It's still hard to believe this forum is moderated.. ( may be a good thing for the most part )

If any posts were ever removed they must have been the .001 of the worst. The ones that could really harm or endanger another member or risk someone's employment or life.

On a fair note , BC must be the best forum on the WWW as it let's you exercise your Freedom Of Speech.

I'd like to remind everyone that present BrownCafe staff are all volunteers. We have no scheduled hours, we moderate when we happen to be on. In the beginning, we only moderated as we were reading the forum.
It's insane now, with the amount of reported posts, etc. And the very HUGE fact that we are short-handed and have no Admin.
Really, I'm amazed the site is still up. Remember when some glitch would take the site down while Cheryl was fixing it? One glitch comes along now, and we're all done. At least till the tech guy notices.
So have fun, try to be nice, and keep to the TOS!

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.

I’m sure the number of reporting went up when the crack down was announced. It only emboldened the people reporting posts. And now even borderline off topic posts are deleted. It’s what you guys wanted. 🤷‍♂️ Cause and effect.
I can’t say it wasn’t getting out of hand, because it was, but when the pendulum swings all the way to the other side you get another set of issue’s. Gotta find a happy medium. We do take you guys for granted, and with the exception of some, you’re appreciated.

A member not even a year, and you already know if all. You don’t have a clue.

Yeah, and 99% of reported posts are coming from 2 individuals. @BadIdeaGuy just had to scold one of them yesterday publicly. There should be a rule about reporting posts. This particular guy (qdg2) will report someone just for saying “good morning”, it’s Ridiculous.

Edit: throw the Pope @Integrity in this snowflake group as well.

Ignore him. He’s not worth the trouble. Obviously has issues.

I have never reported a post. Absolutely nothing wrote on here could offend me enough to do so.
Have had many of my posts deleted. To each his own.

Do you have something to say or do you just like to hear yourself ramble

How much money did @over9five give you to post this?
