Maybe "retarted" /"raptor"/ "whatever" will be back. He's been a slimy beggar and attention whore on other boards before ours. We'll kick his scumbag butt out of here a few more times, I reckon, before he takes his juvenile masturbatory stunts elsewhere. I gave you a chance, you little pud-whacker. You decided to take the testicle-free route. Next time, I'll contact your Mommy. Don't you have some x-box games to mod you little wanker?

WOW, I missed that. Dean you are a real potty mouth. I think that one probably crossed the line. I have been indited 3 times for profanity and I've never said anything that colorful.

I'm willing to take my infractions or a small vacation by saying that I can't blame them for being tired of the whiney bitches.
Go ahead Dean, Susan or Jeff, give me the smack down. It's worth it.

Actually Wade, where are the actual rules on post content located?
I just try to stay civilised and report anything I find really offensive but I don't know what the official line is. Seriously, I'd appreciate a link if possible.

Yep I was accused of being on by Susan herself. Then she went on to say that a B**** is a female dog. Let me as you, her and anyone else if you were called a B**** would you NOT take offense to it? I already know what you will say so don't bother with the answer. I know the fraternity sticks together and will forever be one.......so be it.

It's not ok for mods to post profanity. It's not ok for them to call members whiny bitches, particularly if they direct the term at specific individuals. I was out of line the night I started the "Political B.S." thread, and I acknowleged it IN that thread. I tried to give myself infraction points, but the system wouldn't let me. I did everything short of begging to be given points by the other mods, but they chose not to. That's actually consistent with how we've been handling mild profanity, and other mild transgressions; we've relaxed disciplinary actions considerably.
It IS ok for mods to complain about the thankless job, especially when the complaint is couched within a plea for members to relax in reporting every little thing that irks them.
It IS ok for members to express wishes or suggestions for change. It is not ok for them to begin publicly arranging the changes without admin approval. If I don't like the staff at my local supermarket, or if I think they're understaffed, I can't set up a table at the front door and start soliciting applicants. I can express my concerns to the store's management; I can complain in a local publication; or I can decide to shop elsewhere. The store would be VERY generous if they allowed me to post my concerns, complaints, or suggestions in their front window. Most stores wouldn't allow it. We're allowing it here, but I'm not going to let it go further than that while I'm helping to mind Rich's store.

Fraternity? Will there be dancing?
I've been called so much worse than that on this very forum, actually. I guess if I had thinner skin it might offend me, but this is a small part of my REAL LIFE, so I can shrug it off and put the shattered pieces of said life back together and move on. *shrug*
