 Hi there and thanks for reading my very first entry in my blog. Now as I am a woman this first entry will pretty much be me ranting about the TV.com's moderators and the fact that they are hypocrits. 

OK, so as I became a new member to TV.com I thought it was neat you get to edit things make things better maybe fix some errors along the way and so I tried.  Now first let me mention I so could care less about th level thing I still don't quite understand it but that's neither here nor there.  I started reading stuff like episode guides, recaps and so on and realized 'WOW there are a  lot of people that just have no clue how to put words together to form basic sentences.'  I mean helloooo people this is communication and if you can't write it then by the Goddess how do you speak???  (I shudder to think and in real life probably avoid and dismiss people like that by not paying one wit of attention when they open their mouth) So I decided to make things flow better or correct typos that the moderators always seem to miss unless it is something I have sent in(LOL) and on most of my submissions I got them denied because they were cut and pastes.  OK, so you are not suppose to do that but how would I know when half of TV.com is already cut and pasted from the same sites I was cutting and pasting from like IMDB.com.  Again that is a site where people can edit and add and so on so yes a few of my entries were my own work that I put on that site but then how come all these other cut and pastes are allowed hmmmm??? I am not one to scream conspiracy, mind you but I am one to scream in general heh.  I believe that TV.com needs a better moderator system more unified in it's policies if one person can't cut and paste then NO ONE should be able too.  Am I wrong in this thinking?  I am sure I am not the only one on here that has experienced this .  Now because I am a woman as I mentioned I have sent in one or two submissions with only comments listed as it is a cut and paste job and what site I found the exact recap.  (if you are interested the Biker Mice From Mars episode recaps) It will be interesting to see what the moderators will do with this info.  By rights they should omit the TV.com 'considered' offensive material and I firmly believe they should take back any and all points that person gained for their entry.  I also think since the moderators did such a poor job the person who accepted the submission should hang up their moderator cap and become one of the masses.  I will keep all my faithful readers (all one of you LMAO) posted as what happens on this interesting development  until then ......

So I got word back on one of my edit submissions and it was, can anyone guess?  Yep, DENIED LOL.  So I decided to do some checking and found the moderator that denied me was an editor of the program. 
Well I just had to open up communication with this person and after several PMs it pretty much boiled down to this person denying me not because she is an editor of that show (she don't play that game) but because it was fine as is, now the summary I wanted to fix was for Flipper (not the original but the 90s version) and well it's terrible.  I thought my eyes were going to ooze out of their sockets.  I was embarressed for the writer as well as the moderator.  Let's take pride in what we do people.  But I digress, so this moderator really took offense to my blah blahing her explanations claiming she is out sick from a stroke, ummmm I didn't know people could call out sick for that wonder if it will work at my unit (I will let you all know ) She also said she got where she is now for a reason and again I say blah blah.  Now I am sure she is a nice person and all but her gramatics is exactly why I have issues with the moderators.  Her last email to me was barely understandable I replied back and then just blocked the user.  It is a sad day really when you are trying to better something and someone comes back at you all because you have a better grasp of the English language.  Don't hate me because I know how to speak and write in my own language hehe.  It does, however,  say a lot about our fine country though, we can not really blame other countries for mocking us when we can't even communicate in our own language correctly.  I am a proud American and that is the truth to why I take offense to errors of the English language.
