If you even TALK about password trading, I am going to assume you are doing it..."

Well, I CAN speak Italian and I think I'm sharp enough to tell if someone is doing password trading. I spend a lot of time on the board and I always try to give an eye to everything.
If you really think the italian board is not well moderated I can't keep on doing my job.
So John trust in me or else please take this responsibility back to yourself or give it to someone else.

Thank you and take care.

Sabina, I am not completely familiar with the way you moderate the Italian board...I do not follow it...all I do know is I saw talk of password trading on it...

Now (if translation works at all) I see they are in an uproar...I would suggest that not continue....

I trust you to do this job perfectly, and it is much appreciated by me and I'm sure the Italian board...being a moderator is a thankless job in general.....

However believe this....if they want to be ungrateful about having the forum there in the first place, it is GONE....I don't need to be slapped in the face for giving them a free forum...

Thank you John for your kind and quick reply. It's not easy for me to completely explain my thoughts in english. It's very important for me to know you still believe I can moderate the forum.
As you said: "being a moderator is a thankless job in general" and sometimes it's not so easy to remain detached and fair.

Anyway, on "this side of the board", it's really unusual that someone tries to trade passwords. Sometimes happens that a new member could investigate the situation and if I can't immediately reply other members always confirm the rules.

As for you, John, I can affirm all the senior members (knowing the story of this forum) are completely grateful to you and Daddo for this great opportunity and most of us did (and do) our best to contribute to all the sections of this (your) board.

Never draw a conclusion on the ground of a few statement. We are a large community with the same fantasies.

Thank you once more.

Hey Sabina....you are quite correct, and I was just coming to type my error when you posted this message....the Italian board has many, many fine trample lovers on it and they would not deserve to lose their forum because of some scumbags...so if any of the complainers want to continue it is only THEY who shall be banned....

You are a great moderator! What would we do without you? :(

Even though I don't speak italian myself.:( :sadcry:I do want to thank you for being in this forum and moderating the Italian board. Sabina thank you.

John, (forgive my poor english)
I am suscribed at this board from only 3 months, but I've read it from the very start. I have always seen Sabina straightly moderating every attempt to post passwords in the forum.
In deed, those trying to post passwords in the italian forum, have been a few, not more than happened in the international one, and ever was the new members, unknowing of the rules, to made those trying. I think the italian Senior members will help Sabina much more, from today, to take control of these situations.
But Sabina is a wonderful moderator, and we all love her.
