Who are the mods here? | Arthritis Information

i'm just curious as to whom the mods are here..

so I can pm them.. lol

thanks

There are no mods. Sorry! There used to be, then the site got sold, and it's kinda been a free-for-all ever since.

We have the site owner/admins contact info if you'd like it. But so far no volume of emails and messages seems to rattle his cage. We've gotten NOTHING out of him.

NO mods??!!!

ACK.. thats a serious problem..

(been on a lot of forums before).. imo.. you need a MOD board...to help control things..

Also, to whomever, keeps repeating every single post, NOT to use meds.. and some chinese herb, please stop Preaching.. omg...

fab that it works for you.. but theres a line..

LOL Oh hunny, you are wasting your finger usage on that one! We've gone round and round and round and back again with that one! Best that you just skip over reading his posts!

Admin name on here is Ernest. You can try to PM him, but I am sure his inbox is full. He never responds and I have been PMing him off and on for 2 years now.

I have all the contact info for Ernest including an address, telephone number, and a fax number. I have emailed him several times and no response. Now I am about to put it in writing. I even told the guy he is open to a lawsuit because of the slander that someone was doing to me. No response at all. And by the way....in the terms of service of the forum....it does state that all info about someone will be turned over to the courts in the event of a lawsuit. So...mebbe now with that info...things will chill out around here. You can be sued for slander and this site has to turn over their records of you to the court. [QUOTE=Whispered]

Why whispered? So we cannot say how we feel to eachother? Another
attempt at ruining our rights to free speech? And chinese herbs and
other alternative treatments may work for some. Not all of us are
interested in poly pharmacy like many on this board. I want to know what
everyone has tried, and the successes. If you do not like a topic, skip it.
It may interest me. What is with this board lately?

lorster - whispered is referring to kokonuts88. And we all know his story.

As for the board, I think there is a full moon in cyberspace lol joonie. I knew but I don't discount kokonuts. It has worked for him/her.
If we had moderators, topics would be at the discretion of the moderator
and the board would no longer be interesting and fun. Don't you think?

no, not really, I use to be admin of a board where anything went, except bashing of other legitimate members, and post that just got out of hand. I do not really mind censorship, as long as it is done for the right reasons.

Totally agree with you Lorster.

Also...as far as koko goes...I agree...if it works for him, that's great and someone else may want to look into it. My sister-in-law's father was told he had cancer...in the throat area I believe. Was told nothing could be done for him. He's Chinese and decided to go back to Hong Kong for treatment there. There didn't use the traditional medicines like they do here. He was there for a year and when he came back his doctors found no more cancer. He's been cancer free for years now.

Wow that is awesome!! I hope the cancer stays far far away never to return!

OK-- for those of you trying to help others, GOD BLESS YOU! Being new here, none of you know me and I don't know anything about you that is why you should pay attention. There is too much drama here. People like me that are desperately seaching for answers while depressed already DO NOT NEED THIS DRAMA.

Thanks but no thanks,

Stacy

All you need to do is pass on the drama posts and just read what interests you.

The sad thing is I really need this place and this help. I don't want to be the source of any more drame trust me-- from what I can tell... this is the only RA besides rasushi right? Please don't take this the wrong way. I am a very peaceful person and do not like confrontation I am just very sick. What a shame your only response is to move on along - no worries about changing the way things are done.

No...there are others...try RAtalk.com

Very nice ppl there.

No there are other sites if you'd really like to visit them - some of us float from board to board.

www.rheumamisfits.cm

www.4ratalk.com

www.rheumorweb.com

www.arthritis.org

www.butyoudontlooksick.com

and yes, www.rasushi.org

I don't want to see you leave here, as this is the first place that people come, and still the most active board as far as RA related information goes.

Ummm...you thought I told you to move along? No...just thought it would be easier for you to just read what you were interested in.

Hmm...thought I was being nice about it...that's why I added the smiley face. Sorry if you were offended by my post. There are TONS of good sites out there for support forums for RA. Here are just a few of them. Google might help out with finding more.

http://www.rheumamisfits.com/ www.4ratalk.com http://rheumahasit.jconserv.net/index.php www.butyoudontlooksick.com

thanks Katie...I forgot the 4 for ratalk.She meant for you to skip over the posts that are drama, and only read the ones that really interest you.

It's hard to change people's behavior on a board that is so.............free range. I know, it stinks. It will pass though.
Katie

I would have joined RA sushi but, to be honest it's much too hard on my eyes.

If you notice this board is easy on the eyes. I only wish it had a feature where you can just bring up the posts you havent read. Or maybe there is one and I cant find it. There is, in the upper right hand corner,you can click "view posts since last visit"

Oh, and we're working on the option for people to change the color scheme on their own! I'm sorry it's hard on your eyes!!!

whispered just go back through this thread and through the whole board and you will see who moderates and runs this forum and it is RAsushi they control almost everything that happens. They are so busy advertizing here that very little arthritis information is allowed. Here is a list of RAsushi people and you will see who runs everything here. crunchy..grammaskittles..arriscolwell..hillhoney..rasara82.. deanna..

msmidge..alan..roxy..pam416..owiedeb..pincushion..kiwilass.. kelstev..

93kathy10..jodejjr..phatgirl2..littlemermaid..meme..bonny..j oonie..

ninichicken..marian..hessalina..cindee..jinx. and others

So if you have a problem here just take it to them and they will straighten it out for you.

dammit i never get included in anything

You sound a little like someone else we haven't heard from it a few days.

How odd this all is.

About.com and ProHealth.com also offer boards dedicated to arthritis.

I am a member of about.com and it has a moderator.

Sheesh! Now it is a sin to belong to another RA board. I have not put one post on any of these recent topics. I have only tried to answer questions regarding RA to the best of my ability along with asking a few of my own.

Well along with rasushi I also post at 4ratalk, butyoudon'tlooksick, healingwell, rheumamisfits, roadback and palindromicrheumatism. For me knowledge is power and RA has put me on a path to search for any help I can get along with maybe, just maybe helping others as well.

And here I thought that keeping my opinion to myself regarding these topics would surely keep me out of trouble.

KAREN YOU ARE SO A COMMUNIST!! HOW DARE YOU DENY US!!

LMAO

Lovie yes, you're not a sushi member but I'm sure they MEANT to include you. Don't let it get you down ;-) Hahahaha
