Cleaning up the board


Posted: Feb 4, 2017

I am in the process of cleaning up the board.  I am trying to get the board back to it's intent -  To discuss issues regarding politics.

All insults, ridicule, disrespectful, harrassing disparaging, villification, etc posts will be gone.  No side is free from blame.  Any posts calling politicians names will be gone.  Any posts calling posters names will be gone.  Any foul language will be gone.  Any taking the conversation off topic and trying to deny another person the right to enjoy the board will be gone, any talks of assassinations will be gone (whether or not you're just "quoting what some article said") and any trolls will be gone.

Users of MTStars forum are ENCOURAGED to be supportive as well as tolerant of other points of view.   My job is not to delete messages because someone believes it to not be true or whatever, my job is to keep the arguing, insults, ridicule and bad language down and keep posters within the TOS agreed to when you first started posting. 

It doesn't matter who the politician is.  When posters go past reasonable then perhaps another site that allows you to talk and act that way would be better suited for you.

MTStars reserves the right to delete any material or links to material that is libelous, defamatory, obscene, indecent, lewd, pornographic, violent, abusive, threatening, harassing, or is otherwise in violation of the law.

You do not need to respond to this message.  All replies will be deleted whether or not you agree.  I am just giving you all a heads up this board is getting cleaned up.  Everyone posting is supposed to be an adult, not acting like you are 12 years old.

My hope is by the end of the weekend this project will be done.  This is the first warning and posts will be deleted.  If you violate the terms of the board after that you will be banned.  It doesn't matter what political side you belong to.  If you continue to send me nasties it doessn't matter.  I've already been called a Trump lover and an Obama lover.  Moderating is moderating.  There are no sides.

Cleaning Up The BoardApr 19, 2012
I have gone through messages, deleted a few.  If people are talking about the issues I do not want to delete those posts.  I will try to address what I read below: Calling posters bully's.  I read the messages they were referencing and there was no bullying.  A poster is voicing their difference of opinion.  That is not biullying.  People are calling people names and when the name is called back to them they are claiming bulllying, lying, etc. Having a differ ...

I Have Been Cleaning Up The Board - Message For AllFeb 13, 2015
There have been way too many insults here directed at other posters.Please stick with political topics.For some that has been too difficult to do.  If you insult posters, take the message off topic because you don't like another persons opinion your post will be removed.  If you insult you will be banned.  No more name calling.  That means calling people stupid, haters, racists, and all the other insults that I have removed.This board is for people to talk about politica ...

Cleaning Out Under The Kid's BedJan 19, 2011
I just want to s-c-r-e-a-m!!!  I'm screaming here so I don't here at home. My little girl has way too much stuff. It starts in the summer when she has her birthday and keep building until Christmas when her room is about to explode.  Her toy box is overflowing.  Her hutch/drawers for art work is so full the drawers won't close. She can't walk inside her walk-in closet unless she walks on top of 6 inches of stuff.  So much of it is stuff she won't/can ...

Self-cleaning OvenNov 29, 2010
Well, made a huge Thanksgiving dinner (and I  have to admit the oven hadn't been cleaned in a few weeks before that) and cleaned the oven today.  Didn't realize how bad it was until the smoke started filling the kitchen and living room.  I am surprised smoke detectors didn't go off before I got windows open. I think I should still be using Easy-Off.  At least then I did it on a more regular basis.  The smoke has quit, but whole house still smells smokey. ...

Babysitting/cleaning - OMGSep 24, 2015
In a post below, I asked if it would be appropriate to clean someone's home while babysitting their 4 children. I must say - it was IMPOSSIBLE.  The children are ages 2, 4, 6 and 8.  I had trouble just keeping up with the messes they were making while I was there, let alone try and get anything else done. I told their mom the first night - "I give you credit, I dont know how you do it with all of these kids".  ...

Huge Cleaning Mess!Sep 23, 2014
Hi all, I am hoping someone can help me, someone who has experience in this. I have very shiny white tile floors, I guess they're porcelain. I wanted to clean my kitchen grout, so I used a very highly-recommended grout cleaner on the grout, then went over the entire floor with a mild detergent with my wet/dry vac. When it was all dried, I noticed a horrible film, almost like a million little water spots over the entire floor. Some are actually swirls. I troubleshooted this over the ph ...

Lady Came By Today To Apply For House Cleaning AdJul 20, 2015
she ate several Jolly Rancher candies while here and for some reason just had second thoughts about that. Just looked up drugs and perhaps relating to Jolly Ranchers. Does anyone with more knowledge about this able to fill me in? Before people start talking about our salaries and affording house cleaning, only 2 days per month and some health issues keep me from doing it all. ...

Does Anyone Else Have A Difficult Time Keeping Up With Cleaning And Other Household Chores While WorJan 10, 2015
I find that when I'm working at home, my time is spent mostly trying to get my lines in, and I don't have a whole lot of time left, and I get behind on my cleaning and other household chores.  My days off are often spent trying to catch up.  I have three children (10 and twins 7).  The oldest one tries to help a lot, but the other two not so much.  I have to find a way to get them more involved in helping.  I also have a sick husband who is at the point where h ...

