Good to be a Shave My Face member

I just wanted to tell.

I have not experienced any of kiss my ass feeling from moderators of this site. They seem to know that we are participating to make this forum work with our posts.

Never I post a thread that has not some meaning in it. This is an exception of me posting a new thread.

The other site you all know has gillette vintage merchandising threads as a flood. And I feel it is a quite close warming circuit. Censoring this and that to make moderators to have power.

I hope this forum stays as it is and me being an appreciated member.

Jarmo, I agree.

It's a shame when a forum is spoiled by over-bearing moderators feeling like they constantly have to be "doing" something, ie. undermining other forum users.

I've always felt this place was a gentleman's forum.

This place is more like a gentleman's club where good behavior is expected.

I did not come to this site first when I began my DE learning curve, but I'm glad to be here now. There is a welcome sense of maturity at this locale.

It is the difference between NPR and cable news.

Couldn't agree more with all of the comments, especially Squire's ... I like the lack of shave police on SMF, its like a true democracy where freedom of speech is encouraged.

I couldn't agree more. Of the several message board I frequent this one, and The Shave Den, are the most civilized, informative, and pleasurable to read. It's very good to be among gentlemen who know how to conduct a conversation and to disagree without being disrespectful. There is too little of these qualities on the Internet but they abound here. I only wish there was a bricks and mortar place like this near my house.

Jarmo,

I also like it here very much. I like other forums too, but this place has a whole different environment that I enjoy a lot.

By the way I just noticed your PM from Oct 7th today. Shows how observant I am. I didn't want you to think I was rude, but instead just very
inattentive!

I was going to post, but on second thoughts I had better keep quiet!

The strength of the forum is in its members, and we are lucky to have the best around.

The strength of SMF is the gentlemanly atmosphere. Bad behaviour is not tolerated either by the members or the moderators. Reasonable disagreement is acceptable, personal insult is not

I thought my tenure here would be long enough to catch up with my WS learning curve and then be 'down the road.'
I was offline recently for 10 weeks because of personal family issues and that vulgar impediment called money. I returned to find myself BANNED from a forum I moderated for 8 years and two others for 'rude behaviour' in not replying to pms.
I'm sticking around ( no sighs please.)
Well, online at least. I have to go pick up a family member in Southern California traffic now. Pray for me.

Niin on, Jarmo -- precisely one of the reasons I have never strayed from SMF to any other shaving site. Even as I have drifted to more activity in some photo and car forums, I still find myself rooted in this community. It is so much more about shaving -- and this group of folks is outstanding.

Thanks all -- and thanks Jarmo for bringing this up.

A big + on this one!

Thanks to all!

i agree with all the above. i rarely go to another site except to look at a review which can turn out to be useless. (hint)
i also enjoy the gentlemanly reparte`. i wonder, has a member ever been banned from this forum?

Banned? Oh, yes indeed....BUT...we don't do so lightly, nor usually, quickly. It is a whole process that is gone through, one which gives the miscreant plenty of time to clean up his act ( if he's so inclined ). It is in such times that we really work....but most of the time we moderators are pretty lazy and content to kick back ( besides trying to be gentlemanly and mature, of course...harrumph! ). Anyway, Jarmo, I'm most pleased to hear that you feel you've found a comfortable 'home' here at SMF, and I'm glad that you chose to join us.
Regards,
Gordon
