"Judge people by their deeds." - Jesus

What is this? - A kindergarten?

Usually, it is the squabblers that stir the trouble and then start threatening with doing this or that. I use every opportunity to get rid of them - the place will be quieter, and good people will have a chance to, finally, take a breath of relief.
I've always been shocked how here, (in this country), one can go around and tell people, (for example), - "don't hire him/her", and start smearing a person's good name with, at times, such sick and horrible filth that one can even lose one's speech for a short while. And they do that just because they can. And as remarkable as it is, everyone believes every single slanderous filth said, AND(!!!), acts upon it!!!
I mean HOW CAN somebody just come and say don't let him/her have that, because I don't want him to, or kick him out because I want so. And the overwhelming majority of people do that - they listen to those scumbags and act upon their filth(!!!).
FUCK, LEAVE THE FUCK AWAY, MoFo! - is what I say, (I will even help you). And let the door hit you on the ass on your way out so hard that you shit bones for a week after that...


How do we distinguish, (figure, flash out), between an honorable person and a scumbag leach who had quietly rooted into a group and sucking "blood" out of everybody? - We judge people by their deeds.
An honorable man, or a woman, would never come and start talking trash and filth about ANYbody - this is the first-est sign that triggers alarm!

Throw that threatening "piss a' shit" out of your tribe and you will see how easy everyone will start breathing. I bet in some cases people will want to start posting again; or at least a little more.

Have not run into that problem directly as a moderator. I have felt that way as a member of a tribe before though. It's sad but true that one always has the option to not participate if one is not happy with another member being there. Frankly, if the conflict is not manifesting itself directly in a tribe but is being brought in from somewhere else, I'll just mention that a particular forum is not for the breathing of fire, especially if the fire is being stoked externally to the tribe I'm moderating. One thing I don't think is cool is to use someone else's forum for the purpose of blowing off steam at others for problems in real life or in other forums.

Seriously, unless that's what a forum is for (eg complaining and whining about how unfair the rest of the Internet is) a forum should be "focused" by the moderator onto the topic that the moderator wishes the forum to be about.

There are obviously some moderators that like a good brushup in their forums every now and then, some who don't really moderate much at all, and a majority who probably just try to keep things moving along with a minimum of drama? It is to dream...
