Thanks all,
not whining about it, just take it real personal when people say we as mods are too this or too that,
when from my seat, I see us as pretty laid back, trying like hell to stay out of someones grille,
find it frustrating to be called racist when we are just trying to let people form their own opinions one way or another, and all because we don't x any statement or thread that someone may not agree with. There are many opinions or threads I don't agree with, yet do we really want a monolithic view, or is it preferable to have a multi-viewed forum?
we actually have very few people here with the keys to the door, and we are loathe to use it, as we prefer people to help police the site, rather than us running around with a hammer.
back in the day, members were getting banned all the time. It really is a far cry from what it used to be.
as for some of the suggestions, I will get working on them,
already changed some of the settings to allow more per page and so on,
you can also change some items in your user settings:
