    The half that voted yes. What were we thinking of? It's suicide. I want to change my vote.

    Why did you vote yes, Nikcelodeon? Seriously now.
    Et tu, S.A.M.? Seriously now.

    Er, "them" is me, 'friend'. I've got 23 points, on account of my internet Tourette's.

    Do you realise that, moderator fuckers!?? I've got internet Tourette's!!!

    I'll sue.

    Infractions aren't a problem. I can surf infractions til the end of forever.

    Not bans though. Bans will work.

    LOOK...if you have a problem with a poster tell PLAZMA...let him look at the offending post...let HIM decide whether to warn or ban the offender...he can WARN him or....he can BAN him for a bit, or he can BAN him forever (pending new sockpuppet)...simple.

    Let the members be members, let us love or hate James R , Q and the rest because of what they post, not because they wield some sort of power over the rest of us.

    Plazma Inferno...yes, I think you've got it....it's time to earn your crust. Abolish the mods and become god almighty yourself...you can warn, wean or kill, it's entirely up to you.

    Instead of this ridiculously protracted song and dance around a new model car, why not just test drive the damn thing and see what it gives?

    So, decide on the model make, insert the key, and roll.

    If the ban system is re-established, will it also apply to trolling moderators? Or will they be immune from punishment, much like they are under the infraction system?

    I cannot see any reason why people should be banned.

    All differences of opinion should be dealt with in the thread.

    Idiots are ignored.

    The first thing that should be banned are the moderators. We've lost some great members due entirely to certain mods personal prejudices and vendetta's.

    Change the system, but let Plazma Inferno run the shindig, the same way Dave W did it before him.

    Mods create coflict and cause resentment.

    Infractions are simply warnings but because they are given by mods, they create the above.

    Plazma...BE God and sack the angels.

    Absolutely!

    I resent people who are less intelligent and knowledgeable than myself giving me warnings.

    Irrelevant.

    They might be more or less intelligent that xyz member but the fact is that they are supposed to be members equal to the rest. Unfortunately, their artificial status puts them on a different level and too many other members resent that. Also, and I mean absolutely also, some mods believe the hype and seem to go out of their way to piss people off, knowing that they are beyond reproach.

    Until only recently this site was not moderated and did just fine, if anyone had a complaint they only had to pm Dave W (Porfiry) and he would sort out the problem without problem and without resentment....you know why? Because he was god, yahweh, buddha...all those things, he was the boss and he NEVER got personal or condencending.

    How many moderators did we have before Porfiry sold out?

    Ok...come to think of it, there were a couple, but for some reason, they were respected. Why do you think that was?
