My two cents....
This place is a evolving community. People come and go. People know each other outside the boards and through the boards. People dislike others and or have normal disfunctional family activities with certain members. It's inevitable.
There were a couple of reasons IHN was formed and originally there were 4 of us involved. First because NHTA had been removed from the Officials, which in itself was going through a huge transformation with the change in Management with the orgnaization. Another was the freedom to type what one would like without the massive Censorship that came with the Organization run site. Third to have the ability to negate those that were just there to stop the flow of the Community. Users like Tunez, or Frank, or ColdSteel that's only purpose was to troll and disrupt the flow.
That said as IHN evolved as any community there were those that had problems with others. Like any normal family. In fact names brought up above were prime examples of those that left because others remained that they did not like. It happens on EVERY one of the Hawk message boards. I am a member and read them all, except the officials most of the time, which I hardly log in.
If you want no moderation that is fine. Most of us would gladly quit or not really do any changing of anything, but as a team we discuss what would be best for the community as a whole. There is hardly ANYTHING ever deleted and a personal folder all mods can see, where ANYTHING deleted is public for those moderators. I believe there are about 20 posts in there that have been currently deleted over the past couple of months. You can't have your cake and eat it too. It doesn't work that way. I will not throw anyone under the bus but there are those that often have a problem or think something has crossed the line. With that most of the time it's just something deleted verses actually warning someone.
Lets go through some quick facts here.
In the History of IHN there have 5 posters Banned.
Flowers
Dirk
FrankG---Joined about 20 times under different names
Sonny--Clearly fell off the bus
Fluff-I miss Wiz
<edit 7> I left out Ryne or what ever his name was. He was banned on three different games. I also left out Tunez two names. He was just here messing with peoples plus minus and bad mouthing IHN on the officials.
There have been maybe 10 warnings to individuals through the entire 2 1/2 years given.
There has been very little moderation although I keep seeing people say there has. People will come and go. People will like and dislike others and make decisions on their own.
Some have left and come back. Some have never come back. Some have posted other places and have done so long ago. Millers has about 15 constant users. I read there and it's a great place but does not have the traffic IHN has. IHN has 10-15 people on most of the day. The 300 level is the old BHZ group. Around long before most of us were on the officials. There are a good community of people there, who by the way have many of the same problems IHN does because it's a COMMUNITY and sometimes disfunctional.
I could care less what you all do. Infact I spoke with Tony about not moderating anymore last night and will like Frank just not have the time to do so. That said you will never keep the same trend no matter how hard you try.
