W1P Wrote:I will add this -- until Scream Thy Last Scream got in my face making illegal offers to give away licensed, copyrighted materials (including those that I paid thousands of dollars for), I had not had so much as a single occasion to warn anyone or delete anything. All I ever wanted to do on this site is discuss music and in particular Pink Floyd and in particular Pink Floyd tribute bands and covers. The diversion away from approrpriate and fun topics and on to nasty personal attacks, insults and "Monday morning quarterbacking" of Moderator disciplinary actions is slowly sucking away the joy that used to accompany my participation in this board.

PF Online requested that I become a moderator because of my expertise in tribute bands and covers. I accepted because I thought it would be FUN and until the campaign of Scream Thy Last Scream, joined by a cadre of followers, it was fun 99% of the time. I did not, however, sign up for this volunteer job to be called a Nazi -- NOTHING can justify that, even a denial that it was ever said.

As Fantastic Floyd correctly observes, this board has careened out of control. She has graciously offered to take steps to return this place back to the fun Floydfest it is supposed to be. Although she doubts that it can happen, I intend to support her by doing everything in my power to bring it back to the fun it is supposed to be.

And that means, among other things, that people are going to follow the rules on discilpinary issues by leaving those issues to the disciplined member, the Moderators and PF Online. If Members can't follow those rules, then they will lose their privileges. It's a very, very simple choice -- abide by the rules or you will be warned and if you continue to violate, you will be escorted off the premises.
