... of why some mods may be reluctant to send explanatory PM's to members...

here

The message by "nelliedelephant" was left after I sent her a PM explaining that she was not allowed to post a copyrighted photograph of the Taj Mahal she stole from the internet.

Just an example of the occasional crap we have to put up with from some people.

Yes, but crap usually runs downhill. We are near the top Sam...upper small intestine instead of the settling pond.

How rude Sam. I am sorry that some people lack good manners :o)

I felt a simple PM after violating the rules was a bit kindhearted of you

now, 'nellie' has violated sections 1a, 1b, 1d, 2f


I shudder to think of the verbage in your next PM ..

I vote the word "PLONK" be used


PLONK: the sound one makes when falling to the bottom of a LIMBO folder

I gave it a zero too, but hey it wasn't me the Voting Booth Generator gave it a 0...darn, I was pullin' for ya too!! 8~O

Too bad some people breath, that's for sure!! Ya'll put up with lotsa poo-poo!!

I luv ya baby and that's what counts!! Three cheers for all the mods!!

Hip Hip Hooray!
Hip Hip Hooray!
Hip Hip Hooray!

yes sadly, this kind of behavior towards the mods and aediles isn’t exactly isolated. When people ask Where are the mods? - these days more often than not they tend to be off fending off flack like this or tracking down the ever increasing abuses of the sites code of conduct. It’s a sad state of affairs to be sure.

I love the part on her personal page where it lists one of her projects as "Trying to be sensible".

Yes, but don't be so alarmed. The voting booth is a good system to protect our works from these morons...

Heyyy ... who you calling a moron??

Me?

Wellll ... ok then. :oP

C'mon ... let's go the profile page and write 'stuff'. >:o) (<--- JOKe, it's a JOKe people.)

Sorry she was so spiteful & petty Sam.

And that is why we have the voting booth now.. because of these "lovely" people... unfortunately she got Sams pic in the VB which was unlucky..

Well there's no guarantee that she actually got it at all... in any case, I thought the best way to deal with it might be a bit of public shaming. Hopefully now she'll go away... or start being sensible for real...

Here's hoping nelliedelephant has packed her trunk.

Appalling behaviour.

I read this thread and all I can do is shake my head at such a childish response. My response is, thank you, Sam, and thanks to the other mods as well, for all the work you do in keeping a semblance of sanity at caedes. I believe this is the point where Keith will probably jump in again.

aww...thats sad man!

I like that wallpaper :) Nellie the elephant should be 'banned' if u ask me. Its just not right

You're right, it isn't right but I don't think you can get banned for being petty. I agree with Sam & just hope that she'll read this thread & learn some manners. I'm not holding my breath but hey.... you never know.

(*struts around like a rooster*)

~peeks back in~

Hey!! A chicken dinner!!!!

~grabs the owd axe and takes after the fowl~

Dibs on the drumsticks and the liver!!

Weirdly, it always seems to be the ones who steal others images and then get all bent out of shape playing the innocent victim when they get discovered and their images get trashed. That or they just start behaving like their mental age is somewhere in the region of their shoe size.

Wow, those are some really small shoe sizes! 8•P

Huh. Must not be married or have any kids... I hear when you have kids your feet get bigger.

They do??? guess mine must have been hatched then.. lol.. but i do have eyes in the back of my head..
