Fatal Mistakes By The Moderators

[nimda]

Here is the rule:

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.
Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

What is unclear about this rule?
The rules are NOT negotiable!

Read the rule again, OUTLOUD! (And while you're at it, read the rest of the rules)

If you have a problem complying with our moderators (who by the way are very reasonable), then you will be banned.

Let me put it nicely for the last time: If you don't respect the rules of this community, then get the hell out of here

C'mon now, don't you find it at least a little bit funny when they recite crap like "Do not question thy moderator and/or administrator actions!" ?..

That's not at all what we said. You can question actions, but there are proper outlets for that. The place for doing that is not on the forum. That should be done by private message and/or email.


and bruin, to answer you... I have seen moderation and rules there as well.

I respect the role you mods play and know it isn't easy - even louseyourname does a pretty comendable job most of the time IMO...but I think you are being too quick to ban people - recently (even some of our Turk friends - except for the most blatantly racist against Armenians) and earlier this year - seems as if there was a mass of (questionable) bannings. Anyway - I really can't at all understand why Bruin was banned - makes no sense to me whatsoever. I like this forum - but I'm worried that pretty soon we may become just a narrow minded conformity obsessed dictatorial led clique such as h y e forum has become. Please reconsider some of these bannings - bruin in particular..I don't see her at all harmful and I think she makes a valuable addition to the forum.

I think I said this above... You don't see the posts that are edited or deleted if you don't read them before we do, so you can't know exactly what's been done or said. Just trust us on that one. There was plenty of reason for it.
Here we are again though discussing on the forum.

I'm going to close this thread now because the original post has been settled and IMO so have the rest.
