I needed a good laugh today. I agree with what others have said. If you have problems with a mod or anyone else pm John. He is the owner / admin. He makes the calls and choosed ban who he feels he needs to. It's his right since he owns it. Mods may give their opinon to John if someone should be banned but he has to decided by what he see's throught what people say and the actual post that bothered people.

Seriously cashmoney,

if you were someone who has been on here since the ufpike incident went down, don't you think your opinion would carry more weight with us if you used your original name?

I mean, if i was going to post something controversial that i just wanted people to blow off, i'd create the screenname StewieGriffin and post about how i hate hippie liberals and Victory will be Mine.

However, if i had a serious issue with something being done on GC, you can bet your ass i'd use the screenname that i've used for the past year, the one that other GC's have gotten to know me and my personality by. Like it or not, in any group the established members carry more weight than the new ones.

IMO, the reason why established members can get away with more is because they've posted for awhile and the rest of us know that they're here for good as well as bad. They may have their bad days, or have the issues that make them a little nuts, but for the most part, day in and day out, they are positive contributing members to this site. Newbies that get on GC and immediately start talking trash don't bring any positive things to GC in my opinion. They're just like the annoying people in your chapter who are too lazy to contribute but enjoy sitting in the back row spouting insults and starting trash.

Lastly,

props to champ for the 'lord of the blings' pic, that was freakin hilarious.

This isn't an attack so don't take it as such. But who or what gives you the authority to say what is right or wrong on this site? John runs the site, John pays for the site, so to sum, John says what does and does not go. Since John does pay for this site, and I don't see any of us paying a membership fee, I think he is entitled to handle the site in a manner in which he sees fit.

I don't much agree in banning people, even those that I do not care for. UF pike was the ultimate exception. Just the way he talked and acted toward some of the female members should have had him banned. But he was given chances, and still kept at it. That is how he was banned in the end. Only to come back again, still given more chances and when those were gone, he was banned again. ONLY to come back a third time, I think we see the pattern here.


In all, John makes the final decision in everything.

Good point, Blaine. I'm not telling people whats right and whats wrong. The rules are simple and clear cut. I just think there's a weak stance behind the rules of the site. If some rules apply to some people but not to others, then maybe the terms of agreement should be changed and reworded to appropriately fit the acceptable code of conduct on GC. It doesn't make sense to say one thing but mean another, right? I think the current rules are just a cop out and a way of justification for getting rid of people or deleting certain members posts and that if you get in good with certain crowds on GC you have somewhat of a free for all to a certain extent. And it sucks. It's not fair. ZetaAce has posted the code of contact and rules of the site far more than I can remember, time and time again I see how many of people here ( no names) dodge repremandation or don't have anything said to them publicly. I kinda get the feeling that some people think it's about UFpike-IMthechamp-theV's or other previous trouble makers, but it's not. It's about the image we portray to non-regulars, lurkers and visitors to the site. What does that say about us? In this thread itself I meant to actually talk about this issue seriously. Still there are many who are far from any serious conversation in their replies, moderators included. And since a lot of mods are the ones responding in this thread I guess I could take this time to throw in my .02 cents on how some moderators make the others look bad.

Mods are supposed to be serious, they are on a different level from the regular GC user. With greater power comes a different level of responsiblity and thus a different level of appropriate behavior is called into play. You don't see Zeta Ace, IowaHawkeye, bucutie, Amycat, most recently James, OTW and a few others pulling some of the stuff that other no-named mods pull. Why, may you ask? Because they understand that people on the site actually look to them for many different things and in the process take them seriously. Again, it's not just some mods who get away with a lot of stuff but it is also quite a few regular users. All I'm saying is that a lot of crapp on the chit-chat forum that has been going on is making the rest of GC look bad and since a lot of you know each other and have actually met one another, do you not care what others think of you? Sure you can say it's just the internet but many people look at this as real life, I can name a few users and mods who have said publicly that GC and/or certain people on this site have affected their life or the life of their friends. At the same time some of those people and/or mods are the very reason for this thread. Each and every one of us is apart of this site, all I'm hoping for is that some people clean up their act a little bit and everyone be treated the same.

I'm PM'ing you...

See, more and more I really feel like you are talking about me, if you are, just say it. Yes, I have met ppl on this site that have affected me. 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.

cashmoney, pm heading your way

Hey, I'm a nice mod!

See, we mods are just like GCers. We get angry and offended by what others post. Like the GCers, we think a lot of posters are jerks, troublemakers, etc. But, since we are mods, *most of us* hold ourselves to higher standard and try not to get involved. Sometimes, though, it's hard not to. When someone is attacking you personally or someone says something that really hits home, it's hard not to get emotions involved. I don't think there's a single mod out there who's not guilty of lashing out at another member. Even some of the mods you put on your nice list have lashed out from time to time.
It's not to say that it's right of us. It's just hard to take a backseat sometimes when you feel that a flame is directed at you personally.
