A couple of years ago the mods sounded like nice, intelligent people.<br /><br />I'd like to see a graph comic that showed the retards creeping in.

Malethoth: I have frequented gamefaqs since 2001. You are right about the rules being crazy strict there, though I don't think it is a necessarily bad thing. In my opinion, for the most part it keeps the community in line and discussion civil, especially compared to some of the spinoffs that exist (luelinks for example)<br /><br />That being said, I must wholeheartedly agree that the one good thing about the site is relative consistency. It gets messed up when new mods are first chosen, but for the most part, the site is moderated consistently and there is at least a form of recourse to complain to a higher up mod or admin if there are problems.marsman57https://www.blogger.com/profile/11599110941743021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-33832559837701243972010-03-24T07:32:53.721-07:002010-03-24T07:32:53.721-07:00Also note the current title of the rules thread: &...Also note the current title of the rules thread: "xkcd Forum Rules - Post GoatKCD, Get Banned".

I've been banned! I did not even see that post saying they would capriciously ban people on a admin fiat about it. I don't know why, but it made me really really angry. I shot off a quick e-mail pointing out that I only read the original post of the topic (why would I want to read pages and pages of people circle jerking how good this mod madness thing is?). I was actually mad enough to send the following to Randall's contact address on his "blag". I am sure he doesn't give a shit, but I had to at least let him know that his forum mods (oh should I say "gods") are asshats. BTW - I tried to keep it civil and maybe even sucked up a little bit in order to curry favor and get him not to dismiss my claim because I "made him mad".<br /><br /><br />Here it is:<br />I am almost certain that this has no weight in your life and that you probably won't care enough to do anything, but as your forums are representative of you, I feel that I must write you about this.<br /><br />Currently, the mods on your forum are running some sort of "Mod Madness" where words are replaced by other words. A few of these replacements were mildly offensive to me (mod->god, God->Jehova for example) and in general I think it is just stupid and not very much fun in my personal opinion.<br /><br />I did not get very angry though and simply posted "This is pretty much dumb". Your admin then BANNED me from the forum for this. Apparently, somewhere buried in the topic, he said he would ban people who did not kowtow to their whims.<br /><br />I just cannot believe that I do not have the freedom to protest the worthiness of something on the xkcd forums. I thought xkcd as a concept was supposed to be all about it being okay to be different and have different opinions. I could see a ban if I were trolling people hard, but I just said "this is pretty much dumb". I guess I could justified my opinion more, but it doesn't seem to matter to your power hungry forum leaders who write tripe like:<br /><br />"OK, that's three. Complainers, whingers and absurdly indignant killjoy assclowns are now subject to bannination for the duration of Mod Madness without further warning at my discretion. My whim, actually. Especially if the complaint appears in this thread where I am really really likely to see it. I don't care about annoying people with word filters this week. I understand and accept that some of you find it annoying. And I don't care. Shut up and let the mod staff have some fun for a few days."<br /><br />There is nothing fun about being banned. He didn't even remove the post I made for goodness sake. He is just enforcing a totalitarian yes-man regime where only those who are willing to pretend like the mods are oh so funny and witty and great because they were given some meaningless web authority are allowed to have fun.<br /><br />I would appreciate if you reprimanded your administrators for this behavior and got my account reinstated immediately.marsman57https://www.blogger.com/profile/11599110941743021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-32731367587605799472010-03-24T04:48:21.391-07:002010-03-24T04:48:21.391-07:00Carl why must you be spreading communist-nazi lies...Carl why must you be spreading communist-nazi lies to the youth of America?
