So...lately you have been trying to make the BBS more intelligent...
But..BE HONEST... if a level 2 user, with no experience, no flash, and haven't done anything barely known in NG, have made this thread , I'm sure it would have been locked, either poster-banned. Just an example, that thread is funny, but when someone else, with no popularity, makes up something like that, it goes simply ignored, flamed, or harrashed.
Treating users with equality IS DIFFICULT. Since I got my 1000th post, mods have ignored some bans, or maybe made them shorter... or maybe I was more careful, I don't know, but I'm pretty sure I skipped a couple of bans already, maybe more.
It's a website, for teenagers. Don't expect much maturity... but from NONE of the users. We can release our funny, witty, stupid, sick side here, let it be. With some rules, but let it be.
About sucking-up: Oh well, this is pretty hard. I will be honest, I don't really like you (I'm talking about Wade, k?). I know, I know... I have been only here since 2005, but still.... Your epic "shove it up your asses" thread, for example, was just too harsh. People are unexperienced, don't know a shit about NG, they're trying to learn, don't be so harsh with them...they're asking for help to you, the "NG police commander", if you want you to call like that, I mean, that guy who marks movies, and beat the crap out of baddies. I have commited a couple of noob mistakes talking with you Wade, like for example with that guy who sent once and once again movies, then swapped them for porn. Just didn't think well at that moment, and then I felt too ashamed, and humillated, to PM you again. I think that's how a lot of people feel, ashamed, and terrified of your mighty ban stick, that's what cause so much sucking-up from users who really don't know anything about the site in general (you must have your own army of serious fans, however), and therefore causes so much harrashing against mod/admin asslickers. It's just a political reaction, don't be so suprised, and angry about that.
