You should go read the Rush Limbaugh thread, you'll see what I mean. Rules are made to be broken.

It's ANARCHY!!!!!

:)

[Akula]

Why do you think I haven't been banned? Do you read none of my posts? Of course I have! Ask Ransom. :D

Not sure I understand the point?

[Green Arrow]

Want me to get the PM where you admitted it and post it here?..or are you going to continue to act innocent?

I didn't admit to breaking a rule. I admitted that I unknowingly broke a moderator guideline. You pointed it out, I asked the others, and then apologized when I was informed of my error.

[Captain Obvious]

It's ANARCHY!!!!!

:)

Or "volunteerism" if you sell it right.

[Peter1469]

When I was first made a Mod I TBed someone who used some pretty bad language against another member. Later I learned it was an inside joke between them so I removed the TB. And many times, if the person who "should" have been offended doesn't report it, we don't do anything, unless the offender is stuck in a pattern of that sort of behavior.




@Peter1469 (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=10)

if I may be so bold, but the subject was raised and having someone, even a dear someone, tell me that adults should understand what vulgarity is does not inspire confidence that the term will be applied evenly. I would rather eschew the rule of vulgarity entirely than to make it a judgment call based on the whims of staff, albeit dear and respectable staff.

One man's term of disgust is another man's term of endearment. To reference Kierkegaard in his fine work, Concluding Unscientific Postscripts, a word is defined by the context and the speaker both in accord. If Paperback Writer were to call me a shrew it would have an entirely different meaning than if libhater were to do so, though truthfully I'd be hurt by neither.

To understand that fully enough to moderate one would have to be personally acquainted, or the recipient of a "Report Post".

But you are a prosecutor so perhaps you choose to wiggle around the legal language in order to vex the wicked, wicked posters such as myself who haunt these hallowed forums.

[Alyosha]

Correct. Only the mod was the high jacker along with yourself. So yes when a mod is engaged in the high jacking it is too much to ask. Akula needs to roll with it because it's a fact of life. Life isn't fair. Some get away with rule breaking and some don't. That's life. Even o n a message board. Now smile behind your teeth why don't you?

Every mod on here, every poster on here has broken the spirit of the rules at some point. While I am now being a bit of a nudge I will say in their defense that they take a great deal of shit off posters ( Peter1469 do tell me if that is vulgar ) and only occasionally respond. It is difficult to be good all day, at least for me it is.

I could be a flawed person, however. In fact, I most-likely am.

In short, I think all of the mods but Peter1469 should be given a break. Peter should have to argue with me some more, mostly because I'm bored.

[Chris]

This is why and how you cannot reason with children.

It's pretty simple, nobody wants to micromanage (or should) and nobody wants to be micromanaged (or should, except NYS liberals).

Don't let common sense and rationality get in the way. Threads evolve/devolve and if it's your thread and you want it un-hijacked, is simply PMing a mod asking him/her to step in and get the thread back on topic too much trouble?

But that's not the issue, whiners will ultimately find some way to whine and/or make it seem like some kind of Mod team conspiracy.



All except for the small problem of assuming what you think is common sense and rational. If it were truly commonsensical and rational it would be easy to explain and reach consensus on. It's not always so though, which is why mods discuss and eventually take a vote to reach consensus. Same with VIPs deciding rules.

[Matty]

"...in such a way that is not the natural evolution of the thread." I'd argue that it was the natural evolution, and I still maintained topical discussion in addition to that.


Of course you would. Yep, snuff chewing tobacco, plugs and snuff are all natural evolutions of a Rush Limbaugh children's book thread. See what I mean Akula? Stop chasing farts.

[Green Arrow]

With that said, I'll get back to being Akula and Matalese's punching bag tomorrow. I have to get to work and will be blissfully free of the internet for the next 20 hours. Have fun, peeps. Further questions can be PM'd to me.

[Alyosha]

Not sure I understand the point?

You said I've never been banned. I've been banned for being mean to Ransom. Essentially, I am awakening you to the truth that you're not the only poster in the world to "get into trouble".

^^This

If a member is truly offended or insulted the report option is there, otherwise it's difficult determining what is really a mudslinging fest or what is just random chippiness.

[Akula]

"...in such a way that is not the natural evolution of the thread." I'd argue that it was the natural evolution, and I still maintained topical discussion in addition to that.

I'm sure you would argue that...if it were you..you could also interpret that the other way..depending on who was involved.
......"Natural evolution" is broad and vague enough to be interpreted however you want...nice trick, that.

