We did have a mod like that at one time, but that person is no longer here...

If you're refering to my decision to let the 'ban on sight' go, after one of the other mods questioned my decision to enact it...I would like to respond to that:
1) The mod who decided that I acted in a 'questionable' manner, is FAR from an "idiot"
2) Are you suggesting that we need a ROGUE mod, who does NOT consult with the other mods, or consider the input of the other members of this forum before taking action, and acts SOLELY on his/her own, based on their own perceptions, wants, opinions, likes, dislikes, etcetera?...I have to strongly disagree with that...

As they do...This is the game that we play...Perhaps they just want new screen names...I seriously doubt that creating a new screen name will alter anyone's personality

We tried that last time...We received NO response (I even put it in the moderator's forum)...Horror never even looked at it...The ONLY person who DOES have the power to do anything here that would actually WORK, won't do it/doesn't give a shit

I don't know about the others, but
I never sleep, this baby doesn't allow it...And...One of the other moderators (the best we ever had), is having a pretty damned difficult time right now, as his mother became very ill last month and just died last week (Happy Holidays, huh?), so I don't think that he's overly concerned with trying to uphold the illustrious reputation, of this most respectable forum at the moment...Kinda puts things into perspective a little, doesn't it?

Well, there ya go...That's why the function exists...I really don't know what else there is to advise beyond that...
Sure, if each individual member uses the function, the problem goes away for THEM...But, some of you may ask "What about visitors or new members to the site?...They can still see the bullshit"...True, but if Horror doesn't give a shit about the content or reputation of HIS site, then why the hell should WE?...Do some of you feel 'dirty' because you belong to a site with such a shitty reputation? :p...The bottom line is, YOU guys don't HAVE to read it, or even SEE it, if you REALLY don't want to...And if you DO happen to see it (perhaps in a quote, or you don't wanna hit that ignore button), you DEFINITELY do NOT have to respond to it, or even give a shit about it

Find me ONE person who can hammer a nail with a pickle, and I'll recommend them MYSELF (however, it won't do a damned bit of good, because Horror would NEVER see it)...
The bottom line is...WE (the mods) do NOT have the tools that are necessary to perform the duties that SHOULD be performed here...
We CAN:
1) Delete, edit, merge, and move shit
2) Warn people to 'knock it off', which REALLY works when they know that there's NO repercussion if they DON'T...:rolleyes:
Think of it this way:
Judge: If you don't stop killing people, I'll take away your knife
Serial Killer: So, I have another knife
Judge: Well, I'll take that one, too
Serial Killer: It really doesn't matter, I can get more knives, or a gun, or a chainsaw, or...
Judge: Yeah, I guess you're right...Oh well, I did my best with what I have to work with...It isn't like I can actually lock you up or REALLY stop you, so have at it...
3) Allow nuisances to create new screen names
Sooo...Whatever ELSE you guys want from us (the mods)...We just don't HAVE
