<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 3469274, member: 15199&quot;]Unfortunately, only the staff can access the area where Doug gives his guidance as to how the forum will run as the Admin/owner wants it to be run. It is provided by their money and efforts and the appreciated supporters, so they make the rules, they can over ride mods decisions, (very common when mods are new until they learn) until they have what they want. The idea of a rogue mod is very humorous as such would only exist until noticed by the admins and then no longer be a mod. It seems simple...The admins set the rules and tone of enforcement, the mods have to follow it, if the members do not like it and try to change it, they should start their own forum or go to a forum which allows everything to go ( and they might not like it as they would not be the vociferous one there ). Peter has provided a wonderful forum for numismatics , and he wanted it to comfortable for all, and some members are on every day answering the same questions over and over, knowing only 1/100 if lucky will stay and learn, but their efforts are the engine of the forum. Others just come for the drama and conflict like cheering in a bull fight, and they are not wanted as they do not fulfill the philosophy of the forum. No one got a bum deal on this current issue,&nbsp; despite the conspiracy theories that people like to have and hold dearly. Without Peter and Doug, this forum would not be here, I do not see the rules or way it is run changing, nor would I want them to change.&nbsp;&nbsp; ( My opinion only, not speaking for the forum itself)</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
