You mean without getting called a condescending ass?

I know the injustices of forum politics can wear down even the most stoic of posters, but seriously, suck it up. Get out more. Read a book. Go and live a little instead of bleating about a member's supposed flouting of the guidelines on a fucking music forum.

Agree with that, apart from the reading part.

I think Urban is a gentleman and a scholar and I would never say anything negative against him.

It's not a word that should just be used lightly, it does hurt. Internet or not, I don't think it's an acceptable form of speech.

first of all,

SECONDLY, as someone who doesn't "suck Urban's dick" as you have previously so eloquently said, I've never had an issue with him where I felt I had to complain to other mods about it, and he's said somethings that are assy, but you don't see me whining about it. We may not be friendly but to his credit, what he says is almost always on point. Like he said, he was saying stuff the shoutbox was saying, or at least thinking.

Lastly, you're a fucking hypocrite. As soon as I criticise you for the loathsome lovey dovey ****, you and your creepy ass girlfriend get all antagonistic to me. Funny, you can whine about someone else, but when someone else doesn't like the shit you post, they should just deal with it. No one else is allowed to speak their minds, only you? You are not immune to criticism. And as for "me being jealous"? Gurl I lost my virginity 7 years ago, I got over it and didn't have to parade it all around the internet for everyone to see. Sit the fuck down.

Everyone should quit whining like a little bitch.

And now you're butthurt and parading your dick sucking abilities.

Good job

The point some people seem to be missing is that we don't use black and white moderation.
If we stuck strictly to the rules, a lot of this community would have been banned long ago, and this place would be the North Korea of the internet.
Most of the people here are adults and have been here long enough to know where the line is. We trust most of you guys to be able to police yourselves and not need a moderator to tell you when enough is enough. On the rare occasion we do, that's when we step in.

So yea, we let a lot of stuff slide. And we also hold ourselves to the same standards we hold the community to, so we don't expect to be called out when we enjoy the same leniency we afford our members.
We do have the responsibility of setting an example for the rest of the forum, and we have not failed in that regard. If we expected the community to rigidly follow the written rules at all times or expect punishment otherwise, then we would do so as well. But since that's not realistic and would be the wrong way to run this place, we address PROBLEMS. And, to my knowledge, the last moderator to ever present a problem got kicked out of the team and banned.

I don't think we'd have to put Urban's worth and actions on trial here to know what the overwhelming consensus would be, and it has nothing to do with sucking up.

Uhm... Going to go ahead and deviate away from the current subject and say something NICE about a few people.

anticipation: can be kind of an asshole at times, but I respect the hell out of his opinions anyways. He certainly has a very interesting outlook on things and can be a great guy to talk to.

Sneer/Stu: I really wish he would post more... He's one of my favorite people here.

Anteater: another person who I wish would post more. He's extremely knowledgeable about music and enjoys a lot of the same musicians that I do.
