I have been on two threads that have been locked...all within a span of a few weeks. WOW, AM I turning into a controversial person??? Kind of neat! LOL! I will not second guess the locking, but I didn't see the need at that point. Yet, I wasn't the one bombarded with complaints.

WHY DO SO MANY FEEL A NEED TO RUN AND "TATTLE" TO A MOD OVER EVERY LITTLE THING???

Agreed.

I know I have tended to the more controversial threads in the past, but I can honestly say that I've never run to the mods about what was said for anything. If I disagree I am far more likely to just SPEAK UP about it.

And I would do it with my own name too, no hiding because I might not say the nice or popular thing.

Whoever started this thread- you are such a wimp. It's hard to take anything you say seriously because you're not even willing to admit who you are.

ETA: I would be far more interested in a hierarchy thread that addressed the fact that there are clearly two GC's, a black one and a white one. Not that I believe that it will change (nor do I want it to change- black GC is my family), but it seems like people don't talk about it.

What about the Asians? Damn it, we're always ignored.

Brown people tend to go with whatever Panhel they're a part of- like Starang is on our boards, but most of the Asians are in NPC orgs and thus stay on the other side.

Firstly in reference to this "fight". Just so you know, to give you the background - I bumped the GreekChat Crush thread with a post, my post contained something like "It's all about page 54". That remark was a gently humorous play on page 66 of that aforementioned thread which had dialog ending with "It's all about page 66 baby!" or similar. Thus, me saying "[no!] it's page 54 baby" - (page 54 being my own on-topic post for that thread) was just a jokey reference to another post. All a throwaway comment that was scarcely worth talking about. Sadly this was taken a particular way or something was read into it that was lost on me. Sadder still some people chose to "applaud" the animosity... fortunately those later people were members I could use the Ignore feature on. (As an aside I wouldn’t say it was just a picture, it was a comment made by a picture). This particular exchange was, however, just another occurrence of the type of thing you describe, cashmoney. And I realise this hierarchy thread was created about a broad issue not a thread.

In reference to my picture, it was a joke, you chose to take it as more than that, that wasn't my fault in the least. But I'm glad you did because honestly you were getting annoying with your "oh page 54 posts." You made two in a row (one which you later deleted) and I find it annoying when people tend to "fish for attention."

My picture said "this is the room of people who care." Nothing more, but you chose to say to me "piss off asshole" which didn't help anything. If you were to lighten up a little bit you might see the bigger picture?

For the most part, they do a good job of trying to keep things under control without a lot of tools with which to work.

And, I know that there has been (probably is) some unpleasantness even within their ranks.

Like any system I can think of, this one isn't perfect. But would anarchy be better? Well, maybe sometimes -- but not all the time.

I had a recent instance (just last night, in fact) where a mod was so on top of things that he/she (won't name names) deleted some posts that were really inappropriate -- and my responses to them which might not have been appropriate either. The moderator wrote to me suggesting I take further action -- which I chose not to do because I wasn't all that happy about the way I reacted to the situation. (Although, in retrospect, I'm not sure anything would have changed my mind)

The moderators actions are subjective. I've said before, that all things considered, I think they do a pretty good job.

As to a hierarchy on GC, maybe that's true. There are certainly cliques. So how is that different from the rest of life? Some people simply get along better with certain others.

It ain't perfect, but it also isn't the end of the world.

I think this is what SensuretI was indirectly trying to get people to talk about in his thread "I don't understand..."

INTERSTING TOPIC. Now that it is straightforward, are there any takers?

btw, I could care less about a GC hierarchy, cliques, people who don't like me, etc. I post what I want when I want and I won't hold my tongue. That being said, I DO respect the rules (any mature adult realizes that life has RULES and if you want to participate in something you kinda have to follow them...OR ELSE). I TRY not to knowingly insult members of GC (although I am human and sometimes my temper gets the best of me), but I also will stand my ground on things I feel strongly about.

Bottom line: Who really obsesses about a "GC Hierarchy"? cashmoney, I would post under another name too, because seriously? That is pretty lame. I would really hope you have more pressing matters in your life than this.

I don't see anything wrong with a "white GC" and a "black GC." I still post on both, although I don't post as often on "black GC." I will tell you that I enjoy the bglo boards a lot more. I think those mods do a great job and the topics pretty much stay in line.

Anyway, Libra, I so don't like you!! Twice.....

You know, I do agree. There isn't anything inherently "wrong" with having a somewhat segregated GC. Like Steeltrap said on another forum, that is LIFE. I guess it is just interesting to note that it exists. Don't ask why, lol.

P.S. Hate me, hater!

You know, Cream, I've had NYC on the brain lately. Do you by any chance live or work near an Ollie's Noodle Shop? Maybe you could FedEx me some chicken mei fun soup.

The GC Bunch, lol!

I never even heard of Ollie's Noodle shop until now. I looked it up on anywho, and it's not near me. I am close to Ray Bari's so if you ever need a slice... Can you really Fed Ex food? I have never done it.

I like GC, and I learn something from many people who are regular posters here. I don't understand putting energy into being angry. It's a message board for goodness sake.
