....and Im all for that *(then dont complain)*, but yet you scold Al for being harsh when infact he was being much less harsh then you seemed to be in your reply. *(is he really? well lets look at what we have shall we?)*"

I want to get a few facts straight here. Oddsville first of all was saying that you were a bit harsh on me, not alcar. Second of all I have been a mod for over ten months, and so our about 3/4 of the staff here. So your term of newly instated mod towards me is false also.
My methods are not horrible, sure could I have taken the time as I usually am with being quiet, and moving stuff to where it should be. Sometimes I grow tired of always reminding over and over again, I merely commented to Abe Guy to in the future look for reference in the FC rules and the forum rules. I still dont see any horrible doing inside those lines by myself. In fact whenever I have had to resort to telling people in the open thread what to do next time its in a very friendly manner. I dont know what forum you were at before, but here we are friendly, and most of us will accept open critisism constructive or not. It appeared though when I read this that I was just immediately pounced on for doing my job as a mod. I can't always hold peoples hands even if they are new. I will stand by my choice as I have done this before, and still whether people were scared to protest it in the past or not, no one has yet to come forward in complaining about the way I, or most of the staff carry out their daily duties. Its good to know you also have admin background, but around here thats not going to win you brownie points, doesnt mean that we wont rule out asking for some guidance if need be ever the case may come up. Most of us old timers around here have been around for over two or three years, near the creation of this forum. We earned the respect, and trust of our fellow members, and they felt we were right for our positions that we were elected to by the members, and whole community. Still to date I am friendly with the way I moderate FC, but sometimes a bit of direct action may be needed. Rest assured we know what we are doing, and I will probably continue on being that no one whether new or old has felt the need to address me on my methods, excluding you. But your opinion is well noted. PM is always a great thing too, but there are occasionally problems in which people, either occasionally dont read them, dont care, or dont accept them, so sometimes its needed to explain it, and remind not humiliate the person either way. As well as reminding others too, not as an example of being bad, but it helps get some points across to the old and new around here.
This topic was moved for the specific reasons, not to humiliate Abe guy, or show off my abilities, and I in my opinion did a fairly good job, in welcoming him publicly, as well as letting people know once again a little reminder of where topics have to be placed, and nicely directed him to the rules in place.
Hopefully that explains my side of the story.
If you wish to speak further I would be happy to either talk you through email or PM.
-Sincerely, Al
