In the interest of being open & transparent, would all Mods please record any Moderator actions they take (locking, deleting, warning, moving, etc) here. This thread is for recording the actions only, and not for discussing them.

Jack White posts and quotes removed due to violation of rule (iv) - questioning the motives of a poster:

Thread: "WTC7 Controlled Demolition, described by witnesses"

URL: http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.ph...60&start=60

(iv) Members should not make personal attacks on other members. Nor should references be made to their abilities as researchers. Most importantly, the motivations of the poster should not be questioned. At all times members should concentrate on what is being said, rather than who is saying it.

Removed accusations of motives and impropriety from this post:

Deleted thread entitled "Overkill" as it did not actually raise any topic for discussion that would be permitted on this forum, was merely a complaint in some ways (use the complaints thread), and was developing into a thread which contained nothing but bickering and insults at one another.

Hi Evan
Please rest assured that I have a log of all admin and moderator actions without this thread. No moderator should feel they have to justify their actions.
You are trusted and valued members of an unpaid and much appreciated team.

Duane's warning level is increased to 30% for continued abuse towards other Forum members:

If you ever posted anything besides projection , insults , lies , or lectures , then I might have taken you a bit more seriously ... As it is , all you prove is just how nasty you really are .

I have friends who read your posts here to me , and they keep telling me to walk away from this forum because of members like you .. In fact , a few of them have told me that they think you're insane ... I think they're right .

You would rather die than to admit that even one of the Apollo photos is anomalous or suspicious in any respect .. and considering how many of them are anomalous and suspicious , I find that downright dishonest and deceptive .

All narcissistic craig cares about is people praising him for his photography ... But maybe it's a good thing that he at least can take pretty pictures , cuz I doubt he's good for much else ... Except being a jerk on discussion forums maybe .

...he's just one little egotistical photographer living in the boondocks of the midwest ... Otherwise known as Jumpoff Place , Indiana .

So Craig's unkind remark, claiming that I rely on the statements of people like White and Percy to think for me , is a lie .

All Craig has done by starting this thread is to continue to character assassinate Jack and David with his game of "one up" on the conspiracy researchers and has reminded us all what a mean and hateful little man he really is ( as if any of us needed reminding ) .. For a guy who's in his 50's , this game is very immature .

Just put him under permanent moderation - he has done enough to deserve it - if then he still doesn't comply to guidelines then we will delete his membership

Evan Burton

Duane,

I have been considering your position, and I will retract the warning level I put onto you. This will reduce you back to 20%, but it is on the understanding - and this applies to everyone - curb your insults. If you want to express your disapproval of someone, then do so in a civil manner.

People will receive one public warning (so that other may see what I am considering acceptable and not acceptable). If you do not take heed, your warning level will be increased. The public warning will be on the thread where the infraction occurs, the raising of your warning level will be record in this thread.

If you believe the public warning is unwarranted, then please note this in the complaints thread. I will then ask other moderators to review the decision. Same with raising of the warning level - if you disagree, note it in the complaints thread and other moderators will review the decision.

Once again - this applies to everyone. If you think that I have stepped over the line, then report me using the "REPORT!" button on the bottom left-hand corner of the post. This will notify ALL mods, and another moderator will consider if I have breeched standards of civility.

Lastly, may I repeat what I have said elsewhere: attack the message, not the messenger.

Thread entitled "Replying to Daman reinstated after my email to Simkin" locked.

I have locked the topic "Dont know whats going on here" It was becoming a dumping ground for personal attacks of the usual childish nature.

Evan Burton

Oct 2 2007, 11:06 AM

Deleted additional thread "The Pinay Circle". One had already been posted, no noticeable difference between them, so the latter was deleted.

Evan Burton

Oct 8 2007, 12:33 PM

An image posted in this post was deleted at the request of the photographer, as no permission was gained for its use.

QUOTE

Hi Evan,
I object to Damon's use of one of my images to spread his <opinions with which I disagree>, particularly as he hasn't even bothered crediting it. If it is within your power to remove the image and details from this post: http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.ph...st&p=121736 I would be gratefully if you would do so. If Damon wishes to link to the post at ApolloHoax.net then he is free to do so, as this will give people a chance to see the image in the context in which it was intended.

Thank you,
Waspie_Dwarf
(ps If you do remove the image you have my permission to reproduce this PM to explain your action)

I have locked the thread Coincidence or Conspiracy.

It was IMHO, not a political conspiracy, it was also attracting the usual Ad-Homs, from the usual suspects.

IF ANOTHER THREAD OF THIS PERSONEL NATURE IS OPENED, REST ASSURED, I SHALL REMOVE IT.

STEVE.

Evan Burton

Oct 20 2007, 11:23 PM

In this post, Duane has accused me of altering an image posted by him.

The specific phrase was: "You didn't by any chance "fix" that image for me , did you Evan ?"

Normally complaints go into the complaints thread.

If you have an accusation of a serious nature such as this (a moderator tampering with a post that is not part of their normal moderation duties), then bring it to the attention of John or Andy via PM as soon as possible. John and Andy will check the security logs and advise you.

Do NOT make a public accusation such as the above.

Duane is formally warned.

Evan Burton

Oct 21 2007, 05:43 AM

Edited this post by Craig to remove an offensive accusation. Gave warning that any repeat of the behaviour would result in an increase in warning level.

Evan Burton

Oct 21 2007, 10:21 PM

Increased Craig's warning level due to repeated accusation, as warned not to above.

Evan Burton

Oct 24 2007, 09:57 PM

I will be resuming moderator duties with regard to Jack's posts.

Evan Burton

Oct 25 2007, 12:50 PM

Removed section of this post which I felt was could have been seen as abusive towards another Forum member.

Four posts on this page of the Defense Historians Document 9/11 Pentagon Attack thread set to invisible. The posts belong to, and reason for are:

Jack White - Questioning the motives of a poster
Peter Lemkin - Quoting Jack's post, and also questioning the motives of a poster
Charles Drago - Trying to circumvent the rules, accusing Len of being untruthful
David G. Healy - Quoting Charles' post

David, if you are happy for me to remove Charles' quote from your post, I'll set it visible again. That was the only problem with it.

The remainder will be brought to the attention of other moderators to review my actions.

Evan Burton

Jul 16 2008, 09:26 AM

David G. Healy's warning level has been raised for continuing to make unprovoked insults at other members.
