individuals do that here ... then it is a violation of guidelines, and rather then post them here, I would encourage folks to review them.
Its late, I'm tired, and I wish everyone a wonderful night!
