Wrong Thread???

Oct 30, 2006 7:46AM PST

I'm sorry,but I just have to say this in some post.(Hopefully it's not the WRONG one).I read a question that a member posted yesterday.Apparently it was too SIMPLE question,that the answereing MOD. thought was too simple to be asked.The MOD.'s answer(or at least a big part of it was:This isn't the Computer Newbies Thread.!!) Look we all aren't for sure where to post questions sometimes(meaning WHICH thread),but I don't think ANY MOD. should tell any member"this isn't the Comp. Newbies section,you know." The MOD. I'm sure knows who he is,AND to be honest this isn't the first time he's been condescending to a member.That's why members pose questions,for badly needed help,or maybe it is a "stupid question to a MOD. who knows it all & thinks the question is beneath him.But,we all aren't as well aquainted with computers as said mod.Thanks for the time & space for my opinion(hope it's the RIGHT thread).All my questions from now on will be in the comp. newbies section.!!AND I hope THAT mod. doesn't answer.!!

In my opinion, that is unacceptable

action by a Mod. My first recco is that you send a Mod alert from the particular message.

In the lower part of the post is "report offensive message" Then expllain in the message and send it. The message will go to numerous Moderators. They may then choose to reply to you or forward it to Lee Koo the boss of these forums, for his observation.
