Early this year, a new subforum in "infrastructure & mobility" opened, it's called highways & autobahns. There is some problems with moderation, because there is a total lack of it. Some threads completely derail because of trolling, offtopic skybar-ish talk, well, everything that has to be moderated isn't moderated by the current mods of infrastructure & mobility. User Verso, and i already PM-ed Jan about this, but no response so far, so i try it here.

Maybe the mods of infrastructure & mobility aren't interested in the subforum, that's no problem, but it would be nice to appoint one or two users as a mod for this subforum.

Some mods post there, but they are from different subforums, and have no moderating-rights here.

Every thread is spoiled with a subject called "the Struma motorway", a 25km long road as average as it can get, but some people have to mention it everywhere. Another thread was finally closed by a mod, but it took 6 pages or 102 posts to get this far.

Thanks.

^ I confirm. Beside that, one of the moderators - asohn (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/member.php?u=12319) - hasn't been online for 7 months, and the last time (s)he made a post was 1 year ago.

Amen Chris, it detracts from an otherwise great forum....

i also vote for new mods, we should propose them inter nos because we know who are competent people for that

As long as we don't offend other forum members, lack of mods in not persistent.
We are from different countries, and until now there are no holy wars or quarrels like, for exmple, between football fans.
But sometimes someone with power to change or delete stoopid or offensive post, move post to right thread or send private message with threat of brig or ban, would be necessary.

Just PM me next time there's a problem

Just PM me next time there's a problemBy saying "problem", what exactly do you mean by that? There's just too much off-topic, trolling, rude posts to report them every time these individual "problems" occur. For me, this whole lack of moderation is a big problem.

I'd also prefer an own moderator for this subforum. Someone who is reguarly in this subforum what means he knows the active members there good enough to take right decisions. And there are some people which could do that.

i also haven't noticed current moderators to make some actions about insulting there :ohno:

I think Verso has earned the right to be mod there.

^ Thank you. :) However, I'd like to cooperate with Chriszwolle.

I agree. I don't think the present mods knows what is going on in the subforum, i've never seen one posting.

you both have my vote ;)


(what a rhymes :D :D)

UP WITH NEW MODS!

... it would be nice to appoint one or two users as a mod for this subforum.
...
that's a good idea! I agree with that.

BTW. in polish subforum "Roads Infrastructure" we've created 'supervisory board'. A few people suggest to a mod the best solutions (names, etc.).
It works ;)

Verso for mod!

someone who starts theads against other suers isn´t the right person for becoming a mod.

STURMA MOTORWAY, what is this? :lol::lol:Everyone is mentioning this "famous "Sturma motorway:lol::lol::lol:

Where is the point??

BTW: I ALSO VOTE FOR VERSO!

^ It's Struma, you should know it by now. :D :lol:

Hvala, rekec! :) Thanks also to x-type, BiH-x and Realek. ;)

I'm not contributing much here (lack of time), but I read a lot...


Verso, Chriszwolle and Alex Von Königsberg seem most knowledgeable and best suited. Anyone of them will make a great mod I'm sure.


Verso my friend, I couldn't give my support only to you, it would have been too eurosongish :tongue2: :lol:

I support the cause. Really.

No need for new mods. Its fine as it is.

^^ Huh? Not really...

No need for new mods. Its fine as it is.

we can give you hunderds of proves for new mods. can you prove us somehow that we don't need them?

I haven't said anything yet, but as you can see from my signature, I'm actively suporting this! :okay:

No need for new mods. Its fine as it is.

same here

I wonder how much longer this thread will keep being ignored. :|

Hope it gets ignored forever. Not every section needs mods. I think members can mod themselves quite well. Most discussions are focused and the occasional fun thread like "Struma" is acceptable.

Just PM me next time there's a problem

tubeman, there's also lack of moderation in the asian forums particularly the urban discussions. I guess no one is assigned there, old city vs city threads are being revived there.

same here

Yeah right, so you can keep doing this?

Verso is dumb

your Autobahns have awful pavment.

you´re probably one of the stupiest people in the whole forum, you have no certenty of intelligence at all man, you can be proud of that.

Hey guys, stop it please, if not I´ll spam every of your threads, okay?
^^ :bash::nuts:

Seriously, either the subforum gets new moderators, or I'll leave it. And one of the two will happen very soon.

Excuse me, you opened a spam thread by yourself. Remember this thread against Radi? Not very mature.

I think you desperately want to become a moderator, thats all.

^^He was not even the one who started the thread.

