WE?

What nationality are you anyway? You have a Canadian flag but you seem to travel all over the place.

Do you follow cricket? I guess you must since it's practically a national obession in India.

Threads that shouldn't be closed are being closed.

People who shouldn't be suspended are being suspended.

Drunk threads can be locked after they've served their purpose. If someone doesn't feel like reading a drunk thread, OMG, guess what? They can choose not to read the thread!! Incroyable? No?

No one forces any of us to read EVERY thread in EVERY forum. I don't understand why this is even an issue and definitely, I do not agree that people who start drunk threads deserve a 48 hour suspension.

Coupers, somewhere you said that you had received lots of complaints about someone...WTF. If someone pms a complaint, why don't you just tell them to use the ignore feature? OMG, how hard is that? It's not fair to consider how many complaints you've received because no one pms you if they like someone. I mean seriously, what are you supposed to do? Start a thread somewhere advising us that you've received 3 complaints about User ABCDEFG so you want to hear from those who support or enjoy User ABCDEFG? Of course not.

But if you don't do that, what's going to happen? If someone offends me (i.e. let's say someone says I sound like a cum-guzzling tranny whore and OMG my feelings are hurt!!!!111 ) I can pm you, I can get all of my little intarweb buddies to pm you...and you'll eventually ban that person? As much as I might enjoy that, it wouldn't be fair and it wouldn't be reasonable.

You pounce on igottaknow. While I definitely do not condone racism and obviously haven't read many threads of late, I do typically enjoy his posts.

And geez, if someone spits at Orbs why can't he spit back? This makes no sense to me. You let some of us say what we want when we want and others are restricted? I don't have to temper my posts. Why does he?

And and and.

I keep hearing about the 'rules.' This guy got banned cuz he broke the rules. Where are the rules? What are the rules?

Okay.

I'm done. Haha, I'm spozed to be putting together a 45 minute presentation and I haven't even opened PowerPoint or Authorware. la la la

It was more fun typing this post.

rules need to be updated.
then members decide wether they want to post in a forum under those guidelines

I like the way you think. In my earlier days I would have blown up but now I vented a little then sent my PMs, took a deep breath and moved on. I didn't create this thread, but it struck a chord with me, so I added my 2 cents.

No one thinks mods shouldn't lock a drunk thread or something that's gone out of control, but its a slippery slope when mods determine what is entertaining or tasteless. I believe in a light handed approach. The COR has self correcting ability. Uninteresting threads fall down off the first page and are forgotten. A-holes will lose respect and will be ignored or laughed off.

My view of the COR is that its a place you can blow off steam and clown around. If you want serious discussion there are plenty of other rooms on this board for that purpose. IMHOP this is the COR, good, bad, or ugly take it for what it is and stop trying to "clean it up".

As far as me being a racist. I know I'm not and I'm not going to waste my time for trying to prove it. Echo makes a good point about complaints. I also get the feeling that complaints against other members are a method of removing ppl they don't like or a form of hypersensitivity that shouldn't be catered to. Reminds me of the religious types who are offened by the teaching of evolution.

Do you understand what purpose the moderators serve here? Do you have any idea what these forums would look like if moderators weren't here to prevent people from posting complete shit all the time?

If everyone had free-reign to post whatever they liked, two things would happen:

1) This forum would be literally nothing but useless, impulsive posts. There would be no reason for people to consider, for even a second, anything they were going to contribute. Nothing of value would ever be posted and anything that was of value would be bumped off the first page within half an hour.

2) Every post that is made increases Swamper's bandwidth costs and clogs up his server. Unless you are financially contributing to TA, I'm not sure why you should get any say in what is or is not an acceptable contribution here.

People in this part of the forum complain about the strictness of the mods, but I don't think that any of the people who post here have any real idea about how strict forum moderation can be. Take a look at the moderation on forums such as those on www.somethingawful.com (arguably the best on the internet) and then come back and tell me that the mods here are strict. The mods here are patient and let an awful lot of shitty posting slide. If you don't like the fact that drunk-threads are being closed - given the incredible purpose they serve on a trance forum - feel free to encourage these posters to go elsewhere. I'm sure that the couple of dozen or so "COR Whores" - the ones complaining about the moderation here - will not be missed by the rest of the community.

Most of the people who read COR miss the COR whores who stop posting when they stop posting.

If the drunk threads take up that much bandwidth (which I doubt), delete them once they've served their purpose.

I am not criticizing the moderators as a group. I criticize a lack of consistency.

And again, if the mods are enforcing rules...what are the rules? Where are they? Am I stupid? Am I the only TA who doesn't know what the rules are? In any society, you can't enforce the laws if the laws aren't known. If someone is banned and they honestly have no idea why they are banned, something is wrong.

The PPD room seems to manage fine without much mod action and thats a pretty sharp area with hot tempers and deep idiological battles. If ppl can tolerate being offened there why not here?

Echo's point is you have no idea that ppl are complaining about you until you're banned. With the subjective "rules" tighting of late one truely doesn't know what is off limits. In the past it was pretty clear, no spam, no porn and no flame wars.

What is spam? I honestly don't know. Cuz people called my thread a spam thread but in my opinion, the bulk of the spam therein was posted by a mod (Ste).

We aren't allowed to flame?

Are you serious? Does that mean everyone who says something mean about somebody else gets banned?

Where does it tell us this? Or are we born with this knowledge?

Echo for president!!!




I wish she were the head of MY union!


We need a bat phone to call Chrissi in the dark times when the evil mods reign chaos in the COR. & maybe a bat signal. & put on a tight latex suit too. mmmm yerr that would be hot.

You have been mistaken

are you feigning ignorance or being sincere? see the "free ipod" thread . The intraweb is full of unscruplious ppl who make a living using message boards for free advertising. they've destroyed usenet and any other form of communication they can leech.

i think a mod would be more qualified than me to splain teh "rules". but i would be interested to hear them define these rules.

I agree with Igottaknow:

in response to renegade's post:

i think that at this point, TA already has useless, impulsive posts and threads... it has been like that for a long time. But I believe that TA (especially in the COR) has a tendency to self-regulate. I don't think chaos and impulsive threads will rule the day, by all means, I think what Igottaknow said was perfect.

it seems to me the very people who are wasting ta are annoyed at the recent modage.

maybe thats because of my opinion or maybe its because you ar actually ****s

on another note: chrissi, not only does she hit the nail right on the head.......she's gorgeous too.

echo knows exactly what she is talkin about, kudos!

your post makes no sense.

I think you should be banned for making a post that others can't understand. I will pm Coupers now and recommend that he ban you. And get all of my friends to pm him. This means you'll be banned. Fair enough?

Of course not.

Instead of calling someone like me a ****, think about what I'm saying. If you're capable of thought. Tell me why I'm wrong.

And since I'm not "wasting" TA this probably wasn't directed at me but since it's not clear, I chose to respond. And I still don't feel like doing what I'm supposed to be doing (work work work work work).

ja ja Hi Pinky Poo.
