None of you complained when I deleted Sternn posts attacking the both of you.

Probably should have, considering you openly call yourself biased (and it's been clearly demonstrated here), which is a really great quality of Moderators. And who's complaining about direct insult posts (directed at other members) being deleted? Of anyone's?

On another thread, I barely had time to notice that his offensive post was still on before the two of you came at me demading explanations for letting his post stay on.

This seems to be a reoccuring theme. "I didn't have time to realize 9/11 jokes were offensive to anyone in the states who lost friends or family in those attacks. I did, however, have enough time to realize that a Muslim joke was offensive as hell."

or maybe...

"I didn't have time to realize that Sternn posted a picture of his penis on the board, which violates the no pornography rule."

or...

"I didn't have enough time to realize that Sternn posted duplicate thread tropics that needed to be merged, which was even requested."

I owe nothing to no one here.
Not when it comes to content.

I'd say you owe the board the duties of a moderator. Not just selectively deleting shit when you feel it's "right" and asserting some kind of "authority." Like merging dupilicate threads and removing pornographic content. If you disagree, let it be known.

Yes, all 9/11 terrorists were muslim. Most were Saudi. And ALL were men.

First off Christians as a whole are insulted on these boards weekly.

Secondly, that bumpersticker of Binkie's that you selectively chose to remove made a point: The people that died as a result of the Newsweek article were and were killed by Muslims. The point was that they were so upset about the book being flushed they killed other humans. The sticker did not say "ALL Muslims".

EPS deleted Sternn's post, not you, cause it had A PENIS. Not a facsimile, not hinted at, but a full-on penis. That broke a rule and you should have jumped on that, and the 9/11 jokes (people died period) with the same speed you ran to protect Sternn's feelings. No, Binkie and I are not going to PM and email the mods whining and crying like Sternn does.

And speaking of which, who deleted the CptSternn's Mega Anti-U.S. thread? And why? If it was Secretboy then fine, because it's his call to do that. But if not, I remember a time when he specifically told you publically NOT to delete threads. That being said, did you do it? If so, why?

I see alot of concern on the part of two people, and two people only, about the protection of Sternn from attacks. Seeing as he gets on here to rile shit up, and the fact that twice now he has gotten so pissed he has wanted to fight people in real life, I see the effort to defend someone who brings it all on himself as futile.

It's been proven time and again he can't take what he dishes, usually cause he can't dish as well as the Binkster.

Hell, I say remove the politic's thread in general. It served a purpose around election time, but now it's just a place where shit gets started. You guys lost a long-time and well loved member because of this section, and he even said before he left that the Politics Thread was the worse thing to happen to this board.

Aw heeeell no. There are still a decent amount of people who want to discuss things calmly even though we're not voting in the next three months. I'm sick to death of threads turning into a contest of who can get out the better insult, though, and of having to search through ten threads of this kind of crap to find one of the serious discussions. I'm guilty of this also, but I've tried to limit personal posts as much as possible and stayed out of the free-for-alls that break out. I would LOVE for personal shit never to start here. I'm so damn bored of it.

I'm sure some sort of system can be worked out to avoid that from happening, beyond a mod deleting specific posts, which seems to just create more fights. How about the next time someone makes a personal attack here, they're banned from the politics section? I don't know what's possible and not possible logistically, but if there's any way to regulate these boards, I would heart it like whoa. The politics section is the only thing keeping me here-shocker, but I don't really care about what people are listening to/wearing/watching on TV. There is no freaking way it's going away.

No, I did not delete the Mega Anti-US thread.

I haven't deleted threads since I was told not to by Secret, with the exception of the overtly moronic or useless ones started by newbies as their 1st post.

I still believe I'm giving no one special treatment. I'm gonna continue deleting/editing out any posts I find to be personal insults or attacks by anyone.

like i said before: contact me or any other mod when you feel you?ve been mistreated or misrepresented by mods:

And like i also said before: TAKE IT UP WITH THE ÜBERMODS. They're not vicious people. Your grievances with me will be handled fairly by either Secret or Weasel. Until I hear it from them, I'll just keep doing what I'm doing.

Members you dislike should be treated like trolls, ignored.
Some of you get all hot and bothered here over someone you wouldn't give the time of day to in the real world.

Let's try to focus a bit, shall we?

I'll try in the future to pay more attention to anything that might be construed as offensive (you may not like it), and in return, I'd like members not to act like children (and don't even try denying it, 'cause it's been clearly demonstrated here).

If you think your ego-nemesis has gone too far in a post, tell mods about it instead of doing something even in worst taste.

It's just that after doing that, it makes it harder for a mod to criticize the person who fucked up in the 1st place.
1st place being the start of every thread and not shit from way back when you guys dredge up with every political thread that gets started. I mean, you notice how all political threads look alike, regardless of the thread name?

Soul_Immortal · 06-06-2005, 01:12 PM

I KNEW IT!!

I saw the scrolling thread updates and KNEW IT. Sternn...here's to ya! 8)
Mael, you have a point there, you do. Which is why I will not be posting the pic I had ready. One reason because its that damn kitten with the green apple on its head, the second being...

ALL political threads DO look(,...smell, stink, walk, talk, shit, eat, breathe) the same. Same insulting hogwash and bittle that we all, at some point, argue over during a nice cup of coffee. How in the heck are we going to ruin a good cup of coffee...or this forum, with the aforementioned.

*grumble sigh*

Soul is not having a good day. Soul has made a new discovery: Jet lag can be attained from a 22 hour bus ride. So I, in the light of a coffeeless-banter-stage of ....whatever. Listen to Mael and the other Mods, people. Stop arguing, stop nitpicking, and stop the witless "My pussy hurts!" whining.

:shock: Maybe I should be the first to do so...

*Soul*

CptSternn · 06-07-2005, 08:11 AM

Granny - brilliant idea. I say anytime someone takes the discussion off of politics and starts in with personal attacks there should be a penalty system.

Anyway, back to the pix!

Yeah, but if only we had an admin and not a mod who's confused about his role and responsbilities pretending to be an admin (maybe cause he doesn't know how to use the mod functions such as merging threads? Maybe that'd explain why he still deletes threads that he's been told not to rather than just merging them?).
