these boards tend to turn into bickering and bitching alot, I'm trying to enjoy myself. apaprantly I'm not on my own if other people are doing it.

once again, the forum deems itself "a descent into badly moderated madness." by the site's creator. I am stil lyet to hear his opinion on the matter. all I seem to see are topics made by an ego tripping moderator with a low tolerance level.

how about lightening the fuck up and laughign about the insanity, instead of rushing to stomp rediculousness out. god forbid somebody has to scroll past a post or something.

you know how much some of us liek reading five page topics that are basically four forum members goign aback and forth insulting each other liek that wonderful forum debauchery thread.

edit: furthermore, I think I've contributed jsut as much relevant posting to this board as I have done nuttiness, so stop acting like I'm some sort of delinquent all the time.

Mutiny on the HMS Lexia Though in all seriousness, we moderate the forums the way we do because we come to a concensus as to what's in the best interest of the forum community as a whole. Sure Jeebus may be too uptight for some of us, maybe the other mods are too lenient, either way, we do what we do for you guys. This isn't a power trip, or a popularity contest. We get rid of all the spam, most of which (believe or not) never even makes it to your monitors, so you guys don't waste your time scrolling through bullshit. With this responsibility also comes the duty and the right to remove anything we feel is utterly deviod of any value. And, no offense Murdar, but the Queso Diaherea thread stands out prominently in my mind. If it were up to me, I'd have locked, deleted, and/or denied the existance of the Jon vs Science thread. Jon has beaten his dead horse, sodomized it, shit on it, and torched it. I tend to fall more towards Jeebus in my opinions, but it's not solely my decision to make. So if you want to deride the forums as 'Badly moderated madness', be my guest. I won't mod you, but I may take exception to you.

the forums say, right on top, on the right of the logo, "SYD LEXIA .COM: a descent into badly moderated madness."

and I don't see how it's in everyone's best interest to piss off a good portion of the people that post there. in this thread alone you ahve three people pissed off about the uptight bullshit. it's not like this is some giant forum where traffic is constant, and a few bumbling idiots are causing trouble and pissing everyone else off.

scrollign through bullshit? the occasional zany, stupid topic is not bullshit. the occasional stupid post with pizza nad wikipedia is not bullshit. it's not like we are runnign around ruining every topic we can find with this stuff. bullshit is constant oppression of a group of forumers beause you don't like what they're doing. when we start really fuckign up your christmas, when people decide that they don't want to post ehre anymore becuase they can't bear to look at a few pizza pies in the middle of an otherwise boring discussion, THEN give us shit about it.

and for the record, I would be one hundred percent AGAINST deleting the jon snow/ science topic. just like I expect people to put up with a couple of zany posts and topics on my behalf, I can put up with someone else's idea of a topic. they can jsut expect a wikipedia article here and there for the hell of it.

I agree with char (on every aspect except for calling me annoying ) everyone needs to lighten up a bit. it's not the end of the world. are you really ready to lose three or more forumers by being a nazi over practically nothing?
