to trish- the moderators do a wonderful job in chat. it's great and all that you were a chat moderator for four years, but you aren't one here. if what enoch said offended you, you obviously don't go into chat much. i personally just think you're being nitpicky because you have a grudge against the mods. i mean hell, you always write about how much you hate this place, your bitterness about the blog closing is very evident. forgive me if i'm wrong, but the mods here we're nominated in a way by people in ETS and TS, as we were the ones here duing beta testing, before it was made live. most of us know these mods from our forums, so we're used to their demeanors. you guys from blogger didn't have moderation, so i'm sure it's a different setup for you to grasp ad embrace. people are people, they have different personalities just like anyone else. some of the "blogger refugees" seem to be the ones having the most problems with the mods. it's not bullying just because you personally don't like what they do or how they handle certain things, it's called moderation. this is a big site with a lot of users. mods are probably not going to change how things are, especially when things are running more smoothly, due to a few disgruntled people. if i remember correctly, someone posted a link to a new blog, totally unmoderated.

sorry...i had to comment, mods. i'm just sick of all the whining. feel free to delete my post. i'll understand

I guess we're not important enough to have a say...
Being blog refugees and all...

Very sad...

give it a rest already. really. let it go. i heard the term from a blogger,so attack away.

oh trish...that's a silly, gross generalization, but i'm not surprised. you know nothing of what i think, other than what i said directly to you. i happen to adore many of the bloggers,actually. it doesn't matter where you came from or how you got here, i just go on what i observe here.

a personal pm sent to Trent Reznor by me. As I give myself permission to copy this (my own personal pm) over, I expect no moderator to remove it!!!!!!


Hello,

I am writing this to you in a last ditch effort at understanding. A reply would be appreciated. Though, I understand I have no right to demand one. If you read and understand, that is enough.

I am a displaced ex blogger. Though I have tried to integrate into your new Forum, I am having a difficult time of this. I enjoyed the old blog, as did many others. I'd like to thank you for giving it to us. A place of refuge for misfits and troubled. A place that contained a community of people that found healing and hope through each other.

I listen to your music. Your recent albums cover the opression we are beginning to suffer under our own governement. I read the current comment from you on nin.com and you speak of freedom. What you sing and say these days seem to be in conflict with what you're doing.

Your Forum. Everything and everyone in their place. A police state. If a moderator does not think your comments are on topic enough in a thread, they delete your voice. If a moderator does not think, or approve of a thread you create, they lock it. If you say something they don't approve of, or misunderstand in the chats, they censure you. If you question their actions, they bannish you from Forum life. If you try to raise awareness on various threads of their heavy handedness, they systematically remove them. Chats filled with praises to you and the band, along with continuous meaningless quick typed words.

How can this be? Where is our freedom of speech and expression? Where is our Voice? These things, the very things you say you oppose, you've created. You've invited your fans to join in this? You wish us to become sheep 'baaing' to a steady beat?

This is not hate mail. It's not even dislike mail. It's confused and concerned mail. If it manages to spark even the tiniest bit of awareness in you, then it's done its job.

Thank You,
Patricia Foster

have my 500 hundred whet kisses reached you yet dee? i am having a harder time with the built in structure of the "thread," which keeps out and draws in a narrow set of people and ideas when the blog was so crazy and open-ended...i get one part of my personality out in one thread, say the what's your favorite obscenity these days (fuckstick is mine) or checking out the strangely hilarious but clearly perverse pictures posted in the not for work threads...then i can go to the music thread to ask about copywrites but it's so segmented...even the "general forum" is just a series of threads...i thought it was funny that it is okay to post a pic of a woman with 3 dozens crayons stuck in her snatch but or "asian girl porn" but other things get deleted or locked for not being on topic? yes, its a strange new fuckstick world...
