It's a banana board. We all came here for the same reason, to talk about, share, and learn about bananas.

I've been getting personal messages from long-time members of the site who are also worried about this.

I unapproved those posts that were directly starting a flame war or a possible other form of war. And those posts that quoted these posts.. so that the potential ticking bomb is not to be read (even if the own content of the quoting post was not in a violation of the rules).

Everybody, I couldn't watch this "problem" evolve from the beginning, so I can't say much about which side has the truth, nor do I want to.

This forum is about bananas. It's everybody's right to contribute - positively or negatively - to anything here, but it MUST abide by the rules.

I notified Jarred about the situation in this thread, he will probably look into it a lot more detaily than I will.

The very real problem, people, is, that as long as somebody violates the forum rules, there's that little button on the bottom of the post. You can press it and it instantly let's me know (although it always starts ringing on my phone at 3a.m CET :/ ) if and when somebody violates the rules. Then it's up to the mods to decide whether it is a justified claim about a violation or not. No such reported post occured her, yet I see at least 2 threads completely in ruins because of people arguing here. Why?

You CAN choose what to comment on, what to post, what to react at... You MUST tolerate somebody else's opinions and beliefs and you have not right, but DUTY to ignore those you are not fond of. Critical thinking is an important concept, especially on a forum that is, from a big part, anonymous.

One more thing: I won't tolerate accusations without proofs and solid basis. Neither will I take into account feelings and rumors. That way it is possible to censore anybody. If there's a violation of any rule, let me know. If there isn't please disperse the crowd.

Closed and pending Jarred's resolution...


3 posts pending moderation.

I personally don't have the time nor the desire anymore to deal with the drama between Richard and Sherry and anyone else for that matter. I'm at my wit's end with hearing complaints and reported posts. Everyone who has a disagreement with someone else, just need to stop posting about it and IGNORE each other and just move on. Stop ****ting in everyone else's living room and take your disagreements in private, and not on this site. And stop insinuating at things and subtly antagonizing each other. Enough is enough. Richard, STOP. Sherry, STOP. Leave each other alone once and for all.
