Yes, you are definitely a prisoner here. There is no escape.

make your time.

Sounds like an POwer trip to me.

NeWays..I want a real MOD to point out where I called another MEMBER of this forum an insulting "derogatory" name??

Just because I cant PROVE my educated guess does not mean I cant state my opinion..
OH wait...LIKe Everyone on here sees Eye to Eye.

Whatever, If Im not gonna be able to express my opinion then I dont wanna be part of this forum anyhow.

Just wanted to throw this out there.

Im gonna go kill myself now,
CArry on.

You got a warning because in a mods opinion you intentionally insulted another member by saying their tattoo was retarded.
Before you accuse me of going on a power trip, I wasn't the mod that gave you the infraction.
Although it was well deserved.
Best advice I can give you is, if you don't have anything nice to say to a member...keep your opinions to yourself.
If you continue to be argumentative you'll just end up getting another.

Well I'm a "real Mod" just the same as Pete is, so I'll answer your question.

I wasn't there, but just from what I'm seeing here I'd give my friends and family this same advice. You're new, and you're not terribly deferential. Theres nothing says that you have to be necessarily, but a good tip for life is thinking two steps ahead.

For being mildly cordial you'd be on the receiving end of a wealth of community, musical knowledge, and general good humor (not the ice cream). Like most things in life, Musicbanter is offering something - in this case experience. And we generally like to keep company with people who don't piss us off. Many of us are at the very least over 21 and we come here because we choose to. The mods are in place to keep members that improve the site. We keep them by removing ones we hate.

If you want to stay, I don't mind going to bat for you, but understand we're not some "skaterz vs. preps" chat room (sorry I had AOL when I was 13) and we're here for some semblence of community. We like it to preserve some social propriety.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

I hate having to post the same thing twice but apparently once wasn't enough.

Now I'm going to show you how you violated the first rule of the forum.

Well there's our rude ,insulting post, and personal attack. There was absolutely nothing to warrant that kind of comment, even if you truly believe that they are fake, insults like that are not acceptable on this forum or anywhere.

There's your inflammatory post that can also constitute as trolling at this point. You're showing no respect to any other poster, even ones that already called you out on your word choice, you're also making accusations that are unfounded and have no proof. Nobody reported your post, I monitored the thread and gave out the infraction as I saw fit, I doubt any Mod or member would argue with my decision.

ok thanks for your input.
Sorry for the misunderstanding I wasnt reffering to you in my POWER TRIP comment.

hmm....Well thats good to know.
But I do and have noticed "clique" ish behaviour from SOME MODS and certain members. But since IM still "new" I guess what I say really doesnt matter anyhow.
If im suppose to act all "fake" and kiss A$$ to get people to approve of my online -"personality" well then Id rather just say "**** it to the bucket"

my two cents

Real shit, I do still think this place has overbearing moderation, and I think that it gives the site a really young feel, like the majority of posters are preteen. It's like having parents or teachers, which doesn't feel right on the internet. But when all is said and done, I've talked a pretty good amount of shit to a few different mods, and never been shy about voicing my opinion, and I'm still here. It shows me that the heads that clean up this place are pretty fair, and probably less immature than me since I would've banned myself by now. So people that get banned probably deserve it. It's just the little warnings that annoy me.

Yep, hate you. I guess you should say "**** it to the bucket"

lol.

Well you'll notice from our new friends post that they asked her not to call other people "retarded." Its not a facist dictum.

And when sites are unmoderated they turn into spam havens who have one-day posters that say things like ...

"i like yeah yeah yeahs karen o is so awesome. i like the last album wut about u"

And you've seen these before. Before any real mod decision we labor over it, with at least 4 people putting in their thoughts. No one here is swinging the ban hammer like its cool.

yeah i dont think my posts constitute a BAN as of now. Look at my posts when I first started..LOL I would have banned myself back then. I mean under a hundred posts arent that much to begin with, but how am I suppose to want to keep coming in here if im gonna get all these "uppity" "patronizing" bull$hit attitudes from people. Especially females. They are so sensative.PEople need to have thick skin.
I feel you on this part of your post.

I do still think this place has overbearing moderation, and I think that it gives the site a really young feel, like the majority of posters are preteen

Over all Its an ok Forum with aight people,Ive seen worse.

Yeah, that's legit and kind of what I was driving at. This site is better without anyone who manages to get themselves banned, because anyone who gets banned probably deserve it.

:( your so mean , lol

Everyone's allowed a certain degree of leniency in this site, so the mods I feel do a pretty good job. Or else there would be a bunch of members with the userame fksjbgvoiusbv1234 posting their shit site all the over the place.

