Official Reinstate Low-Hz Vote/Poll

[MikeofTulsa Moderator]

alot of us lobbied for mods. but when goob decided to make it a popularity contest, it kinda defeated the purpose. why? just as you pointed out, nothing really changed, it actually got worse. and i believe more people left AFTER mods were instituted then before.

and it's the same today. mod nominees are determind by post count. and then voted on by the general forum. so, wh0re away, make friends and viola', your a mod. yeah, real nice system there. going to really snag the people who are mature enough to be mods. though, to be honest, it has grabbed a few good ones.

again, in the end, goob doesn't care enough to really institute change. so it's up to the individual members and mods to conduct themselves in a proper manner. and with the below average maturity level here, it isn't happening. bit(h all they want, it's not a democracy here. things aren't changing until those involved want too. and why change it if you got the power? it'll always be about the clicks and efriends and nothing more, or less. toss in the routine forum boner, and you have caraudio.com.

take it or leave it.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/peace.gif.2db28b618ed8d1964ebbe2f5021d2c39.gif

unfortunatly its true.

It's sad that the above, in its entirety, is true.It is sadder still to be able to say that with any degree of honesty.

mrray13, more or less since I became a member here I have been lobbying for across-the-board, fair (no favoritism) enforcement of the rules.

Everytime I see someone get bounced for this reason or that while other, seemingly more popular [with the right people at any rate] members are allowed to do the exact same thing that someone else just caught a vacation for I will usually pitch a small fit and argue that what's good for the goose should as well be good for the gander.

Oddly it seems I'm the only one that ever sees it that way.

Nobody cares about the rules until they become a convenient mechanism to get rid of someone who has made themselves unwelcome. Outside of that? Those that continually crow (when it becomes convenient to do so) about TOS violations clearly demonstrate regularly that they do not care in the least about such things at the end of the day.

I think the irrefutable hypocrisy in that is both astounding in its scope and somewhat insane that it regularly gets defended!

I've come to the conclusion that it simply isn't going to happen regardless of how much I may wish it would or believe that it should.

It isn't going to deter me from trying every once in awhile but I'm not holding my breath that any degree of real change will be instituted here. Those that have the power see no real issues with the status quo and as long as that is the case the status quo will continue to be maintained. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

C'est la vie, I suppose...

i tried to make a difference.

goob wouldnt even read this thread unless it was effecting his click count //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

i fear this is true

ya know, you could of saved yourself some time in typing that by just posting "the mods dont give a ****":laugh:

thats not entirely true, i care somewhat, not like i used to tho. you can thank all the drama for that.

if you are really snova, post your ip thing under this username. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
i however think it's someone else

I'll let the suspense build.

If another mod wants to do an IP check, they'll see who I am.......

unfortunatly its true.

Yup.

i tried to make a difference.

I know you did, Mike. Sadly for the most part you got no return for your troubles outside of massive grief from the moderation staff and other forum participants alike.

As you well know I didn't agree with everything you did and was one of the ones more than happy to call you on something I felt was awry.

Having said that, though, I will happily recognize that you did, in fact, make that attempt and got nothing but criticism for your efforts.

i fear this is true

That's another thing that chaps my hide. If someone has a dispute with the actions of this mod or that mod the general "solution" is to tell the member in question that if they have a problem with *whatever it is* to take it up with Goob.

If you guys have such a hard time getting in contact with the site Admin then how in Hades are normal forum members supposed to fare any better in that regard?

He's an absentee landlord. I cannot say with real certainty that there was never a time that he actually cared about the site. I wasn't around in the beginning. The sad truth is that at best he hasn't shown any degree of concern since I've been a registered member here...

thats not entirely true, i care somewhat, not like i used to tho. you can thank all the drama for that.

Again - sad but true.

So, what should I do...

Prowler... Mrray...Icetee... etc?

You see a double standard... point it out to me... either publicly or via PM.

I actually give a shit, despite what people think, and I've been around here since near the beginning. Unfortunately, I am addicted to this place, it's my home //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif.

So, if you want to point anything... ANYTHING out to me... let me know... and I'll sure as hell try to take care of it or correct it.

I agree, especially when the mods, specifically ngsm, get away with a ton of post dumping and just create a generally bad atmosphere for new people...people ask simple noobish questions and you deliberately slam on them and have probably turned many people away from this site. I know noob questions get old but a simple, "use the search" comment is better than most of the stuff you say...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

i also like jntar's excuse on deleting that thread for my rude and hateful posts. if he deleted every thread i posted in with rude and hateful posts, i wouldn't have any ****ing posts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Hmmph.

I had this very long drawn-out reply typed out and it ended up exceeding the maximum individual post character limit.

No matter how much I complain it still doesn't change (as evidenced by past goings-on) so....there it is.

I'll still be here. I'll still voice my opinion when I see things that strike me as absolute, utter BS....but I'll not hold my breath as far as any widespread changes taking affect. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
