The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

https://discord.gg/skisoutheast

Converse on all ski and snowboard subjects - All things skiing, snowboarding, Q&A, gear, etc.

Please attempt to keep all comments within this forum related to skiing or snowboarding related content.

Profanity and Comments STRONGLY Monitored and enforced. (Keep it Clean! G-Rated)

An absolutely useless post, It has reached the point were the moderators are becoming as much of a nuisance as the trolls. There is an increasing trend of the moderators making useless post that serve only to intimidate the other board users. We don’t need to know that more then one person uses the same computer, we don’t need to know that you are don’t like a post and are thinking of locking it or deleting it, we don’t need to know that you are a MODERATOR. We shouldn’t know these things and we really don’t care to know. If a moderator has an issue with something they it should be addressed privately with those involve not on the board. And while on the topic there was an issue last week where a moderator simply did not like a person’s constant posting in a thread that the person created for that propose, the moderator’s actions were uncalled for. The only time a post should be deleted, locked or addressed by a moderator is in instances of indecency, blatant defamation of persons, business, and resorts. Granted not all the moderators are adults the immaturity and egos of the moderators is diminishing the atmosphere of this board.



This will also be sent to mike via PM, it’s time for some changes and it would not surprise me if this post was deleted.



How is this post useless? I RARELY delete and have never locked. Instead, I prefer to educate those on the board when it looks like someone is up to some shenanigans. This prevents ridiculous flame wars and baiting people into conversations which don't even need to take place. The ultimate goal? Reducing what you call useless posts.



In regard to not even knowing who the mods are, we can't help that. The system displays it at the top of the screen. Anyhow, I think that the board should know who we are to hold us accountable (as you are rightly doing now).



As for egos, I can't speak for the others that have the moderator position, but the only reason I am doing this is because Mike asked for help and I don't want to see our board shut down by a few irresponsible folks. Feel free to take over these reigns any time you like--I can go back to causing trouble.
