New Rule: New Rules Must Be Made Up Instantly, With Feelings

[Binger]

New Rule: All new rules must be made as a spontaneous reaction by a moderator, with the upmost respect for his/her/their own feelings.

[Dr. Shades]

Please keep in mind that moderators are only moderators when typing in red text. They're considered to be just like any other user when typing in black text.

Yes. I understand that. Everyone understands that.

New Rule: Moderators must obnoxiously moderate threads where they are also posting in black ink.

The issue is not that moderators post in black ink. Nor is it that they post. The issue is that one moderator in particular moderates threads like a horse's ass, particularly after he participates in the threads. And that is fine, just be careful what you wish for when you compromise the foundational standards of what you expected from volunteer moderators.

If that is how the threads are going to be moderated, then you will get participation under those conditions. Seems pretty simple to me.

[Dr. Shades]

Please tell me your complaint(s) about the way he moderates or has moderated. If you can provide specific examples for me, that'll help, too.

Done. Details in the PM.

You're not a good friend, Binger. It's one thing to troll Shades' board under the pretense of a social justice for conservatives warrior, it's another to pressure him in PMs after buying him dinner, to go against his conscious just to win a battle with the moderators here that you don't care about in the long run. If you got what you claim you want, you'd quit posting here.

A-Mike is different. He was the hyperactive kid in school always getting into trouble and you didn't know if he was going to make it in life or not. He, you know, shot people with spitballs in class and rolled down his car windows while listening to loud music, thinking people couldn't handle his intensity. Yes, he's trolling, but at the same time nothing he posts isn't at some level sincere, because he's fighting for the culture and way of life that he's comfortable with. You, on the other hand, don't believe in 3/4s of the crap that you post here, you're 100% only trying to get under the skin of people you don't like with near zero sincerity regarding any of the positions you take. But then, you really do expect a guy you bought dinner for and call your friend, to use his authority to prevent moderators from preventing you from just crapping all over his board in 1000s of rando unhinged rants that would effectively run off all the long-time participants as at some point it's impossible to argue or discuss anything because there's just too much noise.

You're not a good friend, and whatever horribly low self-esteem you have has been well earned. Do us all a favor and go buy yourself a beer.

Are you sad that I did not buy you dinner and beer? It seems like it.

New Rule: People can post when they are sad, including Gadianton.

Or two. Maybe some wings. Take your time.

Solid assessment, Gad, thanks.

… go buy yourself a beer.

I have the feeling that’s the only consistent thing he does do in his life.

There is something uniquely pathetic about some old man whining endlessly about the volunteer moderating on a small, Mormon themed message board while being the most active poster.
