Guys -

As mods, we KNOW that everyone here loves Adam (or ya wouldn't be here!) but we try to be sensitive to the fact that many people on the board are very busy and have limited time. Ergo, when misinformation goes out we do out best to nip it in the bud.

Nearly always, the misinformation is totally innocent. [grins] Therefore, no one is "mad" that the information was posted here. We just wanna make sure its correct.

[leans back and laughs] The thing that a lot of peeps don't realize, that if you're here long enough, at SOME point in time you're gonna get modded. EVERY single person whose been here long enough - INCLUDING every single mod (!!) - has been modded. It happens. May not even have anything to do with what you, personally, have said, but at times a topic is going to be closed for various reasons. For those of us who started in the pressure cooker of mj's where ridiculous modding was the daily norm, we're pretty "eh" about being modded. It was so freaking frequent that poofed posts didn't warrant anything more than a shrug and the occasional teeth grit when something you worked hard on vanished arbitrarily. Here, since we intentionally try to keep the modding low, people get a little shocked when it happens.

That said, ATOP is not a mod-free zone. When that happens, you get the comments section of EW or Yahoo, where good, intelligent commentary vanishes under nasty, hurtful sleaze. The mod team makes sure that doesn't happen here. As one of the founding precepts, we also try to keep mutual respect at the forefront, which is why the "no telling other members what to post" rule exists.

So, at the end of this long winded discussion, I just want to say that the occasional modding should not be taken personally. We know that just about everyone here means well. [grins] We just wanna make sure the board runs smoothly for everyone in all their abilities to Adam-stan, so occasionally we step in.

Oh, btw, [does fake newscaster voice] this message is just a public service announcement, [goes back to regular voice] its not an invitation to discuss modding, as modding questions - as always - should be address to the mod board. If you have a general question that you want answered at the first available opportunity, just click the "Report to Mod" button at the bottom of each post. It sends out a "Bat-Signal" that every single mod can see when they log in, and the first one who shows up can answer.

Now back to the Adam stanning!!!!!

[goes back to RL to deal with a teleconference]


Q3 comment: My comment was NOT directed at Melliemom but at the idea that replaying NCOE Music Video on VH1 would help Adam. Melliemom did NOT originate this idea. It is all over the web -- and who knows who started it. BUT what I do know is that replay NCOE on VH1 is not a worthwhile thing to spend time on. If Adam wants us to do that, he will tweet about it.

Now really back to Adam.