What I don't understand is why you desperately want the section to continue without moderation.

Because it works.

^^Works? With problems... which would be solved by the presence of moderators.

Excuse me, you opened a spam thread by yourself. Remember this thread against Radi? Not very mature.

I think you desperately want to become a moderator, thats all.Excuse me, goschio, but I've been here for a year and a half, and not ONCE expressed a desire of becoming a moderator. Of course, given the fact that it's high-time for getting new mods there, I'd like to become one, yes. You obviously don't know my contribution to the subforum; for starters I suggest you to take a ride on Slovenian highways. (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=451101)

About that thread about radi, I'm very surprised you weren't amused by it. You say we're always too much on topic.

If you see radi act up like that again let me know.

It takes cooperation from everyone to keep that forum running smoothly, if you see something that needs attention let moderation know.

SSC is huge and it's hard to keep an eye out for everything, we love when forumers assist us in cleaning up, generally those are the forumers that are chosen as moderators when it is neccesary. :)

If you see radi act up like that again let me know.

It's not enough for you? Calling everyone around him "idiots, morons, whoresons, fucking imbeciles, dumbers" etc., is not enough for you? The guy needs to get banned immediately! And it's not just that; the subforum needs constant moderation also for other reasons; I believe you as moderator know them. Or you just wanna stay a moderator of a subforum you pay zero attention to?

i don't understand few things: current mods are not writing at some sections at all, and they are against new mods. there are some people (including me) who spend few hours per day only at motorways section. and then comes somebody and say that Radi is innocent and we are bloody bastards when we spam (it's even not spam, it's chatting) at single thread. and Radi could be glorified and saint at the end because we're sick of quoting his insults and rude words. and all that just because those "mods" don't know what is actually going on there. what a competetive moderators!

Hello, i'm back.
Speaking of lack of mods. I also vote for Verso and Chriszwolle. They both visit forum everyday, especially our part. Chris is a mod at forum.autosnelwegen.nl, so he has enough experience to mod our forum. Verso posts in many threads, he has big knowledge and current review, what's going on and so he could be great mod.
I haven't seen to much Alex Von Königsberg's posts, and i don't know him very well, but if you say, he could be a mod, that's ok for me.

Stop using radi as the example "Oh Rdis the great devil blah blah blah..." look he can't go on like that but a full time ban?

Nephasto, Verso DID start the Radi therad.

^^Yes, I was talking about this thread here.

I'm not here supporting the ban of Radi.. just the introduction of mods so that (among many other things) Radi started behaving well.

Verso, Chriszwolle and Alex Von Königsberg seem most knowledgeable and best suited. Anyone of them will make a great mod I'm sure.

Don't make him mod, he'll force the metric system on everyone! :lol:

And I wasn't freaking out. I can still easily say you pay close to zero attention to a subforum you're a moderator in. Does it make you feel proud? I know for myself I wouldn't wanna be a mod anywhere else but in Highways & Autobahns, not even in the whole Infrastructure & Mobility subforum. And what's with asohn (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/member.php?u=12319)? Is he declared saint? He hasn't been online for 7 months, someone could easily replace him.

As for radi6404, once his brig expires I'm sure he'll continue doing trouble, as he just doesn't seem to understand what's wrong with his posts. The subforum needs constant moderation and you know it.

Hello, thanks for fellow Mods and Admins for ofering to make me the Highway & Autobahn Section Mod soon.

(To be honest i've never heard of you).

Yeah, me neither. :nuts:

You might want to visit more than once a week I think.

Anyways, congrats.

The weirdest ppl get to be mods these days. Why give it to someone for whom it would be an extra responsibilty instead of a regular visitor? Seems the Highways and Autobahns section gets shafted all the time.



Relating to that earlier discussion on the metric system, there is already a thread on it(sort of :D) http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=215499&page=9

That should answer everyone's questions.

Congratulations Fusionist :cheers:
I've seen Your history, and i see You are not a motorway specialist, so You will have a lot work to do. First to get to know us and second to clean this mess.
I wish You good luck.

That's like me becoming mod in the Israeli Skybar.

Well, excellent then. Here we have a truly unbiased moderator :yes:

Oh well... I'm not particularlly pleased with the decision, but let's give Fusionist a chance.

and who you are? it would be very nice to make us know something about you.


btw, people, why are you congratulating him? are we fighting for another stranger and non sense mod there?! i can openly tell you that you're not welcome to moderate motorways yet (if you prove youself in posting there and prove us that you're really person who likes and knows motorways, then we can consider about you, too).

