Eight site administrators stationed in various parts of the country, all in various time zones, attempt to keep the discussion threads civil, respectful, and on point.  They are the guardians at the gate so-to-speak, and they do most excellent work.   None of them, nor I, are paid for our efforts – This is a labor of love, and it is time-consuming.
In an effort to keep the “spirit of the site” intact sometimes we are forced to place people into various stages of moderation.  We do not like doing this, nor do we intend censorship, however I cannot allow them to end up chasing threads and dustups, and then deal with endless e-mail and fuss about how they handled the dustups etc, etc.
There’s simply not a practical way to keep flying back and forth and keep track of who’s being a jerk, how much of a jerk they’re being, what do we think as an admin team group needs to be done about (fill_in_blank), or figure out if it is a decision on (fill_in_blank), they should make themselves.   That is ridiculous.

So the moderation queue becomes an unavoidable necessity.  However, mistakes can occur whenever you are dealing with personality interaction.  We are not infallible.
The following identified names are currently on the moderation list due to a prior historical issue of sorts and are currently unable to comment without pre-approval:

In some cases ip addresses need to be used as identifying characteristics due to commentators switching with multiple usernames to avoid the moderation filter.

If you feel your name, or ip is on this list erroneously please send an e-mail to the TreeHouse admin team via  [email protected]   prior to 7/10/12.  Please put your username in the subject line of the e-mail and explain why, with great specificity, you are on this list and feel you should not be.
An email to the TreeHouse does not guarantee a response, so don’t expect one.   Nor does an appeal imply anticipated reinstatement.    However, we will evaluate any and all requests for reinstatement if received by 7/10/12.
Thank you.
