Yoder! I am so sorry you were wounded. I am glad you are ok. As to L80 I never saw it. I leave it to your judgement whether it was a recoverable, or a non recoverable mistake.yoder wrote:Hey Folks,
First off, I'm ok...just a little foggy...but thank you for the kind words.
Second, I really to try to be diplomatic here. This community is one of a kind and I do my best to stay on the sidelines, but when someone goes too far I need to throw a flag. I don't like being in this position, but that's what I'm here for...and happy to do it.
Finally, after a long chat with Mak and some insightful PM's, I think a 1 week suspension is an appropriate response.
So Largent80, if you're listening...your insight and contributions to this forum are appreciated. Please respect the community and adhere to the Terms of Use. I don't mind people expressing their thoughts and opinions, that's the point of this board, yet there are standards that need to be maintained. There is a line.
Sincerely,
Yoder

I was released from the hospital last night due to an unfortunate head injury. No worries, I'm ok. Though it was brought to my attention by a few posters that obscene material was posted on the Shack during a time that I was not able to moderate the forum. This is completely unacceptable, period! I know debates can be heated, which is fine. But when people cross the line I need to take action.
Since I was not able to moderate for a few days and the image has been removed, it's still apparent that whatever was posted was upsetting to several people. Let us keep in mind that this forum is read by many people that aren't members, some of which are underage.
With that said, Largent80...your account has been temporarily deactivated. If a fellow Shacker would please PM me with either a description...or link to the image posted, I can then decide if this results in a permanent ban (with all posts deleted).
A note to the community here, I sincerely apologize if anyone was upset by what was posted. This forum is a very special place and I want it to be enjoyed by all, regardless of age, race, gender, political stance, religion, etc. I check this forum multiple times a day, I'm sorry this happened during the few days I was absent. I will do everything I can to prevent this from happening again.
As a reminder to all, here is a link to the HawkShack Terms of Use.

If I ever say or post something offensive to you feel free to contact me via PM. I don't do that type of thing on purpose you know.
