Very interesting theory. Let me give it some thought...

*thinking to myself*

My conclusion is that your conclusion is incorrect. Your opinion is always welcome though.

itikia

funny...didn't i mention something along the lines of this forum is getting out of hand with personal shit? hmm...but oh nooooooo...only replies were 'it's only this thread, the rest is fine...no probems here'

i still don't think banning/suspending accts solves anything really...just makes a sticky telling everyone to calm down or the TOTA section is gonna go hardcore and moderate every single post to the point where you say 'shit' and your post is deleted

you guys are strange

Originally posted by Endlesswave It has nothing to do with him being black or personal dislike. He made racist comments heavily implying that people from the middle east are inclined to be terrorists and blow things up which is DEAD WRONG. Shit like that = ban. Vividboy's shit distubring was ok sometimes(we all need that, that's what the khalalal crew is for) but when serious shit happens you stop that. Same goes for Kahalalalla peeps, when the serious shit happens stop the khalalalal crap. Not the place for it.

i completely agree with this.. *shrug*

you are completely incorrect here. The Khallalalallala stuff was started soley for fun and was not directed at anybody in a derogatory manner. Its a chant by middle easterners and it was being used my middle easterners. THEY WERENT INSULTING ANYBODY!! the worst they did was get on a lot of peoples nerves and defend themselves from the insulting antics of mju:ick or whatever his name is. Therefore, I'll say it again (cuz it sounds good) I AM RIGHT!

(P.S. Mirza and I were NOT staring you down at A&B. I dont know how u got that impression. We were kind of "in our own world" that night.)

So what? Suspend 30?

I have to admit that some went a little too far and people here should be old enough to know better.

The anonymity of the Internet is no excuse for slipping back to preschool mannerisms...

Gawd...I sound like my mother...see what you made me do??

depends on the crime. You cant punish somebody who killed somebody the same as somebody who stole some candy out of a store....

The problem is, "We" don't get to choose who.
"They" do.

"We" are guests.
"They" own the house that "We" are in.

They can't predict everything that's going to go on in a forum, they can only react to what has already been done and make the best judgement call from there.

We don't have to like it.

It's not what happened, it's how we react to it.

The admins can't undo what they just did because then it looks like they don't have a backbone in their own house and can succumb to the whim of their guests' beck and call.

Maybe they do have to rethink their policies.
Maybe they should ADD something to their policies.

Are their any suggestions out there then?

Partyprincess..stop whining...the admins did their job.

Open up your own website and set your rules there...then you can ban anyone you want.