[Captain Obvious]

Which brings me to my point about martyrs of the early church...

If you haven't been banned at least once you're probably Chloe.

I felt that it was perfectly acceptable to attack Ransom that day because he had been giving Chloe a hard time and knew that I would or could be banned for it (if caught). I was a tempest that day with my cohort jillian and we were both banned for being awful, wicked women.

I accepted the banning with a "fair play" response because I understood that it was true. Playing with mice is a cruel, although fun, past time.

Question: All day long I've seen the word "banned" thrown around but all that was meant was thread banned? That's pretty minor to make such a big deal out of. A slap on the wrist.

[Alyosha]

I I know they do, I've seen that side of it too.

A fair response!

[Peter1469]

Question: All day long I've seen the word "banned" thrown around but all that was meant was thread banned? That's pretty minor to make such a big deal out of. A slap on the wrist.

Right I was going to say that. A thread ban is one up from a warning. It is nothing.

[Alyosha]

It's not always so though, which is why mods discuss and eventually take a vote to reach consensus. Same with VIPs deciding rules.

Ahh, but common sense is explainable. Common sense is an action which is natural and not abnormal. Common sense is to not play with fire.

That is entirely different than the linguistic spectrum.

[Akula]

You said I've never been banned.

I did?
I don't remember saying that.


I've been banned for being mean to Ransom. Essentially, I am awakening you to the truth that you're not the only poster in the world to "get into trouble".

Ok..I see..you admit you deserved the ban. What peter did the other day was different. I did NOT violate any rules...peter told me to take down my sig and I told him to take a hike because it was NOT in violation of rule #11 because I changed the name....of course mr self important didn't like being told to hit the road so he banned me and removed my sig from every post I ever made.

Well, long story short, I was reinstated early and my sig was restored and no one has said sheeit about it.In fact I took it down because codename politely apologized to me.That's all it took...

The there's green arrow revealing when someone he doesn't like reports a post so he can harass them.

No..maybe you deserved to get banned or whatever but I didn't..and they all know it..too..That's why I'm LMFAO

[Alyosha]

Right I was going to say that. A thread ban is one up from a warning. It is nothing.

I was crushed. I think I cried for hours.

[Peter1469]

Your version of the facts are amusing. And a reminder, don't discuss mod actions in the open. That is a violation of Rule 8.


I did?
I don't remember saying that.

A judge in a court of law would have told you to shut up and quit with trying to be smart in his court room. Changing names is also "illegal" in the rules here. The words were owned by someone, therefore you were quoting. Your changing the name was just a 5th grade response.

I would have banhammered you, too.

If you wanted to get away with it you should have written it in Latin and attributed it to him. Then it was not his exact words and you would have met the letter and spirit of the rule.

That gives me a great idea....

[Akula]

Question: All day long I've seen the word "banned" thrown around but all that was meant was thread banned? That's pretty minor to make such a big deal out of. A slap on the wrist.

No, ace...peter threatened to ban me if I didn't remove my sig which was what codename section said to me.


If I weren't a mod I would tell you to eat some runny bird shit then shove a big cock up your own ass, but since I'm a mod I'll say that you're entitled to your opinion and let's talk about hunting dogs some more.

So..they think they're clever..I put it in my sig and changed the name. Peter threatened to ban me I told him to piss off it was NOT a violation of rule #11 because I changed the name.

I was banned FROM THE SITE for (at least) 2 days.
I was reinstated and my sig restored because I did NOT violate any rules and in fact codename was the one out of line for even typing that BS and gloating about it.

gee..and they wonder why I'm disruptive sometimes..LMAO...
shoulda just left me alone and none of us would be talking about it today...but..nooooo..they're "moderators" and they must flex their power..LMAO....

[Matty]

Now I have a migraine.

[Chris]

Ahh, but common sense is explainable. Common sense is an action which is natural and not abnormal. Common sense is to not play with fire.

That is entirely different than the linguistic spectrum.

Right, it should be explainable, you don't play with fire because you get burned. You don't use excessive vulgarity--fusk shit, George Carlin names them all, or you get warned or thread banned.

Of course if someone refuses the explanation, fusses and fidgets for more, then you assume he's not interested in being commonsensical and rational.

On my old forum, the general rule was you could argue with mods/admins, privately, so long as you showed some interest in seeking resolution. Not doing so ended discussion.

[Alyosha]

shoulda just left me alone and none of us would be talking about it today...but..nooooo..they're "moderators" and they must flex their power..LMAO....

