    It's about the VIP system and all that comes with it.

    Thanks.
    You opened the door, counselor, that makes it discussable. Furthermore, it addresses the subjectivity of the discussion as a whole, because if there are members here that think the VIPs are comprised of "liberal cliques", then the opportunity to expand the reasons why that mindset is present in the first place.

    That post was an extension of a discussion of the forum rules concerning racist speech, rules that VIPS help to craft.

    Your response was just race-obsessed drivel.

    Please get back to the topic.

    ^ Sorry, Adelaide.

    I have no opinion on VIP. I used to be one. I prefer just to visit the forum and let the mods make the decisions...as long as they are fair. VIPs don't seem to affect me one way or another.

    Here is what I can say: I like the way the forum is moderated now. When I was here before there was waaaaaay too much trolling and hatefulness. If the VIPs facilitated that change, then I support them.

    His was in the context of what is allowed on the forum, and therefore the rules that VIP's make. Yours drags it off topic. Please refrain from doing that so we don't have to resort to TB's. I hate having to use the full site on my phone so I can moderate.

    Based on my experience as a VIP, I can say the VIP system actually contributes to trolling, if anything.

    The VIPs were instrumental in that policy change, but it took place in 2016. A lot of members in this thread are discussing what the VIPs actually do because there have not been many VIP-group decisions since that one.

    Nope, it's all relative. It shows a pattern, and with patterns one can determine mindset. The same with saying the VIPs are not needed because they are comprised of "liberals". When people really read into the posts, they will see a noticeable pattern and should take that into consideration as to who is calling for it to be disbanded and the real reason why.

    I was discussing the forum RULES pertaining to racist speech, which necessarily concerns the VIP system, which is the topic of the thread.

    Your comment was just a vague complaint about some unnamed posters who don't like being called racist, or something.

    Stop dragging the thread off topic with your race obsession and your hypocrisy policing. Nobody is interested in it.

    Last request, please stick to the topic, which is not the mindsets of those responding to the thread. Thank you.
