frustrated with people...

[surreys princess]

i am tired of all the posts about how shitty mods are..or people complaining cause they got an infraction..or having to explain why we, or i, do something..or someone complaining about a mods request..or questioning of the rules....

you guys are on the other end of this site..you dont see the threads that are deleted, the comments, the complaints, etc..when we say there is no use of the n word, there is a reason..when we say both of you get an infraction, even if provoked, cause both of you stooped to the others level, it is for a reason..if we nuke an alcohol thread, there is a reason...

you guys dont see the childish emails and posts about you let such and such say whatever and you wont let me....reasons like this are why things go straight across the board now.....if you dont give both people infractions, you get accused of having favourites..if you dont stop everyone from using the n word, you are a racist..if you delete one post for someone, they want 48572430579 deleted and if you dont, you are not a good mod..you let someone post about a particular person, someone else gets mad noone posts on them and they complain...

there are numerous posts with little sidehanded comments about mods and their actions in here, and it really has to stop...you forget, without mods, you wouldnt even have a site cause administrators cant do it all, it is impossible...you forget that you only know what you see here, and not what really happens, so you think you know best..some of us spend 4, 6, 8 hours a day on here, of our own time, unpaid, to make this site better for everyone..stop pissing on us every chance you get, everytime something happens you dont like...we just dont deserve it...

thanks..

Well this post goes to the appreciation of all the MODs here.

In the past, I'm guilty of bickering, and comments about mods intentions. In the end, they stuck to their guns and created a vision of a chill, positive, and fun message board. In this day and age of the internet, it's hard to think of somewhere where most members treat each other with diginity and respect. We should all be thankful for their hard work to make sure they stay the course of this vision. We can't get everything we want, but in the big scheme of things, their decisions made this a better place.

Let's show appreciation by not complaining, going with the flow and cut their workloads a bit. :)

[noruth]

I'v been here only a little while but I have seen similar sites w/o mods and no one gets a chance to speak for all teh ranting, complaining, doing what they want, and making 500 threads about the same thing. You don't like what happened to you learn from it and go on trust me as long as you are vertical and have a pulse it won't be the last time. What makes you a responsible person is how you react to conflict (ask Ghandi, Lincoln, or a hollocoust survivor) responsible people become responsible users, without those we will never change a law or a mind.

I apologize if I ever was the one making an off handed comment. I make fun of everyone though sometimes. I think most of the members here really respect what y'all do. :hippy:

I think this is as good a time as any to say good job. Sorry y'all feel unappreciated sometimes.

At least when y'all get pissed you can ban some body though. :S2:Just kidding.

[Skink]

I think your a fantastic Mod Surrey...

[LIP]

Is this because of ONE post made by me, in which i expressed my opinion on my infraction, which was not deserved. Hardly complaining about any mods at all, i didnt name names, and i didnt even say anything about the mod.

I can express my opinion when i like, and i will.

[Psycho4Bud]

I can express my opinion when i like, and i will.

Yes you have that right and likewise your it usually gets ya into the shit. So when you exercise your RIGHTS don't feel bad when we exercise our rights to keep that off the forums.........but you've been told all this before.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

[surreys princess]

no LIP, it wasnt because of your "one post", but good you can think so highly of yourself....this had nothing to do with "expressing your opinion", it has to do with things more along the lines of, what you dont know about, you shouldnt speak about......i thought that MAYBE explaining why some things are done, some people would "get it" better, maybe see that things arent as black and white as they seem..but that doesnt seem to be working.....

and as for your "infraction"....it happens all the time..sometimes it has to be fair cause even though you are provoked, you still got down to their level..if you dont like it, i am sorry, but the rules are the rules....i always thought you were pretty cool and never once thought of you as a petty person..that said, i sure would have thought you would have gotten over this by now...

[Villui]

i think evreyone has a right to there opinion

[Psycho4Bud]

i think evreyone has a right to there opinion

When did we EVER say that people didn't? BUT if you call your opinion calling someone a dumb ass son-of-a-bitch.......well, then we'll exercise our opinions in infractions. Easy as that.........