Haha, that's actually funny. I could be more colorful than Codename since you're so delighted by people telling you off. May I try to think up something far more vulgar and insulting than that? You have my complete permission to use it in your signature line for all time.

[Captain Obvious]

It's tedious, is it not? It's that "everyone look at me, look at this big wooden cross I have" over and over again until you don't care anymore.

[Captain Obvious]

There are some on the mod team who believe to this day that ADMIN and me are the same person.

Isn't that right?

lol! I just got repped by that person.

You know who you are...

;)

[Chris]

I was crushed. I think I cried for hours.

I remember the first time I was banned, from the entire forum, 24 hours, it was the worst thing in the world. You get worked up and defensive and angry.

That's why I said, other thread I think, it would be good if we had member reps who could represent us commonsensically and rationally.

[Chris]

No, ace...peter threatened to ban me if I didn't remove my sig which was what codename section said to me.....


I'm here talking generally, deuce.

It it doesn't sound like message boards are the place for you. If you cannot deal with moderators and their sometimes unfair or perceived unfair use of power you might want to take up apple bobbing or something.

Man you would think he had been crucified wouldn't you? Jeez!

[Akula]

Yes. That's what adults do.
Why should I take your word for what adults do?




A judge in a court of law would have told you to shut up and quit with trying to be smart in his court room.

Speculation. Law is law..if the defendant violates it, you violate it or the judge violates it..law is law..



Changing names is also "illegal" in the rules here. The words were owned by someone, therefore you were quoting.
No...I changed the body of it enough so it wasn't a direct quote, too....

It was legal my dear..or believe me I wouldn't be here today. They tried as hard as they could to invent SOME way to find me in violationof SOMETHING.....LMAO..I notice you sure get defensive when I'm talking about your boyfriend breaking rules..you come up with all kinds of equivocations and excuses.




Your changing the name was just a 5th grade response.
No..him SAYING that was a 5th grade response...you keep overlooking the fact that your boyfriend was wrong and should have kept his mouth shut.



I would have banhammered you, too.
and the result would have been the same.
I'd still be here. I didn't violate any rules..it IS funny you wouldn't "banhammer" your boyfriend for breaking the rules and flaunting it in the first place..but you'd ban me for calling him on it...love has blinded you to reality, my dear..


If you wanted to get away with it you should have written it in Latin and attributed it to him. Then it was not his exact words and you would have met the letter and spirit of the rule.

I didn't "get away" with anything. I was in compliance, my dear. Your boyfriend is the one who "got away" with saying it with no repercussions.
He should not have said it. period.

[Chris]

I'm here for ya, bro...

Earlier I mentioned asking alyosha would be a great choice. She'd be tough, wouldn't mince words, and would be fair. I recall recommending you to akula, lol.

Right, but look at akula, he's still all burned up about it. I don't think that's uncommon.

All that typing you just did was wasted energy. You're putting far more work into this angst than the rest of us are into reading it. Here's a universal truth that you should know and embrace and this stuff won't bother you so much after that:

There is this great scene in the Princess Bride where the Sicilian has been saying "inconceivable!" the entire movie and finally Montoya tells him, "I do not think that word means what you think it means".

I think your concept of ire and winding people up is another man's (captain obvious let's say) fun. :)

Anyway, what was this thread about? Oh yes. Polly's a mod now, I guess. Huzzah! Wait--FORWARD!

Hi, Polly (waves)

[zelmo1234]

See..you don't understand...quite a number of rules have been broken by moderators in just the past couple of days...I've had enough of their rule breaking and arrogance. That's exactly the point.

You really need to let it go? Or I will be forced to send you some Cheese to go with that Whine!

[Alyosha]

You really need to let it go? Or I will be forced to send you some Cheese to go with that Whine!

You could send me some wine for my cheese!

[Akula]

You really need to let it go? Or I will be forced to send you some Cheese to go with that Whine!

I'm ok. I'm laughing.

Mission accomplished. I did just what I wanted to do, it appears. :)

[zelmo1234]

Sure..except it hasn't been you that has been banned...and reinstated..and had my sig deleted and then restored and had infractions levied and reversed..had it announced in the open forum when I reported a post for insults....all illegally..or in "violation of the rules"..

I've played this bias game with these guys before. I know they don't like me because I frustrate them when they play their power games...and to be fair, it's not just the current group..there are some former mods involved in this misconduct. It happens in every forum when the mods get too arrogant..nothing new.

Like I say..if they didn't rattle the cage, they wouldn't keep getting bitten.