Chris & Verso for mods!!!!

We are congratulating, because rules of politeness demand to do that.

Now i see three things, that can cause problems:
1. reading his posts i see he is not interested in motorways;
2. even he says he is not a regular guest at this subforum, he declared to visit us at least once a week (!!!), but in other forums he also posts not to often, so we may think, his activity is not to big;
3. as i suspect, he is not european (that is not a charge or objection, just observation); most of us, with biggest activity are from Europe, so he may not understand complexity of relations (for example Poland-Germany, UK-France, former Yugoslavia) and he may not feel, that some opinions are very offensive.

But my attitude is, give Fusionist some time to show us, that he deserves to be our mod. If he doesn't - we will ask Jan or other admins to change him.

Well, excellent then. Here we have a truly unbiased moderator :yes:

Yeah, it's like making you a moderator in the Bolivian subforums...

No offense to Fusionist, but making someone a mod of a subforum he never posted in, doesn't makes us think this problem is taken seriously.

Maybe it's time for Fusionist to tell something about himself, and explain how he is thinking to moderate the subforum by visiting once a week, when there are over a thousand unread posts each time he checks.

Yeah, he definitely should be more committed than visiting once a week...if he doesnt have the time, he should give the mod status to someone who does.

We are congratulating, because rules of politeness demand to do that. .

the hell with politness while it can only enlarge our problem! come on people, think rational! we allready have 5 mods who are there only to fullfill the moderator places, and we've been very polite to them. now we wanna changes and there is no place for politeness while we're trying to solve problem of unfunctional moderators. we can put moderator only to be polite, but in 4 months we'll again open a thread like this and ask for revolution.

i see that Chris understands the problem

Welcome Fusionist, nice to meet you! Please answer these standard questions in order for us to get to know you better! Extra emphasis to be put on question 7. (:

Small questionnaire:
1. What car do you drive.
2. What camera do you use.
3. Your favourite road.
4. The worst road you've ever driven.
5. Places worth visiting in your country.
6. Places worth visiting in your city.
7. Why Struma motorway is the best in the world?
.

Cheers

Right, 7th question will be a good test. If You pass this test, You will be a great mod :)

alright, I never realised there would be such comments against me while I am merely accepted my duties. I take it some of you are forumers who post in the highway forum ? Give me some time to catch up.

Alright I admit I am not that familiar with the Struma Highway. I think it is in Europe ?

Wow, I missed an entire thread :( I hope that Fusionist will make a good moderator in our subforum, but frankly, someone who is not a frequent visitor to Highways and Autobahnen will have a hard time finding trolling and off-topics.

ok, i'll get softer and i'll give him a chance, too. but i'm still suspicious about all this things.
the worst what i'm affraid of is the thing if he'll not be able to differentiate good and bad offtopic and chatting. there are some occasions when chatting is good, interesting, producting and non malicious. so, i deeply hope new mod will addapt well without any problems and misunderstandings. although i think it will not be that easy. but anyway, good luck - to him and to us

I started new thread "Book of complaints, requests and motions". We will post there, what's on our mind. I hope this will be good way to get in touch with Fusionist.

Keep your comments here please where they belong ;) -- Fusionist is not the candidate I was referring to -- give it some time but I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised who is chosen so relax. :)

I don't think Fusionist will have a lot of work. The Highway forum is pretty clean.

^ Do you live in utopia?

Keep your comments here please where they belong ;)

Ok, we will, but can someone (Rainier, Fusionist or someone else) stick this thread then? And change its name

If you need to speak with moderation PM them when you have something that needs attention.

If a seperate sub-forum needs to be created the administation and moderation team will make that decision.


I am pleasantly surprised that so many of you care about that sub-forum -- almost like a family :) -- and that is a great sign of success for SSC -- I will make sure that your sub section is taken care of in the best way possible and with the appropriate moderation team to support you.

Thanks

Sending PM to moderator has one big disadvantage.
None, except mod, can get to know, what's on others mind - which opinions, conclusions and sentences are not welcome. Some sentences, that i think are neutral, people from other countries may find offensive.
Posting problems on public forum, we can debate about them.

In polish subforum we have two threads: Book of complaints and Book of brigs and bans. So we can guess, why some decisions are made.

Maybe it is not the best example, but i don't know (and many family members :) either), why Radi6404 is in the brig - which post tipped the balance, and when his brig will end.

Of course i know, there's no democracy on SSC... :(

So, then...??? radi for mod?

