How Should MB Be Moderated?

Carpe Mortem · 06-15-2015, 04:40 PM

I think there should be a donation system, and only people who can afford to donate are exempt from rules.

I didn't miss that. I just didn't care.

At least you're honest..

Friends here, send me a PM and perhaps we can hook up on facebook or something.

^ I can understand your frustration over how the debate on your rule proposal has gone, but I for one would be sorry to see you abandon MB again. I think MB is always going to be a mixture of the good, the bad and the ugly - but that doesn't mean that the good should feel the need to leave.

And now I've slagged her off again. But you can't say she didn't deserve it.

^ You were decent enough to apologise, Trollheart, so my guess is that VEGANGELICA just chose to move on and not attract more attention to your comment. Also, to be accurate, she did quote Batlord, who "lolled" at one of her suggestions - perhaps because it focused on the content of her post, rather than her style of posting.

"Totally ignored" - isn't that Sunflower' s regular complaint too ?

Yeah, over here we say "I can talk" or "I should talk" or maybe even "Listen to me ..."

I'm not gonna kick him when he's down, but to fair, a lot of this resistance to his ideas is in the way he approached it and tried to force it on us. Okay, I'm done.

I would always apologise if I feel I may have spoken out of turn and/or hurt someone's feelings. As for the bolded part, yes, yes it is. Though it's Soulflower, not one of these

Yeah, I've been kind of worried/confused about that too. I hope she doesn't mean me.

Thanks!
Yeah, perhaps it'll be best for everyone if that never gets clarified. Let's talk about the weather in Ireland instead ....is it a case of "Raindrops keep falling on my head"?

I personally felt offended by music banters moderation. I posted a while ago asking for help identifying a tune and was subsequently banned for spam. Moderation on here must be really c**p

If you're banned, how is it that you're posting?
