I hope I am in agreement with most of you when I say that I am disgusted by the fact the "an email I received from Mickey..." topic is still open . That thread represents the hatred and intolerance that has become a staple on this board. Every time I see it I get sick to my stomach. I'm so disappointed that the staff thinks it is appropriate to keep it open. Hypocritical even, that most topics are closed for straying off topic. There wasn't initially a discussion topic at all. Just a message to the webmaster saying to keep an eye out for an email. Wtf? As crude of a way he went about it, I think dobbin made his point. I believe it was made within the first few hours. I also believe the problem could have been resolved through private emails; this was not the place to discuss the matter. All that thread has become is a forum to fling shit at each other like apes. Some of you might say that the thread was moving in a positive direction, why not make a separate thread? One that doesn't try to make an example out of earthleakage and mickey? Furthermore. I will not be returning to this board until that topic is closed. I don't think any of you really give a shit either way whether I'm here or not. Let me emphasize that this is NOT a shot at dobbin. All I really want to do is express my dissatisfaction for the criteria of an acceptable topic and hope that it is closed. It has been open unnecessarily for far too long. If any of you are in agreement with me please join me in a leave of absence to protest hate and hypocrisy. Thank you.

Why does Morton wanna be a moderator so bad?... Is it the power?
anyway a moderator has had to have been a member a looong time and have an astute understanding of the various nuances of the board members..so the banning and close downs are not..hmm..unneccessary...
for example i can picture a lot of new members with the power to ban itching to eliminate the likes of Baron Von Pickle Foot, wMw..even myself...just for being themselves..

As I said in some other thread, I'm not sure 'bout coming a mod.
Though it wouldn't be wise to try and prevent me from becoming one.

(I think I at least have to pay first (that would also give me the possibility to post these pics in my replies))

heh, i had forgotten about that games-thread. But i'm glad you liked them!
BubbleBees is very hard... especially if you try to go for the big points and catch 2 or more bees in one bubble :-p
They also have a new game where you have to build a tower of pigs :-) It's super-addictive!
"one day ill be in the high scores :)"
LOL! HHAHAHHAHA! I highly doubt it! I gave up getting in those high scores a long time ago! :-p They are surealisticly high!

Hey Morton- now's your chance to be a mod for a minute.
Click on ''close topic'' and it shall be done.
I should have done this earlier really, last time I saw the topic it was pretty puny and Asche was talking about how lazy fat people are and people were correcting him, telling him that it could be glandular, seemed civil enough to me at the time. Almost DEFENDING... erm, overweight people.

Actually i think moderators get picture-posting abilities even if they haven't paid yet :-p
I wouldn't want to be a moderator though. I like to just come here and post, hehe. I wouldn't want the responsiblity of having to close topics and ban members, and have people disagree with my decisions and blah blah blah! I really don't see the appeal in becoming a moderator actually.

Jaworski: haha you're totally right there, and i know i'm alsways moaning about wanting to become a mod, but it's really nonsense. If i was offered to become one right now, i wouldn't even do it. I'm sure i would screw this mb up pretty fast (by closing the wrong threads or unintentionally ban myself and other stupid things), the current mods/webms do very well imo.
I even find it hard to cope with the responsibilities of being a member already ;)

After reading thru this whole set of posts, I just had to put MY two cents in...
Hmm Where to start, this whole topic brings up so many issues, which in my opinion plagues the board.I myself would NOT wanna have a moderator job. I give credit where it due, the moderators now do the job and DO it fairly well IMO.
I believe it would be tough to have to kinda referee a room of 100's of opinions and 100's of subjects a day...Listening to All of our BS at one time or another.
This forum is my fav. because OF the mere fact that alomost ANYTHING can be discussed here freely and friendly.
I am in total agreeance about the " fat people eating " thread...HORRIBLE...I am not a fat guy in the least bit and I was kinda disgusted by it...I thought of the "got an email from M" subject was, YES kinda stupid to POST it out here, but bound to move into, what my man QRTER calls -"depths of the pits of
xltronic."
YES, TO BE FORGOTTEN and dealt with between those two.
So in closing,heh heh, I am very happy with the moderation but I DID think you guys slipped letting that tasteless post live or even BREATHE...
Oh cmere everyone...GIMMIE A HUG=) and hurry back Doll wouldnt be the same without ya...

I regret not closing the Mickey topic... that was a tough one. Like I said in my first post there, I was THIS close to killing it, but I wasn't sure it was fair to Mickey, he should have a word in and tell his side, some people were even doubting it actually WAS him... and we never heard anything from him yet. Maybe instead of just closing it, it should have been deleted outright, it was the kind of thing that really had no place here and shouldn't be seen by ANYBODY but Dobbin. Delete it before too many people saw it.
But yeah, as a mod, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't... you lock it, you're a Nazi, the ''Thought Police Gestapo''... you don't, you're a slacker. If I could do it again I'd have just deleted it and e-mailed E-Leaky explaining why.

Yeah, Monoid's initial post was pretty nasty... but there wasn't any blatant ''fat bashing'' in the topic, none that I can see. There was actually some pretty good points made about the subject... it wasn't all that bad of a discussion. Some lame jokes here and there but everyone was mostly level-headed.
I was away when the topic REALLY took off to over 100 posts, but even if I wasn't, I might not have locked it... and Ceri didn't, and I can see why.
