Aaah, sorry but its just excuses for people to be lax and sit in line and wait for the hand outs. Do this don't do that, read this don't read that, believe this don't believe that.
No one wants to take responsibility for their own action cause simple “ someone told me I could do that”
I don’t back the mods up that much but with everyone throwing that “responsibility of policing” on your shoulders instead of just “ taking it like a man/or woman” oh no we need more mods. Cause somebody got their toes stepped on or read something they don’t agree with or it hurt their feelings. Why not maybe bring a situation up to the mod like me (my infraction point) and saying ok it was a grey area it went against SWF P&P so I got the point, I can live with it, I don’t like it but I have to live with it. That’s called taking responsibility for my actions. Not asking a mod to wrap me up in a warm blanket and make big bad man go away.
Its only going to get worse when obama steps foot in the white house soon.
NO. THE LAST STATEMENT WAS NOT MENT TO BE A POLICIAL INVITE TO ARGUE. YOU HAVE PLENTY OF OTHER THREADS TO ARGUE THAT GO NO WHERE NONSENSE.
Maybe you misunderstand what the mods are here for and I think you really missed El Guapo's intentions with this post. You said you were given an infraction and moved on. Had you not received that then you may have continued with whatever got you the infraction. I don't know if it was bad attitude, posting links, whatever it was. If the Mods didn't give you an infraction then you may have kept up that behavior because you got away with it. Now you know better, which is what infractions are for. It is a warning. It is sometimes needed just to remind people that there are rules on this board. El Guapo is talking about others that get away with breaking the rules because sometimes no one is there to catch them doing it. They post spam, use foul language, get nasty with other members etc. He is not talking about having people "wrap a warm blanket around people", just keeping the boards appropriate. This is a family site. The boards are not a pleasant place to find out information if people are being rude, giving extremely false info, posting spam, using cuss words, and such. The mods are here to be sure that that stuff doesn't go on. It makes the boards nicer for those asking questions and those trying to help out.
