pascalle, i just think the attention generated is because youre the only one who has mod powers on both forums i wasnt talking specifically about the current 'rant', thats ok i suppose, quite entertaining and actually on topic. same old same old its the spammy waffle like 'how are you?/im fine thankyou' type posts. you know who you are mostly its the way in which many threads become homogenised to the point where you think 'what thread am i on?' oh and steven tyler cropping up for no apparent reason get what i mean? its tricky and a pain to have to report this stuff and sometimes its hard to know where the thread went off course exactly its not that much of an issue. self-discipline is the way forward. again you know who you are sorry viola, look now im spamming ;D

She has mod powers in both places as well. i wasnt talking specifically about the current 'rant', thats ok i suppose, quite entertaining and actually on topic. same old same old its the spammy waffle like 'how are you?/im fine thankyou' type posts. you know who you are mostly its the way in which many threads become homogenised to the point where you think 'what thread am i on?' oh and steven tyler cropping up for no apparent reason get what i mean? its tricky and a pain to have to report this stuff and sometimes its hard to know where the thread went off course exactly its not that much of an issue. self-discipline is the way forward. again you know who you are sorry viola, look now im spamming ;D Self policing might help a bit there, like you said, but I will take a look tomorrow to see which topics are going offtopic.

Mmm. Pascalle, angry red writing. I hope you have taken on board the comments people have made about you. You have been noticed more than other mods. I don't understand why you have taken it upon yourself to moderate two sites. Why stop at OHG, there are so many places that are making personal comments. Over at x17online.com someone just called Anthony a faggot and a dipshit. What is personal is only what is already in the public media and not even the Chilis can stop people from making comments. We really have nothing to do with the personal lives of the Chilis. As a mod you should also make a decision whether something is ironic, whimsical, humourous or serious discussion not gossip, because ultimately most of us just make comments like that. No-one wants to offend the Chilis personally.

No-one wants to offend the Chilis personally. Interesting how you see red as an angry color, I guess that is a personal thing. I see it as a warm, vibrant color and in this case just used it to highlight my comments as so many other people tend to do when they reply to more than one item in a post. I could have used orange or green or something too. I hope you have also taken on board some of the remarks made by me. It is a two way street, you know. As for being a mod on two boards I haven't taken anything upon myself, I was asked and like I stated a bit further up, so was DivineF1 for instance. As a mod I should consider a lot of things, as a private person I have every right to have my own feelings about issues and post about them as well. It's even in our mod rules. Which was what I did on the AK forum here, post my own thoughts. I haven't closed the posts in question or for instance removed the image we were talking about recently. The fact that people don't agree with my point of view doesn't make my point of view less worthy of expressing. Where you are getting mixed up is with privacy issues and insulting someone. I don't care what people call one of the band members at all on those sites. I don't read them and don't care what happens on them as I don't have to. On the official site I do because it is against board rules. And here I can only state how I feel about gossiping. Which I do on very rare occasions. The privacy issue however -which is a completely different issue altogether- came about with an image taken by a private person and spread against his/her will. I voiced my opinion about it just like everybody else did and rightfully so. If you guys see this differently that is your prerogative. People have different feelings about certain issues which is what makes for a more interesting world. That's it I think. Have a nice day all!

I like the fact that there are disagreements and opinion and passion on the AK forum, it saves it from being boring. I totally agree that OHG should be unofficial and in no way connected to or governed by the band or their representitives, just as we have no say over the band and what they do, here we should be able to speak freely. I have only been reading and posting here for less than a year and i think the Mods are pretty OK and have not been too frustrated by deletions. One great action was when some freaky self appointed friend of Heather's tried to sell AK's shoes. The MOD locked it and pointed out this was totally inappropriate. I would be less supportive of locking threads through disagreements etc as i think this lends colour.
