This post has been moderated for flaming - The Mods
instead of taking out the ONE derogatory word at the end of my post, this entire post was deleted.

once again, the mods get lazy.


anyways, when these do called "casual games" are coming out for 30, 40, and sometimes 50 or 60 dollars, this entire argument goes to hell.

You raise an interesting point. There's no reason you can't introduce alcohol into the equation. If you do, it could actually be fun. It'd be like real beer pong without the setup and potential messes.

I'd much rather clean up some spilled beer than worry about my three hundred dollar gaming system or whatever kind of TV I have being fucked up.

3. Oh, one more thing... You are not Detective Columbo. If you forget to say something in a reply, don't post a new one directly after it. Instead, you should EDIT your original post.

We aren't your janitors. Learn to self-govern or expect your posts to be removed.

-the ENTIRE PURPOSE of a moderator is to be a forum janitor.

-When you learn how to properly use the edit command, so will I.

-I haven't heard any other sort of bitching besides you getting pissy because I complained about your laziness, so if it's really that much of a nuisance for the forum then ban me, otherwise I'm gonna keep doing like I've been.

JEW wrote: random modded stuff I see what you're saying, but the point is that if we delete the word you used, then we might have to delete a sentence of something offensive. Then a paragraph. The fact is that you obviously know you didn't have to use the language you did and you chose to use it anyway, which in a way invalidates any point you were trying to make. Basically, you were being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole. Usually if you are generally dismissive there's a good reason, and it's to make a point. This time is was for the sole purpose of being a douchebag. We're not here to edit your posts; we're here to decide if what you post breaks the forum rules that Syd put up. A derogatory and intentionally flame-worthy word, even if it's a small part of your post, is grounds for deletion because it's done with malice. It's not up to us to figure out what your intention or mood is; it's to regulate the forums so that one word doesn't turn into a 10- to 15-word rebuttal and then into a flame war. Not that you don't know this already, but I'm not seeing the point of starting an argument with a mod over something you know was wrong. There wasn't "pissiness" until you complained about being modded. Back on topic, I'd much rather play beirut in person because it keeps the social interaction in tact, which I thought was supposed to be the point of drinking games. Drinking by oneself while online with others seems really dumb. Having said that, if a person really feels like setting up the table/throwing a party is too much work then more power to them. I personally would only play this game if it were free and only once, just to try it.

Yeah, I called the guy a retard to be an asshole, but taking the entire post down was done in malice as far as I'm concerned. removing one word, especially one added with a comma as an afterthought wouldn't have killed anyone. It's obviously much more satisfactory to make me have to type the rest of my ENTIRELY VALID AND WELL WRITTEN point over again. Either that or you're just really lazy.

If I made a huge post about how much I hate black people and want them to die or something, then yeah, I could see how deleting that would be a good idea, but I didn't. Removing that ONE word would have done just as well to stop said rebuttal and flamewar, and then you wouldn't have me bitching here because I had to retype from memory whatever I just posted. It's the job of the moderator, and even professional sites know to walk this line. If you're too incompetent/lazy/inconvenienced by this, then why the hell are you a moderator?

as far as I can see, the only reason any of you are mods is because you know the site's owner in real life. You guys are terrible. you can let so many other stupid things slide, and then something like the above, you jump on your saddle and moderate. When I have a legitimate concern with something, (like talking about killing the white devil) it's pretty much pished away as "well it's from a movie", yet I say the n-word (which is a slang term, not derogatory, used in tons of movies, songs, TELEVISION SHOWS, and god knows what else), I haven't heard anything about the ONLY black guy on the board being upset about the usage of the word,and it's modded immediately on the grounds of "any usage of a potentially offensive word, slang or otherwise is against policy." I honestly feel that most of the time it's only because *I* said it.

The easy thing to do would be to say "you're right, I didn't feel like dealing with any bullshit and just deleted the post when I saw the bad word. My bad, next time I'll just blank out the offensive parts." like an adult. but I don't see that happening.

Fuck, I'm pretty sure this entire rant will just be deleted because I used a bad word at the beginning of it.

I don't mean that harsh shit at you spanky.

upon rereading the above post, I can see you weren't taking the tone of "I'm a moderator and my dick is big, obey me." You seemed to try to legitimately address the concern that I had. It's just a very frustrating subject.
