Totally agreed!

Agreed. Most of the comments are downright disgusting and that's saying a lot for a place like this.

This. Could we maybe not call people pedophiles for unfounded reasons? It's kind of a serious accusation.

I just came on here to say that this is the most disgusting thing I have read on this forum and I've read some pretty disgusting things on here over the years. This whole conversation should be removed and that girl should be banned permanently. This isn't the first time with her BS.
There are many who read here but do not post and this type of slander/libel contributes to the lies that spread about Richie on social media. You have a responsibility as a moderator to moderate. Unbelievable.

Couldn't agree more - it's way out of line.

Not all mods have the power to ban, it's far more complicated than that. I understand it's being figured out but "You have a responsibility as a moderator to moderate"....I don't think really appreciate the way that's worded. Half the time it's babysitting children, the disgusting PM's I've gotten while taking action is just baffling.

Just know it's being worked on and mod'ing this place is purely on a volunteer basis and we mostly get treated pretty poorly.

So you cannot remove vile posts like that? Sorry but I don't know who has that power and all I see as far as moderators posting is you. Which moderators have the power then? Maybe people posting here should know that.
I think anyone who doesn't see this as beyond the pale is not worth the pm's a moderator may get.

I don't think Richie and Jon would give a flying F if the mods got disgusting PM's if they found out what's been said about them on this forum. It should have been removed ASAP. It's libelous.

I just looked to see who the moderators are on this forum and I haven't seen any of them posting on this forum in a long time. Maybe you need new moderators who still actually participate in the forum they moderate? Just sayin'.

I DID remove the posts. My point was there's a handful of us that don't always have the time to do stuff like this ASAP. Banning people, whether temporarily or permanently, is a bit longer of a process due to the type of board this is.

I don't care if Richie or Jon give a flying F about the mods, I certainly care if the people HERE do so they can understand we can't always be on to of everything at the speed people want us to.

All due respect, you have 19 posts here since joining in 2014. You're not wrong in that people are acting inappropriately and it's being taken care of as fast as we can, but if you want to help make the board better feel free to post more, add to conversations. There aren't even may active posters so finding people to give up their time to deal with stuff on a dead board is easier said than done.
