I now can recall why I stopped visiting the forums as often as I use to, or at least for a while, at all.

Gone are the frivolous days of word association, the heinous “the person below me”, or the intolerable whatever’s next I suppose. I suppose these thread take up to much server space. I suppose they are not as inflammatory as the almighty “evo” Thread…., oh wait I’d better spell it evolution before I’m corrected, or “what do you believe” thread. Sorry I just don’t see how one can be put above the others, except in the elitist world of the moderator. I can understand needing moderation because of the ages represented here. I understand the need for a safe forum environment, and wholesome postings. I don’t understand locking a topic because it gets on you’re nerve, and the good old “because I can” mentality. It is this very thing that has turned away many members, and most of us know who they are. People come here for conversation, recreation and relaxation. But if soooo many of the reasons you visit these forums are stripped away, why come at all.

But hey, this happens on every forum and it dies out..

But it's no biggie if it's in just one forum area, cause theres always the others to post in
smile.gif
 
yea it seems you can't disagree or its locked and you're warned. I got warned for saying "Tee Hee" can you beleive that?

Thats why I almost never post here, that doesn't mean I don't read it though. I just post in the business areas where they talk about what this site is meant for. Seems everyone here is way to sensitive when it comes to non cp related discussions.

Yea, I notice favoritism a lot as well! I think some people take moderating a lil too seriously

I mean if someone said "I hate *enter member name here*" then theyd be warned or banned.. but in other forums it would go unnoticed

Times are a changing

WAAAAAY TO sensitive. It shouldn't be called general disscusions. It should be renamed Highly moderated vague plant referance area.
 
Or the minefield.. Because that's exactly what it is... tread lightly
confused.gif


But hey, its a privately owned forum.. They can do what they wish. But that doesn't mean members are going to flock here.
 
who wants to take bets on when this thread will be locked and we'll be all warned?

I miss the days that jaie was here...

And they call us names too, but when WE call names, its into the patty wagon for us
confused.gif


However, a few mods still exist that are pretty good
biggrin.gif
 
I'll see you 're ten and raise you ten and pray I get this posted BEFORE I'm either banned for free speach, tisking a mod, or it's locked. Although I've always wanted a square.

Since you bring it up... And I'm the one that warned you... let me give my side of this story.
smile.gif
You posted a list of member names in the subject and title line of a post. Then in the post you gave a link to a inappropriate web page. (cussing and such) That is why you were warned. Not for saying "tee hee" I still have the PM I sent you regarding this if you would like to reread it. But it never even mentions "teehee".

Also, game threads (like the one recently locked) I don't see how they are considered "discussions"... Any who, Tony will be back later to talk about that.

I guess you all think I'm bias since I'm one of these "mods" being discussed... But I've never seen that. If you do see it... Send me a PM.

No, he brought up a 2 year old topic by dustin, and said "Tee-Hee".. I saw it the second he posted it... The whole topic was deleted. Innapropiate if you ask me, there was no reason to delete it.. or even lock it, for that matter.

innapropiate web page with cussing.. and why wasn't the thread on "souls" locked, with the link where the devil swears very badly?

Seems they give out false testimonies now as well?

As I was saying, favoritism..

And if I report a post, I get called a whiner. (Has happened on several occasions)

Well, his "warning" which you see by his name is from me, not for that. I have never seen the thread which you refer to. I don't have time to look at everything.

if you saw it. And noticed something... Perhaps you should have let a mod know?.....

I haved been warned for my text color, and posting "too many times".

I wonder how long it'l be before the mods scramble back to old threads where they did ridiculous things, and delete them.. I've seen it happen before??? And mods aren't supposed to delete anyways. They're supposed to move it to a special forum called the deleted forum, for bringing back up when there are conflicts like this. But you don't see them doing that very often.

And any post where I mention "Spec", it's deleted.
