Erm, that's a bit harsh Wolfy. What was it Jesus said about people without sins and throwing stones?

OMG! Religion!

Hey bakedpotato, about this little quote here:

"Either that or the posts will be deleted...I'm telling you now if your post disappears you'll know right away, you wont even have to ask who did it because it will be me... I did it and if you don't like it tuff...
And if you don't like what I'm saying that's too bad too...
It's not your site it belongs to me and Eraser and we are tired of having to spend our time dealing with this ridiculous argueing...it's going nowhere and is a waste of good time.
It's that simple...so if that's what you want just keep it up..."

Ok, since I dont respond to threats well, let me put it in the nicest way I can:

You think I'm kidding, well I'm not the content has been deleted by me bp...
If you don't like it, as I said too bad...

Like I said enough is enough.

Alright this is to much for me.

Here: i aploogize for all my action sthat have offended and i remove myself from the situation.

it's about time you people did have a public reckoning. you're unaccountable, unanswerable, corrupt, and hypocritical.

for the sake of this *united front* rubbish you defend the indefensible. as a body you make decisions based on personal prejudice and then pretend its just enforcement of the rules. why don't you just come clean about it? just say *it's our site we can do what we want and you can s*d off if you don't like it?* at least that would be honest.

don't give us any rubbish about *we argue like hell in private* as its what's in public that counts, as the current situation clearly demonstrates. i reckon this is make or break for you now. there's been too much *inner-circle* and *we're the moderators* you desperatley need to restore credibility by a more open decision making process and a lot more honesty and a lot less patronisation. or just continue to degenerate
into a private club for 1/2 dozen middle-aged Americans and one 15yr old.

as to the family site waffle? examine your standards and criteria, because while you may be steering the site towards 8 yr olds, you're promoting ESRB 17 rated games. Do you actually have any idea what you're doing? Do you even know what your standards are? seems to be whatever certain moderators decide at any given juncture, with no uniformity or rationale other than personal prejudice.

*negative* and *offensive* - how very very sad. On what basis is *negative* and *offensive* decide? not the rules and regs, but on BP/Stinger/FDs reactionary say so. Why even bother to deny it anymore?

Ok, this has gone far beyond funny now. This needs to stop. A family site needs to cater for young and old ok. A family is not made up of 2 year olds, its the young and old alike. This is just not being constructive anymore.

it never was constructive.

I jave to agree with Taw on certain things. Would you let a 8 year old play GTA? most parents would say nope. And yet i have seen threads before on GTA and all on TLR so it does pose a few questions (i'm not taking sides just pointing facts).

Myself i think some censorship in general is a good thing, but i think the mods should step back for a moment and think what exceeds the bounds of good taste and what doesnt. And the attackers should step back and think if they are ebing fair and if they are making sense or just being silly.

Taw does make some good points...

And another thing: mods really have to stop taking criticism so personally, and instead reflect on it. In return, I promise that I won't take locking and deletion so personally, and reflect on the reasons behind that.

In some cases*, however, the criticisms of the mods have been laced with ad hominem directed at specific people. Rather hard not to take that personally.

*Taw is quite bad with this.

Here is a good qoute i found on another forum "I judge your post, not you"

Also making personal attacks is fruitless. For example if someone said to me "DS you act to rashly please try and think ebfore you post" if i responded "Well your a idiot" thats just stupid.

Personally i disagree with Bp's deleting... policy. That does not give me the right to flame, or to attack him. I have the right to present a argument against him. And generaly i should email him before forum action becuase forum action doesnt have to happen.

bret,this never was funny,nor a joke,it wass serious.Its gone so bad .....In all my time here ive never seen this CRAP! Im talking about our "deleting fairy" who hasnt spoken,I know someone stepped up but id doubt such an honest person would do it.

Wait wait wait, i think this is the tale of the deleting fairy

Then 'fairy' did delete so earaser said it was him but it wasnt it was bp who later admited it and so...

You're wrong I didn't admit to deleting anything...
What I did say was Eraser does not have to take the blame all by himself.
We both equally responsible.

I have never deleted or locked a post...
Fact is I cant think of anything I've done to offend anyone...