Is it so hard just to get along? And people wonder why there are wars....

But i have got over it. I mentioned it in one post. Your the one who included it in this thread. I'm not petty. As you know, i say what i like when i like and sod the consequences, i've had plenty of warnings and infractions, and when i get a ban or an infraction i normally agree, personally, i would have not given an infraction, just a warning.

But it's not like i give a damn is it? So there, it's over. Gone.

If i come across as i think alot of myself, it's not intentional, however, like i say to everything, it doesnt bother me, so why should it bother others? It shouldnt. If they dont like it, theres an ignore feature. I encourage them to use it.

[Psycho4Bud]

personally, i would have not given an infraction, just a warning.

O.K........so when do the warnings stop? I banned you for personal attacks BEFORE the infraction system. Thats when EVERYONE got a clean slate. Since then you've racked up one warning plus 3 infractions for the same thing. I've sent ya e-mails asking to cool it down...just let us know and WE WILL take care of the abuser ourselves but you always elect to jump on their shit and then it's a matter of this:
Do we just hit the person that started it and be accused of having favorites.....LIKE LAST NIGHT...or do we delete the thread and have the war turn up in another thread/forum. Keeping things fair and making sure it doesn't spread around the board is part of what we are suppose to do.
In all actuallity, due to deleting threads your ass has been saved more than once, if you got ONE infraction, it should cover the other times that you were spared.

Just keep it mellow.......remember the word of the day?

I dont know what happens with other arguement, but i have never, not once, carried it on into another forum.

And i dont concider the word "twat" anywhere near a personal attack. Yet what that moron said the other day most definatly was. A warning would have surviced. But like i said, i couldnt give a shit less if i tried. End of.

- - Quoted for truth - -

Sometimes it's going to come down to a mod's personal opinion on the best way to keep the peace, but trust me when I say this, none of the mods here are for anything other than a peaceful forum. :hippy:

Threads/posts get deleted, and sometimes members receive infractions... based on the mods choice. Again, it's not to pick favorites, it's who the mod think deserved it based on rules violated, and strictly that. No one has a personal vendetta against anyone, lol, okay? :o

Just thought I'd throw my :twocents: into the pond.

Fair enough.....now lets take that to the test. Go to your local pub, find the biggest meanest looking son-of-a-bitch sitting at the bar. Walk up to him, look him in the eye, and say "Hi, your a TWAT". Now if he wishes you a pleasent day and buys ya beer.....fine.....if you get a black eye.....please post it. We'll call this the Lip test and you can post a thread regarding the outcome. LOL.....I want to see what dude you pick out also.:D

Im a rugby player. I'd be more than happy to do that. I've mentioned in previous threads i used to be into street fighting.

So, if you really want me to, i will. But then again, it'll probably get deleted... [violence init]

Maybe i'll email ya the pics.

But i'd rather go up to him and say

"See you, you twat. I'll cut you first."

It just sounds more painful.

[surreys princess]

THIS IS NOT WHAT MY THREAD WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT....

thanks....

now, all i wanted was a space to come and try to explain things since the flavour of the month seems to be piss for mods..i thought trying to explain some things, maybe some people would think twice about pissing on us......if you dont like what i have to say, fine, you are entitled, but please keep it out of my thread....

it isnt about how many likes us or doesnt, i am sure most of us could care less..it is just about everyone understanding there are reasons we do what we do, even if you cant see them as the member, and to just try to k.i.s.s.....

that is it...no alterior motive....was just trying to spread some understanding and knowledge....

[LIP]

I promise i wont piss on you. Sound good?

Only when ya on fire ;)

Sure we make mistakes just like the next person, but we only have whats best for the members of this site in mind and despite what some ppl think at times its not a easy position to be in when you have to ban a fellow member or send them an infraction.
I for one appreciate each and everyone of you, and yes I beleive your opinions do matter, and I know that I have learnt alot of things from ppl here and for that I thank you.:hippy:
There have been alot of changes here and most of you have dealt with it all really well and I say we all move forward together and enjoy what each one of us brings to this site. Lets face it, we can all learn alot from each other and thats what this site is for.

