I think that there is a lot of misconception about some of the bannings that occurred a few weeks ago, and I think it's foolish to pass judgments on a situation you only have half the information on.

I stated that in my post and I said it's also out of the norm for me to do that.

Not sure why you felt the need to say it again.

Maybe you didn't read my post.

And good grief, how on earth have you been attacked in this conversation? Literally every single response to your initial upset has been calm and reasonable. I'd hate to see you if any of us had actually responded enraged.

HEY MODS

If I ever step out of line and I deserve an infraction or banning you're welcome to throw in a "snarky" comment. I really don't care, you guys deserve to have fun.

EDIT: Oh wow, it looks like I'm brown nosing. Shit, I just miss when we had mods like Ethan, Right-Track, Jackhammer, and Urban. They were hilarious.

I don't think you have read every single response or maybe you are only talking about mod responses.

click back a few pages and read it again.

Bookmarked. :p:

Ah, Paloma yelled at you, and Loose Lips disagreed.

You're welcome to voice your concerns about the moderation, it just carries more weight when they're based on accurate information. If there are a number of users who find the staff abusive, they're welcome to calmly explain themselves to a moderator of their choice, and the matter will be evaluated. It's simply not constructive however, for us to have a debate in the open where everyone is vaguely discussing incidents without having all the information about them.

I'd hate for people to feel like they're not being taken seriously when they speak up, but frankly, most of the time when people do, they have little scope of what they're talking about, and what are we supposed to do with invalid complaints but disregard them? All of this hearsay causes the divide between staff and users, not the staff themselves.

Instead of completely disregarding them why not let them in on some of the information. the divide exists because all we CAN use is hearsay because the staff as all the information like they are the gate keepers of the knowledge and of course you guys have all the facts and evidence.


It's almost like "yeah well if you want to make claims prove it" while you sit in the back making jokes and laughing it up because you already have said evidence and know all the facts.

some of mine were, as well, at least state the reason why

i think i'm foregoing marriage and spend the rest of my life on hookers

i support the ban on The Virgin, in fact I think a week is too short, he should be perma-banned

snarky? I can't imagine you being snarky

Really they do that? That seems awful nice of them I guess they do it to ease tension, but then again it seems quite unfair to the rest of us, where are our massages? :rolleyes:

I heard Listerine kills lice.
