Could you see your points on your personal page or see when they expire? I think I can safely say No and No.

There is a page in the boards somewhere that list the infractions, points, and how long they stay.

It could be brought to my attention. I can't read TR's every second of the day. Most of us moderator's have full time jobs. I need readers to help me. Many know me on the TR boards, and will notify me when something like this happens.

That is fair.

May I ask after something like this is brought to the mods attention, what the general process is? I think there are a lot of people here, with no agenda other than hoping for the safety of a child, that would like to know their legitimate concerns were addressed, and not swept away because the person being discussed is "popular" on the boards and friendly with not only other members, but mods as well.

Honestly, you really don't want to know. It is literally haunting my thoughts.

Well now I really, really want to know.

With all due respect, I would like to know why you allowed such a blatant reference to ************ on a thread? Would you be ok with someone making such references in front of your kids on Main Street USA? (If you don't know what I'm referring to, look at my posts in this thread.)

As a parent, I would never let my six year old on a message board. I'm just now allowing my 11 year old onto the computer without me being in the room with him, and we have his chat functions on his Xbox blocked unless we know he's talking to one of his RL friends. So, honestly, if the parents are allowing young children to access an anonymous message board, without going over the thread first, well, then if the kid sees a civilized discussion about a grown man molesting his sisters, that's on the parents.

This is a good questions, wince the board is supposed to be "family friendly" And wasn't that thread there for a while before people started expressing there concerns last with?

How can people get points for expressing concerns for a child and also trying to explain that you can't get green sharpie out of clothing, but someone in the TR thread call people trolls for expressing concerns only get a post on there wall asking about what they were saying?

letting the Duggar thread(s) go on way too long.

You think the Duggar thread went on too long? It was a discussion, no-one was nasty to anyone. Yes, there were a few inappropriate posts, but they could have been deleted and the discussion could have continued.

I doubt that the mods would share what they did due to privacy concerns. And remember that all of this is just about concerns so forum mods and owners would have to be cautious.

At least that's what I suspect to be true.

Hey, phorsenuf, I got caught up in the Duggar thread. Let me explain why it got closed. This is just my opinion too. If you were on mainStreet USA at WDW and you were with your small children and you were talking or discussing the Duggers and your children or grandchildren could hear everything, and I mean everything that was being discussed in detail, would you still allow them to be standing their listening? The board is a Disney Board, and the owners decided what kind of discussions are off limits and this was definitely off limits. I should have known better, but like you said, it was a current event, and shocking to all of us, just not an appropriate topic for a Disney board.

The board I moderate is the Trip reports board. I have seen some bullying on my board, not much and with the bullying comes abbreviated swear words. If someone is abbreviating swear words, to me, that is just like being on Main Street USA and swearing in front of my kids. I will give you a warning and most likely points.

I respect that this is a Disney board, and you want to keep this board family friendly. But honestly, 90% of the Duggar thread was. I won't deny that there were a few posts that were questionable, but they could have been deleted and the discussion could have continued.

And I really wonder how many kids read this board. Maybe some teenagers, but honestly, most teens know about this stuff. And if they don't, they should. So they know if they feel uncomfortable around someone, they should step away and let their parents know.

All I know is, if adult discussion gets cut off at the knees, I'll probably stop coming here.

Well now I really, really want to know.

Me too! It's like that train or car wreck saying...you want to look away but can't. Curiosity gets ya every time.
