:y220e: Yup, AC Mod's do a great job keeping this site family friendly. Haven't stumbled across anything questionable yet. And I've signed on a few times in the wee hours of the morning and there are always Mod's about. Keep up the great work guys! :headbang2:
I also commend the Mods for doing a great job. I've seen posts selling cell phones quite a few times and the mods trash it within an hour every time. They also "kindly" reminded me to stop avoiding the bad word filter. lol....
Since mods are not punching a time clock here, I am sure there are times when there's not a mod scanning the boards for dirty posts. This is a big board with loads of traffic, and the mods here are volunteering their time and energy to provide us a place to talk about our hobby. Helping to run anything like this online is more taxing than imaginable to someone who has never done such. It's often quite a thankless job. All they can do is their best, but they can't stay on 24/7 to watch out for your child. That's your job.
I understand that they are not on 24/7 but the mod I contacted was online and actively posting - I realize that it is my job to watch out for my child, but I can't stand over her shoulder every second she is on the web. I think I have the right to be able to consider a website safe or not. I know that this one is well moderated, and I allow her to be on this site because of that.
I was thanking the mods on AC, not slamming them. If you are offended because I found the other website unacceptable for my daughter, I'm sorry. But she will not be allowed to browse that site at all. We should have a reasonable right to expect safety in family/hobby oriented sites.
I do agree with what you have said there Megakitty...
We do all work quite hard and put in many many hours to ensure that AC stays clean of Trolls disrupting things, bad language, spam, pornographic content...
Its one of things we ( Aquaria Central ) pride ourselves in, is promoting a "family orientated " enviroment...some sites are also very good with it too..however, some only care about certain aspects...each to their own as we say....
