I’m sure that 100% of us manage to have shit fits in real life and deal with them. Why can’t we act like twats here and not deal with the repercussions? When you lock/prune/flounder stuff what you are implicitly saying is:Go mental with the crayons, daddy will come along later and clean up. You are creating the messy discourse, because we all know that eventually daddy will come along and wipe up our dribble. How are we supposed to learn to play nice when you keep imposing on us your definition of nice?
Ten years of you being told to just let us get on with it and STILL the prevailing theme is that we can talk all we like but some bloke will be along at the end of the night to pick through our words and decide which ones they want to keep. Just sack the mods and leave the posters alone. Modding has stifled this site, NOT created it.
Now it would be nice if you could deal with it and report back on the outcome of discussing this feedback, rather than point out to me, individually, why you think I am a dick.
Yep, we need diversity of opinions and bollocks. Rainbow bollocks - the freedom to make knobs of ourselves, the freedom to champion our national cheeses whether we be surrender monkeys or not, the freedom to mock kindy teachers, the freedom to abuse Tommy.
I raise my glass my glass to yours. Clink.

Are you trolling me, superking? I’m flattered.

Your haircut or lack thereof is reason enough for that.

Jealousy. Jealousy. I call jealousy on my haircut. I know it looks shit, but still: JEALOUSY!!!
EDIT: And I have not been recommended for nearly a week. I keep turning and pecking at the food button but there are no validation pellets. Do you want me to show my plumage or what???
meantime, i am having a ball flying my toy helicopter around my living room , dying a thousand deaths, crashing all the time.
While i plot (plan) my return to the wan for a short visit, plus a side trip to JKT
for a whopper of a blind date
but yeah maybe they can have a room where people enter at their own risk , where there is no moderation, no holds barred. Anyone entering enters at their own risk to a bruised ego.
I probably will stay out of such a room tho. Maybe watch on the sidelines now and then.

You need to get down to a field and fly that thing straight and true at the nose of someone you hate. Modern Family style. And lose the weight, chunky. You dis-representing Asians, yo.
How about this suggestion: we stop crying like little girls about the moderators and try a pro-active, hands-on approach? Instead of whining, screeching and wailing, we APPLY TO GOOSE EGG TO BE MODERATORS OURSELVES?
Eureka!
See what fun it is to have your head pissed on daily. A whole barrel of laffs, that shit.

And join you merry bunch of fools? How about you moderators all quit at once. See what happens when the ‘professionals’ stop running the asylum.
I don’t know why you need to feel complete by judging your friends. There is nothing behind the looking glass, Alice, just some poisonous lead.
Moderating IS a thankless task because NOBODY wants you to do what you do. Internet behaviour has grown up, get with the times.

I could say something nasty, yet concisely bitingly accurate, to you, superking, but out of respect and love, I shall stay my hand.
You can trawl through my past all you like. Yesterday was yesterday. My previous is there for all to see. I was superking, tomhill, longchin, mikerophonechecker. Like Eric Cantona sort of says, “Keep my medals, revel in my past. Deal with me right now.” My past is for YOU to deal with. I have moved on.
Unfortunately, or for the most part fortunately, the past stays with you.
It seems the term “mods” gets tossed around quite freely.
If anyone has a problem with my moderation of the “Restaurants, Bars and Clubs” forum please let me know. In fact, post it here so I can respond to it and all of my fellow members can see it and I will consider changing. I think I am doing an ok job after taking over the impossible task of replacing sandman as mod. I felt more welcome when I was a bystander and he encouraged every post I made.

Since you haven’t posted in RBC since you left SX I’'ll forgive you. When is the BBQ?

True that the forum died after people knew they were not going to be challenged.
But we are learning to get over the ability to shit on strangers. Once we learn to adapt, malaise sets in. The internet is a macrocosm of life. People are already bored of facebook, soon twitter will die. They are not technological advances, they are facets of our imagination.
