good points there, sixxx...

haha. when i read "but who are all the mods?" parts, I read it like Morpheus from The Matrix goes "but....what is real?"

haha.

er. yeah.

Good points. It ~is~ getting a tad elitist and conservative around here,though. What is interesting to note is that while these bashing mods are out doing their thing, Synikul has kept his racial views quite reserved from what I have gathered. I might not agree with racial views at all, but you mods that act in this bashing manner might take note of how mature he is being.

Then again, Windigo openly hates almost everyone and he's an Admin, so you know what? Who gives a fuck? Do any of you really feel overwhelmingly controlled by the mods around here? I don't. I'm not saying I don't have criticism to pass out, (who doesn't?) but for the most part, the forum runs smoothly and it's pretty "real" around here. People are bitchy and whiny and ugly and stupid all over the place. Even mods.

The only time I was (rightly) told to shut my trap was on the Serious Discussion board when I flamed this idiot about certain views he had. His idiocy got on my nerves, but it might have been a deep rooted belief of his and I crossed that line of letting him believe what he wanted to believe. So, it was cool with me to be warned. *shrugs*

But in cases like Tijuana Bandit, I think it's a failure of all the mods (who all have to know that situation) and fail to do anything about it. That's tolerating harassment, which is actually something where mods SHOULD BE useful, not playing power nazi.
