    Yeesh, the stereotypes and generalizations flying around in here are making my head spin...

    At any rate, even though it makes me feel like an idiot every time, I've responded to every private message, even the ones that I don't know the answer to. It's pretty easy to type out an "I'm sorry, but I have no idea." Even when I get a "wow, ur stupid useless" in return.

    [goes back to listening to that loud rock music and those baggy clothes that whippersnappers wear nowadays]

    Bring on your pitchforks and torches. I eat them for breakfast.

    Anyways, I can't remember who posted it here, but I think it was Alusair... She said something that was identical to my stance posted in the mentioned thread. And maybe I'm more colorful with words when it comes to saying it, but whatever. It gets the point across.

    Most members don't want to have their skeletons brought out in front of everyone to see. They want them stuffed safely in their closet.

    While others don't mind at all. It's a personal matter. I understand wanting to protect the innocent (lord knows I am pverly-protective sometimes), sometimes a frank discussion can educate others who may have blinders on.

    This is a forum not an Interpol investigation.

    A lot of what goes on here is frivilous. It's good to see the police-state abolished though, even if that means having to surf through some murky waters.

    You almost sound like you're arguing with yourself, here.

    At any rate, I obviously can't make any promises about something like this happening. I was honestly just agreeing with the quote above, to begin with.

    And unfortunately, as you've pointed out, and as I've also agreed with, such a discussion almost seems impossible. I wouldn't mind giving it a shot, but it's not my call. I'm just a 'mall cop'.

    Nothing is impossible! It is all a matter how of bad you want it to happen.

    A frank discussion about the rules, how they are applied. No specific cases, no flames, etc. If you want to use a specific case as an example, remove the names.

    A guest moderator, who moderates that one forum. Other mods, would be treated the same as other users, in that one discussion only.

    If this is going to happen, All the current moderator have to agree to the terms.

    That's true. I think a discussion about rules and infractions could be a healthy thread to have for most forumgoers.

    Obviously I didn't close it, but I can understand the position of closing it. It was partially a discussion, but at the same time it was completely insulting to the person who it was posted about. Maybe it wasn't openly insulting, but it vaguely seemed like people were gloating about a person being banned.

    Maybe that's not why it was closed, but that's definitely not the type of post I'd want to condone. :P

    You've got a way with words, Kemp, you should start a 'good' discussion about it.

    I totally agree. However (and this is a question directed at everyone) is the General Discussion section the right venue?

    I agree this would be a good idea.

    Maybe the best way to handle that is have a 'guest' Moderator. A disinterested party who's sole function is to moderate that one discussion. Once the discussion is done, the guest moderator is dismissed

    I was just being a bit mean to a queeny, and mods have this idea they need to personally defend posters against softy insults by whacking the banhammer. It's bs..

    Anyways,

    Sukasai is right when he says it can be embarassing to the offender, I mean like it was like my 2nd day actually posting on these boards and I get banned after 2 infractions. A thread about that is not something I'd prefer...
