Oh shit i have to say somethin here hehehhehe i just have to

Well. My interaction with moderators have been funny. I've had a thread meant for GD put into non-prince music...they did me justice in placing my accidently wrongly placed thread into the right one- God bless em for dat, but da moment i tried to point out a mishap in their moderation- i was ignored.

I have been banned from here once. On the count of my cheekyness I have no regretz. Absolutely none For what is said n done is said n done

I think modz has gosta be doin a good job...but i feel at timez indulge in "over moderating". But what do u suppose i can do about dat except complain and i certainly ain't gonna waste my breathe around here- what i'm sayin here is enough said.

The rules, although i did "agree" to them...leave a little too much power-giving to some...and I have never been one to personally agree to dat kind of hierachy-based environment. It kinda shitz me to be honest If it had to be me, i'd be deciding dat a "problem" between any two or more orgerz includin modz should be nipped at da bud. Cause then the innocent onez get a freaking slap in da face for defending themselvez. Fuck it's corrupt

But hey nothin can be perfect...gawd forbid improvementz in forum rules dat are more democratic

What about you? Delete ALL your shadow accts and get back to me

Every one has said heaps, so i won't say anything except that i think this is the only HUGE thread i've read from start to finish. Very entertaining ! ( shit i must've been bored )
The bottom line is that i've had experiences at other sites , Prince ones , (not gonna say which, ) where things would be totally overlooked HERE as petty; and my posts have been deleted,threads locked, and had the **** moderated out of them.So i feel this is a cool place; where tolerance is observed. That's why so many peeps come here. I don't hang out in GD; or P&R, coz i like other Forums, but this thread has been like watching a soap opera, ex Mod's, ex flamer's , Mod on Mod, flamer on flamer; a microcosm of the place at large.The fact that everybody spoke their piece, and some post's where deleted, but generally views were aired is refreshing. O.K. so i said alot: Now a word from our (?) :::

Why agree to the rules if you disagree with them? Cos you "have to"? You don't have to do ANYTHING, it's up to you. The rules plainly state that it isn't a democratic site, it's not beating around the bush with it. It's BEEN corrupt, the corruption is slowly leaving the site though and there's nothing but for that. Innocent people are innocent until they've defended themselves, if they respond with something breaking a rule they're no longer innocent. Kinda the purpose of the rules, don't you think? It takes less effort to report a thread or a post violating the rules to a moderator than it does to deal with it heads on, but some people like the drama. I used to myself, but now I just LOVE the report to mod option, then I don't have to start up with silly shit or get dragged into it again.
Even though I'm not a moderator and has no right to ask anything, I'd like examples from you on what could be more democratic in the rules, with logic reasoning for the potential pros and cons. It would be interesting to read, cos I used to go through the rules looking for loopholes and negative shit to take up with mods but couldn't find any really. Looking forward to reading another perspective, it's always healthy!!

Tell her what's she's won, Bob!!!!!


Exactly. Some people here are losing their grip on reality, and slowly taking small steps toward the abyss. It's the Internet. There's a whole, big, wide world out there. Some here need to go outside and breathe some fresh air. Take a bike ride. Go to the coast. Jesus!!! Something!!!


I'm not here much anymore because I got bored with the topics.
Newsflash for everyone:

If it starts to smell too much like high school and lowers your maturity level, you need to leave.

Eh, I just wanna come here n do my thing...hehe. I can't say i love drama, for gawd sakes i live in Australia...we're too laid back here anyway lol, and on a personal level if i do stir shit, chances are i'm havin a good ol' :evillol" behind da monitor . Ahhh..you've asked about what i'd think are more democratic rules. Without meaning to start anything here, but I think a moderator should be lightly moderated themselves . Hell, they're human too. I choose not to go into detail, because...while i've experienced negativity...i don't wanna cause anything by opening my mouth and a opening a can of wormz dat'll just cause trouble!! I don't like upsettin people- even if i've had a bad run into them. Dat's just me. It's my choice. Probably what got me in da first place. I kept quiet. I didn't wanna hurt noone. So I create a funny account and occasionally use it to make a somewhat shall i say "political statement" of this site dat is satirical, makes people think about how da site is run blah blah...happen 2 use it in a way dat seemingly pisses some modz off...and so da saga began. And eventually (with a big POW!) da saga ended. When i first joined this site just over a year again i thought 'what drama could POSSIBLY happen HERE?!' well..guess what, i found out!!

Why I have problems with rules is this: people use em to bite u in da ass. IN my experience if you ignore drama, it dies down...cause noone can be stuffed using dat much energy unless it was for a laugh. Takes all kindz to make da world turn.

Yeah. Dat'z it. Well, hey i "agreed" to da rules to check out da site Not dat i should have to explain who and what i am to every person here, but for argument's sake i'll say dat i'm a lay-low person who makes only a noise when she'z havin a good time. I do-not-like-drama. Eech.

Anywayz, dat'z just what i think, make of if what u will

Who is this "Bob" you speak of, and how do I contact him? I'm still waiting to hear what I've won. I sure hope it's cash and not some bullshit prize basket with kiwis and laundry detergent samples.

Tom said:

Does this mean that when 2the9s was "banned/deactivated" that all the other mods were notified?

