Hierarchy on GC?

I'm not trying to start a fight, I just don't get the logic.

But remember back to UFPike and how long it took before he was banned? It didn't happen right away either.

People take this isht too seriously. I might write a bitchy post to someone, but it's over to me as soon as I log off GC, and I can have great IM convos with someone who I've gone toe to toe with on the boards. It's all good. Unless you're in my Friendster Cluster, on AIM, or LJ, I ain't stressin' ya when my computer's shut down.

I've tried that loophole to block a mod--it just ain't workin.

Unfortunately when I or others feel attacked or jumped upon for no reason at all - that I/they can see - especially more than once, it is darn difficult to 'be the be same people are involved. Re the instigator comment, it can certainly occur that some people do pick holes in posts where perhaps there weren?t any. REAL flame posts subtle or not can be seen a mile off, harmless on topic posts should not be treated with the same contempt.
_ Some members can be ignored (via a setting), some cannot. And they know this.

I think this is what some people are talking about...what you perceive as being jumped upon is the smart ass personality the majority of people have on this site. You might not understand it yet b/c you're relatively new.....not trying to be bitchy, just trying to come up with an explanation. Yeah its not ok to be a smart ass all the time, but its what most of us accept as the Chit Chat environment of GC. IMHO, I think it's ok, considering we're all adults. There was a time when we knew where the line was between being sarcastic and ATTACKING someone, but now I think we greatly disagree, probably due to the huge new population on the board.

I have seen situations, where someone either falls "out of favor" with the mods or who comes back (perhaps after banning) - that person might either be "pushed" with inflammatory comments by mods until s/he retaliates and that retaliation is held up as evidence of how terrible that member is. Personally I have noticed of late my threads and others, being jumped upon by certain members, regardless of which forum.

I was just about to agree with you there. I totally think that sometimes people who we know USED to be trouble are treated like animals in cages....we taunt them and pull their tails until we know they'll bite back, then we call them rabid....However, when you threw in the thing about you being jumped upon, you lost me. Obviously you're entitled to your opinion, but I'm not going to lie. In some ways I have kind of paid attention to your situation b/c your confrontation has to do with a good friend of mine, Damasa...and in some instances he was a dick to you, and in some I think you were being oversensitive (I know you're like where the hell does she get off??? but I'm going somewhere with this...) The face that you just threw your 'getting picked on' with banned people getting taunted kind of discredits your statement because they are two totally different things.

I know one of the times pike was banned, after it was a mass buildup, he said "fat rice eating mouth" to a girl that was asian [unquote]. Now that sort of remark is not called for. That is without question bannable. However, the subsequent screen-name of this person sverige **in and of itself ** did not say anything similar (rest assured if he had I would have had said something on principle ). Yet this screenname was banned for posts that were they made by other members might not have resulted in a banning?

Oy I SO don't want this to be a Sverige thread b/c I actually think we might be able to go somewhere with the rest of this....but...He came back, and while we were all yelling that it was him, people were like, give him a chance, he hasn't done anything yet. Maybe you had to be around before, but his random "trick and ho" stories gave him away in a second. He said the rice comment, and was out of here. I think that would have happened to any of us that behaved that way.


Anyway, for the record, I did read your whole post and I am not trying to be offensive or bitchy. I'm just wanting to keep the decent discussion going.

Not sure, but might have been about an exchange between me and a couple other posters -- which some Mod, in a very quick show of intelligence and good taste chose to delete.

Thankfully.

Then again, maybe not.

Confused am I as well.

LOL at the sock-puppet reference.

GP, I know we talked about the ignoring mods before, and I tried and was able to do it (this is before I was a mod) but another poster couldn't. We came to the conclusion that it was some sort of glitch in the GC system. If you want, you can try to ignore me and see if it works. I'll even PM you.

But I don't WANT to ignore you!

I also just tried and it said "Sorry, 33girl is a moderator/administrator, you are not allowed to ignore her, yada yada yada."

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

Yeah since you've probably met both of us.

And yes, I got a few random pms/ims about it - I know Brandon said it jokingly, but yikes!

I have no idea what the heck went on here today. I missed all the drama. People lying about their glos?! What's that about?

I still want to reign supreme as Her Serene Highness Empress Cream.

You didn't miss much. Just some "I know something you don't na na na na na" stuff. Like that Brady Bunch episode when Cindy was running around lisping, "I've got a secret....."

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.

Hayle Naw!!! LOL, that was funny! Some of yall that post in Chit Chat have got issues...

[Optimist Prime]

A greek chat hirearchy. That sounds like a caste system. I'm against it.

[justamom]

Isn't this interesting! I haven't a clue about the majority of issues
being referenced. However, I do have an opinion on a few of the topics.

I too have felt like I would like to change my ID at times, take off the gloves and say what I think less all the PC BS that at times, takes precedence over the thought.

I have seen points/arguments that are so clearly credible, yet because the poster is not "popular", masses of people swarm to flog the messenger.

One thing I can say is within my GLO on GC, we have disagreements on issues one day and in harmony the next. I do not hold a grudge because someone has a different way of looking at things. Lots of people on GC hold grudges. Yet some GLOs, "cliques" and at times, Mods will fly to support one of their own-right or wrong-to the point of a thread being edited/locked/deleated or an opinion becomes so twisted, it isn't even recognizable.

There are too many "cry babies" who run to the Mods because their feelings got a bo bo. I may post "I don't like cats", everyone who loves "cats", or love the PEOPLE who love "cats" will take that statement and by the time the thread is locked-I have been turned into a kitty killer with a bloody club in my hand and a deceased kitten's head hanging over my fireplace.

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???

I would bet my bottom dollar if there was a forum that was completely void of PCness and "No holds barred", it would dwarf the other forums in no time...

Many do take GC too seriously.

[Dionysus]

This is just a hot mess.

Ummm yeah I agree w/ those who say that some take GC a little too seriously. Did some of you graduate from Uptopia High and now attend University of Utopia? Some of you act like you have never came into contact with drama queens, clicques, boneheads, people who play favorites, or people who just simply disagree witho you. I'm talking about both "sides" here.

Your whole post was great! The cry baby comment was perfect! Oh yes, that little kitten head over your fireplace is cute!
