HA! Funny, man. Real funny. A family...oh God. I think I'm gonna die laughing.keiichi87 wrote:i agree with earthcurrent and KhayotiK's ideas. if we had a set of rules, man.. this forum wouldn't be much fun. i think it works best when MODs get to edit posts and the such as their own discretion. Nobody wants (especially the n00bs) to be treated like dirt I mean.. Phade chooses them, right? And this is his web site, not ours, even if we are a tightly-bound community.
i'm not against the MODs anyway, cuz they leave my concise, non-violent posts alone.
besides, if they do anything oppressive or that displeases us, we can always leave a message for Phade and he'll take care of it.
Let all just get along. "Cuz when you're at the the Org, you're FAMILY."
(Which I'm sure some of you are hoping will happen, or at least the dying part)
I honestly doubt Phade would do anything. Even if I liked the forum ALOT, I wouldn't leave it to Phade to discipline the mods. I have a feeling it's like a junkyard: The owner leaves the dogs to do what they want and all he needs to know is he's still the "master" of the place. This is the best way I can put it, anyways.
As for the whole OPEN mods thing, it's a system that works better. I have proof if you want the link, though I won't post it until you ask. I mainly go to a forum where the mods actually take part, OPENLY, in the forums, almost like normal members. They simply have administrative powers. Of course, it would still fall apart here without the one single most important factor: Phade. In the situation that he tries this, he too must take at least SOME part in the forums, allowing people to know him better and get to the point of forming a friendship so people won't want to disobey the rules. Trust me, it'd probably make things run smoother. Look at cold war Russia for more proof.
Of course, this is all opinion and you can choose not to believe it.
