kemp is gods representative on earth. he is the bouncer for heaven. the debt collector of the soul. a real poet.
i bet admin is looking at this now, and like me, is wondering how a joke was recieved so poorly by all of you people. hang your heads in shame.
Bascially, these boards are great. In every walk of life we see injustices. The moderators and Admin have a tough job, it's human nature to have personal preferences for certain people. What is offensive to one is not offensive to another and judging where the line is must be hard, especially if your friendly with one person or another. As long as there isn't one rule for one, and another for others then there are no problems, but as mentioned above, human nature makes this hard to ensure. We don't see the conversations between the mods and admin but there is obviously dialogue between them meaning that often banning is avoided. Personally, i've agreed with every banning so far, except fan just a minute ago which was obviously a joke, as were my posts regarding it. From what we saw in the threads the people previously banned deserved it, obviously we don't know what went on via PM's but from the evidence in threads the bans were fair.
Sorry? was I not defending your point? You say there has been one rule for some and another rule for others, which happens to be exactly what I said was wrong?
Before my time i'm afraid. My generation expect jokes to be laid out on a plate with little thought needed in order to find the funny part.
This thread has highlighted one thing today, we need a whoosh smiley and quickly. Some good points raised, some cracking jokes, some arguments, this thread has it all. Seriously though, I can tell you that the way forward for the forum is always being updated and discussed. Now, to make some money out of this place :rolleye1:
That is not true, Faith did not delete fans post so she could get the 2000 post, I think you will find that firefly deleted her posts so faith would be number 2000.
Answer to your question has been answered in the post but to summerise, Yes the rules apply to everyone.
the rules apply to all, less the all who are exempt. Rarely is a fair judgement reached in life, but come judgement day, you argue your case with your creator - in your case AD - ITV
can't we go back a few hours to when it was all fun. in the words of cher, if i could turn back time la la la la
Not true you have been reported by another member. I have reviewd your post and apart from being completely wrong, it is your own opinion and as such I will take no further action. The reporter however will get a severe beating for wasting a mod's time.:]]
this whole thread is very OTT, so far there have only been examples of people not being banned for breaking the rules, yet none of people being banned for nothing. so therefore the rules apply to everyone, they just arent being treated as harshly as you expect, which is admin and the mods job and it seems to be working. also, if you contribute to the boards and are well behaved, why should you be treated the same as someone who reguarly breaks the rules? otherwise why would anyone want to be a mod, chewitt and i presume afflyn stole got the th 'orns from their second acounts, and do alot of work. some people seem to think that this forum is something to be treated like its massively important and thre must be strict laws. if that happens rules that dont help are followed and dont help. if its for the 'greater good' not banning someone why do it?
:sign5: I've read though this thread from the beginning and I haven't a clue what's going on. The way I see it, it's admin's board and he lets us play here. We've seen what the alternative is and we didn't like it, so just play nicely and stop taking it all so seriously.
Just one of those threads that you go with the flow on. I think the wave has crested now and it goes into history.
