But, I would like to make note about my thread LoP moved and the thread I mentioned probably ought to be moved as well - they were announcements. Why is the AQG forum not an appropriate place for an announcement.
AQG is generally meant for:
1. Questions from members to the staff.
2. Gripes from members to the staff.
3. Announcements made by the staff to the members.
4. Petitioning for a poll, or changes of some sort by staff or members.
In Appreciate's perspective, your announcement didn't belong in AQG, but the beach since you were addressing other board members in general. That's what the beach is all about. However, what bugs me is not so much the move (which was correct by the way), it was her tone in her post to you. She made you look bad. She made it sound like you are intentionally spamming AQG and she won't tolerate it. That's some serious overreacting if you ask me.
I am not liking the Admins taking the hardball approach to this. This sort of tactic makes things worse, not better. It will only divide the board even more, and really make a mess of things if they choose to keep it up.
If anyone should have been suspended, it should have been LotS. DS got taken out for punctuation, but it's okay for LotS to write F*ck, Sh*t, and whatever else. I like the logic (or lack therof).
This is saying a lot coming from me. Those that know me over in EI know I'd defend the staff to the end. But, only if they are being mistreated or are right. In this case, they are not.
