My first PWC rescue

Finally, Maybe we will now get some peace and quiet on the board for a little while. Well, gotta go pack and head back home. Beach week is over. :smt089
 
Well since Frank C let the cat out of the bag about me having Delete Withdrawels....:wow: Naw....I got to go pack. I'll check back in later tonight, I think I can hold out till then.:smt100 I got a patch. :lol:
 
Well Richard... Or shall I call you xxx...

You should go read the rules and follow them and also, I do more boating in an afternoon calibrating instruments than you do in a month.

Don't be a "jerk"... Oh wait... Maybe you can send me another "foot in your ass" PM.

I am on the boat now and nothing broke. I just don't understand what is fair for one person is not fair for another. So Richard casts a stone and my response gets deleted. It's ridiculous.

I've never met the man but since I've been around (Septermbe 07) I can say big G would be missed if we actually got the "peace and quiet" you are hoping.. Hang in there Gary.. here's one that always makes me smile

I'm new here.

Who is Dick/Richard?

And who is the Kearney guy and why don't we like him?

PS
The Spandex photos are funny. To quote Larry the cable guy "I don't care who you are, that's funny right there!"
 
GARY FOR PRESIDENT!!! I am one that loves his style of humor. I laugh my "butt" off at his antics. There are times I get choked up laughing so hard. It takes a very high IQ to be able to pull off jokes of his caliber. I don't know if ya'll noticed but I became a lurker around here because most people didn't get my style of humor. Yea I like the Gary times, when I first joined this site, people would jump on you for having an opposing view of Searay or MM. Can we not take ourselves so seriously, and laugh at ourselves a little more. When Gary goes, so do I. (no threat intended) Thank you, and I'll go back to Lurking!
 
I'll recap everyone for you.

Mr. G will tell you everything you could ever wish to know about your vacuflush. He will also call you an idiot now and then if you post a wrong answer

Richard was, then was not, then was, then was not, then is a moderator. Give or take a was and was not.

Mr K will enlighten you with half truths. Some is true, some is not. It's up to you to figure out what is what.
 
You guys have spent all day arguing about who edited what, how, the numbers of times and for what reason.

For the moderators and administrators, you fellows would save a lot of time and ill feelings if you would just take an hour and document the rules you intend this forum to operate by, then make them part of not only the users agreement, but also post them in an easy to find location like under a new topic heading like 'Forum Rules" or in the Announcements & FAQ's section.


I don't think anyone here will knowingly break the rules, but if they do, then there should be no argument or discussion about whatever action the moderators or administrator choose to take.



This seems like such an easy solution to what you feel is a problem (you must if you are editing members posts). If you guys prefer the rather chaotic approach you have to moderation now, then carry on......... but don't get upset at CSR members or when they complain because you choose to do it this way.

We have completed this as well as offered a ranking system that Jim will explain later that will be similar to an ebay ranking so when you see Frank give advise you know it is the best, when I give advise you realize my postings are no good, etc. I think this will help smooth out the original problem to begin with, if that is in fact what the problem was. You will see a little color square with the information as well as a place to rank a posting. That said the information like this board will only be as good as the posting.

Guys the rules are what they are, there will be infractions giving out if you break them and consequences for breaking them. The intent is and has not been to make the board boring or bland but there is no reason for personal attacks and I hope everyone agrees with that, even if you are having fun jumping in this discussion. It is usually pretty easy to tell if someone is joking around or seriously has a problem with someone. Joking around with a friend, such as if I call Todd a loser, I know Todd well enough to know the he knows I mean nothing by it. If I call Gary a loser, I know he will call me something worse back quicker than I can type the message and I better be ready for it. If I call XXX a loser he could have a problem with it as him and I have not talked off-line and he does not get my humor.

Again our goal is to make the board better and to avoid problems in the future. I hope that everyone gets that and appreciates it instead of jumping on the bandwagon against it.

On a related note....

Last summer we were in our slip inside the boat when we heard a jet ski zoom by our bow. I run out and see the jet ski flying to the ramp/dock. I am angry, cussing to myself, crazy jet skier. We later see an ambulance at the ramp/dock, which is about 100 yards away.

It's concert night at the marina, all kinds of activity, so we stare for a while and then go up to the concert. Later we hear a lady coded in the ambulance. We later hear more...seems the lady fell off the back of a jet ski and was run over by the jet skier behind her. They were running her in on the jet ski we saw/heard fly by.

Now the really awful news, the lady was a mom and the jet skier that ran over her was her son. He literally killed his own mother by accident. Turns out he was following too close.
 
I like the ranking system. is this in place of censorship? or in addition to censorship?

So, does the grey dot by my name mean I'm close to the black list? :grin:

By related note you mean related to the original posting 9 pages ago?? I forgot what this thread was and had to re-read the OP. What exactally does that grey box mean?? That's a terrible storry by the way..
 
To be honest Matt, I have no idea what the colors mean at this point, I am still trying to figure it out as we speak. I can tell you that you are not close to any black list. :grin:

I think it will take time for people's square color to change, I think yours is black because it is yours, you can't vote for yourself or else mine would be gold (don't really know the colors but you get the point).

Ok went back and looked, the purple means you have unknown quality at this point as people have not voted for your postings. Realize it will take a little time for them to change. If you scroll over them they tell you what they mean.

Gary - sorry for the hi-jack on this one.
