I have noticed that as TRF has grown that we are getting less and less comments from the Mods per thread. Easy to understand as they mostly perform a thankless task, but I just want to say that their comments, when they have the time to give them; are greatly appreciated. All things change, for the better I think; just wanted to say that I always look forward to seeing a statement; or an opinion; a rebuke; or just plain ole' good humor from the Mods or Steve. No, I am not sucking up.

It was either this or bump my farting dog thread back to the top.

I am a moderator on another forum. In my experience most forums are self policing. A successful forum with conscientious, well seasoned members corrects itself. Heavy handed moderating and overzealous policing of threads is counterproductive. On the other forum there is one member who has been begging for a moderator role. I think he has an ax to grind. That would never be tolerated here. Fortunately TRF members and moderators are so well intentioned and polite, I really enjoy being a part of it.
I really think the owner and moderators here "get it". I also think the general majority of members here are grateful for the one place on the net where being polite and showing class is rewarded in kind. I can honestly say that TRF is like a socially successful neighborhood. Friendly, classy, fun, supportive and safe from cyber trouble makers.

Well said.

I think most people are pretty classy here. There is only one person I have on my list to ignore. He flamed my thought processes early on and I have seen him lash out harshly at others like he is an angry person. I don't tolerate that well from someone who doesn't know me from Adam. I have met a bunch of decent, well mannered people here. A truly awesome and humorous bunch of people that share more than the love of a watch brand. A group of people that truly know how to live and enjoy life.

Well said everyone! I completely agree with everything said on this thread.

I guess it seems like mods are posting less because Larry (Tools) who is a mod and a significant contributor, decided top go on a cruise and will be offline for some time.

cmr · 25 April 2008, 02:22 PM

these guys combined with the great membership have made this the best rolex forum in the world in my opinion!!

ezmoney46 · 25 April 2008, 02:53 PM

I have to agree, Steve the owner, and all the mods are very professional as well as 99% of the members here.This forum ROCKS !!!!!

Agreed, and well said, everyone!

Of all the forums I frequent, this is truly the most friendly, the most respectful, and without a hint of righteousness. Clearly, that tone is set by the moderators. Thank you again!

toph · 25 April 2008, 07:39 PM

Well the best compliment i can give is the fact that this is the only forum that i am a member of and i am certain it will stay that way. Thanks for all the hard work that makes this forum so great.

Ditto!

Other watch forums could learn a LOT from TRF!!!

I will say that the social crowd in TRF has definitely helped balance my faith in humanity and the art of good old consideration. It is amazing how everyday being out and about in life you can come across so much negativity and just plain rude people with no sense of human compassion and then hop online at night and socialize with people that you don't even know and will probably never meet and get more respect than your everyday face to face interactions. Mind blowing isn't it? Great bunch of people here!!

Want to know the truth, Pat - I think that's what keeps us all in line! Some nice, healthy respect with a touch of real fear of the consequences!

that, and the 'other' two most famous promises!

since i owe you big time, guess i can't give you or Steve too difficult a time; and, if the truth be known, the longer i'm on here, the more respect i have for Steve and the Mods. While this COULD be a suck-up, it's not. It's based on experience. This Forum is cool, and Steve and the Mods(is that a rock group?) are the reason why. What I've discovered is that when it comes to the internet, I've not had reason to really think through all the issues, but they have.(I hate admitting this, but it's true). What can I say, I've been on here almost a year, and have a VERY slow learning curve.

best,
dan
