1. where are all the mods when we need them or talking about them?

2. me and my friends used to shoot pigeons from those innocent airguns that shoot little plastic balls that don't even hurt. but that was like 5 years ago and we did it because the pigeons were annoying the crap out of us - like sitting on the windows and, damn, what's the word? chirping (?) loudly and shitting on the windows, those little bastards

CHILL THE FUCK OUT

Ok....

The thread was about `Black Widows` and the bird was just a small part of the thread. I just wanted to chill out in the chill out room and discuss `Black Widows`. So can we talk about them here ?

Hey, I balgged the corner shop wich is atleast 150m today from my garden. The shop keeper was coming out and looking about but i was hid behind a tree, sweet or what, he he.

He went down to the ground like that old Nintendo video game... spinning. None of his other bird friends stuck around after that.

I just have to ask you, how much could a bird hurt your cat and couldn't your cat defend itself adequetly seeing how it usually kills birds?

When I get home, i'll post a pic of my macaw...
update: damn i m too tired and 2morrow i ve got another final (monetary theory)

Maybe then u'll understand that birds are not "shootable stuff" but a living being that has feelings blah blah...

Anyway, my macaw can speak some w0rdZ.. he can even answer the phone ("�Helo?")... and he flyies a lot.. he loves to fly around!!!

(Ps: Well, I admit this is a kind of stupid post... but I really have a macaw and its kewl)

Oh about that "this site is for music" post.. c'mon?? have u seen the other threads in the Chillout..? half of them have nothing to do with music.

I think there needs to be some mod rotations where different people get to be mods. For some mods, having the power to push buttons and rule over others is a hobby and pleasure. Some dont have a sense of humour, take things too seriously and suppress those who are simply stating the truth or their own opinion. Whether someone's opinion is right or wrong does not matter.

I read the other topic and found it quite amusing until i read a post with red writing, where that person suffering from PMS decided to close the thread because he/she felt that the thread opposed their personal opinion.

Please, a mod rotation would be a lot better. having mods in power, like having politicians in power too long allows them to seek out interests of their own instead of those interests of the community.

you'd think that one would be able to speak your mind a little more freely in the "chill-out room"... sigh

Exactly...Compared to some other threads, that one was normal and way un-offensive

Any-way, i kinda got the message that themods cant be arsed with this thread any-more so let it die just like the.....ah fuck it.

K ill defend the mods here, i too agree with you that too many threads get closed, i personally wouldnt have closed the bird shooting thread, out of taste yes, i would have let it go and let people say their anger towards the guy who shot it.

Mod practices have been discussed before but let me be blunt for a second -

-We close a thread, someone doesnt like it
-We leave a thread open, someone doesnt like it
-We edit a offensive/too large sig to keep the clutter down and 56k friendly, then the sig owner gets mad
-We leave the sig there, people get mad with offensive/too large sigs

Whatever we do, someone will not like it, and recently no1 has been thinking about us, its "i dont like what that mod did, lets have a go" well dont, we spend our time trying our best to keep these forums good, and whatever decision we make, we upset someone. So it would be nice, if in future if u see a bad decision , dont shout off about it, because just because u dont agree, others might. Same in x months time, u may see a discion that you agree with, but someone else wont. We all basically have to take the good with the bad, thats life im afraid. Im not saying "we all have to keep quiet and let the mods do what they like" im saying simple decisions we make we shouldnt have to have a massive 'justification' post. If something is majorally wrong, then say so, but im sure you would get mad, as are the mods having to justify every thing we do or every sig we edit. Esp sigs, every time we toutch one of them, we come back and theres a smutty remark left for us. (ps - the 'sig was removed as it was deemed offensive is the standard line which swamper set if we click suspend sig, we didnt make it up (because alot have complained about that also))

Feel free to post comments

But u shouldn't be closing threads all around... i was just going to post my thoughts about burns' post, but now i cant (at least in that thread). C'mon, at least give the rest of some free speech about the issue!! Next time think twice about closing threads.

Thanks.

Ps:(check thread here)

wurd coup..

yes there are a lot of threads that get closed.. but mainly because they are full of stuff thats gunna break out in a flame war. flame wars is NOT what tranceaddict is about...

and as coup said, whichever way we make a decision its going to get bitched at by one person or another.. but that just goes with the job.

if you dont like a descision made by a moderator, then making a thread about it isnt going to change anything. once a mod makes a decision he IS going to stand by it and winging about it isnt going to make him re-open it

as for the ones calling this guy a lamer or whatever... this is exactly the kind of behaviour and attitude that makes this forum have so many closed threds... because of stupid little bitchy arguments that go way over the top. some people need to learn to agree to differ. if someone has a conflicting veiw from my own, i would discuss it, not call him a bitch or a lamer because of it
