I'm curious who gives you guys the job though
How did you get it?
I mean 3 of you just showed up and are essentially given the job when you weren't even involved here
Other than Hache who was already a mod it is a bit odd
Hot rocks is the only guy who has been around who is a mod and I am curious why he was chosen too

I'm not a mod, I'm the forum manager/admin and I was hired by the company to take care of this task and others.
HotRocks was recommended by Hache and Ts was brought in to help mod the site.
Karla is not a mod either, she is also part of the corporate side, takes care of uploading our affiliate deals.
New ownership, new people.
Is it safe to say that the corporation wants to dissociate itself from unpopular and politically incorrect posters and it has decided that editing posts/threads carte blanche is the way to go?
If new ownership thinks that following the blueprint of SBR/BMR hard line moderation approach is going to improve traffic here there are going to be proven mistaken when they review things next year because SBR/BMR and other sites already have the monopoly on posters interested in enrolling into poster protection programs.
It's not a coincidence that the world is being divided into those who want more government interference(moderation) and those who want less - TheRx is just encouraging the posters who want less moderation to try an find other forums that don't delete/edit their content.
The corporation wants this to be a fun forum, safe for all users. We don't want bullying, hate and personal attacks upon our members and most of anything, we want the rules of the forum to be respected so all of our members feel safe sharing and commenting.
This is not a political forum, it's a sports forum and like everything else in life, its got rules and we expect those to be respected, if they aren't we will make sure that they are. We allow people to be free and share what they want but this is not a place where our members will feel bullied into not coming back, doxing is not allowed. Racism is not allowed, Xenophobia is not allowed, you can find out more about our rules here:

And I'm sure @HotRocks and @TSshmoney can answer any questions you might have about them.
Not just that...it's pretty clear that there are many Rx posters that do not want the sort of moderation that we have now and there is also those that love the new super moderators...the way TheRx has chosen the deal with this situation thus far will drive certain posters away while protecting others which will result in less posters overall...why not try to keep all the posters instead of driving some of them away?
One group of posters is trying to convince TheRx that by protecting them and policing others will bring more posters here...that reasoning is self serving their interest and not the interests of the others.
I think the key to bringing more traffic to TheRx is not by increased policing of posters but instead by making TheRx a more fun place to spend time at...to do that TheRx has to have fun content...not just having a safe place to post that's not fun it's just boring like a bar where all the cops hang out...the best bars are the ones where you don't even notice there is security.
Funny how the only posts we need to edit are from the same 5-6 members day after day, and they are the ones that ALWAYS complain and obviously have a problem with being told what they can or can't post, i.e., RULES of the Forums
It's pretty layed back here I think, just follow the rules that are pretty much common sense, and everything is fine
We aren't forcing anyone to stay here, if no one likes it here they can leave and go elsewhere, plenty of other forums out there that could fit a person's needs, but posters being ran off cause of bashing, harassing, bullying, etc... we will surely do our best that doesn't happen.

TheRx should consider that unreasonable moderation is a form of bullying too...and just creating a safe place for the button pushing posters won't create better content that is fun for the gambling target group...think of the best places to have fun gambling are at adult places where words aren't policed...that is why a PG Disneyland theme casino and sports bar would not successfully financially...while the private social clubs where gamblers like to spend time gambling and watching sports where people can harmlessly insult each other are more successful.The corporation wants this to be a fun forum, safe for all users.

Forums are just words nobody dies from words so the bullying claim is being exaggerated and used by some to get back at others.
