Moderated forums

Inhuman · 12.15.2009, 12:40 AM

After experiencing the probing shitness of other forums, I have concluded that moderators are indeed lumps of whey protein.

I had replied to a thread that was over 2 weeks old and got a warning about it. Then in a future thread, people discussed their forum infractions, and I mentioned "I had bumped an old thread with a sarcastic message, but the tradeoff was worth it". I then receive a PM from the mod informing me that my post had been edited to not include the words "but the tradeoff was worth it". Uh, really?

SYG feels much more chillax.

Sup?

thats because chris habib does not give a fuck. not one fuck.

Moderated forums usually suck. That's one of the reasons why I like SYG, you can basically wherever you want. And if you post something that's lame, it will fall down to the depths of the board anyway. It's not like we can't have serious discussions just because there's no moderator

Well, WUT?

chabib has always been nice to me and takes good care of really important stuff, like spammers in the sharing section and people like Blatherskyte (sp?) or the president of earth.

God this place has turned to shit lately. we need chabib to flood it all with bans and the chosen posters to board an ark of immunity which will ride out the storm until all is well again.

all I want is 5 minutes inside the admin cp. I feel that I could accomplish a world of good in that time.

are you sure that you want to delete SY.SQL? Y

This place has turned to shit eh? Well, not as fast as yr brains did! hahahahaha

At Rate Your Music, they actually do bans for a period of so many days if you're bad. One time I was banned for like a week and didn't even know it until I came back a couple weeks later and people were asking how I liked being banned.

Yeah, I got banned for starting like 6 Velvet Underground threads or something ridiculous like that.

afterthefact · 12.15.2009, 10:08 AM

I was on a board where if you wanted to start a thread about a band (and god help you if there was already one!) you had to make the thread title "band name OFFICIAL THREAD". I didn't do it that way, and my thread was closed. Burn on me.

This is the only forum I do because it's loose and the people are generally cool. Some tangents can get pretty wild but eventually the participants come back to ground zero....Other forums tend to be loaded with trolls. Trolls that
come here are weeded out fast and had their asses takin to the wood shed

Derek · 12.15.2009, 10:49 AM

I don't get why forum mods are so anal about everything on other forums. You're running a forum, not a country so don't get too mad with power buddy..

Rob Instigator · 12.15.2009, 10:50 AM

yes!

Derek · 12.15.2009, 10:51 AM

And actually, forums that are too restrictive just DECREASE discussion and kill off a community. Though on the other hand, most other forums are just 14 year old 4chan wannabes.

Some forum mods act like there's limited cyberspace. That's why RYM banned me. I was making too many threads! Gasp!
