Dont be so sure about that.

Here you are people, this is what Vegangelica considers abuse. So next time you make a post make sure it's not as bad as this or we'll ban your asses.
I thought it was pretty hysterical and creative. If directed at me I would have laughed and moved on certainly. Of course I have no feelings.

You're taking this thread far too seriously. It's in the "Games, Lists, Jokes and Polls" sub forum for goodness sake. You need to be able to laugh at yourself from time to time.

Just because I speak seriously doesnt mean I take anything seriously.

Whiskey, I feel your polls are fine as they are. You should be free to create polls that interest you without moderators jumping in and making fun of them.

I'm sorry that moderators aren't consistently polite here. I feel sad whenever I see them mock someone's contributions like I see them doing to you.

I think quite a few moderators and members want to make the climate here be one where those in power feel free to mock and belittle others. I want MusicBanter to create a climate where members are welcomed to share their opinions and interests, while putting other members down and being rude to them is discouraged.

Some people seeing this thread will probably say that when you feel you are being mocked or teased, pointing that out to defend yourself is "over-reacting" or being "too sensitive." I disagree. Defending yourself is being assertive and is standing up to people who are choosing to be verbally/emotionally abusive.

* * *





Whiskey, I get the same impression as you, and the reason (to state the obvious) is that a moderator, Vanilla, said your polls are generic and dull and created a thread and poll to mock them:



Then our moderators Urban Hatemonger and Freebase joined in the "joke"-making at your expense:





Finally, moderator Burning Down denied that anybody has a problem with your polls, even though that ignores the reality of what people have said in this thread. That makes it harder for you to trust your own emotional reaction to the thread, when your reaction is in fact justified.

* * *


Play doesn't involve many members belittling someone and putting her down. That's called bullying, and I see moderators doing it a lot on this forum. People get their thrills by being mean. I don't, and I wish mods would squelch bullying rather than be main perpetrators of it here at MusicBanter.

Mods, I wish you'd stop creating and contributing to threads that mock members' contributions. If someone isn't being playful with you, then your "play" with them isn't play, especially since you are in a position of power here.

This thread isn't reciprocal playful interaction. This means moderators are simply using your Internet time to make people who have done nothing wrong (other than join MusicBanter) feel uncomfortable by putting them and their contributions down.

Whiskey, I agree with zevokes: it is good not to take it personally when people go out of their way to mock someone. The reason is that whenever people make fun of you, it is due to their *own* issues and problems, and not yours.
And here we go, back on your high horse again.

This thread is a joke, it is not malicious.

Ok....after reading the last few posts and judging from the other threads started and the comments in them. I have come to the conclusion that "Whiskey" is none other than "Dirty". He's probaly getting the laugh of his life right now and if it is you "Dirty" congrats on on a job well done on trollin the forum. It think it was the "gift from heaven" comment that put it over the top.

do you think anyone else is a gift from heaven to this forum, whiskey? and, no offense, but, really, if you don't answer that with some rather altruistic sort of "of course zevokes! i think everyone here is a gift from heaven!" i'm going to post after you answer by asking if you have any idea how retarded that sounds... cuz some people need that kinda sh*t sometimes.

I dont know about everyone else. Ask me about somebody in particular, that way it will be much easier for me to answer.

You're generalizing. I think I only made that one post in this thread and I don't see how it made fun of or bullied Whiskey in any way. Actually, I don't recall a time when I have ever deliberately made fun of another member during my time on this forum. I'm a nice person, but if you find posts from me that are rude or inappropriate, I invite you to link me to them through a PM.

I've barely been involved in this thread and haven't had much interaction with Whiskey in other sections of the forum, but you still feel the need to call out every moderator because they might have behaved badly. I hate to say that you're making a mountain out of a molehill here. Your post basically screams "backseat moderating".

P A N 02-06-2013 11:22 PM
two things:

1: is there an accessible list of the moderators? i have a vague idea who some might be, but i'm not certain.

2: I can see where everyone is coming from here, and it's a shame when things like this happen. i get that people rag on each other for kicks... i did a buncha years of concrete and at first i thought they didn't like me cuz they were doing that, but really they just wanted me to respond wittily and somewhat abrasively to pass time and see that i would stick up for myself. it's a weird thing, but it's actually productive. but i also see where vegangelica is coming from. it's hard to watch someone get offended by way of not really being privy to the workings of a community. but that's exactly why this happened... because it's a community. mods are mods cuz they've been here awhile, and they're probably the most comfortable... so they are probably more prone to dicking around and testing boundaries, perhaps unwittingly sometimes, and perhaps sometimes crossing a line.

in this case, i'd chalk it up to sh*ts and giggles, of which i'm sure whiskey is more than welcome to join in on.

HOWEVER, i do think that the thread started about vegangelica'a lectures was in bad taste. i do realize she can be pretty intense, but i don't think she's someone this forum should so vehemently try to exile... or even someone i think should not be here at all. her contributions are as genuine as they come. i saw a comment about the length of her posts, and i remembered the great breakdown she gave to a guy who was looking for opinions about a tune he was making. it was huge! that's awesome to me. she's supportive and wants to help in what ways she can. sure. maybe she over-reacts a bit sometimes, but whether we all are guilty of that or not, we're all guilty of something.

she's just passionate, as far as i can tell. i say leave'er be and that out of respect for an openness i think people desire the thread she's being ridiculed in be deleted. she's just another human guys, and that thread is genuinely hurtful.

Guys, just want to tell you that this post is the only post I find offensive towards me in this thread. All others are just amusing.

Seriously, what does my mother has to do with this?

That's good, I'm glad you took in the way it was intended, so Vege's rant was just an attempt to rain on our parade.

Just because you find it offensive doesn't make it abusive.
And are you really telling me that an offhand comment that's clearly not meant to be taken seriously is the only thing someone has said bad about you?

Hell it was more aimed at Yac than you.

Clearly? Where is that stated so clearly at all? I didnt know it was not meant to be taken seriously until you told me right now.

Yes you're right, I was totally serious when I implied that you want a family full of Polish people.

:rolleyes:

Well, a sack race would've been a better choice I guess.