Not Too Sure If This Is The Right Board For ThisJul 20, 2011
I suffer from debilitating menstrual cramps, like I cannot even stand up straight.  I usually take Toradol, which helps me.  Yesterday, though, I couldn't get in to see my doctor for a refill and I was having horrible cramps.  I went to the ER and saw the ER physician who gave me a shot of narcotics and (obviously) that made my pain go away.  He also gave me a prescription for the same narcotic to use as needed (I only usually take 4 Toradol at most each month, ...

The BoardSep 10, 2012
The following has been done. 1. Deleted all condescending remarks to other posters or making fun of them. 2. Deleted all bickering. 3. Edited/deleted any words altering a political parties name to something obscene. 4. Deleted comments that have nothing to do with the subject matter being discussed. 5. Deleted obscene pics of political people. In other words, if you insult other posters or if you are not talking about the subject being discussed your post was edited/deleted. Peo ...

Bye All. I'm Done With This Board. Jan 14, 2013
No debates, just argumentative people who ridicule others here. I found another political site that has sensible debates and don't ridicule those who have opinions differing from themselves.  Only a few I'll miss on here:  RC, Trigger Happy, and The Sarge and a couple others that really don't use a moniker that I can remember. LOL Good luck to those who decide to stay. ...

Wow - This Board Is Getting HitFeb 26, 2013
With condescending, snide remarks. Here goes:  Someone is upset that someone wrote a poster did not get something, figures.  But ya'll are okay with: "The positions you state have about as much intellectual integrity as jello" (to spell it out - you are stupid (i.e. no intellect)) Well, darn, that's a great story, but I can't ''like'' it because - I know you meant it as ridicule (The whole post ridiculing what the OP posted, yet not talking about ...

Not Sure This Is The Right BoardMar 12, 2013
Had a job interview on Friday.  Really liked the manager and would love to work there.  I was 1 of 7 people he interviewed  for his assistant.  Today, Tuesday, he is to go over his "notes" and make his decision.  I am in my late 50's and not expecting to get the job.  Too many "younger" people with better computer skills.  I hate the thought of having to go through the whole process of interviews, etc.  I have not looked for a job in over 15  yea ...

This BoardSep 29, 2016
I started looking at this board mostly to see different people's thoughts and perspectives about this year's Presidential election.  Instead, for the most part I found snarky - and even frequently way beyond the bounds of civility - comments and wild speculation, uninformed claims backed by absolutely no presentation of facts, focus on items of a ridiculously low level of importance to our survival as a country and a world leader, and apparently little respect for - primarily - De ...

Ad On Job Wanted Board.Feb 05, 2012
What if you saw an ad like this on Jobs Wanted: Old worn-out and partially deaf MT seeking unrewarding job with harsh work conditions. Prefer long hours and mush-mouth or Mickey mouse dictators. Also prefer demanding, irrational and unreasonable managers who fire employees at drop of a hat. I enjoy being kept in the dark and having complete silence when asking for assistance. I am also partially blind, so don't expect miracles. If the above qualifications meet your job requirement ...

It Would Be Nice If We Could Have A Board Nov 13, 2009
Lets try to get back to topics, instead of calling conservatives trolls and all the other derogatory comments.  Sure maybe your side thinks its funny.  Well actually they do becuase you pat each other on teh back about what a great insult that was, but what it boils down to is that it is quite immature.  Most of the posts are cutting others down.  The term "teabaggers" is also offense and those who post know this.  They are just trying to get a rise out of people.  ...

unions, combined with the recent relaxation of child labor laws, I guess working for a living will be a family affair.  Who knows?  Maybe it will bring families together.  They can all get ready for work together.  No more school since they will be closed and a thing of the past.  The kiddies can work alongside Mom and Dad.  The more kids, the better, since families will need all the money they can get while they're working and scratching their way over the pov ...

Some Thoughts About This Board, Etc. Mar 18, 2012
I respect everyone’s right to their opinions.    We have a 2-party system in this country, thankfully, although  at times I wish it were more, and if we all thought the same, or weren’t allowed to disagree, we would probably not be living in a democracy.    This is my issue.   When I hear, for example, some conspiracy theory on how Obama’s (or it could be anyone) agenda is to ruin the country, turn it into a socialist state  (wh ...

Cleaned Up The BoardMay 20, 2012
I have cleaned up the board to what I hope everyone will agree on.  I have deleted a ton of messages.  I have only gone back through 5/15.  I will work on earlier posts, but will have to be at a later date.  I tried to be fair to everyone and hope this is.  If someone really has a problem with a post they find most offensive feel free to post a link here and I will fix it. Thanks and have a great weekend. Moderator ...

"To an observer, it looks like the sharks lose their mind biting at anything that's in their way in an uncontrollable rage. They thrash around, their snouts elevating and their backs arching, all signs that indicate an impending attack. Some accounts tell of sharks eating each other and of sharks continuing to feed even after they've been disemboweled by other sharks." ...

Only Occasionally Come To This Board, OMGApr 14, 2016
Occasionally come here just to view different opinions on current topics.  It is amazing to read this board today and what is important (or entertaining) to people.  I understand that different people look at things differently, and I understand people have individual opinions.  What I don't understand is the actual topics of conversation that some seemingly intelligent people consider important to discuss/debate.  ...
