That is because you are not giving me much to work it. I thought that mods would moderate a thread that generated constant reports and made most of the mods not want to see it.
We did, we closed it.

Yep, by locking it but still maintaining access to it. You just ignored the thread till it became too big for you to handle.
There are numerous post that are very similar to recent ones posted but no actions were taken back then. They are still there if you want to see. It's just inconsistent moderating.
I debated just attaching to one of the many open threads on this but decided - HEY, THEY ALL STARTED ONE, I SHOULD TOO. Seriously though, I wanted to make sure it didn't get lost.
Recently we closed a thread that had been open for years. There was always an unwritten caution on that thread indicating the pictures inside it may not be appropriate. I understood that and a handful of the moderators understood that. I stopped viewing it and I know others did as well. We have a system whereby items can be reported and it was used plenty for that thread. That's how we chose to deal with it then, again unwritten or discussed. Now, after getting a PM from someone on the site asking us to revisit the appropriate nature of the thread in whole, we discussed it. Those that got a chance a vote agreed that its time should probably be over and that it had degraded if it didn't start that way initially anyway. If anything is true, we know there is no one line when it comes to what is appropriate or inappropriate when we talk about each of us as an individual.
Thanks for the thoughtful post. I want to catch up with the rest of this thread when I have time, but I thought I'd quickly share with you that several of your moderators don't broadcast this same understanding of the nuances of rules and grey areas that surround them. Hopefully somebody has already mentioned this.
How do you figure? It has been said that there is no line set in stone, 3 mod rule to help with this...
BigB's idea is a good one too imo.

Oh, so you are familiar with all of the moderator discussions and how that thread was moderated over the course of its existence?
You're confusing not regularly visiting the thread with not moderating the thread. It was never off our radar. Any report that was received was handled. At a certain point, it was decided that the thread needed to be retired.
Moderators aren't the police. We don't patrol the board looking for wrongdoing.
Jason, just want to say I very much appreciate this thread.
Thank you!
So has the tire fire been put out yet?