The mods have absolutely no control over censoring of curse words. Our swear filter gets us more Google hits and thus attracts more members, therefore it isn't going anywhere.

i think if someone gets a temp-ban they should be allowed to speak up, maybe in a specialized (*meaning that temporarily-banned members can post in this only) thread. i think mirrorball did but he had to make a false account, but right after posting his thoughts towards his banning with the false account, he stopped using it.

you complain like everyone here should hang on your every word. what have you posted worth reading in the almost full year you've been a member?

If this as nice and interesting as you get, then maybe you should F off and go hang out with the mature older people you obviously would fit in with so much.

Oh snap, shits gettin heated early in the morn!

I dint even realize its going to be a year.
EXCUSE me? Who are you to judge what posts any individual in this forum is worth reading? I mean really. What are your credentials?Do I have to have a certain IQ? A certain SKin colour, a certain Language? YOu might as well specify everything next.
If you dont like a certain post you ignore the poster or skim them past next time around.I do that all the time.:laughing:
It was a Rant. If your gonna interpret my post as me "asking every person in this forum to hang on my every word" then thats your problem.It doesnt make a difference to me. I was expressing my views and thoughts at that moment.

one of the many sensitive females I talked about.
LOL this is why i dont like e socializing with females.
They get all territorial and intimidated or judgmental.
Theres two or three that I can say i genuinly RESPECT, just by reading their posts.

some of you people think posting equals being part of the forum community.
There can be involvment by just reading posts and Threads.



:p:

What the hell just happened

But it's OK for you to be like that?

The exact thing I was just thinking. I'm thinking something got blown way out of proportion... :)

LOL! I dont think Ive ever backed out on anything anyone has called me out on.
I usually post what I think or retort back with my opinion.
If I realize down the road I ****ed up, then Ill own up to it.
Im not going to try to kiss ass or BE EXTRA NICE to fit in. Thats just not who I am.
I rather read the threads than post anyways. I usually stay in the lounge area.

What happened was the same as what usually happens.

Someone goes into a thread to get a instant reaction by trolling it, and when something is done about it they start screaming persecution & bias.

Pretty simple really

I think you're missing the point of the kissing ass and being nice thing, nobody asked you to kiss ass or be nice, it was simply a case of "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" and I'd recommend treating people in a manner that you would like to be treated, being nice is a two way street you know.

whats TRolling?

LOL , kayleigh.

You don't have to be nice not to be abusive or call people names.

Thats all we ask of people.

Look, I stated that girls tatt was retarted. NOT HER> how many times do i have to repeat that?
I already apologized to Paloma and stated on the thread I was sorry for the ruccus i caused.
But when theres people on here trying to be all UPPITY and act like IM beneath them , well your gonna get a peice of my mIND and mouth.I think everyone does that at one point or other. YOU DONT have to insult people to be MEAN.
theres very suttle ways of doing it, and ive seen it on here first hand.

NO. It wasn't.
Questioning someones "worthyness" is blowing **** out of proportion.
Its in the same league with all the rest of the stuff i mentioned.

I never came in here to argue with you? So why the cheek? And yes, it was blown out of proportion. Any member who has been reading the "arguement" could tell you that.

I find it hard to take angry people seriously when half of their letters are capitalized and words misspelled.

Hey, I warned people about this Likuidcoka person weeks ago, and nobody listened.

:( I barely logged on like this week since like forever,lol

LOOK if anyone is gonna bann me, I want it to be JackHammer.
I think hes HOT

:wave:

Of course, inane comments like these were what really pissed me off, but anyway...

I had to look Inane UP!
THanks.
I have added a new word to my limited vocabulary.

A warning was sent out yesterday regarding this matter now can we let it lie? If anyone feels strongly enough about any action the mods have given recently then please PM me. If I see the word 'Retard' in any shape or form in this thread again then I will lose my rag and that goes for any more arguments in here.

Guys, this wouldn't have been tolerated from even more established members than her... (not saying much, I know, but that fact alone speaks a point)

I don't know why there's any debate here. You guys explained what she did and how it was wrong... now you're equally justified to make ammo out of the backlash. I've seen people let go for less. Don't sit here and argue with her.
Do something about it.
You're doing nothing but encouraging her.

No. The thread has been quite for some time and should remain so. The mods said what was wrong privately and it seems quite now even after people have been online for over an hour after my post. That says something to me. Anything after this WILL be dealt with so leave it alone.

I say just swing the banhammer. She said it turns her on;)

See, Lee? It's fate. Plain and simple.

Kidding... ish...
Just wanted to say I know you guys do a lot of grunt work behind the curtain... But at least make a good show in front of it, eh papi?