..and that is the entire gist of it.

POOR BABY! At the risk of being Ban grow a pair! for God sakes. You push the edge and that is OK, but don't fucking whine when you get your hands slapped!

Is there a liberal bias on this forum? If yu ask me I would say YES, there can be NO other reason that people like Exotix, and Cigar are still here.

But think about it, if you are a liberal what actual FACTS can you argue on? Each and everyday that goes by, the more liberal policies there are becoming a disaster

[Akula]

POOR BABY! At the risk of being Ban grow a pair! for God sakes. You push the edge and that is OK, but don't fucking whine when you get your hands slapped!

No one got their hand slapped..No one pushed anything....I got accused of something that was a lie and unfairly punished due to bias. I proved it was alie and bias was involved and I was reinstated.

I don't appreciate being lied about by corrupt people. You wouldn't either whether you admit it now or not.


Is there a liberal bias on this forum? If yu ask me I would say YES, there can be NO other reason that people like Exotix, and Cigar are still here. Whatever..this wasn't about politics.

He actually got an apology from me. Public and private. I guess he's still mad though. I can sure make people mad, Zel. :D

[Alyosha]

Maybe I lean towards being a baby, but it would hurt my feelings if I were banned. I try not to say hateful things to people.

Maybe I'm cold and heartless but I would rather say what I said to be banned and be banned than not banned and denied the pleasure. I'm like that, though. Don't be like me, Peri. It's a sad miserable life, I live.

Ok, I can't support that. I had fun. They banned me. It happens.

Edit: Bwahahahahahahahaha

[Peter1469]

Maybe I lean towards being a baby, but it would hurt my feelings if I were banned. I try not to say hateful things to people.

Banning means you are gone from the forum. A thread ban is limited to a single thread. And most threads don't last all that long anyway. It really isn't a big deal.

[Alyosha]

Peri, it feels like you were burnt by acid when it happens. I seriously cried. Peter's a bad, bad man!

Waaaah, oh the indignity!

[zelmo1234]

He actually got an apology from me. Public and private. I guess he's still mad though. I can sure make people mad, Zel. :D

Well I am fix'in to make them cry! I have only fired about a dozen people in my life and other than one thief, they were all whiners?

They are among the worst dregs of society in my book!

Peri, it feels like you were burnt by acid when it happens. I seriously cried. Peter's a bad, bad man!

Waaaah, oh the indignity!

You didn't really cry. :smiley:

Well, I would have but I'm allergic to water. The tears would have just left scars down my cheeks.

No, ace...peter threatened to ban me if I didn't remove my sig which was what codename section said to me.



So..they think they're clever..I put it in my sig and changed the name. Peter threatened to ban me I told him to piss off it was NOT a violation of rule #11 because I changed the name.

I was banned FROM THE SITE for (at least) 2 days.
I was reinstated and my sig restored because I did NOT violate any rules and in fact codename was the one out of line for even typing that BS and gloating about it.

gee..and they wonder why I'm disruptive sometimes..LMAO...
shoulda just left me alone and none of us would be talking about it today...but..nooooo..they're "moderators" and they must flex their power..LMAO....
Not to put too fine a point on this Akula, but the only impediment to perma banning a member is consensus among the mods. If a member's behavior is causing the expenditure of too many resources among the moderator staff, that member will ultimately be history. The moderator staff have carte blanche in this regard and there will be no reversal. We document patterns of behavior among problematic members, not that we have to, but it makes it easier during a vote to make the case for a perma ban.

None of the mods are so immature as to need to "flex their power". Mods are not chosen for inflated egos, but fair mindedness. We are the ultimate arbiters of the rules, save for an appeal to Admin and a member would have to have some extraordinary powers of persuasion to tempt Admin to overrule a mod decision. If we have ever reversed a decision it is because because of the introduction of some new piece of information/evidence that wasn't previously known.

Now for the last time, stop talking about and questioning moderator actions on the forum. It is in violation of rule number 8. If you wish to discuss the matter further, kindly address your issues to the moderator or moderator representative of your choice. Any further discussions of this nature will result in moderator action.

Give me an example of both so I can know how to recognize them.
In my experience, mod teams always keep a grey area of interpretation on rules like flaming and vulgarity. It allows the less scrupulous of them to play favorites.

[Alyosha]

So is forum agitator, obviously. Without those where would we be?

I've been one twice and found it rather easy. Important? Maybe. It depends on whether one thinks moderation is even necessary in an anonymous virtual atmosphere.

[Perianne]
