Are You Greek

Yes I have met ppl on this site that I do consider friends. No matter what, everyone sees me as the same. As those that have met me, I can be nice in person, but I can be up front and speak my mind as well, which is what I tend to do on Greek Chat.

You say that mods should act seriously? All the time? Everyday? They shouldn't be allowed to comment on certain things or have a good laugh here or there because they are supposed to be serious? That's bs. That's like saying a chapter president should be serious and not have fun. I don't buy it. I do speak my mind and I always will. If I don't make it onto your list of "nice mods" I can accept that, I really can. I'm really not that bad of a guy and I think most people on here know that, if all don't I'm sorry but I can't change that, nor do I want to. I don't wish to be liked by all, that would be living a fantasy.

As for your nice mods, yes, they are a nice bunch, I think all mods are nice. But to say that none of them have flown off the handle is kind of funny? OTW used to stick it to me a lot before I became a mod :)

On top of it, this is all your opinion of what a mod should be, John has his opinion, and the mods have theirs.

No, I'm not singeling you out Blaine. But I do think that if you are a mod that you should take into consideration you aren't only representing yourself but also your fellow mods. It's the same as representing your chapter. And the chapter presidents that I have met are usually are really straight edged. They don't do some of the stupid stuff other members do because they know that they, above anyone else, represent their chapter more than anyone. I know your not a bad guy, but what about those who don't know you and see you going on and on like you did with decadence? Calling things like you see them isn't a bad thing, but UFpike did the same thing. I'm not comparing you to UFpike or any other trouble maker because you don't strike me personally as a trouble maker. But, sometimes it's better to hold your tongue rather than speaking your mind. If everyone spoke their mind on here there would be more people banned or more posts delted than what there currently are. That in turn brings me back to what I stated before, some people can speak their mind within a certain limit and not suffer the consequences that others are dealt.

ZTAngel I agree with much you've said....but I think it's important to recognize that this thread isn't an "us" vs. mods thing....i mean, part of it is to some people, but there's a whole other problem going on as far as respect and people not agreeing with the GC rules.

Let's face it, any time there are rules, someone is going to disagree or be pissed off b/c they're not how they would like it to be.

The issue I brought up was just the honesty thing....how can we expect to get along and have a working lil "community" or whatever the hell you want to call it, when there's so much bullshit and lies being spread? And some of that carries over into being against certain mods, b/c while they are more than entitled to express their opinion, get angry, be sarcastic/funny, in other words, human , they shouldn't be threatening banning and lying about who they are. That isn't fair.

But good sir, I do hold my tongue, I dont' always "speak my mind" in every instance. For the most part I do hold myself to a higher standard and I have been the person to put a stop to a quarrel a few times. I often post pretty decent topics and I have some pretty nice replies I think. That doesn't mean that I should act accordingly every second of my day.

Yes pike did speak his mind, he liked to call womein "bitches and tricks and the like."
I never have. I don't go around calling people 'Fu#*ing this and Fu#*ing that." and to be honest, the whole thing with decadence, I posted a picture, nothing more. I thought it was funny because to be honest he was getting annoying. He decided to call me an asshole, well, I didn't hold my tonuge, but I didn't continue to call him a "fu#8 this or fu#8 that."

Not everyone is going to be satisifed with GC. Some people like it the way it is and some don't. We can't make everyone happy.


And please don't compare me to UF Pike again, i'm nothing like he is/was.

Some people get banned and have posts deleted because they say things that shouldn't have been said. I know one of the times pike was banned, after it was a mass bulidup, he said "fat rice eating mouth" to a girl that was asian. Not called for.

Even some of the mods you put on your nice list have lashed out from time to time.

I know you're a nice mod, ZTAngel. The mods on the so called "nice" list were just the ones off of the top of my head. Yet, you don't see them lashing out anymore. I think some mods as well as regular GC users, who in the past lashed out at people, have come to realize a few things that others have not and have since cleaned up their act.



I'm not posting anything else about moderators from here on out. The last thing I want is to be bashing the leaders of this site. The comments on the moderators were just a few things I had on my chest and I wanted to dump it all off. I know it sounds like I'm whining, but I feel like users need to know what some people are seeing these days in this forum. That is all.

Hootie 09-04-2003 07:24 PM

Cashmoney,

I think it's great that you are expressing your opinions and bring stuff to our attention. But if they are so serious then I suggest talking with the person directly, or even John. Otherwise people don't know who you're referring to specifically and then there is speculation and drama.

I'm sorry if I upset you. End of discussion on my part.

Last comment-
Well I'm sorry that I don't act in accordance to your beliefs, but I can't change the way you feel, I don't know if I really want to. But I know that this is your opinon that you are expressing and it's now how GC as a whole feels.

To be honest, I'd consider things had I had the chance to know who you really are, but you couldn't even do that for us so I really can't take what you say with much weight.

Ok ok, let's all put aside the fact that cashmoney's using a pseudonym for two secs....I actually think their post brought up a couple good points.
This is kind of a random post with two opposite sides, so bear with me....:rolleyes:

Personally, I think there are people who take GC way too seriously. Yes, it's a public board, you have the right not to be flamed when you post your opinion, etc. But the converse of this is that is is a PUBLIC board. On the INTERNET. Everyone else on here has the right to make comments, however smart ass they may be. Don't get me wrong, when someone's posted a thread about being overweight or something its out of line to make fun of them. But that's human nature, and whether it be here or in "real life" some people are going to have less class than others. Your 'right not to be flamed' is not a GC right, but a societal one...Its not ok to do, but where do you draw the line??? I guess my irritation lies in those who are way too sensitive for their own good. As of late I feel like I can't say certain things, because someone will whine about it not being fair or not PC.

In addition, I think we have some fabulous mods on the boards. Even in the face of some of the trashiest assholes on the board, they have held their head up and spoken respectably, most importantly adhering to GC policies. There are many of you who are great examples of class, and I really respect you.
However, I find it incredibly ironic that we ban people who are only on the board to cause trouble, yet 2 mods on this board (that I know of) lie about their names, ages, GREEK AFFILIATION and an array of other things, but we're just delighted to have them here. If they were my brother or sister I would be outraged. I've talked about this before, it is this double standard that exists on GC. Except in most ppl's minds its the "popular and mods" vs. those who don't post that much....and in mine its the mods who pm people and threaten to ban them (which they cannot do), vs. everyone else. Its gotten to the point where some people know what's going on and don't do anything, I say something and look like an idiot or an instigator, new people come on and think the place is hostile, it really just makes you not care and not want to post.

Sorry if this seems out of line, just my lengthy 2.5 cents.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

I love how we have threads on GC saying that we don't like nonmembers wearing our letters or people who have deactivated. But it's ok for somebody on GC who you don't even know in real life most of the time, to take the letters that you cherish and call them their own? Cool. Real cool.

And no Kath and I are NOT the same person. She wishes she was as cool as I am. :cool: By the way I am with you 100% on blocking that certain mod. ;)

AXJules 09-04-2003 07:33 PM

I luv Kath, and I luv Kiki, but they are two separate girly crushes for me, lol. That is verifiable.


(Was that actually a rumor??? GHEY.)
