Sorry, hard to keep track.. What with all the posts here.

I thought Voix said she wouldn't mind but would not be around much?
We could have two mods right? One a more stable presence and another slightly on/off routine?
Well, I dunno..

Anyhoo, updating..

Oh, no, you're right:

Only problem is that I'm not sure I have the time to moderate Astro 2.0. as efficiently as it needs, it is REALLY busy. I didn't even see anything had happened until today, when it was all over. Aside from that, my astrological knowledge isn't substantial enough for that forum.

I am happy to check into Astro 2.0. though, and while I can't lock any threads, I can try and help when any issues arise.

That is NOT what I was saying.
Please don't quote me or paraphrase me if you don't understand what I'm saying.

If you want to perhaps consider the PoV, then once again, I request you to read what I wrote.

I know. People calling you fucktard and wanting to run you over with their car or burn your house don't make your skin crawl, since you probably give the same treatment to others yourself. Randall banned that guy but you continue to enable him, you just won't stop. I think you misunderstand this forum.

Is it even fair for one person to have to moderate and manage all that toxicity? I don't think it is personally but Randall does not have time for it and I don't blame him, who has time for wasting your chi life force into fights others start and bring unto themselves?

That been said I feel is crucial that whoever is chosen to mod Astrology 2.0 is an extremely unbiased individual bc 99% of the people that are been suggested here are usually part of the problem too in keeping drama alive and are not unbiased but they cannot see it nor the people who think like them politically can see that they are part of the problem and hence why they suggest them. It does take two people to fight and start drama and is never a one sided issue but most people in here fail to see this or to own their part in the problem.

---

I do agree that those who have participated more than once in going back and forth in this neverending drama should be automatically disqualified from moderating.

I don't believe having an ignore button would solve the issue as people seem eager to feast on the statements of those they claim offend them.

I second the idea of having those who are interested in moderating filling out a form and let Randall make a decision.

This has been a great forum. I hope it remains great in the years to come.

It is not really very complicated lol

If it wasn't complicated we would not keep having the issues that we are having. Politics is dominating people's perception of who is been bullied or what is fair. So you may feel that someone is been bullied and is crystal clear to you but Faith and Leeloo to name a few see it completely different through totally different lenses.

I agree, but that also goes for you - if you think that bullying is going on, you could report it to Randall, and not inflame things further. Instead, you made a choice to attack someone, and to start a thread doing the same.

Again, goes for you, too. And I remember hypatia making some inflammatory responses to others. Few of us are totally innocent when it comes to things like that.

I need to get out of here. I'll think about it, and maybe nominate a few people privately to Randall, through the contact form.

As a moderator of this forum, how do you feel about this?

I am not bragging but I have leadership roles in which I have to deal with these kinds of people and do it well. I learned these lessons from EXACTLY what YOU are going through. I could never be doing half the things I am without having to go through what you are going through

PS Also, the people who treat others horribly always get karma! ALWAYS

happening to users of this forum?
Thank you.

And what was the reason to not interfere when one or more of the users here were attacked like this, which is against the rules of the forum, the ones you know better as moderator?

And lastly, as a human being and as per your profession, why did you not speak against such violence?

just like here; people dont know it but energy is sensed. most are from NA and sensed VIC's intention. it was kind of funny to be honest, and someone on the other side of the planet (the one getting crazy) likely did not sense his intentions in the slightest. but you can judge the pigs by what they are. but the true girl knew if any of them were the parents. because not everything is done by appearance. in fact this is a world of much soul

It works beautifully on other forums. Why wouldn't it work here? Lindaland isn't any different than other forums on the Internet. If someone posts something offensive, then report them to a moderator if you wish and put them on ignore. You can always change your mind later and "unblock" them. It cuts down on the drama significantly.