[geonagual]

I have tried...but I just can't get an infraction. Maybe some day.

[ericwt]

Perhaps you Mods need to be a little less sensitive. No one is forcing you to mod here. Also a imagine there is a lot of people here that would love to take your place.

Don't get me wrong, most mods here are cool. I generally think when someone bitches at a mod they are really complaining about a rule that the owner makes.

However making moral judgements that are not covered by the rules and deleting or locking a subject because their own values is counterproductive. It is actually bringing more negative attention to mods.

Remember I love this site and most of you mods. Please don't ban me.

:p :smokin:

[Psycho4Bud]

We have also been informed that everything does not need to be in the guidelines. The owners want a respectable site and that WE should use our best judgement when moderating.

This thread is really based on common courtesy....we deserve it as much as any other member here. It's always nice to log in to find your name or actions slammed across the forums. That would NEVER be allowed to happen to ANY member in here and we are members also.

LOL.....if we WERE as "sensitive" as stated.....THEN you'd have a reason to complain and I'm sure it would be brought to our attention. Also, as to the "moral judgements".....if we didn't make these judgements once again there are people that WE answer to that would remind us of such. Many topics are brought up for discussion that members never see, but you can be assured that there are NO loose cannons on the mod squad.

Oh ya, we don't ban people for putting things in a respectable manner like you did.....thank you for that!!

I appreciate the mods very much. We need to remember they are people just like us (well similar anyway). They have feelings and bad days and good days. They get tired, pissed off, happy and hungry. Just because you are typing to them doesn't mean they should be treated any differently than you would treat a normal human being that you would meet anywhere in the world. Sometimes mods make mistakes because they are human. They are volenteering, but it is just like work. Work where you get to be stoned and talk about weed and make friends, but work. Can you remember the last day at work when you made no mistakes. I make them every day. I also do some amazing work every day, just like the mods do.

If it seems like a mod is having a bad day, or picking on you, or whatever, just back off a day or two. What's the big deal? Whatever it is it's not worth it, or at least it can wait until later. Believe me, you'll lose any battle of power or cockiness. There's been talk of stooping to their level, but how do you know their level? You really know nothing about them and their current condition. Perhaps they are the greatest and smartest person in the world, but just having a bad day or week, or a day where they might tend to make more bad decisions than usual.

The longer you hang out here, the more you will begin to recognize certain characteristics of individual mods. Try to pick up on these, and you'll begin to understand which buttons not to push for certain mods. They are individuals, as different as snowflakes (but less flaky).

Hope that helps shed some kind of light. What kind, I don't know.

peace n love n stuff

[delusionsofNORMALity]

i came to this forum about 6 months back firmly convinced that i would be banned by the end of the year, i tend to be abrasive and i've never met a rule i liked. well, i soon found that i just couldn't bring myself to get pissed off enough to cross the line. this is a freakin' weed forum, damn it, and if you can't laugh off a couple of insults then you obviously ain't high enough yet. though i find find some of the rules a bit tiresome and some of the mods' decisions questionable, i just light up another joint and remember that my more inflammatory thoughts can always find a home in another forum.

i just follow one simple rule. i never come here unless i have enough of a buzz to feel the pulse of the earth. thanx mods, you're doin' fine by my count.:clap:

Just take the bitching in stride mods.

I would expect to get a little shit now and then from members. Like I said they are really complaining about the owners rules.

Psycho4Bud you and most other mods are pretty cool.

Just take our bitching with a grain of salt.

I love it here and will not go anywhere else even if I disagree with some of the rules or question some of the mods decisions.

At least you allow some feedback on this site. For that I am thankful.

Some of us smokers are very rebellious people by nature. Don't let us get under your skin too bad.

Welcome to being a moderator. I thought it was covered in Moderation 101: People will typically not like you. It's kind of like being a cop without the benefits.
