Calling out the mods.

[Subotan]

Well, I'm not Lemur but I too have noticed that EB tavern members have behaved like Lemur says but I sure as limbo couldn't give an example or find a post, yet i know it happened. And i know that people actually noticed that "the EB tavern guys are invading the Frontroom" so you people must have done something different to get that amount of attention. That's not our or the mods' fault, you're the ones who drew that attention onto yourselves.

The frontroom? I rarely went there, and when I did, the only other regular patron I saw there was Meth, and possibly Azathoth. Maybe there was some confusion as to actually was an EB Tavern Patron.

If you're trying to say the mods are looking for some people to oppress now and then, then let me pull a Tribesman here:

I personally don't think that. I think that 95% of the time, they do a great job, and that moderation of that quality was common across other forums. The other 5% though, is excessive.

How many are there of you that you now constitute a "substantial proportion" of Org membership?

Since when has "substantial proportion" meant majority? I did not write majority, nor did I intend to write majority. It is quite obvious that both of those are true.

I think that the substantial proportion of the Org membership has zero problems following Org policies.

As do I, the vast majority of the time. You seem to have us confused with trolls.

Why are you special?

Didn't I already tell you to stop being condescending? Yeah, I thought so. It's getting a bit annoying now having to respond to statements which have no discernible meaning or content.

My preferred form of self-applied moderation is the killfile. Bozos belong to the bozo bin, and vBulletin's Ignore function doesn't come close to satisfying the salient feature of the killfile - entirely hiding the existence of internet idiots so the signal to noise ratio is kept reasonable. Score files are even better, as one can cover whole ranges using wildcards.

So basically, Kill it with Fire. So what defines a bozo?

Oh btw, no-one has responded to my question yet. I'll post it again, so you don't have to scroll up.

What is wrong, with having a voluntary, hidden section of the org where the following existed

I just want a place where I talk with my Tavern friends (been here for a year and a half already) and shoot the breeze without my sentences becoming stupid daisy's

It would not impact on the majority of the people who use the .org in any way. Sure, it might have done in the past, but since we've seen how touchy the mods are about it affecting other parts of the forum, we promise to not to.

And don't give me any of the stupid "4 Rules Good, 2 Rules Bad", since I know that none of you are stupid enough to think that rules are impeccable. Don't attempt to convince me otherwise.
