Rage Against the MODchine

I think it's worth pointing out that I only changed it because I was asked to and assumed it was some kind of long-running inside joke. Also, I haven't commented on the OP yet - very nice job with that big3. Very well written and I hope it gives a little perspective.

Relax Conan. He'll calm down.
I still haven't forgiven him over that time he had a Liverpool FC avatar.
If he gives you any trouble I'll have him shot.

At least some things are still the same

It's about time I was given a go.

From my understanding 99% of the members are fine with the mods, correct me if I'm wrong.

You're wrong about The Clash,

well he told us to correct him when he's wrong

That's funny. I have no friends, and wasn't even posting on MB at the time I was asked to join the staff, soooooooo...

That makes even less sense. Why mod someone who isn't even posting?

Soooooooo... Nothing.

Because it was known that I was on a one-month sabbatical and would return.

Not that anyone is actively discussing it but all i was saying with my video comments and a few normal comments over time is how stupid i think it is that the banning isn't more in the open. I don't see why non-mods shouldn't see actually why someone was banned. The details are so vague, I'd like to know what post they actually made or a jist of what they said. 'Inappropriate comments' could include so many things, it'd take any questioning out of the equation to be a little more specific and say somethng like 'Dirty insulted conan for having a small cock' or whatever the case was. Again, I know it sounds like I'm making it a big deal but im not trying to, just speaking my thoughts.

also on the original post, i doubt anyone will really listen to the first part about how to effectively approach a mod or whatever, but nonetheless is was a good post and i liked the insight to the mod cave. I don't think you really have to play the game or whatever to become a mod, but it'd be easy to do for anyone, but im not sure why anyone would want to do that in the first place.
