Why I hate being banned...

[HYHYBT]

I really hope people are joking about being horribly scarred by my moderating.

Trust me...I'm actually a nice person and not really a hardass at all.

Some of the CS people have met me, and they can vouch for me.

Exactly the sort of person from whom a rebuke is most memorable.

[Ree]

I will never forget about the time, I got yelled at by you, lol

Oh...I don't think I actually yelled at you.
After all, there wasn't an all caps message from me, was there?

Boozy explained perfectly the reason we keep such tight reins on things.
I think it's effective.

We have a great membership, and more people joining all the time.
I think one of the reasons is because we do keep things on an even course.

Some may not agree with the way it's done, but I think many people would be very surprised at the number of reported posts we get in any given day with members pointing out things to the mods. The majority of the membership understands the way things are meant to be on the sites, and go the extra step to help keep things going smoothly.

So, Ree, you're saying it's not true that you bathe in the blood of innocent little kittens to maintain your youth and vitality? Cause that's what I heard...

[Ree]

Oh no...that part's true.

I'm just really nice when I do it.

Well if you're that evil, would they say anything else?

[Greenday]

To be honest, I don't even remember what I did other than offending someone. It's a distant memory that I hadn't even thought of until this thread came up.

[Hobbs]

Threadjack started riiiiight....

Tbh, I'm still scarred from the time Ree gave me a warning...years ago. I have nightmares about it...

I had no idea you were banned on CS. I rarely post on there these days. I don't work in anything with regular customers and I'm not allowed to go into detail about what I do so there's really no reason for me posting as much there anymore. But yea, if you were banned on CS, I'm pretty sure there was a reason behind it. CS and Fratching are the best moderated forums I've ever been on. They are extremely fair and are quick to respond to issues. I've been nothing but impressed by the mods.

here.

It took 'til the second(third?) page to do so. I'm impressed.

That's not thread drift. That's still talking about mods and you getting banned from CS. Which, hm, I'm pretty sure is in the title of the thread.

No, it began the discussion on Ree being evil/whatnot...which is not the title of this thread, hmmm?

PS: what's with the "hmm" statement here? Is it some Fratching-thing I don't get?

Addendum: The title is "Why I hate being banned..." which is not about mods at all, unless through various tangents.

[the_std]

Fine, I'll quote to you what you quoted to the rest of us...

Gee. That seems to be about the mods, about your banning, and about the title of the thread. So what was that you were saying?

That's...not me...

[the_std]

Sigh. Really? Do I have to do this?

You quoted Greenday in a post talking about how the thread was drifting, and yet your quote had the majority of it talking about the exact topic of your thread title. That is what I'm talking about.

[Hobbs]

Well excuse me for being lazy and not editing the quote. Geez.

[the_std]

This is a debate forum. If you're not willing to be picked apart for your mistakes, trivial or not, then don't post here or be more careful about what you say. Mistakes in your posts make your argument weak and easier picked-apart, which will be done, because this is, again, a debate forum. That is your fault, not mine.

[Plaidman]

Well dude, it just... bad timing. You posted it a few days after you got banned, you make mention of it in your topic. People defended mods, most noticablly Ree because we all love her, and the other mods to death. They work damn hard, and don't get a quarter of the thanks they deserve for their hardwork. So yeah, people are going to tell you that you obviouslly did wrong, and whatever it was you got banned for was desrving, as no mod would go power mad and just ban just because.
