The Right Way And the Wrong Way of Getting Answers

to your issues with our policies and/or moderation.
DO NOT: post new threads asking what happened with your thread. They will be immediately deleted without any further notification. Makes no difference if other people have commented on it.
DO: send a mod a pm using the private message feature in our profiles. If the issue is complicated or controversial, the team will discuss it before any action is taken. In clear-cut cases when our rules and policies have not been respected, a comment, a thread or part of them may be edited or deleted. The whole thread may be demoted or locked.

DO NOT: add comments to every pre-existing thread with your issues with the moderation. You may be silenced for xxxx number of minutes as a warning for continuously breaking the rules and disrespecting the policies and guidelines of this internet community.

DO: use the flag feature to get a mod's attention to offensive/off-topic comments and threads.

DO: use the "ignore" feature instead of engaging in private vendettas. We realize that not everybody can be on friendly terms with everybody else, but please, be civil and act like grownups.

I will post this on Friendly Talkzone for maximum attention and later today move it to "About PBH" forum for further discussion if any.

I will ask the question again and LOOK, I NORMALLY DON'T GET INVOLVED IN THESE ISSUES, of what is allowed or not but why is someone allowed to use the name "MODEFOQUE" ? It is crude, vulgar, rude and shows a lack of respect towards the total validity of this website and then you have moderator say....."Life is a Bitch and then you die" so if a guy makes a comment about 7 rules for dating you eliminate it? Can we say.......lack of cocnsistency?

Colombia as Colombia long before Peter ever entered the country and before PBH was ever created so all things considered I don't care.....but since I sa the post today by Zoltar I thhought I would make a noise.........over and out!

We don't choose handles for our members. We have Baby Jesus and Satan so why not Modefoque (the origin of the nickname is anecdotal and I must say that even if I'm not into vulgarity or excessively obscene language I laughed long and hard when Elmo told the story how he got the name...from a Puerto Rican lady whose daughter he was fooling around with). We haven't received any other complaints concerning that particular handle. (Yes, it's crude and vulgar, but in the context awfully funny).

Yes, I said Life is a bitch....etc I believe it's a common saying in English when people just keep on whining about nothing and finally you get totally exhausted and disgusted of hearing the whine. I'm not taking it back.

Zoltar's thread about dating rules was moved to OFF-Topic section and he was informed of the move. He chose to ignore the information he got about the way we we do things around here and wrote a bunch of complaining threads instead.

sanandressi.........what about medefokkinllin or how ever it's spelled? duh. i guess a guy/gal can call themselves shit head or 'fuck me' or 'fuck you' and it's all the same. i guess it's like tattoos. i don't have one and although i'm surprised at times at those i see, at least i don't have to wear them. nor rings in my nose, dick, eyelids or where ever. although i will admit, i've queried over 'why' one would want a ring in their vagina or the sphincter mussle of their ass. none of that registers with me. soooooo.

why modofoque? you're guess is as good as mine. do i find it in great taste...to be honest, i really hadn't thought about it...until now. and now that i do, the answer is 'no' so i guess i'm on your side. am i gonna join the club to execute these folks? nah. i just cringe a bit when i see their names. and i might add, san....there's some others. but don't pay it any 'never mind'....i'm sure that it won't get you anywhere. decisions on the part of our beloved mods are at best, a crap shoot and definitely depend on their day's mood. my girlfriend, maarit, included.

Moderators when in a bad mood, or one of those days, think twice before zapping, mutting, arguing or getting into a fist fight.

:) Douglas...perhaps not, I first saw an Italian (live) when a traveling circus came to town; I must've been around 17. There was a black person working on that circus too. My Mum warned me against these foreigners "just in case".

Oh, just because nobody reads this section.

(Yeah, Italians are pretty amusing too.) I've only met one Irish person inreal life. in a London pub. He wanted a cig and I gave him one of mine (that was before I got smart and quit) and he ripped it open and mixed the tobacco with some stuff and rolled it by hand again. he talked to me but I didn't understand a word he said. Oh dear.

BTW I've just demoted a couple of useless threads from the front page. Talk to each other, by all means, about people you'd like to beat up, but not on PBH
