    A 100%percent, USDA certified GARBAGE note...
    
    Your USDA inspector..
    
    REK

Well, there are two other alternatives.


First, I just shut down the file.


Second, the moderators start moderating according to the exact letter
of the law.  I have a feeling SPORTS wouldn't be SPORTS if that's the 
case.


All we're looking for is a tiny bit of cooperation.  If we say not to
do something, then just be cooperative enough to understand that it has
crossed a line, and deal with it.   We allow so much leeway that we
don't have any more leeway to give when the line gets crossed.


Thanks for understanding.....


'Saw

    Yeah people, take a look at DIGITAL notesfile sometimes and you'll see
    what happens when people are real sticklers for the rules.

    What a stoopid question Hawk.  With all the tons of bad meat that 
    REK has handled what else would he be but a USDA inspector?

    RE: .0 & 9
    
    'Saw,
    
    Perhaps moderation to the letter of the law is necessary.  While
    everyone has their own interpretation of "where the line is drawn";
    there is only ONE interpretation of the P&P's for moderation purposes.

We definitely have been thinking of that.  It would not be the same
old SPORTS, and perhaps then folks would realize what they had was something
special, not something to piss and moan and whine about.

Time will tell,
'Saw

    Don't do it `Saw...  Just write lock the Bums that get outa control
    (Myself included if need be)  This is the best conference on the NET,
    please keep it that way !!!
    
    BG

Well, I guess all that we are asking is this:

	Since we DO allow a lot of leeway, when we DO say to stop
	something, please just comply.  Don't give us a lot of
	hooey, don't send us a ton of mail, and don't whine like
	a little kid whose Mommy wouldn't let him (or her) have a toy.


I personally don't want to spoil the "ambiance" of SPORTS, but I'd like
to think that everyone in the "tavern" is an adult....


So, let's see how it goes....


'Saw

    To follow up on 'Saw's request not to act like "a little kid whose
    Mommy wouldn't let him (or her) have a toy".  Please remember that the
    most effective discipline when children are squabbling over a
    particular toy is to remove the toy from *both* kids and send them
    somewhere else to play.  :-)  No attempt to determine who did what to
    whom first, last, or in between.  Just a fairly effective method of
    getting the non-desired behavior to stop.  Often that is what our mods 
    are trying to accomplish.  At least at my house, cooperation with the 
    discipline resulted in *much* quicker return of the toy to the play 
    space.
    
    It's a shame that our tavern seems to need the bouncers so often these
    days.  :-(

    Ooh, a metal-spoon wielding bailiff, and advice from Goofy's mom...
    what great endorsements... (smileys go here...)

    RE: .15
    
    I think you've missed the entire point.  The moderators *SHOULDN'T*
    have to worry about the content of the notes and shouldn't have to
    do a lot of set/hidden's, write-locks, etc.
    
    I moderate a conference and the only thing I have to do is read it.
    This is all the mods from this conference should have to do.
    
    My .02�,
    Jo

    How come if I do next unseens from this morning, or I do a set
    seen /bef=24-JAN:08:20, 228.369 belongs to Mike Childs, but
    if I type 228.369, it belongs to Glenn Waugamann?

    It's probably due to one of those bugs in the "SET NOTE/NOTE_ID=".  I
    moved Glenn's & T's discussion of the Don/T bet from the ACC Basketball
    topic to the AFC Playoff topic to join the rest of the replies on this
    subject.

    re: 22. What a mouthfull Mac!  8^)
       How 'bout moving the whole mess to the bit bucket?

    Here here, Hawk.  That would make it impossible for crooked operators
    to leave a trail of traumatized innocent crime victims in their wake.

Hmm..  The Rockies couldn't hide the protected list, so we hid the note
on the day of the draft and the day they sign Galaraaga.

Hmmm

Rockies note is not hidden, nor it is write locked.   

Try note 170.

Maybe I'm just Rockies Mountain High...

>Maybe I'm just Rockies Mountain High...

I think we're *all* a little off these days, what with all the stress and
pressure going on about our jobs and whatnot...

No sweat....
