Full Version: Why can't we decide what is acceptable as a community?

Why is it that the mods get to arbitrarily decide what is okay to post and what isn't? Can't we do it more democratically, or at least take input and if the community feels overwhelmingly towards one side, we could do it?

One example is those nasty pictures of Jenn topless. Frankly, I don't think most people here have a problem with those being posted. However, Dei does have a problem with this, and . I mean, if the mods were truly there for us and our community, why don't they take our input on such matters?

Oh, thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat's what he meant. Thanks lots, bro.




I also wouldn't mind if crap were decided more as a community instead of by the bossmen/chick, but I don't think it's really arbitrary for the people in power to...have power. Also some of the people here are just retards, so I could see some stuff turning out badly if it were more democratic.

Yes I do. What about it?

I don't think it'd turn out too bad. I don't think the community would go as far as changing people's usernames without permission.

Speaking of which:

I think people are going overboard with the name changing crap. It's just confusing. We're given a change every six months, right? I don't think mods should also do it on request. Or to their selves.


I maintain that despite the closeage of the topic and complete ignorance (can that word be used that way?) of it.

Umm, well, I believe the community as a whole should decide what is acceptable and not just you arbitrarily?

Kele, I didn't mean things like that, I just simply mean in cases where it is a moral judgement only. There's no need for actualy full on community-moderation, that's stupid, but there's also need for arbitrary external rulemakers also.

Not seeing the relevance at all. As far I have noticed I have not made any rules for the this community either arbitrarily or more importantly, independently.

This place isn't nearly significant enough for there to be a need for democracy. It's not like our wellbeing is threatened by the absence of communal decision making. Also some of the people here are just retards.

You post too much under the influence Feern. This is the first time you have ever posted in this topic. I hate to spoil the rep of the nazi mods but there are no removed postings from this topic that belongs to you. Sorry!

That sounded a little too...rehearsed.

I would say that I wouldn't want them (nor expect them) to mod the suggestions and staff on the spot etc topics at all, but I remember one time when I made a comment in some topic and got like five people rofling at me and calling me a retard. I was all right with them deleting those.

Maybe I was/am fucked up... or maybe this is a vast conspiracy?!

I don't disbelieve you, it's just a retarded saying I have used on occasion. Mostly to one word answers like yes or no for innocuous questions. I don't remember where I heard it originally.

Plus you're a liar. You promised me naked pictures and have yet to deliver.

Well, we know it may have one person in it, that's pretty vast.

By that logic, it's not significant enough for there to be mods in the first place.

Honestly, if mods aren't going to find porn for us (or make it for us, in this case), I don't see why we even have them.

First the lack of large naked black man pictures, Morm, and now this. Strike two. Come a third and we might have a kung fu showdown on our hands. A naked kung fu showdown. And nobody wants that.

I think he was just throwing out the name of the system for some reason, not saying that we have it. Meta-mod sucks anyway, though.

Better than the broken vagina you would suffer from when you orgasmed yourself into a coma at the sight. Also, I just noticed that my member number is one below yours, so I am inherently superior. People with a lower number than me are gay, though.
