Stormy and Rock are very even handed people who have volunteered their time to help the site.
They are trying to learn new software as well as get a handle on what is involved in moderating.
Can't we just cut these guys some slack instead of purposefully nit picking everything and making their jobs harder?

Re: Hazing of New Moderators
I say cut their salary in half until their production meets expectations. 
Lately this forum reminds me of the Hatfields and McCoys in that there seems to be a whole lot of stupid going on.
(Great mini-series by the way.)

Sounds reasonable to me. This place is a paradise of liberty compared to other places I have seen. Constant demands that someone should construct and enunciate a set of detailed rules (particularly about images ...) that will never demand a judgement call from a moderator will get us nowhere.
It's simply an impossible task.

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

Rather than dividing in to 2 camps, posters/hazers and modertors/hazees, perhaps we could just try and communicate as clearly as we are able.
For me, in view of the homophobia of Mormonism, I can't see how a thread on Gays could be off-topic. But I'm not the guy with the "move" button.

This should be moved to the Telestial forum.

What?
Their only task is
1. To delete my links
2. Sometimes, to not delete, only to mark them as NSFW
3. To edit out the "#" so make them visible (never happened until now)
4. To convince Shades to terminate my banning (as prove Easter Bunny's, Santa's, Tooth Fairy's and god's existence...)
To outest darkness.
