 |

| When an average Joe off the street , expresses an a interest in Russia, maybe wants to ask a few questions, and he comes on these boards, is it okay for two jerks like Vitalsigns and Spice to leap on everything they say, badger them until they are forced to leave the site? Or get angry and retaliate, thereby causing flamed posts everywhere? Do the average people who have simple questions to ask, deserve to be attacked by Russians? What sort of an image does that put forth about Russians? As moderators, what exactly is your job, because it appears you have nothing to say really. And lately, I've been seeing posts popping up that would suggest that Dmitry takes peoples money, with very little regard for whether they actually are satisfied with services. Is that how this site is run? Thats kind of what I hear about Russia lately. The voices of the few are more important than the voices of the many. Not to mention the fact that many times you can't even log on because of some error in the program. I belong to many other Russian and foreign sites, and their sites don't crash, or get hacked by powerful. This site is circling the bowl, better fix it, don't you think, before you ask poeople to spread the word about you? I wouldn't give you a nickel for a thumbnail ad on this site. So either answer me, or ban me, the choice is yours. BTW, as moderators, you all suck. IMHO |

| In the Mods defense, they are trying their hardest. There is only 2 active moderators currently and I'm sure the job is challenging. |

I don't know man, but does that concerrn you a little that it's even happening at all? I guess we don't have a lot of really personal info on here, but what about viruses? |

Zach, c'mon now. They do nothing. They say it's okay in Non Relevent, and that's fine. But Spice shits all over the Talk Lounge, how is that okay? The job is not that challenging. Other than Spices stupidity, they would have little to do. Talk lounge is supposed to be free of that bullshit. How can anyone have a conversation when an idiot like spice is constantly interrupting with his stupid comments? Vitalsigns is a Gay bashing Muslim hater. They should not be here, either one if them. |

| I agree that their crap should not be posted in the Talk Lounge; but there is little we can do about it. |

We can remove it. But I can tell you I'm getting fed up at cleaning the posts from the same few guys over and over again. Only thing witholding me so far is that I have no real ban control myself and Dmitri would probably not choose for a temporary ban.

Exactly right. Hence the term "moderator" And let me repeat, I do NOT care about non relevent, that's what it's there for, but Talk Lounge should be off limits to rude people like Spice and Vitali. And I'm sure as hell not going to start whining to the mods through PMs or any other way. I'm saying my piece here and now, so all can see. Unlike Spice and Vitali, I'm not scared to show my face anywhere. I don't have to hide behind fake names and pictures, launching immature attacks on people from behind a computer screen. They should both prove they are men and act as such. |

Just don't allow it in talk lounge, only in non relevent. You may not think so, but when I post in Talk Lounge I want serious conversation, not a couple of boneheads badgering me till I chime in on their stupidity, or leave. Others have left because of those two. People who could have contributed much to this site. They got chased off by Spice and Vitali. Maybe they will still come back, especially if you can't be removed from the list. They had rights here too, or so they assumed. Tell you what Rick, you do your thing and keep Spice and Vitali's rudeness out of talk lounge, and I'll try to ignore them in non relevent. I really did want to hear from some of the people here, otherwise I wouldn't be bothering you like this now. I would just stick to the other sites and get people's email addresses. It would be a loss, if you keep letting a couple of people control who can or can't post here. I read the travel forums, but if I post anything , there's a chance the two boneheads will jump on it, they have in the past.IMHO |

That's very true . Death threats are just as bad as gay bashing or any other hateful stuff. |

Well I can tell you ignoring doesn't work. How do you ignore it when every second post is a personal insult? I already have some of the people I like on my 360 page, so maybe I'll just collect the desirables and give up on this site. It's unfortunate that some of the Russian folks on here won't sign up for things like 360 out of mistrust, but I can't really blame them. |

| Well.. this seemed more like feedback. I'll move the shouting contest into 'not relevant' and then i'm off to bed. it's getting late. We could use a transatlantic mod added to the team... |

| To Spice.... Why do you feel it is your personal duty to destroy people's enjoyment here? Why don't you and Vitali both grow up and act like the men you claim to be, instead of schoolyard bullies? |

| We should have a couple of guys banned in here. It might be the only way to contain the problem. |
