Codify Thread Starter Rights and Get a Mod Team

Yes, they are stated in terms of movie ratings. What movie rating does the F-word fall under, answering as a clone of Shades?

RI why are you asking me this? Are you testing me as a potential mod or something? I've already served a mod here. Do you think I would suggest putting out a call for mods if I hadn't already done time myself?

The problem I see involves trolling and spamming. I've stated it repeatedly. I've proposed solutions.

No, I’m not testing you as mod. I’m responding to your first quote-post of me above.

If you are doing 60 mph when the speed limit is 40 mph, and you pass a cop who doesn’t pull you over, are you breaking the law?

Ask Shades. Then clone his answer and pretend it came from me.

Shades didn’t comment on my post upthread. You did.

What you did in your original comment is conflate the rule with enforcement of the rule. What the rule says and how Shades chooses to enforce the rule are two different issues. I addressed rule breaking. Shade’s reliance on the word censor has nothing to do with whether the rule has been broken.

RI I apologize for that last. I'm simply talked out.

If people can't control themselves enough to avoid using cuss words in the Spirit Paradise and Terrestrial Fora, what use is moderation to them?

Seriously Shades?

There are now dozens upon dozens of posts in thr last few days that contribute nothing more than this all too typical example, no matter what the previous poster contributes:

Screw you pissboy. Nothing but lies out of you. Do you have any interest in telling the truth, ever?

You honestly think that's the same as using a cussword in a discussion? That's not an opinion, that's trashing a discussion board, and you're letting it happen. AtlanticMike and WaterDog/Cultellus have now trolled dozens of SP threads, and broken YOUR rules repeatedly. Do you need more examples?

Besides the thread where you guys are upset at schmo for using the word "cxxt", I still haven't found one example or post where another poster is taking up for a more conservative poster and asking schmo, doc cam or Icarus to leave that poster alone and stop insulting them. You guys have grown accustomed to insulting more conservative posters away by insulting them so much that they finally just give up and go away.
The reason you guys are begging Dr Shades for help now is because someone has come along and called you guys out on your bad behavior and no matter what you try, I just keep coming back for more. You're upset because I chose to play your game and instead of playing at the frequency you guys operate on, I turned the volume up so loud it's hurting your ears and now you're begging Dr Shades to help you turn the volume down.
For the seventh time!! Allow posters who might lean more conservative than lem, Jersey girl, doc cam, schmo, and Icarus the ability to come on here and post without being insulted personally, and I'll calm down. Iem, I would love to start threads like I did on md&d and have a discussion about all kinds of subjects. Apparently you read what I wrote over there, I talked about all kinds of stuff. I had over 1200 post and probably started at least 20 or so threads. Probably had around 600 likes, so it's not like I'm trying to troll you guys, I'm just pointing out the toxic atmosphere here in spirit paradise.
In my opinion another moderator isn't needed to make this forum a place where people feel comfortable posting. Just stop insulting posters personally. Stop badgering the conservative posters and life will be less stressful.

No apology needed, but thanks.

[Lem]

This addition by Cultellus was made apropo of NO post. Shades, do you consider this to be an acceptable comment about canpakes' motives?

Lem, Cultellus is a small person trapped in a small life who needs this board. It was easy enough to flip his game back on him better than he gave it and he hasn’t been able to deal with that ever since.

I have to admit, though, that it’s fascinating watching him slide deeper into dysfunction (and Tourette’s) as he obsesses over half-a-dozen strangers on a message board.

Yes, he really fell apart, as did AM. Their posts are clearly just meant to troll, which is an interesting development given Cult's statement to Shades that 'the trolling was over.' Right.

Their posts are clearly just meant to troll

Given the several posts that have been very recently posted by "them", I can only think of two possible options.

1. You have serious struggles with reading comprehension.
2. Your vision has been so badly affected by you attachments here, that you are almost completely blind at this point.

I'm fairly confident it's #2.

There he is. I was wondering when we'd see full-hypocrisy-ceeboo again.
