At least to me, because: I never really noticed any heavy duty moderating, in fact I very rarely see any moderating. And you know what, moderators, that is a compliment to you guys - kinda like in football games - a good referee is one that doesn't show.

Might be because I (hopefully) don't need them, though But there is all from 10-60 new member joining GMC every day. One of those might have a bad mouth or a grotesque attidute. If they see one of these discussions, they might behave themselves. Not that I have seen a "lot" of these reminders anyway, though. GMC is a great community! No, cross that. GMC is the best community I've seen ^^ You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

A visible reminder in a thread is there for everyone, past, present and future posters. We're putting out the fire once and for all by making a visible announcement. If we should stick to sending PM's as suggested we'd have to deal with new posters wanting to throw gasoline onto the heated discussion and we'd have to do it over and over and over again. No thanks, no way! Signed, Micke and I AM A MODERATOR and now we're going to deal examine this further. See why below. And I announced this in public to put a full stop to it. No moderator is here to cause trouble but make no mistake, we'll to everything in our power to keep it away! Here's the prior statement tony was refering to. Moderator comments are NOT up for public disputing or funny remarks! They are there to keep things in order and anyone trying to undermine a moderator's authority while doing his or her work will have to be prepared to take it all the way to the finishline!! Don't take moderator matters in public. PM a moderator if there are any questions! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Posts: 5.526 Joined: 21-December 06 From: illinois	The forums here really are the best on the net, no question in my mind Just yesterday I posted a message on a fan forum of a band I like asking for help with a sequence, and I got flamed left right and center, and I thought to myself this never would have happened at GMC Every action our mods take really is done with the best of intentions and they each put countless hours of hard work and dedication into their dutys! Of course its the collective community that really makes the user experience extra special, so many warm, friendly and kind hearted people ( not to mention super skills, awsome licks and some techno terror licks ) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I got edited (by mattacuk haha) a few days ago for saying the grown up version of "pee". In Canada it isn't a bad word unless your going to church 6 nights a week and once in the daytime. Nevertheless, it might not be used quite so casually in the UK. So, like a mature adult, I accepted the friendly reminder. I don't see anything wrong with keeping the forums clean of language. And I work oil rigs, you can bet dollars that I have the filthiest mouth of any member here. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

And that's fine by me. But I can also see how others would interpret this as moderators flaunting their power at whim. But the bottom line is... the fact that we are even having this polite, and civilized discussion just shows you that we have come SO far. And even though I wouldn't consider this a "perfectly moderated forum" it's loads better than any other out there. and that's good enough for me.

Shouldn't this come kind of natural? Or, maybe not... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
