Thread Moved within Minutes on the Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual board.

What I posted is certainly controversial and challenges the currently accepted thinking, perhaps this is the reason it was moved.
It's a pity the moderators of this board aren't as tolerent and open-minded as they would like others to be.

HIV and AIDS is an issue for every sexually active adult reguardless of thier gender preference.

That report is over 10 years old and no longer relavent and so well done to the mods of the forum for thier timely action great service from the voulenteer that give thier time to the site.

HIV/AIDS isn't exclusivly a LGB issue for a start, so it's no more "relevant & important" than it would be elsewhere. Plus it seems certainly more like a Conspiracies Theory forum than anything.

Probably would have sent it to Sex & Sexuality myself, but then the OP wouldn't be able to see it at all.

Within minutes you say?

Good on-the-ball modding. That's the stuff.

Nice to have positive things said in Feedback from time to time.

Shoddy modding then, someone fire that mod, or at least whip them with regi's jizzmop.

Couldn't agree more.

Well if someone hadn't tied the bonds too tight and ignored my safety word I would have gotten there sooner.

Stark. I resent the implication that there is a correlation between bondage and lax modding.

I believe Stark strictly stated causation, which it turns out isn't the same thing as correlation at all at all. Who knew.

That's even worse!

I maintain that a moderator tying up another moderator causes neither of them to neglect their modding duties.

Indeed, it can lead to good ways to deal with someone you can't ban because they're also a mod of the forum.

Why do these threads always turn into Moderator Circle-Jerks? Close this nonsense, move along, there's nothing to see here etc.

One would have thought that was pretty obvious at this stage...
Perhaps we need to introduce some eye catching colour?

I thought it was pretty obvious before we started putting the word "slut" in signatures and tag-lines.

I'm kinda damaging my admit-to-being-a-slut-and-they-won't-notice-I'm-a-pervert idea though.
