Moderators skirting the auto-censor?!?


Recommended Posts

Okay. I've seen this a time or two before...and been unimpressed by it. I still am, but what I'm seeing is full-out flagrant violation of what I had always thought was a solid rule, and a bannable offense. :dozey: Over at Samandmax.Net, two of the moderators are openly skirting the auto-censor and flaming myself and RayJones...apparently with no fear of repercussions! :mad:

 

The thread in question: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=1285935#post1285935

 

Look--I've been a sailor and a cook, and believe me when I say that I've probably heard more swear words in my life than most anyone. Swear and flame me all you want, it won't hurt me. ;)However, there are more people than just us involved in reading what they have posted...this includes little ten-year old Johnny, whose parents have secured his internet access from websites that promote smut and assume that he will not be able to read swear words on his screen in the first place.

 

So what exactly is the official policy on this? I myself use a swear word on occasion, but do the courtesy of at least starring out a letter or two so dear old mom won't feel the shock of seeing it, and her kid won't learn from me how to spell it. :rolleyes: Is it too much to expect the moderators to at least restrain themselves this far...?

zoom dog. I was just there as well and saw it. I have posted about it in out private forums. I find it in very bad taste that a SM would use langauge that are to try and keep cleaned up here.

 

As far as this Setion guy it looks like we could stand to take out some trash that seems to be stinking up the Sam and Max forums.

 

It will get taken care of.

right man.. such things tangenting me peripherally .. ;)

i know such words too .... and since i am a rap fanatic i know many of those "funkey" words.. :rolleyes: but i only use them in a friendly context .. if you know what i mean. :)

 

 

 

 

.. what I'm seeing is full-out flagrant violation of what I had always thought was a solid rule, and a bannable offense.

 

me too, me too. i wonder what would happen if WE step up there using such words ..

 

 

;)

 

*sigh*

but zoom .. as usual none of these people will come here and say:

"oh. that was wrong. i kind of 'overreacted' because i misunderstooddont understood what ray was trying to say as he mentioned the four stars. and of course this rul is important and should notnever be broken. i(we) should have used a more 'descriptive' language to diss RayJones."

you're right sttct. if they would be any form of intelligent life or at least something similar .. they would ignore my awful posts. or compare my mental horizon to that of an kneeling ant. (would have been a cool wordplay to my post there .. :))

 

:D

 

 

[edit]

People in power (and their underlings) should know that it is courtesy to say things to someone's face first, and address things properly. But then, all you guys can do is talk about censorship behind my back, and know nothing of common courtesy.

 

"As far as this Setion guy it looks like we could stand to take out some trash that seems to be stinking up the Sam and Max forums."

 

I'm glad the only time you care to visit and support our forum is when you wish to "take care of buisness." It's so nice to know nit-wits like you use your "powers" so nicely. You are the moderator of a forum. At least I have the decency to talk TO you, like a man. You are the kind of person who pisses in my cup and calls it applejuice. You make judgement without even ADDING THOUGHTS to our board, you call it stinky? I call you Nurse Ratched. (note, that may be well above your reading level)

 

Now, as for the two idiots. You contribute nothing to the board. It is an established community that dates back 10 years. You can't start flames and then duck out to outsiders and call bully. And I do mean outsiders, because, as I've stated, you do NOT contribute to the board. If you wish to call our board garbage, do it to me and the other members of the board's face.

 

Because in that way, I can rip you to shreds. Whether you think your godly "edit" and "lock" and "ban" skills are your only tools as a moderator or not.

You sir, are talking out of your ass. It is completely the opposite, which is why we are in trouble.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about. I've yet to see an LF mod other than the S&M mods insult their users and curse them out... AND threaten to ban them for no reason other than to flex their digital muscle.

Stop Jester, I'm trying to win this in a serious manner, for humor is lost on these souls.

 

pbguywhateverrrandomfreakingnumber: Quite clearly you have never been to S&M much. First of all, our mods do not ban people unless they have very good reason. Second of all, our mods do not use our users to insult, curse out, or flame . Thirdly, you do not read or post on our boards, and are thus talking completely out of your ass.

 

You also dropped my previous complaints. Please read them, respond to them, then make new ones. I am trying to keep this on track so it's easier for everyone. I will not be subject to mindless flame.

You guys don't get the fact that you aren't funny....

A: The number isn't random

B: Yes, they do.

C: I've been to the S&M forums. Just because I don't post there don't think I haven't been there. And since yuou keep saying I'm talking out my ass, then I'm going to respond by saying that quite frankly... I think a lot of your mods are dicks. And they simply get off on being mods, and using their "mod powers" which is rather pathetic. I've seen and read more than my fair share of S&M mods harassing people for no legitimate reason and more than just from the thread linked here. and it's the SAME people all the time.

No, I just wasn't able to read your DOUBLE POST. ;) I'll go back and have a looksee now. And if I feel like responding, I shall :) Have a nice day.

It's not necessary for you to mount an counter-offensive here, pbguy. No offensive is necessary at all...you could just link to last month's debate on the same topic...or the month before that.

 

I'm locking this, but I assure you that the debate will rage on in the staff forum.

 

Thanks for your patience, and thanks for your input.

Edit: counter-offensive
