Totally agree. Thank you HF moderators for maintaining a forum that supports interaction between the members
as if we were all sitting around the same campfire sharing our thoughts, opinions and innovations.

I agree with the above comment. I would bet that 100% of the folks who use this forum have actually been sitting around a campfire sharing thoughts. I think we mostly approach our posts within that paradigm. I feel that, really, no one here uses anonymity as a divisive tool. We all own what we say. That indicates that we respect ourselves and we respect our fellow posters. We actually care what the others think about our ideas. And just as much, I think, we care what the others think about the way in which we present ourselves to each other. That mutual respect makes this a site which is enjoyable, exciting, enriching, and embracing.

This is a very friendly forum. I use to browse White Blaze but it got to the point there that it seemed every time someone asked a question they were being attacked.

And all the evidence you need for the class act that is Hammock Forums is to see how quickly this 'thank the moderators' thread has grown. It's a pleasure to be here!

Thanks for your hard work mods! And classy members too!

It's a delightful expose on Trolls (written in 2008, yet still relevant today!). I just wanted to express my gratitude for the great moderators here, but also to the group for playing along and playing nice. Yes, we have some quirky rules and occasionally we get ruffled, but overall, things run smoothly.

I also think that having real world interactions, like our group hangs, is another way that encourages us to play well together, because, yes -- we are real people! We all have our flaws, shortcomings, (even shortsightedness at times), but the overall effect is a general congeniality that makes me want to come back day after day (hour after hour?).

Thanks guys!

Trolls??? I thought at first you were talking about the Mods. Cannibals avatar could pass as one!!

I have not been on a lot of forums, but sure love this one. The only changes that SHOULD be made are...............................ummmmmmmm....... .......hmmmmmmm can't think of any.

True. Thanks guys (and gals).

I decided the best way to say thanks was to get one of those spiffy banners under my username.

Thank you all for making this a really nice website.
