nothing personal against 'fmj', but since he is so political in a majority of his posts, I believe it would be in the best interest to ask him to step down as a jeeppatriot.com Moderator.

in my opinion and that of a few others, the posting of his political agenda has gotten out of hand. I thought 'I'll just put him on my 'ignore list'. but NO, he's a Moderator and CAN'T BE IGNORED. this is wrong.

either allow us to 'ignore' Moderators OR remove 'firemothjoe' as one.

thank you.

ok.....what's up with this?

"Sorry firemothjoe is a moderator/admin and you are not allowed to ignore him or her.


I checked 'fmj' and he is NOT listed as a "Moderator" but a "Level 2 Supporter". if I attempt to 'ignore' him, I get the above message.

so...................WHICH IS IT?

It is apparently a quirk with the software.

firemothjoe is not a site moderator but he is the "moderator" of his social group tri-state MKs.

Since I am not a site admin I cannot make any kind of changes to fix this.

The sway bar is a place for non-jeep topics. If one of us doesn't like firemothjoe's comments, we can rebut them, ignore them, or start a contrary thread. He should no more be removed as moderator because someone disagrees with him than should Obama be removed because firemothjoe disagrees with him. Lighten up! :icon_rolleyes:

DMAG is the site owner and admin.
Gaze is the other admin.

Wade and myself are just moderators. We can get rid of spammers, move, delete and close threads.

"They" know better than to let people like me and firemothJoe be moderators. :D

My point is that 'fmj' is 'considered' a Moderator when you try and use the 'ignore' function. it won't let you 'ignore' a "Moderator" BUT 'fmj' is NOT a "Moderator".

I want the 'site' to be corrected. this way I can still enjoy the sway bar without the commentary from 'fmj' and others, which I HAVE already put on 'ignore' status.

again, 'firemothjoe' is NOT an actual Moderator, the system just thinks he is and therefore I can't set him to 'ignore' status.

I'll take a look into it, but making public demands like this typically isn't the best way to "grease the wheels" around here.
