Boromirs Smirking Revenge, Mccleary

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

Not that I care personally, I am just curious because they were posting rather frequently, than all of a sudden just disappeared.

[Guest J*ingus]

Boromir was Ozymandias, a previously-banned poster. McLeary was wacked for starting some shit in Puro and flaming a mod.

[Guest Memoirs of an Invisible Chevy]

The mods are out for blood lately. I could a warning as well. Better check your sense of humor at the door, they're crackin' down. Especially the Puroheads.

 

*gets banned*

If you've been banned before you always get banned when you come back......that's just the way it is.

[Guest Crucifixio Jones]

So is flaming a mod a more serious offense than flaming a regular poster?

 

Does having a little "fake" control over an internet messageboard make you more important in a way that I haven't discovered yet?

[Guest DrTom]

So is flaming a mod a more serious offense than flaming a regular poster?

Depends who you ask. Obviously, the person who banned him thought it was, and when it comes down to it, that's the only opinion that really matters here. Personally, I don't think it's any more important, but I don't invest my ego in bulletin boards, don't take myself seriously, and generally think flaming is a farcially overrated offense. Others' mileage may vary.

 

There's also the point of view that blatant disrespect and abuse toward forum moderators should not be tolerated, and I can see some validity in that.

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

If somebody flames in a post I am generally pretty forgiving, unless it is racist or something.

 

My problem is when a poster posts a bunch of useless topics with the sole intention of flaming, to the point that they clog up the board.

[Guest J*ingus]

In this instance, the mod warned McLeary for some stuff, who apparently told the mod to fuck off in return, pretty much punching his own ticket.

[Guest Crucifixio Jones]

I just don't like the whole putting mods above the regular posters thing. Seems kinda...ghey to me. I mean, really, a mod is just someone who was given access to a few features on an internet messageboard. It's not like they interviewed for the job or displayed some kind of superior accumen in a given field. Someone clicked a box beside their name and made them a "moderator", not "God" or "Mr. Ban."

 

People tend to become admins and mods and think WAY too much of themselves. Get some perspective.

[Guest DrTom]

Hey, I had a swelled head BEFORE I took this gig.

 

::bans CJ::

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

When you get a warning and your response is "fuck you" you will be banned. That should be clear enough.

 

Warnings let you know that you have one shot left...immediatly turning around and using that to flame anyone is how you get your ticket punched.

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

Tom speaks the truth. He's had a big head for a while.

 

Is there a way to change the status of Moderator to "Mr. Ban?" That sounds really awesome.

[Guest areacode212]

I was actually considering changing my name to that, except that I hardly ever ban anyone.

I would like to throw my hat in the ring to become a mod. We need more mods.

[Guest DrTom]

Quiet, you.

It's definitely a thankless job, most of the time. But I knew that when I took it, and I have no regrets or complaints. If people want to see me as a bad guy or a prick for doing what I think needs to be done to maximize the enjoyment of this forum, then so be it. If they want to tell me that, that's fine too. I don't take myself seriously enough that if someone said, "I think you're a shitty mod," that I'd go, "OMG BAN PLZ~!!"

 

Generally, I think all of our moderators do good jobs, and I've had very little cause to question anyone's judgment in handling some matter on these boards.

(clears throat)

 

I think you're a shitty mod, and even my Caprice owns your Maxima Modmobile.

 

That is all.

[Guest DrTom]

OMG BAN PL... damn, I said I wouldn't do that. Uh...

 

Hm.

 

Oh, just fuck off.

Yes, the car that second graders designed. Good lord, I thought that exterior was some elaborate joke or a concept car when I first saw it.
