What's new

Reputation Comments, positive and negative

LOL! I love when Mods play the martyr angle. None of what goes on here bothers me. I thrive on the attention. I'm enjoying Trouts private death wishes and public declarations of hatred, Vinyl's flames, and whatever else is thrown my way. For kicks I did my one and only mod/admin check to see if Sloanfeld was right about a double standard. The whole experience reminded me of Obama's justice department. I just had to laugh at how ridiculous it was. I like this place. I'm afraid you're stuck with me.

This is the game Hopper always played.
 
By the way, thanks to the mods in my back pocket, I am officially Infraction-Free in approx 18 hours.


yeah, but the back pocket doesn't count, it's what it the front pocket that's important
:wink:

What did happen was I was told privately that all but one of the mods didn't care about it unless it had a homosexual slur attached.
Publicly a moderator said it was a trivial matter.
I asked the outcome of the complaint and was told, "I don't know if I can tell you the outcome."
and the behavior continues so of course after all the shenanigans I figured nothing was done about it.

If something was actually done about it then I guess the continued death wishes and public displays of hatred are revenge. LOL!

Here are the new death wishes the vengeful auto insurance salesman gave me to wound me to the core:

You can't even be annoying properly. Please live to 105, enjoying the bliss of allzheimer's and lonliness.

It would sure be a bummer if a tanker full of gas were to run into your car and burned it to the ground. It would suck if you were in the car when it happened.

Like Babe, I do not approve of your duplicate account or your face. I think it would be awesome if you stuck it into the fan belt of a 1985 Chevy van.

I really doubt a moderator told you "I don't know if I can tell you the outcome." If so he/she was confused. We have a general policy that we don't feel obligated to tell people the results of their reports, but there's no policy saying moderators CAN'T tell people the results.

Anyway, I can tell you after you made the reports a discussion thread was started in the moderator forum. In the end there were 9 posts and 7 different posters in the thread. We discussed the four rep comments you reported. Three of them were from one poster, the fourth was from a different poster. After the discussion, the consensus was to issue an official warning to one of the two posters. (The other poster's comment was not deemed warning-worthy.) That was done within 24 hours after you made your report.

I'm also seriously doubting this statement of yours: "I was told privately that all but one of the mods didn't care about it unless it had a homosexual slur attached." If so, your source is leading you seriously astray. In fact, NONE of the mods said anything along the lines that the comments would have been more warning-worthy if they had had homosexual slurs attached. The ONLY mention of homosexual slurs in the thread was that one of the moderators said the infraction given to Sloanfeld for a "wishing for someone to die" rep comment had undoubtedly been in part because of the word "homo", but that he (the moderator) would have voted for an infraction regardless.

I will start a thread in the moderator forum about these new rep comments.
 
I dunno, I thought they were rather clever and avoided the whole, "Death Wish" thing pretty well. Not saying I'm not a dick, but you know, I just can't stand cheaters.

By the way, thanks to the mods in my back pocket, I am officially Infraction-Free in approx 18 hours.

Hmmm... about that "infraction-free" comment!?! ;)
 
This should turn interesting really quickly.

The only unsigned rep on my list was from Archie, but it wasn't undeserved. Just a post that I meant as sarcastic nonsense which I think he interpreted as plain stupidity. He's given me his fair share of pos-rep, too, so we're all good.

And Viny, you ARE an idiot. - bordy
 
Oh, and I got an unsigned positive rep from jazzgal....awww *blushes*

Almost makes me want to forgive you for giving out the password to Harpring Sucks Chat to dingleweed himself.
 
One falsely signed rep in my list:

If you really think I'm Hopper then as a mod you can do something about it.
But if you don't believe it then you are lying...by your own logic.

That's a nice spin, but I didn't say you were Hopper, or that I believed you were Hopper. I merely drew a comparison.
 
Let me clarify on the paraphrasing. I was asking the mod if there were the same standards for everyone when it came to death wishes after witnessing the conversation between Sloanfeld and the mods and this is the exact quote I got back:

FWIW, I interpreted the infraction for wishing death on Sloan, while the other mods seemed to interpret the infraction for him making an anti-homosexual remark [part removed as to not give away identity] But I'm willing to report those comments for you and we'll see what happens. Also FWIW, standards aren't necessarily the same or different for everyone, but those who aren't chronic offenders don't receive the same "punishment" as those who are.

OK, so that was talking about Sloanfeld's situation, not about our discussion on your reported rep comments. We didn't have a discussion at the time about what parts of his statement were more offensive then others, so that moderator was just offering his/her opinion about the discussion that had taken place.

Here is the exact quote when I asked the outcome:
I don't know if I'm supposed to tell anyone what infractions/warnings others have got. You can ask them for all that I care.

Well, the policy is that moderators don't HAVE to tell users the outcome, not that they CAN'T. Although, I will admit, there may well be times when we decide that it not really anyone's business but the person who got the infraction.
 
So my only unsigned neg reps were from BOX, Dwill_pwnrexguy and Kicky. Yep, not shocked at all. I think Kicky has an inferiority complex or something.
