Yep, I'm done arguing on here about things that have nothing to do with music and arguing badly written and randomly enforced policy. Also, I'm done being insulted by a certain 'moderator'. If anyone wants to continue progressive-minded discussions (as opposed to whatever is going on here ... couldn't tell you what ...) add me on Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/ianbeabout ------------- Continue the prog discussion here: http://zombyprog.proboards.com/index.cgi ... |

But, unless you've made a total ass of yourself, you have my best for what it worth or worthless.

Here's what happens when a so-called Moderator is proven to be
inconsistently enforcing an established policy. I guess that's what
happens when someone loses an argument because they can't defend their
position: they resort to childish name-calling and insults. Read until
the end of the thread... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=73590&PN=25 I guess I'm an 'arse' because I pointed out the fact that he was selectively enforcing policy. I've never been personally insulted on this forum in my 3 years that I've been here, until now, and its from a moderator. Who's really being the 'arse' here? |

I wasn't being sarcastic. It's just the internet. The internet is amazing and changed the world, but its still just a series of 0's and 1's. Getting butthurt over it makes me laugh. No need to be offended. If someone pisses you off, just move on. It's easier to ignore someone you don't have to face everyday.

Are we inconsistently enforcing an established policy? Yes, we judge each case individually and make informed decisions that best serve the PA, its members and most importantly, the member most affected by the decision. What we do not do is blindly apply the rules - that would be consistent but it would also be indiscriminate. In the case of under 13s indiscriminate application of the rules would mean banning every member under the age of 13, that includes smartpartrol and lmaorofllollmao. Allowing all under-13s to stay is not an option.
Drawing attention to the subject of the under-13s is a really stupid thing to do - you are not fighting a cause, you are backing the PA into a corner where it will have no choice but to indiscriminately enforce the rules, that includes banning lmaorofllollmao for 9 days until his 13th birthday - and that's dumb. [I agreed with lmaorofllollmao that we could ban him for 9 days, I never said we would, and so far we haven't]. ------------- What? |

More or less. These things have pretty much lost their 'shininess' at PA. And he's not really well known around here. I was surprised to read he was a member here for as long as he's been. Being that, I don't think there was ever much hope for there being a long line of people saying 'oh nooo, please stay  ' type posts.
