He has not been banished from any forums. He no longer moderates forums other than Escorts South of the USA.

Oops my bad, thanks Barry. I meant to say banished from moderating within the other forums. I have amended my org post.

Joel, if you carefully read my org post, you'll see that your question here is redundant.

Guys, I don't mind not being a moderator in the other forums. I hadn't asked to be one, in any case -- I was just informed one day a few weeks ago that I was one! :-) Now that I'm not a moderator, except in Escorts South, I don't have to feel responsible in any way for what happens in them! Somebody else can be responsible for monitoring them for deliberate hijacking, over-the-top behavior, etc.

Well, Tri, there are many of us who appreciate the effort you make here in many ways. Of all the Brazil Research that I have done since deciding to visit and make a real estate purchase, nothing matches the information written and moderated by you in the South of the USA Forum. I, for one, want to say thanks and let you know that your effort is appreciated.

Oh, ok, cool. It's confusing when you use "real names" as opposed to posting names...guess thats where I get confused.

Chuckle. I'm afraid that I might frequently trample Doug's right to free speech if I shared living arrangements with him.

Well, Marilyn and JFK are before my time...a better guess might be Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal. Btw, everyone misspells it but it's not Monroe; it's Munroe, as in Jill Munroe, Farrah's character on Charlie's Angels. I named myself after her because she was the sex symbol on the show, because she was known for her hair, and because she loved to show off her butt in tight jeans. :p

Trilingual is ill suited to be a moderator at best. He has engaged in some heavy handed tactics that were agaisnt the best interest of the message center. I also suspect that deej felt his position of High Holy Horse's Ass threatened by trilingual's increasingly poor judgement as a moderator.

 

now deej just needs to remove the next worst moderator, himself.

As it turns out, the deleted posts fit the definition of "trolling" as used by the other moderators. Although I think that definition isn't completely clear, it's clear enough that the deleted posts unquestionably fit within it. And "trolling" is against the published Message Center rules.

>>TRILINGUAL writes in his forum today

 

It's not MY forum. The forum is for the visitors and members of M4M who are interested in Escorts South of the U.S.A. and related topics. Evidently that's a large number of people, and they've made it explicitly clear in the past few days that they don't want the forum used as a private pig-pen by socially maladjusted and/or emotionally disturbed individuals who feel a need to spew. In most cases such spewing fits the definition of "trolling," which is against the MC rules. Trolling can lead to deletion of posts or the suspension/expulsion of those who do it.

Can someone please provide a definition of what trolling really is? I've wondered about this before and still don't know exactly what it implies. Thanks.

I wasn't clear, myself, what exactly is considered trolling. Deej referred me to this website for an explanation: http://psychcentral.com/psypsych/Internet_troll

 

The website provides examples of trolling. The posts that gave rise to the most recent controversy fit squarely within the first example.

 

Personally, I think the definition of "trolling" in this site is overbroad, because it includes a wide array of behaviors based on widely differing motivations. However, my understanding is that the other moderators accept this definition, and since "trolling" is against the rules of this Message Center, the posts in question violated the rules.
