"oh and yeah like totally I'm not talking to him anymore cuz he's all like whatever and like-"
you know what I love about moderators here? Here's what:
Sort:
Yes, we are very lucky to have mods who are not eager to throw their weight around, who are capable of looking at and understanding context.
Yeah, I agree that the mods rock, but I find it ironic that you should praise them in a thread that is almost just as likely to degenerate into the very same sort of thing that you are praising them for locking.
I think what did it was when I tattled on Reb to kohai for shouting.

That would be ironic, indeed. Only time will tell.

Strange. Wouldn't it just be better if they booted the few trolls and whatnots that try to start flame wars? Instead of just locking topics they try to start them in? Seems trolls just gain power the way they mod the forums now. They seem to get topics locked and deleted, not themselves. A form of forum terrorists, IMO. And they make these forums very dull and quiet.

This site does not employ moderators. It has however, a built in cleaning system to flush out posts from among the profane, vulgar and uncouth. Most here have nothing worthwhile to say anyway let alone of interest even to the casual observer. The reason for this is twofold: first, most who post here are under 40 and therefore, they have never lived life yet. Secondly, most are unlearned and ill-educated brutes who don't know how to say anything even if they had something worthwhile to share.

this is awesome.
They pay attention to threads and usually when one becomes really dumb or personal they lock or delete it. This used to bother me when I first joined up, but experience has shown me that the mods are not willy nilly about this and the result is that we have a chance, i say a CHANCE, at having threads that are not complete flame fests.
So since I know somebody will ask I'll tell you the brief version of the story. I had/have a thread going, and somebody posted a rather inflamatory remark regarding an entire nationality. Knowing this person as I do, albeit just from a couple of recent threads where I've seen him flame for no good reason, I decided to block him. So, this person decides to start an entire thread basically to whine/complain about my blocking him. I knew he was just thrashing about and being immatrue so I made a couple of very short comments such as "+1 and -1 replying to other's thoughts and basically stayed out of it. I would have been more inclined to jump in and defend myself from his unfair charges but I knew that the mods would lock it after a day or two and that's exactly what happened and so:
That's what I love about mods here :)
