Yea and if a frogbagclock had wings, he wouldnt bump his ass when he hops.

Translation: You are free to think what you want, but just because you are a mod doesnt mean you are a role model. I personally dont want to sell out just because i am a moderator. Besides, i wish everyone did act like me, because then i wouldnt have to ban anyone. You need to read the rules more carefully and take note of the word "overly." You can insult people, we are just worried about the people whose sole purpose is to insult, and the "i'm going to rape your dead mother" type of insult.

Life isnt fair, neither is the BBS. Big deal.

so, if I just want to share a site with everybody else, as long as I'm not making money out of it, it's ok?

Sure, posting links is fine, just don't repeat post them over and over, as that would be considered SPAM or FLOODING. Some users have come on here and put links to sell things like tshirts and stuff that they profit from.

As a MOD, you have the power to change the image of NG's BBS. So as a MOD, you should project that image through yourself. Making people feel like fools, even if they ARE, is uncalled for and should not be permitted by someone who is supposed to be a role model to the other users. The way the mods behave should be the standard for all users, and if cruelty is part of that, then cruelty should be permitted for everyone."

That's really well expressed! And you've probably been on the recieving end before (like myself - but on another site) so i know where it's coming from.

To Tanners reply about "selling out to the job" ..i think BBS users will be the Judge of this system, and of how Mods implement it. If a Mod steps over some boundry, then Users will express it back in various forms, and the Mod shouldn't need to be defended by other Mods (beyond the Rules themselves) but should be held to listen to all objections from every user (be it club, crew, or individual) and rely on majority feelings in some cases, or even a weighted Admin Ruling on matters of "common revolt"...

Yea, i didnt even ban the "dude." It was Freakapotimus. But i'll take the fall.

TUS: Man, you make me know that i am a good mod because i'm not banning you out of spite.

Yes, i listen to every objection. Its just that all the objections are stupid. I'm "lock happy" because i locked a couple topics. Yea, thats a rational way to think. Of course im not going to bother thinking up a 'proffesional' reply to that. Sure my response is usually like one step above STFU, but its that step that makes all the difference.

Ok, i typed too much, and i think i missed the point. Oh well. This is in reponse to annoying saying i dont listen to objections about my moderating.

it is way to early to gauge who is a good mod and whatever.

wait a week and then complain.

Yea, at least i got a day without being called a facist. Stupor got about 5 minutes till he felt the hatred.

You should check the BC's topic first! I mean ... not for a lock (or I'll be ashamed for my whole life) but for a spam cleaning ... all these "reporting in" things are getting me mad!

I agree. Not about locking but the whole "reporting in" thingy is getting out of hand. One of the reasons for it is that the BC requires all users to post on the BBs to ensure that they're being active members. So people figure they can just post "reporting in" and boom, they filled the requirement. A lot of posts are just becoming that. I'm in no way saying the topic should be locked just that people need to cut down on that kinda thing.

I agree with those guidelines.

Someone there make some of their own guidelines for that specific topic (like the "reporting in" posts) then email a mod or Wade if things get out of hand. Or just email Wade about it. I've never been in that topic.

Wow, mods... what a big deal! You people are going ape-shit, like it's the end of the world! Have none of you ever been on another forum? Moderators are standard procedure, and what they're doing isn't "fascist" at all, they're actually rather lenient. So shut the fuck up and quit your bitching.

Actually every other forum I have been on has filters and stuff so you can't even say half the shit you can say here. And a couple of them you get banned for flames even if the person was being and idiot. Newgrounds is the first forum I have seen that lets you post this much hate and spam. Maybe thats why I like it...

Anyways for the fascist part here yeah go, {{{tanner liked it at least I think he did}}} MAUaHhAHAHAHAHha

Does that include "me too!" posts? They're fairly pointless, but not exactly harmful and/or immature.

I agree!
