Anybody know how to get back in touch with Moody?

Recently one of the sticky threads underwent a major cleansing, which was not necessary IMO. The comments made should've been left for folks to read. I wonder if this comment will be allowed to stay.

On SHs there are never deleted posts or threads. The place is pretty much self policing.......and there are no issues. Start silly **** there, and you'll be gang banged. And the gang banging will be forever there for all to see.

That's what happened. The "catcher," a knowledgeable and much respected AS member, seriously overreacted to a simple request, got called on it by several members (they were actually fairly polite in their comments), continued to overreact, and started lashing out. And now because of the clean-up, some folks won't know what happened.

One of the diesel forums was like that. Very little problems with any one.

And thats ok but if the site owners wanted to run this site that way then they would. However, the site staff was given instructions and the ability to delete posts as we see fit but keep it consistent with the site rules. So you can imagine there is some grey space about when to delete and when not to delete. Thats about all there is to it, personal attacks, arguing with staff, sharing personal information with public is a fair game. Im pretty leient about what people post and am willing to let a lot of things go as long as it doesnt esculate. If you guys want to patition deleting posts then take it up with the site owners but I believe the surrent staff including myself are fair, dont have an agenda and try to balance the appropriate use of deleting posts. If you ever have a question about why something was deleted the proper thing to do is contact the mod with a PM and ask. About the worst thing to do is cop an attitude and ask why your posts were deleted in thread. Take that conversation to a PM.

Yeah Marshy, we know that the mods here follow the owner's design. We're not blaming you guys. We're just expressing the facts. Deleting posts is wrong in the case of a disagreement. Every member should be able to read both sides of every dispute. When posts are deleted, then people can't see what really happened. It also leads to members having resentments......and, as you've seen, forming "conspiracy theories" about posts, members, PMs, and everything in between.

Why anyone would want to be a mod here is beyond me.

Also........I think that these "new" mods are trying to be fair. Marshy even called me yesterday, and we had a great talk. That's a big step in my mind.....and I appreciated it.

If Moody still has customers saws (probably not) and you get them back, I will help with the shipping cost to get them returned to their owner.

+1. If we can just get some of the saws picked up by a reputable member locally, Im sure the owners of said saws would cover getting their saws shipped back. Someone other than Moody needs to ship the saws, Im sure if the owners sent him the money, the temptation to use it for something other than it's intended purpose would be too great, and then they are out even more money.

Thanks for recognizing that. A couple of other members dont appear to have that same opinion nor follow the same approach so I appreciate that you recognize that.

If someone was really stupid enough to send Moody more money to ship a saw back he's had for a year.....well, there is little hope for them.

Aint that the truth ^^^

It's a shame some of you folks got burned by this guy. Chances are, if it's gone on this long, not a single saw exists any longer. When he got the physical saws sent to him, plus the port work money, plus return shipping money for same...why would he only steal one thirds or two thirds of the deal (port money and return ship money), and not go the full three thirds, hence the saws themselves are more times than not, history. I've personally never seen a one thirds/two thirds thief. I hope for you folks sake that dealt with this fool, that he may somehow still have them, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it. Sad but I believe it's going to be reality. If any member(s) did make physical contact with him...it'd just be another lie/BS line stacked on top of all the rest.

Meh........give em time. They'll likely come around.

I see more progress being made just in the last week about some lingering issues here than I've seen since I joined.

Keep in mind that this site means a lot to me. I don't have a "day job", porting saws is all I do. The last thing I wanna see is folks get burned and turned off to the idea of sending a saw off for mod work. That means looking out for the health of the site to me.

Who ain't bn there

At one time I had my phone number and email in my sig. It lead to new guys thinking I work for AS, and was just here to answer questions about their saws. It became a full time job just fielding calls. I'll never post my phone number on this site again......if that bothers anyone........oh well. My email in on my profile page.
I've had two guys that were shitheads. That's not bad considering how many saws I've done over the years.

I figured that folks posting a phone number would not work out well, it is a shame. The profile page looks to be an excellent place for a feedback setup. Hope it works out for folks, over time sure has been a lot of questionable business experiences resulting in a lot of disappearing saws, money and site members. It is currently a mail order craigslist add so there will be some questionable stuff going on.
