Well don't break the rules and you won't get banned. Pretty simple. It's supposed to be annoying; it wouldn't be effective if users enjoyed being banned.

If somebody commits theft or misdemeanor battery, then he or she will most likely be arrested and charged with the crime. It may suck for the defendant, but the defendant should have thought about what he/she did before the theft/battery occurred.

It's a similar concept to the BBS banning thing.

Thanks for being a true friend gobble

Yeah, I really don't understand why people hate the mods here. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the mods here are some of the most lenient I've ever come across on a forum of this size.

I've joined other forums where mods would post correcting your grammar and give you a warning if you continued. This wasn't for blatant errors, I got a warning for leaving a comma out of one of my posts even after I put extra effort into checking everything in all my others. I've been on other forums where I mods told me to stop swearing after I posted "OMG". I've been to forums where even slightly off topic posts were deleted from threads with no explanation.

On Newgrounds you can post shitty threads about masturbation twice a day and tell anyone you want to go fuck themselves and shove a dildo up their asshole. There's no argument whatsoever that the mods here are draconian.

Nope, something tells me being a mod isn't as bad as one might think.

No it's pretty bad.

Why, unless you're being sarcastic?

The mods have gotten so much better over the years. No doubt they're better now than they ever were. They don't act like authoritarian douchebags like BBR that ban people for no reason anymore.

Lmfao.

I hope he's still waiting by the time this site truly gives up.

Mods are overrated
We could use more cyber-riots

That's the last thing I expected to read here. Astonishing. I almost forgot that you're still alive and around.

You still owe me hundreds of dollars.

The mods used to behave very differently towards users in contrast to each other, but now we all seem to get banned for roughly the same stuff, regardless of the mod. Which is good, because now I don't get banned.

Bein' a moderato' is like bein' a poster, 'cept yo' git t'ban varmints yo' doesn't like thet much, an' make th' wo'ld a better place, fo' yo'.

You're really begging for it now, aren't you?

That is exactly why I personally dont like some of the moderation around here, sometimes the BBS needs cleaning and they stand back and watch it rot. And dont give me that "They have lives too, they cant always be on ng" argument when there are at least 20+ active mods here. (There are more mods on then active users) They all have time for their lives, and if they became a mod they should moderate. Im not saying this about every mod, just that when shit is going down there is always a mod on and they just seem to ignore it. It's really frustrating see that. I am saying this not to complain on all the mods here, but to voice my concern about the moderation.

I really want to see NG thrive, but something is a little unsettling about the moderation here.

Again, I like most of the mods personally. I dont hate them because some of them are not too good at their job, I dont hate them at all. I hate how its being handled.

Learn to quote lol

I miss times when moderators were men, not child tutors who would publically reprehend users for breaking selective rules that piss them off the most, and then explaining themselves to others in neverending post flow.

Yeah dawg.

He doesn't know we all call each other homophobic, racist dumb shit all the time, and laugh our fucking asses off when we do it. I don't know why it's funny, but errybody else is laughing lol cos we're #incredibly #edgy. Newcomers would prob think we're chucking shit around and won't stay for long, but who cares about them lol #2012usersrule

Because we are in a clique it makes all this (otherwise unacceptable) behaviour ok.
And he thinks he's RIGHT? wut a chump 卐

It's like I said in one of the other threads on here: if you see a post breaking the rules, or even if you think it might be breaking the rules, PM it to me and I'll take care of it, or if you don't like me, and would prefer not talking to me, you can PM it to a different moderator; I'm sure they won't mind.

Its not just that. There have been threads made that clearly violate the rules and mods even post in them.
So in your example of how we commoners call the police when we see something wrong, well what if the police are disobeying the law too? Who do we call then? This is what Im talking about, it happens a lot.
There are many examples of this, and I havent seen you do it because I didnt know you were a mod right up until you quoted me but I have seen others do it.
