Sorry. I sent too fast. I have more to say. I mean to say, We are independent here at Snuffhouse. We owe some debt to the man who keeps the lights on, but he’s not really in charge, he really leaves us to run our own affairs. If you have an issue with how something is handled or some other general aspect of the forum in general, please let us know. You can contact me, 2nd Alex @Xander, or Chris our prime admin @cstokes4 or @ermtony or @miamimark. We’d be happy to take your comments to heart. There’s so few of us and we really do talk through every issue. If you have something to say, it can be made anonymously to any one of us. Nigel, @Abraxas and 1st Alex @Alex are now retired but we value any input they may have, so if you have any personal comments and/or a personal relationship with any of these gents, you can contact them and be assured it will be handled with the utmost delicacy, scrutiny, diplomacy, and decency. If you have an issue with one of us moderators - (we’re all conforming to our own personal judgment- and not perfect). Then by all means contact @MrSnuff or write an open letter if all other ends fail. We’ve had our ups and downs over the years, and I, myself have only been here four years. (They asked me to be a mod/admin long after that._probably because I participate a lot- I must like snuff, or something) But there have been members here long before me, and---- participating/knowledgeable members — after me, and all their opinions are valuable. Personally, I don’t like the collusion of business with culture, so I let you guys say what you want, and keep most of my opinions to myself. ( I would regulate “David’s” opinions in the same way, but he’s self policing enough to make it a non-issue. I think he understands very well that a free forum is more beneficial to his business interests than a controlled one. So @Supervape we are all part-timers, and I don’t think any of us has time to police the chat room. Personally, I can barely keep up with the daily posts,and maybe more help (vetted volunteers) is on the horizon for us. As I said Dave is hands off, Its a great compliment to know he trusts our judgement ( because we could see if he was altering anything; and we would know if he tried to impede our actions) , but a further compliment to know that some disagreement is transpiring without regulation. From my experience: Other businesses are welcome here so long as they are either participating members (like Nigel, Tom, Jaap or Roderick) Or they pay for advertising space like Snusdirect. Spamming is frowned upon and usually deleted without comment as other businesses have established themselves and paid for their space, sometimes the owners of other places sometimes make mention of their business but that’s ok, so long as they are not blatant. There are long established snuff makers and snuff vendors who have accounts here, and they post once or less per year. We’re ok with this. We wish they would help foot the bill, but its not a big deal, and we have nothing ill to say to them. We’re grateful for their past labors, products and services. Please continue this discussion through PMs (to mods or those you trust) or standard public posts in this thread. Snuffhouse’s mission is still to promote general love and appreciation of snuff. We hope to further and expand its appreciation. we welcome open-forward discussion of this matter. We are not an arm of Mr. Snuff, his interest is simply that our interest coincides with his. We really want this forum to be the best that it can be. We want our members to feel comfortable here and comfortable with each other. We accept dissent, but we want to accomodate/mollify it rather than silence it. Thanks for reading my diatribe. I get one once a year or so, hopefully not overstepping my bounds, but do it with the forum’s interest, not my personal ones. I’m here: @Xander for any lambasting. Peace X
