Thanks for your input, however, some of your facts and claims about previous moderation are incorrect. I understand why it's easy to throw judgement, so let me have a chance to explain. The moderators of this forum use their discretion, and often talk about threads such as this one in our workgroup and we have staff members from other EMTBravo sites evaluate our actions and ask them for their unbiased input. I feel that this issue relates to the hiring and standards of a department, in addition to the history possibly relating to an incident at the fire academy. These members were also tried in a court of law and convicted. It was also published in a widely read newspaper. The rule you are referring to regards issues that are COMPLETLY unrelated to issues that are discussed on this forum. For example, we don't need to discuss a firefighter who had a minor feud with his neighbor over a noisy leafblower, etc. Also, we don't need to talk about the guy who was a volunteer firefighter for three months five years ago who had kiddie porn on his computer. At the time this rule was put into place, these threads were becoming frequent and often threw judgement to people who's claims hadn't been substantiated or hadn't been convicted. Also, their usually wasn't a point to these threads and there was most often no productive discussion. In addition, there are also many "behind the scenes" things that go on with the moderation of this forum day-to-day that members don't see or understand, such as when members request that threads that they started be deleted. Nor do they know or understand the history of this forum and why certain policies are developed. If you have an issue or questions about a thread or moderation of this forum, please contact one of the staff members. We ask that, in the future, you don't "hijack" discussions about moderation issues. We do appreciate input, -Seth G.

Members- We're currently experiencing a "drought" of advertisers. Many of our advertisers have dropped out for various reasons, and despite our new forum ad system, the interest in ads seem to be lacking despite past succesful campaigns. So, in an effort to bring in new advertisers if you're able to bring us an advertiser who pays for 1 month of advertising using our new forum ad system, EMTBravo will pay you a flat rate commision of $10.00 for each advertiser you bring in. Conditions: 1. Commision payment is through PayPal ONLY. -Commisioner will be paid within ten (10) business days of ad appearing 2. Advertiser must specifically mention your name when signing up for the ad 3. You cannot recieve commision for your own ad. 4. You can earn commision for each ad you bring in. 5. Only one person can recieve the commision per advertiser. 6. Good for ads on EMTBravo.net using our new forum ad system ONLY. 7. Commision is figured into the advertisers fee, and can be rebated back to EMTBravo if the member wishes to do so. The EMTBravo Group reserves all rights. Terms and conditions are subject to change.

Due to the current drought of advertisers, we are once again re-instating this program.

Looking to move these shirts, I've reduced the price to $15, which is VERY reasonable for this type of high-quality sweatshirt. 100% of the proceeds go to funding this site.
