What are the duties of a moderator? Do they include monitoring EVERY thread and making sure that EVERY reply is right in line with their version of what is being talked about? Is this board really that strict? I don't like threads that I'm part of being locked up all the time. It seems like this has just started up in the last month and every week there's threads that are all of a sudden gone or locked. It's getting extremely irritating and I know that I'm not the only one that's tired of it. The minute anyone makes the slightest joke about something, BOOM, someone blows up the thread. Personally I like to laugh. In the past that's been something that I've really enjoyed about this board is that everyone seems to really be having fun but the past several weeks someone has been putting a screaching halt to it.

Raptureready, I love your avatar. Is it an available pattern or an original?

It is pretty disheartening to know you're not allowed to have the "wrong" opinion on here....

OK I will answer in general terms here and I am only speaking for myself. Do I read every post and every answer , believe it or not pretty much, yes.

What are the rules of the board ... here is a link

http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-30553-1.htm

That also includes a list of the duties of a moderator.

If I have questions about a post I send it on for better advice and guidance.

Sorry, fixed the link

At the extreme risk of hijacking my own thread and getting it shut down, I'll answer you. :lol:

If you click on Search then type in "Directions for Frames quilt (my avy)" it should come up. The directions are sketchy, no fabric requirements, but all the cutting and sewing ones are there. I posted it around Mar. 24th of this year.