Why don't we simply close that whole section.
After all, this is a skyscraper forum

Wow! Some of you guys have been realy mean to Fusionist!

Why don't we simply close that whole section.
After all, this is a skyscraper forum

You mean the whole infrastrcuture forum with bridges and tunnels and airports and ships/harbours? And to continue: every skybar including its subparts for military issues, sports, news or whatever? the travel forum with nature photos and similar threads in the general photography section? Low rise architecture and sport arenas?

^^ The way i see it, this forum is not only about skyscrapers, but urbanity in general. Motorways/freeways are a part of urbanity.

Yeah, it's like making you a moderator in the Bolivian subforums...

No offense to Fusionist, but making someone a mod of a subforum he never posted in, doesn't makes us think this problem is taken seriously.

I don't really want to rub it in but your poor command of the English language would be one reason why you shouldn't be the moderator.

I don't really want to rub it in but your poor command of the English language would be one reason why you shouldn't be the moderator.There's nothing wrong with his English, we all understand everything he says.

Don't pay attention to him, he don't like me because i drive a car or something :dunno:

Great idea. This is the best solution. We won't make problems anymore, ask for mod and for anything else.

But is it really what we need?

Is this forum just for mods? If they loose a will to work on it, forum will be closed?

I hope your opinions were just gloomy jokes.

Why don't we simply close that whole section.
After all, this is a skyscraper forum

Yeah, great idea! Just because it doesn't interest you doesn't mean it's not popular, you selfish fool. There are a lot of active users, though maybe not as much as in other subforums, but still a lot. There's a need for (more) moderation, not for a war. :ohno:

Why don't current moderators simply read the Highway&Autobahn section for just one or two weeks actively, let's say, at least an hour a day? I don't think there's a need to vote; after all we're 'just' users. But the current moderation obviously doesn't have a clear view on what's happening in this section. If they would have that, they could easily see who would be suitable for being a moderator and who not. After that the 'old' moderators can ignore (again) this section, since they don't seem to like it.

Not insulting Fusionist, but someone who's never been in this section, only superficially something knows about European highways, and only planning to visit it once a week, I don't think that's realistic. There's a need for at least one european moderator, since most of the topics are about European highways. And I think a bit knowledge about highways would be nice too, I guess... I have preferences for some people, but it's not my, nor other users, choise. Let the current moderation observate the current things in the H&A section, and let them come out with one or more realistic moderators. (I personally think that just one wouldn't be enough...)

One more day has gone by, and I knew I had to respond. So here I am. Yours truly. Fusionist, or as some know me.. Fusi. They asked me..what do I know about highways ? am I a 'specialist' ? what car do I drive ? what is my favourite motorway ? so on and on.. the criticisms mounted. The gleam of the computer scream ( which is often beckoning ) suddenly wanst so appealing. To respond, or not to, the debate that I had for the past 24 hours.

The yesterday night misery. the question.. what car do you drive Fusionist ?? Pangs of guilt. Reality bites. Shame. Frustration, how can I tell them ?? ( thats when the little voice popped up..'fusi, fusi' it hissed in my ears.. don't tell them. Pretend.. it said..PRETEND !! pretend as if you know..but then I stirred in bed...past the lampshades in the dimmed up cozy room the computer screen glowed. I had forgotten to off the computer ! The condmning words wehre right there in front of me.. glwoing in the dark 'what car do you drive Fusionist ?' it asked. 'What do you know about the Struma highway " it challenged ?? I stirred in bed. OMG it was 2 30 am !!

The early morning blues..alarm rings. I get up and on my way to work to catch the train. The mobile phone rings. Its my friend. THe text message screams..'i am on my way north. hitting the M1 evening. take care xx ( name withheld for privacy reasons )..I was relieved. Glad she remembered me. Then it stuck... did she say.. M1 ?????? the motorway ?? the little voice in my head again 'what is the worst highway you have driven?'..'what is your favourite highway ?'...I oop into the closest corner shop and ask for Paracetamol. My head is pounding.... thankfully I manage to board the train...

Not so good noon... at work. 12 30 pm. Lunch. I look out of the window. Lovely view of the London skyline. I sit back and relax. Then the little voice.. skyline... skyscrapers... SSC..OMG !! then the little voice... 'fusi you forgot something ?" it laughed at me. "you have questios to answer Fusi. There are people out there waiting... real people. People who love highways, they need you.. log in". I look left and right.. do I take a risk and log in from work ??? do I not ??... the little voice screams in my ears..."how many days in a week can you spend for our highway and autobahns fusi ? how many days in a week ??

