Who Runs or Owns CFC?

[Perfection]

They don't need to! We have a report system that people actually use!

[Camikaze]

I doubt they set out to find things to infract. They probably just infract whatever they come across that they should infract, and sift through the reported posts.

[Lefty Scaevola]

SURE CFC IS FASCIST.

That's what makes it awesome!

But that post by Pat is one of the reasons why the rule is there. If the PDMA rule hadn't been enforced, it would've turned into pages and pages of discussion. As it was, that thread died on, like, the next post. And not infracting it would just lead to more and more of the same type of thing. So, sure, you can disagree with the premise for the rule, but it wasn't a misinterpretation of the rules by the moderators. Or you could even go with the argument that it was a misinterpretation. But it's a misinterpretation that anyone who spends as much time on CFC as Pat would know of. So he shouldn't expect anything less than an infraction.

Again... common sense should be the rule, not a blind response by people who just don't get it

Don't take offense Lefty, I forget that people who haven't banished the prequel trilogy from their memory have a differing view of Vader.

I assure you, that I consider you Empire Strikes Back Vader not Sweety-turd 'lil Orphan Annie, Angsty McCan't Act, or "let me see you with my teary ass woman eyes, my son"

I wouldn't be so hasty about total pointage.

I also have 19 pages.

I have 25 pages!!!!!!!

How does it feel to be successful?

We don't have any ******* mods, because we're not a whorehouse.

Judging by the mods you do have, I'd say y'all are re-filming King of Hearts... and apparently Thunderfall from our Civ2 tribe days is the head psycho. Must admit I'm impressed he went on to own or run the place though. Btw, you make whorehouses sound like bad places Y'all should aspire to be that popular.

Well, I finally got permbanned.

******* mods

is that permanent? Yer a veteran of the place!

Ha, I just got banned for this post:

Apparently just mentioning the fact that someone is banned constitutes "discussing moderator actions."

Thats like having a 3 strikes law and sending a 21 year old off for life because he stole a pizza... Sorry Pat, I dont think you're a petty thief

I suppose nobody is supposed to care or wonder why one of the boards most prolific posters suddenly stopped visiting the board. So much for community. Down the memory hole with you

Bingo! To both...

The PDMA rules were invented specifically to prevent the user revolts that happens on Apolyton. It works pretty well and helps manage to preserve the prestige and authority of the moderators, and in addition keeps an orderly forum. And an orderly forum attracts people who would otherwise be alienated by typical internet forums.

Only actual problems occur when moderators abuse their powers, but that's kept in check by the petitioning system. Anyway, there are other outlets for CFCers to talk about moderator actions outside of the forum itself.

I'll tell you my problem, imagine you're watching a football game and some guy slugs another player. The ref turns as the guy who got slugged pushes back and throws a flag on the guy who got punched. Thats modship at CFC... My "infractions" are responses to BS, accusations I wanna commit genocide, or rape nuns, or have cats and dogs living together...

Talking about fascism in such a context is as nonsensical as telling a homeowner that he is a fascist for ordering you out of his house.

Good point

but if my neighbor ordered me out of his house because i told him the orange chair in his living room looked ugly, I'd call him a fascist.

Hmm...Better point...

Come on, Pat, be fair. You know it's against the rules. What do you expect the moderators to do?

BAN HIM!!! Uh oh, for a moment I imagined having the power. I dont expect them to ban people for mentioning someone got banned. Thats ******* nuts!

They don't need to! We have a report system that people actually use!

I'd really like to know who these people are. If I'm in a debate with someone like that, I dont wanna be in that debate. Frankly, there may be valid reasons to report people but the BS that gets reported and endorsed by the ******* mods is usually petty and hypocritical.

My apologies to those mods at CFC who aint *******

or do they lose their jobs fast?

I'm skeptical to that notion. I mean sure there might have been some cases like that, but it doesn't seem like that's some sort of systematic thing. In any case why didn't you report the other poster to the mods?

Well, I do it to people I don't like. But I like you!

It was what, a 1 point, 2 point infraction? AFAIK, you get banned when your points reach a certain limit. Pat must've been near that limit, and this pushed him over the edge. It's not like it's a ban specifically for that one thing.

[Felch]

They don't need to! We have a report system that people actually use!

WTF? Really? People use the report button?

[Camikaze]

WTF? Really? People use the report button?

That's how it works. And people use it because they actually like and abide by the rules. Shocking, I know.

[Felch]

Snitches deserve to die, and I hope they burn in Hell.

I report a crapton of people on CFC. But generally it's just for sig size violations, which isn't something mods infract upon.

What a joke...
And people thought we were bad...
