To e-mail moderators about a specific post, you may use the NOTIFY alert button at the bottom of the post in question. To e-mail moderators directly with a message of your own, scroll down to the bottom of the forum that you are reading and find the list of mods there. Click on the name of the moderator you wish to e-mail and that moderators email address will appear.

Since the upgrade we now have the added feature which allows you to comment about why you are sending the NOTIFY alert. It does NOT provide your moderators with YOUR email address to allow them to personally respond to your alert. IF you have a question or would like a response, PLEASE include your email address with your comment. Or follow up with an e-mail directly to at least one of the moderators of the forum (preferably all of them) on which the questionable post is being made with a brief explanation as to why you are sending the alert (i.e., bad language, graphic sexuality or violence in the post, major violation of the forum rules, illegal behavior, commercial solicitation.)

I would not want to be rude and favor one particular MOD over another. You are all good. Who can control us! Hardly anyone! LOL

This made me LOL.

Stellakat, I'd appreciate it if you would e mail me.

Thanks

c00per

This really bugs me.
Her post is completely innocuous.
Why on earth would she need to communicate privately with a Moderator?

This just smacks to me of insider cliquey behavior -- and it really turns me off.

EXACTLY!!

Before you judge the mods, consider the possibility that StellaKat is being asked to email a mod because last night she made an extremely offensive, entirely unprovoked DJ and name-calling attack against the wife of another poster, which post has since been deleted by a mod, but which was very shocking to those who saw it. And what you see as "cliquey" behavior is really nothing of the sort, but may have another, entirely logical, reason behind it.

Or, it could be something completely different. Maybe an recipe exchange. In which case, it would be none of my business and I can't imagine it bothering me, and truly don't understand why it would bother someone else.

How do you know that?

There's a smiley face on that post from Cooper.

Everybody's different. I certainly appreciate that what bothers me may not bother you.

How do I know what? That she made an offensive post? Because I was reading the thread when the comment was made, made a one-sentence response to it, and got my post completely deleted for my pains, not just "edited" like the others who responded as well. And I thought what I said was very mild, being only a brief comment on a certain lack of tact displayed in what was said. As far as the smiley face, or what the mod really wanted, I have no idea. I'm just not ready to assume some nefarious purpose on the part of the mod making the request, or that I'm being somehow excluded from something that I'd really like, or deserve, to be a part of.

Believe me, I FEEL YOUR PAIN..


Like I said, I appreciate that's YOUR POV based on YOUR EXPERIENCE...mine may be different...

Most likely the mod is trying to be nice because otherwise why would anyone e-mail them back. It could be because I am about to get booted from the board. In a nice way however. Maybe my three strikes are up or something.

I am afraid to e-mail them. Should I e-mail them and find out my fate?

If it was related to that incident you described, then I would think it would have been more appropriately requested on the thread that it happened on.

This seemed to me like some friendly exchange -- with the smiley and the LOL. Then an invitation to private communication.
Just seems out-of-place to me.

I would say do what you want, Stella.

They can email you if they want to...

I say wait until you're in the mooooooooooooooooooooooooood.

I know I was feeling terrible last nite and should have not come on the board. Jerry helped me though and pointed me to God. In one Mod post, they said they had lost our e-mails and could no longer e-mail us. Is that true?

Can you see i am trying to get in a few last supper type e-mails before I am most likely chopped off of coming onto this board. Would you guys be happy if I left?

And the smiley face would "get" me to mail them back. A mad face, no one would e-mail them back. I dont want to face it (my fate) quite yet.

I say let them come after you...

You probably won't be chopped since you got a LOL and a smiley face..although you make a good point...

Ummm..you're even safer...

At least, get with your Forum lawyer first...

Really, I've got to get to work. This is NOT a sitting-at-the-computer day. But since the original poster on that thread was not, as far as I could tell, online when the exchange of fire was made, keeping such a request off his thread spares him any further information about what happened in his absence. He can't NOT know that something went on, what with all the deletions on his thread, but it removes any further activity from his "space" and, in a way (if this is what the request was about), preserves the dignity of the person being emailed by not directly connecting a potential visit to the woodshed to the dust-up of hostility from last night.

Let's all sing together: "I'd rather be a poster than a Mod. Yes, I would. Yes, I wo-o-o-o-o-o-ould. I surely would."
