"macho moderators"
I think responsibility is a key trait in running a forum. The forum moderators must have this skill. When a site like DFBarracks gives children or
incompodent people authority over a forum, this get out of hand. Here is an example: I have had two (2) of my posts locked and threatened that they
will be deleted. Why is that?
Why do moderators impose their authority with no regard for the users of the site? I would like an answer to that question by A Bullet.
Some nice and responsible people here are Peebs and a few others. Other than that, Im not impressed with the childish behavior here.

I think that if you are that unhappy that A.Bullet would like to know! Send him a u2u msg and I'm sure your concerns will be addressed.

Moderators lock, or delete threads that are "In their Opinion" heading in the wrong direction, or they deam offensive, or just pointless...This is a
family oriented site, so we need to constrain ourselves sometimes, there are a few more threads that will be locked or deleted shortly...your lucky
your threads weren't deleted....at least they can still be read.
Political topics like "Kill or dont kill Saddam." are a touchy subject...the threads been open long enough...now it's time it was rested....you want
to start a public outcry about Saddam...write to your local newspaper..
End Of Story

touchy posts
omg this is a friendly forum ? lol
i agree with us ranger 1776 at least hes bringing current content to this forum which btw is far from being "rested"
get a grip we play war games and guess what, his topic does pertain to this forum.
if you see this as touchy, then i think you better realize this is a war gaming forum, where troops will bring up omg "war stuff@! which obviously
pertains to politics!
lighten up:P
***illegal size sig unticked...please read the rules regarding sig size at DFB...try resaving it as a gif, bmp is always too large***

This is a forum for Delta Force games....We have a section for people to speak their mind, but, if we decide that a thread is becoming out of
hand..then you, as a member, need to take stock..and accept the fact that we decided to close it..

GAMES is right.
Yes, this is a war GAMES forum. Delta Force is just that, a GAME, and both children and adults play GAMES. It is a first-person shooter, granted,
but it IS NOT ANYWHERE CLOSE TO REAL WAR! (Anyone who doesn't see that difference needs to get a grip!) IF you want to know what REAL war is like
try spending a year in a foxhole in the middle of a REAL War zone. This is a GAME.
I completely agree with Eagle_Eye. This is definitely a Family ORIENTED Forum, and being such, any thread a Moderator deems offensive, vulgar, or
just flat-out in bad taste is subject to being deleted. Seesh, there are plenty of other subjects to talk about besides a modern-day Hitler!

nice sig
i like your sig.
the problem is, "family oriented site", children should not be playing war games. The reason? the box clearly states that the game is not meant for
children. But, that is beyond the point. I dont like how, if someone doesnt like my post, they lock it. I think the topic of Saddam needs to be talked
about, all we are doing is venting our feelings about an evil man. If it was thought to be "pointless" i feel sorry for the loser the locked it.

Moderators are here to moderate, ie to try and keep a happy balance.
Not everybody is going to be happy with their decision's, but these decisions are not taken on a whim, just to get people mad, and at the end of the
day if you don't like it you can always go somewhere else.:D

i made that sig and it was not a bitmap when i gave it to you, therefore i believe that you resized it yourself or tried to manipulate it yourself.
you must remove it because your version of yoursig is breaking almost all of our sig rules. we have a 425x125 and 35k sig size limit, you have taken
your sig to over 100k, and it is also a bmp, and we only allow gif and jpeg images, if you would like me to repost your sig, in the correct version i
would gladley do so, so you can have the allowed one, please read the first line of my sig block.

We don't hate anyone...but we keep our eye out for members who like to cause trouble...swear in their posts...and generally have bad behaviour. Youv'e
been a member for a short while, and I see, from your profile posts list, you like to have an opinion...fair enough...you even challenged
Steptoe...and you have posted in just about all the controversial posts you could find...looks like the majority of your posts are not game related at
all..seems to me your a time bomb waiting to go off....now you've attracted the attention of all the moderators...they'll all be watching every post
you make...Hope you feel comfortable with that...
Did you ever find out how to put boats on waypoints?

You never finished posting here, so I don't know if you foumd an answer or not...(the true reason for this forums existance)

You posted this, knowing that the sig was altered...not very sporting of you now is it...
I'm a fair person, ask Sharptooth~RGR, when I picked up Sharp a few months ago for having an over size animated sig, I took the time to pull it
apart, resize it all, and put it back together, just so Sharp didn't lose a great sig...and I'm not even on the sig making team...
So, don't try and pull the wool over my eye's...not impressed mate...

I'll say one thing about this forum...the users in here should be lucky they can discuss the intentions and actions of the mods. In the forum I mod,
any discussions about the actions of a mod or mods is deleted without hesitation. Its against the forum rules.

In my opinon this thread was going nowhere fast and was mainly between two members. The debate could have been carried out on icq or msn! Saddam is
old news! The decision was made after a lengthy discussion with another Modorator and shall remain in confidence!

I'm still trying to find the other thread of yours that was closed..you want to point me in the right direction.....
The Only threat I see is if you start another Saddam Thread...there was no mention of deleting the existing one..it was just closed..

Im thankful we can talk about a lot here, but, I dont see how the topic of Saddam is "going nowhere". It was not old news when I started the post,
they had just captured Saddam, and I was wondering what you all thought should be done with him.
Moderators unite to lock someone's post because it was going nowhere...
Im sorry if I have arroused controversial topics, but I think it is good for people to talk about those things, to think about subjects and not just
talk about this great shot they made, or these great stats.
You could include a new forum, or just let some people voice their opinion. The Saddam issue is tied in with war games. He was captured and his sons
killed by American soldiers and that is what is portrayed in the Delta Force Series.

As one can see I have been around here for a long time....
I have been concerned at the actions of a couple mods and members in that time...I spoke to A.Bullet/snr mods and has always been put right.
I have responded to some posts...been deleted (well the whole thread on occasiobs usually has because of the orginal content , even the orginal poster
been banned to lol)
With my time here and often striaght up posts with no concern for dipolmacy
I have had my run ins with mods etc. BUT I have NEVER had a complaint about ANY of the end results and final descions made.
At the end of the day...there is little flaming, abuse, and what complaints there are are minor...BECAUSE a TIGHT ship is held here with enough
blalance to have fun.
If one looks thru other forums, they are not as busy, dont have the same #s just browsing, have more flaming, and attact more idiots, and DFB has been
around for a looooonnnng time now
If one doesnt like the way DFB is run, move on (I moved on from other forums and ended up here lol plus couple others)

Very articulate Steptoe and EagleEye!
Yes, EE is very fair! I to had a problem with one mod and EE took care of the problem for me. He also helped me fix my sig as I was warned just like
you. Like I said earlier, "send a u2u to A.bullet and he will help you"
The mods here are not paid to moderate. They have a vested interest in these forums because they love what they do.
Do people ever get out of hand? Yes, do the others here bring them back in line? Yes!
I think the point here is that as Moderators they have been given the power to decide. If you don't like it, go find another forum. Or better yet,
build your own and have a topic regarding whatever you want.
As an administrator for our squad forums, I know how it is to make sure that the forums are running as the owners wants.
Someone has to do it and it would be nice to hear please and thank you a little bit more than pissing, [Censored]ing and moaning.
I love the barracks and the way that they are run. There are plenty of forums out there that don't hold these standards and I won't waste my time.
Thanks to all of the Barracks personal, you do one hell of a job!
Pucker Up Buttercup!
