What the hell are you on about now, hosa?
I really have no Idea what your talking about.
Whatever, have your fun confusing me.

You reap what you sow.

Capo, thanks for your support, but keep posting in the Backroom. I got what I deserved. Please don't get rude to Tito, if you could see the MANY warnings he has personally given to me you'd support the decision. I've kept the Mods busy every since I've been in the Tavern, so I am sure they can use the vacation as well. Well, they still be working hard since Capo WILL continue to post in the backroom!!!

But I think this thread can be productive because it can give an inside look to the less contriversal posters or would be mods on how the mods deal with the more contriversal members such as myself. So I hope the members ask proper questions and listen and understand the answers.

I still dont know what hosa was on about...
Ok, Dave. I'll *try* to temporarly take your place (double posts wohoo!)

**Hosakawa Tito** · 09-13-2004, 23:01

Capo , you wondered aloud why you were not demoted. Taking Dave's place (behavior-wise) is the surest path to having that unpleasant event take place. I'm not familiar with your latest screw up, I was "out of action" that week. However, receive 5 formal warnings and your demoted for a minimum of 2 days, the gravity of your misdeeds will of course determine if more time, more quickly is in order. Everyone makes mistakes LEARN FROM THEM, but if you constantly push the boundaries of acceptable behavior, you just may find yourself demoted. I don't want that, I don't think you do either. That's what I'm "on about". Is that plain enough?

Good explaination Tito. Capo, if you could see the amount of email warnings that the mods have sent me and the mulitple chances that were given to me, you'd understand more why I was demoted. Like I said before, use my experience constructively. When posting be strong but not too harsh. A rock breaks the same whether beaten with a hammer or placed in a gentle stream. Just look at the approach that Redleg takes. Believe me, its hard not to attack and go for the throat, but you can achieve your arguement with the same devastation with careful, surgical arguements.

That's what I like about this board - even if things get ugly in some heated discussions (which does not happen too often), in 90% of these cases I have the feeling that after people have let off some steam and chilled out a bit, we have somehow made a step forward.

**Kaiser of Arabia** · 09-14-2004, 23:48

My latest screw up was back on september 1st wen I used cencored versions of the word f*** in a post, a rant more like it, but I didn't get a warning. Also, before that my record has nearly been spotless this summer.

Also, ok, now I getcha. I was just saying that I have been in a situation similar to Dave
("racist" comments, flame wars, etc. and although I did not read Daves posts, I assume that I have done nearly the same thing and have not been demoted. thats all.

And why are you being so hostile Hosa, what did i say THIS time?

'I fought the law and the.... law won'

It's nice that you guys are rebels with a cause and all but how is it that I've been able to express my conservative viewpoint and have never recieved so much as a pm warning for my posts? I doubt Redleg or Pindar have either. I think there may be some distinct differences in our posting styles, maybe not for the better in y'alls case. You can't beat the law guys

It's pretty likely to happen when things spiral down. But it's a case by case thing and viewed from different angles in staff PM discussions. Your haircolor is irrelevant.

I am not being hostile toward you Capo. I'm trying to steer you away from unacceptable posting behavior in the forum. I much prefer to reason with you than to have you demoted. I believe you are reading something into my words that isn't intended to be there.
