In advance of my first trip to Savannah, GA later this year, I have begun reading John Berendt's book, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
Quirky, but it is a real page turner.
I agree with everything said by @rvwnsd and I'm going to add a couple other thoughts as well.
Everyone of the staff are volunteers. We do this because we believe in the community and see it as a value to ourselves and to others. It's not our day job and we don't make any sort of living from our efforts here.
This site averages over 600 posts per day. None of us have time to read every single post and make a decision if it's within the community guidelines. As we interact with the site, if we see something wrong... we all follow the same process you do and report that post. Now as a part of the staff, we then take the next step of dealing with the situation. That could be giving a gentle nudge in the right direction or giving out a formal warning.
If anyone on this site sees something out of place (be it a rule violation or something that needs updated or anything else that warrants calling specific attention to), we ask you simply report what you see. "If you see something, say something" applies here. That will ensure we actually catch it and can review it. We can't guarantee that we'll agree with every report made, but EVERY single report is reviewed and actioned by a moderator.
At the end of the day, we just want to be another member like everyone else. We're each "just another person" with likes/dislikes. We occasionally have disagreements or differences of opinion. We just also happen to have a few extra responsibilities.
Each of the actions the team takes are not done from spite or malice. It's because we want to see this place be a fun, friendly, and safe place for us all to be.
I'm going to close this topic for now, however if anyone has any questions please feel free to use the "Contact Us" button below. It will create a ticket that can be seen by the entire team and allow any of us to respond.
I think the new group of moderators have made great strides in managing the site in a MATURE and civil way... Where in the past an infraction received an immediate BAN without warning, discussion or notice (at east in MY case) , now the moderation is more transparent and productive in reducing repeated mis-conduct ... Treating adults as ADULTS is a much more respectful way to handle things... Thank you to ALL the team.
