Hootie can be his queen.
I'll be his mistress.

The fundemental issue here isn't whether or not people are obeying the terms of service, it's about how some people get away with breaking the rules while others can't. And no, Hootie, you weren't a moderator when UFpike came into the scene under his first screen name. OTW-I have no problem whether or not people get banned or have their posts deleted for breaking rules. But rules SHOULD apply to everyone. And you're wrong about it being public. All public boards that I have been on do have moderators, there are rules to abide by. Being a public message board does not mean a free for all, as you put it, but instead a board anyone can join. And hootie, the famous " or else" threat was not made in your fourm. It was made in chit chat, a forum of which you have no say so. By making a comment like that you easily imply to others that you have a say as to whether or not something negative ( ex: banning) can happen to anyone.

Blaine, thanks for not taking it personally. I'm not coming down on you, I just used you as an example. Some people just think it's ironic that you and UFpike fought all the time and he was banned after you became a moderator, some of us know about the votes that take place. I'm sure you know I'm not pro-ufpike, it's just easy for me to see how it could happen to anyone who crosses an elitest on GC.

interesting, but if this were the case then why would you start other, less controversial threads under a pseudonym as well?

Because I didn't feel like logging out. Besides, I'm not a post count whore.

Oh, I won't lie, I did fight with him all the time, but on my part, I pretty much kept it clean. I found him very annoying and very condescending to the female members of GC. The fact is that UF pike was on his way out far before I became a mod...far before. I do know that most people had no problem with that, at least those that I've talked to.

Well I'm sorry you feel that way but a) it's not a threat and b) people around here know me and know that I am not so anal to call for banning on an individual that is speaking their mind. As a matter of fact I'm not even calling for the banning of you.

I guess since you seem to have it all thought out, perhaps you could make some suggestions in a list form that will enlighten us as to what should be done?

For instance if there is a person on here who has BEEN on here for a very long time, and they say something that goes against guidelines should they be banned? I personally think that's a HUGE step. That's why threads get locked instead!

As my grandma always said, "if you don't like it, get the heck out!". Nobody is holding a gun to anyone's head and saying, "you must be a member of GC". If you don't like the way things are run, speak with John, and if that doesn't work, well then maybe GC isn't for you.

Man, don't folks have better things to do with their time!

Blaine is too busy being Lord of the Blings to be King of GC.

AXJules · #43 09-04-2003, 05:15 PM

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....

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.

There are also a few things I'd like to point out. I remember when UFpike was around and he always got into fights on GC with damasa, kddani (apparently he still fights with her), Hootie, KDatUTC and a few others. I find it ironic that he was banned as UFpikePC98 around the same time those who he fought with became moderators.

Funny, I thought I was chosen as a Moderator because I have been a good contributor of GC, been fair, and have not caused (huge

) problems on here. I didn't know that I was chosen because I used to "fight" with UF_Pike....if that were the credentials needed to be a Moderator then I would have been chosen sooner than I had been...
