I'd just like to direct some User eyeballs to this Sticky from Stephen Mick the Mod.

I don't know how many of you have seen it.
Well actually, I do. 116. In 5 days.

I imagine many are like me, your eyes tilt quickly down past the Stickys to the new posts, and miss this:
A Statement From the DVXUser Moderators
http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?369670-A-Statement-From-the-DVXUser-Moderators

We, as moderators, fell short of what our membership expects and deserves from us. Many of us, myself included, haven’t given the forums the attention we should. We haven’t helped guide the discussions in the way we’ve needed to. That is on us, and it is something we will be working hard to address moving forward.

In the meantime, we are opening the door for John to return. We are accepting responsibility for how we handled (or didn’t) this situation, and we hope this public statement demonstrates just how seriously we all take this matter.

I noticed it after I got back into town tonight and found that the Shark Jumping thread was closed, but I didn't know why.
I can speculate, but I don't know.

Back in the day, Mod Jimerson would yell "NO FRIKKIN' POLITICS!" as he slammed the door closed on a thread.
You might not agree, but you knew the reasoning.

The Brawley Brouhaha was laid out, such as it was, but other thread closures weren't.
And just as I was wondering why the Shark thread was closed and what in general was happening here, I also wondered were Mick the Mod was...
and he shows up with this Sticky! (missed ya, Mick!)

Thank you, Stephen (and all Mods). I greatly appreciate the message and sentiment of the Sticky, and I (and hopefully others) will see it as the
post-Brawley/post-Shark/post Diversity reboot of DVXuser, a place all too many may have taken for granted.

DVXuser 2.0, here's to you :beer:
 
Let's just go back to the beginning with a fresh start. What's the difference between 24p and 24pA modes again?
 
This joking is a bunch of garbage. The John Brawley ship has sailed. He was thrown under the bus, run over, and discarded. Sure, the moderators say the door is open, but who would come back after that?

Well, maybe a really swell guy, who has and incredibly stable ego and maturity, who understands what may also have been happening at the same time, which may account for why things happened the way they did.

But I didn't read any apology to John in that post, so I wouldn't expect to see John back here. It's difficult to bring things back to where they were.

They also need to remove one of the mods. Some of the Mod's PMs to JB have become public and the Mod's attitude stinks.

We've been in touch with John and we're moving forward - what we don't need right now is people throwing fuel on a fire that was well on its way to going out.

If anyone has an issue with a moderator, or with anything or anyone else, we invite you to reach out to any of us (or all of us).
We're happy to discuss things with you - but what we won't be doing is discussing this in a public forum without any of the people directly involved.

But seriously - anyone who wants to discuss this, feel free to contact myself, Stephen Mick or any of the other moderators.
Thanks.
