How do you think the Moderators do their job?
I personally am getting tired of them acting like Police instead of just monitoring the site. I just started a thread about the outcome of the Super Bowl and David Agar had the nerve to just lock it down because the game was over. Others were reflecting on the game and I guess he didn't like it so he ended it. He must be a Steeler Fan!
I think the moderators are overstepping there authority and reading between the lines on the RCU rules. Where does it say we can't talk about things other than building. Every holiday season someone posts Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas and just because they come and go the moderators don't lock them down. I don't care if I get kicked off this rediculous site because it makes me SICK and I think the moderators are power hungry and STINK!

RE: How do you think the Moderators do their job?
Honestly right before you posted this I was wondering why there was a Super Bowl thread in a Warbird forum.
There are enough useless threads, like this one, that get started on here. I wish they would do more to put threads in their proper place.
Football threads should be in the "Off Topic" forum.

We're sorry if you feel you were infringed upon, but if you have ever read the [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_377662/tm.htm]RCU Rules of posting[/link], you will see that the second section is:
TOPICS OF DISCUSSION:
Although discussion forums encourage a wide range of opinions, please keep your posts focused on the topic of the thread and related to the forum you are submitting your message.
• RCUniverse's chosen language is English. All other languages are subject to removal.
• Each forum has a different topic, so what is appropriate in one forum or thread may not be appropriate in another.
• RCUniverse.com is focused on R/C. Accordingly, topics must remain R/C related.
• We do not permit political, social, religious, or other off-topic discussions. There are many places online to express your opinions on issues outside of RC so "RC" Universe is designed to be a place to talk just about RC.
That said, do we let some stuff slide? Yes - As you said, we do not want to act like Police, however, that's exactly what we are. We are here to "police" the site and see to it that the rules are followed. I saw that Super Bowl thread and seriously considered locking it, but I decided to let it slide. Dave felt otherwise. Why? I don't know. Maybe he IS a Steelers fan, but whatever the case, he was correct in doing what he did.

Status: online I don't wish to offend anyone BUT!!! we keep reading the same old things over and over and over again. I am getting so bored with certain threads not to mention Yeah another TF GS P-47 build and TF GS Corsair Group build where everybody mosty are just talking about nonsense or in circles Like Dorothy in the TWISTER on The Wizard of OZ. " Auntie Em it's a twister, it's a twister, and I just killed the wicked witch . Now I'm after wicked threads. BEWARE!!! Use a PM or an email instead of taking up the first page with your idle gossip and save the page for new threads and something that hasn't gone on thru 3 presidents. nYou know what I mean something that is important and interesting. I hope noboy was offended by this thread and if you were then go to a different one.
JMHO,
Barry

RE: How do you think the Moderators do their job?
I singed onto this site to talk and learn about rc plane , not football , debates on arf , time to build and all the drama .
If we stick to the title of the website , we would not even need mods . RCUNIVERSE keep it simple , leave the drams on "ladys.com"

If that wasn't enough, he started another one about 2.4 radios in the "Warbird" forum even though there is a very, very good section on everything to do with radios already.
