Spill Your Guts: What You Really Think About MB members

Surely self-righteous crowd mediation belongs in this thread, or else I will have nothing left to post in it?

Would those people who fall under no 3 please fuck off to another thread. what were you expecting given the nature of this thread ?

Thanks.

Couldn't it just be as easy as not approving the posts that fall into those categories?

I was talking from a personal perspective, not a moderating one.
So no.

Plus I'd say that's why it's cool.

That and the same thing does happen every time anyone actually gives an honest opinion in this thread that isn't super nice.

I'm not saying that outright, unnecessary insults would be acceptable in this thread but given the nature of the thread, people should probably be expecting others to be spilling their guts.

Not approving a post in this thread is the lowest form of scum-baggery a Mod can commit. On what grounds would you suggest they do something like that?

Also, what other forms of censorship do you condone?

It was just a lighthearted suggestion based on what was posted.

I would refuse to approve something in here if I felt it were relevant and justified but it doesn't happen often at all.

I'd draw the line where the sharing of an opinion becomes an insult but thats probably about it, I would imagine. And where the line is is a matter of opinion, I guess.

I'm still fine with everyone. I do have to be honest though. A lot of members kind of blend together. The people that don't are ones that post a lot, or were really active when I first joined. Janszoon, Duga, WWWP, Jackhammer, Burning Down, Gunnels, sidewinder, bob., Freebase, wickedlk, SATCHMO, Urban, Pedestrian, Kayleigh (I don't even know what her user name is anymore), Paloma (I think it's hermione now but I'm not gonna look), Engine, LoathsomePete, vegangelica, mojopinuk, tore, thebig3, etc. I was only gonna name like four, but I didn't want to hurt feelings and leave people that I'm very familiar with out of the loop.
