OT close call

Does it involve more than the big island?

When people say Hawaii....I always assume it's the Big Island

If you ever need a hand for a week or two, I’m retired........I haven't been on a sailboat for almost 20 years and to say my former skills would be rusty is a serious understatement but I’m always game (some might say gamey)........

I marked it down. Would you be willing to travel to some off the track place, like, say Prince Rupert BC?

Been a stressful summer. Need to start planning for the start of the season meeting with the Blazers. That's always a grind, a delicate dance of begging and demanding swag and events for the forum.

Begging doesn't seem to do any good. I remember getting down on my knees once but it did no good. The fake tears seemed to also do no good. I think you're on to me.

Simplest answer, this forum will always be run as more of a community than just a regular forum.

That means we will work with people instead of trying to find ways to get rid of them.

Permanent bans will always be the very last resort and that is after many conversations privately with the person.

Temporarily banning someone from individual threads is something new that we're trying.

Honestly, the results have been mixed if that is an effective tool.

Because this is a Blazer forum, actually "the" Blazer forum, personal insults in the OT section vs the main forum will be treated differently.

I'm gonna coin a new phrase. It takes a forum to moderate a forum. I believe that's a new concept. Okay, okay I accept your nomination to be King.

Isn't Hawaii the name of the State?

I always refer to the islands by their respective names but yes...of course. Hawaii is also the name of the Big Island as you know.

each island is also a county in our state government's structure. the big island is hawaii county.
