helli ski info

To be clear: all I'm saying is that respect goes both ways.  As administrators/moderators you're just as intrinsically involved in setting the tone as we all are.
When you remove all of somebody's posts, or invasively edit somebody's post, it doesn't seem like there is much consideration given for courtesy or the golden rule.  As ski_photomatt correctly pointed out, it doesn't exactly foster trust either.  And as flowing alpy pointed out, there are certainly more respectful solutions--a time out for example.

Respect begets respect. Pretty simple--but occasionally complicated too.



btw: really happy nobody has edited the (mispelled?) title: helli ski -- appropriate, eh? 

word

The volume of non skiing posts on TAY seems inversely related to current snow quality. Meanwhile here at Jackson skiing was very wet yesterday and superb 14" fresh this morning. Sunny and challenging this afternoon. I'm thankful for all my TAY friends who've shared so many fine stashes with me, including Chris (freeski.)

I'll try adding some more detail than I did i my last post. Marcus messaged me privately about HFNC / Freeski on March 8th. I asked him about deleting topics and posts as a simple question and he just went ahead and did it point blank. I realize that Marcus should not have been involved in the first place, but it seems that NWAC members reached out to him rather than Micah or myself. This is not putting blame on Marcus, Freeski should have just been banned temporarily or permanently. Many of his posts contain valuable discussions, even if sometimes extremely controversial.

My take on FreeSki's posts is there was a bit useful information, but it was small compared to the add on rantings and "I'm being supressed" tone.  IMHO the breaking point is when he started derailing various other threads hammering again and again about his issues.

You can find bits and pieces of his posts where others quoted him.

His posts on NWAC under the handle "Vague observations for money" were another example of taking things beyond where they could be a useful contribution.

Perhaps he was unable to gain insight from this classic
