I tried that last night and for each one I took care of 2 more popped up becuse of me locking the thread in question. So how do we handle that?
I hear you. Let me make clear that I think that we as board users bare the most responsibility for the content of these boards. We cannot expect the mods to spend every second they have on here just cleaning up other peoples garbage.
On the other hand, check this out. "Moderated by: chesty, Fonz, maxellyz, MUSTANG_18, 2Thick, Andy13, Big Buck, BigPapaPump, bikinimom, cockdezl, conan69, danielson, E2, el cubano, Genome, HUCKLEBERRY FINNaplex, macrophage69alpha, MattTheSkywalker, Mr H, panerai, Quadsweep, quenepo, Slopain, Texas Guns, The Ranger, TxLonghorn, WarLobo, WCP, Zyglamail"
What is that, 29 mods for this board alone? I know that you guys have a life outside of this board. But honestly, how many of those names above actualy police the board for crap and delete it as they find it - ever?
I'm sure that there are some real gems that we never see. My mom used to come home and compain about the messy house. I'd have to tell her "oh yeah? You should'a seen it before I cleaned it up!"
The content here is never going to fit each persons criteria of perfect, but it is each one of our responsibilities to contribute to the good on refuse to contributer to the bad.