...then a little girls appears in my vision...a sweet little girl of 10 with blond hair and blue eyes in a red dress. She is in the middle of a highway.. with cars screaming past her.. she raises both her hands and pleads to me 'Fusi please please help me.. I need you" I gag myself from screaming... god please show me mercy !

Evening and everything ok ? NOT. THe return journey home.. in a train. Not a car. THe train chugs along the tracks overtaking the tiny little cars in thier tiny little roads stuck in a traffic jam. Pangs of guilt. 'what is the worst highway you have driven Fusi?' the question... I cry. How can I tell them...

7 30 pm. I have alrteady taken 4 paracetamol for the day. Opening my room....the computer screen gleams, welcoming me as if t osay' ahh.. there you are Fusi.. I caught you now'. And it was right. I knew I had to do it. Then the little voice returns 'unplug the power fusi' it offers... then a booming voice from the back of my head.."Mr. Fusionist arent you a Mod.. dont you have a responsibility.? Be an adult and tell them.. tell them you resign". I am almost in tears by now...

8 40 pm. Resign did it say ? I was so angry.. why should i ? just cos I didnt know the Struma highway ?? na. I am sure I am a good Mod. and can do the sub-forum a great favour by managing it well. I inch towards teh computter screen to type... then the phone rings.. so I walk away..

8 55pm. I decided to bite the bullet and get away saving my skin. I pray to God and try log in determined to ask the Admins to releive me and asign a Mod who is more familiar with the sub-forum.. but strangely the interent connection is off..

9 45 pm. The connection is back. I decide against it. Why should I ? I am a moderat voice and how can they dump me without trying me ? After all I need a fair call. After all how do I know a replacement Mod would do the job better ? Also as a new Mod I am unbiased. Let me just finish the dinner and tell them who is boss.

10 10pm. I log in but have few emails to check.. double minded..let SSC wait..

Come on, Fusi... these questions about car, camera and motorways are nothing personal. This is standard questionnaire, and everyone (including me) filled that. You can read answers in http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=540683. Only meaning of this, is to get to know something about other users. it's voluntary, don't answer, if You, don't want to.

And don't be affraid, we agreed to give You extra time to read some other threads, get to know us.

oh the drama...

we just want a mod, if you're it - then get to work.

Nice, its like kindergarten here. LOL

oh no, it is not that simple. I have been depressed becasue of this issue and my doctor has prescribed me Prozac and 10 hours sleep per day for the next few weeks. I feel a bit dizzy but am recovering. When I get back my strength I will act on the requests made to me ie. forum name change, locking of threads, complain thread, ban request etc.

Don't you think you're a little exagerating...?

:lol:

Why don't we simply close that whole section.
After all, this is a skyscraper forum

knowing you and some of your moves - you're not joking at all. you probably haven't heard about rising, for instance, rising of the forum. skyscrapercity maybe used to be forum only about skyscrapers, but is it still reserved only for that? imagine this forum with discussions only about skyscrapers. would it be that famous as it is?

Don't you think you're a little exagerating...?

Fully agree with u ... It is such an unnecessary thread :D

I see very interesting thing in a frame under table of contents: Moderators: 5 - asohn, Tubeman, baqthier, Rainier Meadows, jmancuso

So, is Fusionist our official moderator or what the hell is going on?

This forum is a real mess... Augean stables or what?

It is such an unnecessary thread :D

It's not unnecessary at all. It's badly needed. Current moderation just don't seem to take it seriously, since they even ignore most of the reactions in this thread! I'm sorry, I can't feel sorry for Fusionist. We made our point all clear, here. I'm outta here if this stuff keeps going. (and I'm sure I'm not the only one)

^ You aren't. Cheers

That little story is awesome!!! Are you a writer or something? It was very good!

Relax. I think you need Prozac like me too ;)

nice post

:hm: You're the one who's getting depressed of the reactions here... :lol: You just obviously can't handle the criticism...

you idiot...

Hello, mod, how are you? And where are you?

Can you move posts 475-480 from http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=16479215#post16479215
to
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=491679
please??

Some other mod said Fusionist is not the one they meant. (quite confusing actually). So who is the new mod, and when do we get to meet him or her?

Tomorrow morning, ten sharp. Be there or else ..

So, I wonder when Rainier Meadows will reply?

You could post the links in those threads just like you did here.



















Anyway, I've been on the wireless with Santa, and no presents for this subforum this year. You've been bad.

