Cgipson banned? Huh?

Group hug.

If by group, you mean, you, Mish, PR and myself. Okie dokie, lol

Before any hugs are given I now require a signed consent form that will go over the potential risks involved with hugging, touching, and/or seeing me in person. This form must be signed prior to any acts of hugging.

Yup looks like everythings in order...except it needs to state in plain speak:

The hugger(Kathy) is not responsible for the emotional impact of the huggie(me).

Also K it needs to state what you are wearing, and I drink Sam Adams and or scotch ale.

Don't forget the model release and who retain the rights to the pictures.

Wives, girlfriends, lovers, dogs, cats, and anyone else 18 or older, living in the household, must sign as well. Just covering my bases here.

Does this form cover all physical contact or only hugging?

 

[The_Traveler]

Just covering my bases here.

Damn, I was hoping to get to cover at least parts of your bases.

Well a group hug DOES imply a minimum of 3 or more people....the household could act like a single entity 8)

No worries Traveler, her bases are in good hands 8)

Rule?
It says "does not REQUIRE an explanation" it doesnt say that there definitely wouldnt be one.

Yeah, but then my thread was closed after that comment, so I figured it was a rule?

Sorry but what is your point? Do you want them to close this thread because they closed yours? It sounds like something you should use the PM feature for.

you keep bringing up your thread that got closed and im not really sure where you want to go with that.
I honestly cant say much on your thread because i was not a mod then and have no information as to why that decision was made.
Maybe the thread didn't stay as civil. maybe there was just a general feeling of "unrest" about it...I really dont know.
there ARE rules against "flounce" threads, yet not every one is closed. For the most part, threads are locked after some bit of discussion with the other mods, unless the thread just gets out of hand to fast. I have even seen threads locked, then UNLOCKED after mod discussion. it just depends on who is on, and the nature of the thread and its responses.
this isnt an exact science, and we dont have hard coded algorithms that tell us exactly which threads to lock, and which people to ban.
we have the forum rules, the FAQ's, our gut feelings, and of course, discussion with other mods.

sometimes we err on the side of caution and it looks like over-moderation. sometimes times we let things go that are technically against the rules, but it might be a delicate or important topic and the discussion is staying civil. we are only human. mostly.
if someone has an issue with something a moderator has done, the best thing to do is either PM that mod (or another mod) for clarification OR report the thread and make the issue known so ALL the moderators have a chance to see it and weigh in on the decision that was made.
If we DO make a mistake, or make a bad call, bringing it up long after the fact does nothing to help the situation.

there are probably a few people here that can attest to me having NO problem at all addressing issues and decisions honestly with them via PM, and keeping them informed on things that they feel are affecting them when they have asked me to. I honestly don't know what else to do, but i am certainly open to any suggestions that would benefit the forum as a whole.