If so, i would be very dissapointed if some of those mods did not stick up for 2the9s. That's all i'm going to say.

bkw said:

True - we all see the actions taken, what leads up to it, etc.
So, yes, we were all notified.
Yes - we all chime in with our opinions. Some in favor, some not. None of us mods will take action against eachother (like unbanning someone when another mod banned them), unless it was extremely unfair and biased.
When a heavy decision such as deactivation takes place we will give our opinions, in private, as to what action(s) should take place or be reversed, etc - and defer to ben who will discuss with the mod and suggest a more correct form of action.
If we all agree, or can sway the mod who took action that his/her decision was unfair, then normally the mod who took the action would make the amendment or correction.
Of course, we would not (or should not) discuss our displeasure or disagreement regarding any decision a mod made in public... we should, and pretty much are a united front.
However, if ben disagrees with an action we took - of course he can still do whatever he damn well wants to and we just have to suck it up either way.

I hope this makes sense to you.

yes, we all agreed to put a stick-up 9's arse...


it was meaty *and* tasty...

June7 said:

Makes sense to me. You all appear, from this side at least, to be singing the same song.

However, when is he coming back? Minor infraction aside, he's hardly public enemy number 1. This is `only a website`, and it's a better one with him here. I demand answers!



(and I appreciate you won't discuss this here. )

June7 said:

I appreciate your straightforward and honest answer.

I appreciate that we will never know what is said behind closed doors, and nor should we.

My post is more a "prick of the concience", so to speak.

I guess when we know the final decision on 2the9s we will have a better idea.

matt said:

Interesting... and I assume you let them know what they did that was so bad to get them deactivated ? I think back and remember my history here and compare it with 2the9s and I realize that we are both good people with good hearts that are usually always in good spirits.... We speak our minds and for the most part always keep it legal but we've both been banned while there are a whole gang of misfits who are constantly getting away with breaking rules. Oh well nice guys don't make some of the mods favorite lists here... At least we know how some of the mds feel about us through their actions... we obviously share different views! I give props to the mods that keep it real here cuz it is a tedious job. Keep up the good work!

i do have to say that the moderators do an excellent job for the most part and since the new moderators have been added, the moderation has gotten worlds better than it was before. However, after reading what some moderators, hangers-on, and formers mods have said on this thread, i have to say that i am diappointed at some of the views expressed. I'm not saying that they should not be allowed to express these views, just that they disappoint me greatly. and at times make me physically ill. at least in the emoticon sense.

Hey, bkw, you know I love ya, eh?... one of these days we'll have that beer together...

PEJ said:

You're not going to like what I have to say, but then I guess we'll see what a nice guy you REALLY are then, won't we?

I think that you whine a lot about nothing, and your constant complaints get boring. Get over what "happened" to you. Lose the sig and move on.

You probably are a nice guy most of the time, but you and a few others are beating a very dead horse. And let me tell you....it's not real fun reading threads about fights I have nothing to do with. It just looks childish to the regular observer.

gemini13 said:

So don't read the fights silly

I'm with Pej on this, personal affronts of that magnitude should never be forgotten or forgiven. Had it happened in any other medium than the internet, you can bet your ass the people responsible would have been prosecuted. Most people are too chicken to keep it real and honest though, they stick to trashtalk behind people's backs and act all kissyfaced when they need to.

Teacher said:

Yeah, I probably shouldn't read them, but the problem is that sometimes, they're embedded within a thread that has absolutely nothing to do with what went on, y'know? I think it would be best if pej just changed his sig. That's baiting for a fight, IMHO.

I disagree with you on one point, though. Personal affronts SHOULD be forgiven. It's called taking the high road, what most higher minded individuals would do in ANY circumstance. To stoop to a lower level doesn't do anything but keep the personal affronts coming.

gemini13 said:

well said! even If the one you forgive isn't sorry to your face they will eventually learn where they were wrong.... thanks for your input

gemini13 said:

why should pej change his sig? to each their own

gemini13 said:

I'm sorry but wishing somebody dead isn't something to be forgiven. It just isn't. It's not the point of this thread though, so I'll say what's really been irking me since IceNine made it public that he's back on the site:

I say that the moderators are being cowards with this shit, the user was banned from the site and still he's back and has been for a while. Sticking your collective head in the sand isn't gonna work this time, by letting the user remain on the site you have inadvertantly given the go-ahead for ALL banned users to return. Therefore you cannot say or do SHIT were other banned users to come back, because if you did the bias in favour of the user IceNine would be all too clear. I think and believe that a lot of the people on this site are actually afraid of IceNine because he's vocal, verbal and has a high iq. A lot of sociopaths have these traits, it doesn't mean they should be treated like royalty. A racist is a racist is a racist, a fascist is a fascist is a fascist. IceNice is both of those things and he has never tried to conceal it.

With the Quaidbowl incident Prince.org had a huge chunk blown out of its credibility as far as the moderation went. This is happening all over again, people are either too scared to break the pattern or some of the people who ran the site back then and still do now likes IceNine way too much. Guess which way I'm voting?

This edit is hellafunny... I get your point now, and boy had I been steaming about this. I will repent now and I feel soooo stupid. What do I need to do to make it up? Oh yeah, now I know...

The mods all rock

But Tom rocks the most