It's not about posting links. I know i can do that, but i'm accustomed to mods making order in thread. Sometimes if conversation goes offtopic, we ask mods to move posts to other thread. Pasting links makes bigger mess, than it's worth. Some of us read all new messages on H&A subforum, and we can jump from thread to thread. But moving posts will make threads more clear for "guest" users.

So is anything happening here, or we'll die waiting? I expect an official statement from Rainier Meadows, Tubeman, baqthier, jmancuso or asohn.

sve ćemo lepo da zaboravimo :D

Rainier Meadows, Tubeman, baqthier, jmancuso and asohn are lousy mods and don't even deserve to be called like that. You don't possibly think you'll stay on your cozy positions after the revolt breaks out? Believe me, we'll do everything to kick you out of here. ;)

^^ Don't say that, it's unfair. I see this subforum is under full control of Rainier Meadows. He just closed thread "SSC not a democracy....my bad" ;)

I meant Highways & Autobahns of course. These guys have inferiority complex, as being mod is the only goal in their lives. They must be proud of themselves. ;-)

"Lack of moderation" - which incidently is incorrect, moderation is the process of becoming modest, it should read "lack of moderating" - and "as being mod is the only goal in their lives" are contradictory!

When you complain that "as being mod is the only goal in their lives", you ought to be relieved with this "lack of moderating".

The highway forum is fine. No problem at all.

^^ Your last posts fit the definition of a forum troll. :D

It's called tactics. :cheers:

I visit the highway forum regularly but don't post so much. From my experience it works just fine as it is. Almost every thread and post is on topic and people are really interested in highways and individual transportation.

But who's gonna change it? This place is forgotten by mods and we don't have power to do it... :(

Cheers to 3,000 views, an unbelievably high number! :cheers2:

And at least 13 times this thread was viewed by mods... :lol:

BTW: I've heard, that Jan has a filter, that informs him always whenever his name is written somewhere.
So, all together: Jan, do something!

And at least 13 times this thread was viewed by mods... :lol:

How do you know that?

Mods posted 13 times :)

But frankly, had nothing to say :(

Hello mr Mod. How are you?

Now it's 14. :banana:

Hello mr Mod.Fusionist can moderate Sri Lankan and British highways, but other than that I wonder if he knows what "Autobahn" means. :)

I for one aren't familiar with numbers greater than 10, so I'm giving you credit for that! :yes:

From now on, i'm gonna withdraw - not post on international subforum, not even read others posts. In a real world i've got a lot work to do. I am an old man with serious social position. This forum is only (?) my hobby. And hobby should give a pleasure. If number of my posts on single thread means more than it's contents, i don't have any pleasure posting here anymore. Maybe i should really learn Dutch and join autosnelwegen?
Goodbye, it was a great honour to talk to (in any order) Chris, Verso, X-type, Jeroen, Rawlee, Cborg, David, Nephasto, Kiwikaas, Keeber, Wyqtor, DFM, Patrick and everyone i missed. Special thanks to Radi.

If anything changes - just PM me and i'm back.

One more issue. Meaning of my signature. It is quotation from a song. Translated it means something like that:
And i tell you, all these who are in power, make mess and wallow in this mess,
And i tell you, let anyone who is in power, always, always fill you with disgust.

It is self-irony.

See (read?) you.

Welcome to Skyscrapercity-kindergarten. :banana:

You're obviously the little child here, if you really think the post of pmaciej is funny. You're really a prove why there's more moderation needed. It's a bad thing users like you can't take this seriously. It's even a worse thing that mods can't take this seriously...

Feel like complaining? All in moderation, please!

I quit too.

Ur pathetic..

I am not quitting, however i think Fusionist approach (is he a H&A mod or not?) to the users is kind of childish. We just asked for a little moderating in the subforum, and all we get is this after a few weeks.

I just don't think this issue is taken serious enough.

^^Indeed.
I'd say there's childness on both parts. ;)

From the moderators part and also from the users who say they are going to quite, just because there's a lack of moderation in the forum. It's not like the forum is destroyed by trolls or anything... :nuts:

Well I don't know how else this issue will get resolved. :nuts:

Het is goed met je, Eus...

Ok everyone -- administration has been made aware of everyones needs and wants.

If they feel that an additional moderator is needed on the highway forums it will be done.

Please PM any additional commentary about this subject matter directly to the administrators of SSC.

In the mean time the world moderation team will be the go to team for the Highway forum.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. :)
