If that were the case, the whole lot of us should be banned. Including you.

I never break the rules.

Please refer me to a thread where a mod asked me to follow a rule and I told them to **** off.

*crickets*

That's what I thought. Read this thread and at least learn the context of what you're upset about before coming in with these half assed arguments.

I'll just reference the journal where you basically ran a member off the site for pushing him to the limit in his own journal where he's allowed to have his own thoughts.

Or have you forgotten about that?

Just shut the **** up Ki.

How about you learn how to be a mod before you go on another powertrip. Wanna ban me too? Do it. I dont give a ****.

I'd say don't be an idiot but it seems to be your schtick these days.

Lol and that #downwithfrown thing happened and the thread reached over 100 pages

#memories

I'm not. I'm simply giving you the "ok" to go on another powertrip and run another member off the site.

That is what you want, isn't it?

To be fair though I think he was justified here. Chula was being unreasonable, but idk if it warranted a ban or not.

Change your name to "shut the **** up Ki". It's good advice.

A simple PM would have sufficed just fine. Which is my entire point. Instead, he decided to use his mod tools to go the extra mile. Which was entirely unnecessary.

I gave him a warning. To quote one of our members, Chula Vista, "don't poke the bear."

It's fine to not accept the fact that you're not a good mod. But don't sugarcoat it by ignoring what people are throwing at you. Poor play on your part, friend.

So, you decided to instead give into what the members say, and not do what a mod should do, by PM'ing the member and cooling the situation down in the background.

Give up this fight. Chula was in the wrong and he wanted to act out and push the boundaries when faced with authority and asked nicely not to do something.

Sorry, but I just don't see where he was wrong. He posted a picture of his family. In a picture thread. In the lounge. Where most spam goes.

Back a few years ago, nothing in the lounge ever led to a ban. Usually it was deleted and the member was informed.

If that has changed, I'd love to know.

What's done is done. Hindsight advice is also not considered to be very helpful, either.

I still think Frown should be de-modded (or whatever the word is for that).

Fair enough. But I don't really see why lounge posts should be a reason for a ban. It's the lounge. There's a reason it's near the bottom of the forum home page.

I modded a forum for several years. I know what the job entails. I'm just trying to offer some insight.

Though to my own credit, I did go on powertrips too. But I learned to walk past it in the end.

Plot twist: Chula is JWB and Frownland is Plankton.

Yea, it was basically the same sh*t. MB is cursed by the defiant spirit of JWB.

Rules apply to all parts of a forum.

This wasn't personal. If another member told me to **** off when I asked them to follow a rule (posting pictures of members, not just any photo that members might have), were warned about needlessly insulting people and reminded to follow the rules, then came back and said (basically) "no, **** off" and added a "ban me then," they would get the exact same treatment.

Now quit. ****ing. Whining. About. Every. Goddamned. Thing. Remember when people thought you contributed positively to the forum?

Nah, the rules only apply when you feel they apply. It's never been that way in the lounge, as far as I can remember. It's meant to be lenient here, unless there is really offensive warranting a ban. Which again, prompts me to say that you could have simply PM'd Chula, instead of making it public.

There have been several instances that were ban worthy at this foruma nd you sat back and joined in instead of being a mod. Don't suddenly come to save the day as if you're a man in shining armor.

I'm probably a lot more strict than you realize. I usually don't even ask.

As far as your advice goes, could I borrow your time machine?

i wonder what the reformed chula will be like

As an objective on looker i think if any other mod ban him it wouldnt have caused such drama. You two have a history of ****ting on each other and i think ur smart enough to understand how some people could view this as abuse of authority even if it was not ur intent.

I recognize that, it's why I tried to address it earlier by posting basically what I just told Ki.

Maybe Ki's dumb argument will help Chula be on my side for once!

I don't like to consider you strict because I consider you a friend, not to mention the amount of times you've been lenient with me. But at the same time, I'm still gonna call you out on your inconsistencies. But, as you said I guess it's only 24 hours. Just be ready for a ****storm when he comes back.

There will be no ****storm. PM's, amirite?

And like I said man, it's not really an inconsistency. It just usually doesn't involve an argument.

Well...yes. That's been my point.

EDIT: Just saw your edit. Fair enough then. With what DWV said, I can see how this can be misconstrued.

Absolutely no different.

request your username be changed to all caps when you return so frown knows not to mess with you anymore, chula

What he should do is create a scrapbook journal but without scrapbook in the title so that Frown doesn't win.

I want Chula to make it and dedicate it to me in the OP so that I win in every single way.

change your username to scrapbook and claim an attack on your forum character when frownland tries to do this again

Well good thing that doesn't matter since you are not a mod and moderating isnt a democratic process.
