Probably the most fundamentally honest and factual thing in this thread. Personally couldn't do it.. If I were to ever attempt to make a board or forum such as this, there wouldn't be as much leniency.. successful forums aren't run by the peons. Sure, a lot of people here wouldnt cut it.. and I'd be fine with that. I also would cut off open registration after a while to prevent alt accounts and general havoc.. hosting private boards would add to intrigue and probably spur more quality content. I'd probably open registration back up from time to time or allow for invites from established members..
But this shit.. I personally wouldn't deal with. Take your whinny self righteous asses and you'd have to go somewhere else with it. It's like you have the mentality that you feel entitled to being made mods or defining how this board is run.. when you don't. Please tell me you walk into a grocery store and tell them how much your going to pay for their shit.. You don't.. And that shit doesn't fly.. not in real life.. not here. I keep reading these post with this casual smile, wondering to myself... just how fucking stupid are you? I mean, you have a sufficient grasp over some relatively large words so.. I'm inclined to at least assume your educated enough to formulate intelligent conclusions.. but what about self reflection.. and the capability to admit when one may be wrong, or at least.. not entirely right. Like children holding their breathe till their blue in the face because they didn't get their way.. so pathetic, just so pathetic.
Maybe its just my generation, because I'm still a bit old school....but I hold people to their word. If you say you are going to do something, YOU DO IT. You make a promise to people....YOU FOLLOW THROUGH ON IT.
Using your grocery store analogy....of course I pay for the groceries. But if I take a can off the shelves labelled "pineapple chunks", and then get home to open it and find its actually tomato paste....I'm at least going to contact the grocer and let him know there is some kind of fuck up somewhere. And depending on his response and demeanor is how I'll proceed accordingly after.
So when someone says they will only mod professional and stable people...but instead mod one of the most immature and unstable posters possible...... I really have tomato paste in my hands.
Just like when someone tries to reinvent the definition of spam being "he hurt my feelings and I don't like it"....I really have tomato paste in my hands.
Or when someone is whining that people are actually bitching and moaning in a Bitch and Moan section.....I really have tomato paste on my hands.
Instead of being logical, rational, and sincere while trying to resolve the fuckup.....the grocer is basically telling us "looks like pineapple chunks to me, Fuck you!".
