Sal's really has seemed to become a dictatorship over the past few weeks and months. Without going into detail, a friend of mines posts in a part of the forum was deleted because she got flamed. Now, she got given a warn level unchanged, but she also didn't do anything. I won't share my latest warn, but you'll probably notice that Lady seemingly double posted on a thread.

Why delete all these posts that are being made? I think Mods are becoming too paranoid and trying to play happy families, because you know sure as hell some of us don't like each other. We shouldn't have to hide that.

I wasn't being sarcastic. Anyway.

Sal's needs reform! I propose that we give mods a new set of things that can be warnable or unwarnable for! Yes, we have the rules, but part of those rules aren't "Don't respond to flamers" or "Don't be rude to people who steal images".

I don't think it's extreme to say that Sal's mods are like the Chinese government.

I would pull a Cool Story Bro on this thread but I totally agree with you!
WE MUST REFORM!
And I better get something good out of this reform....
*hint*Black Phat Pip Please!*hint*

Vote for me Admin 09' and I'll give reform, if you post a double post I'll be sure you get a fair trial and the post will not be deleted!!!!

Wat. When did I double post?

And so the truth reveals itself.

Gillis for admin '09!

Scrum was saying it looks like you double posted when you didn't because the post in between was deleted.

Thanks, that's what I meant

So it was a possible bad pruning job, and the mod could've merged the posts but missed that.... But if she got a warn or even a verbal for it she could've just pointed that out. Any mod would remove that immediately...That doesn't mean you need to start an uproar about it. I've got a warn level unchanged for posting in a topic that someone bumped 5 or 6 posts before me, but does it really matter since it doesn't change the warn level?

I wasn't moaning about Lady's circumstance, she didn't get punished because she did nothing wrong, as far as I know.

You are free ...

You are free to do, as we tell you.

What? Responding to flamers is usually flaming (otherwise it wouldn't be against any rule!). Why specify to not be rude to a certain category of people when the rules say that thou shalt not be rude PERIOD?

Warned wrongly? PM the mod who did. The mod says "IM HITLR LOL"? PM an administrator. The administrator is all like "AND IM AHMADINEJAD LOLZ"? PM Salmoneus (or another admin). It's...extremely rare for a dictatorship to have a three-tier guarantee.

Problem: a person flaming usually provokes at least one person flaming back (not to mention that it gets reported multiple times even after being solved!), and those people flaming back are warned as well. Deleting offending posts isn't such a terrible thing.

If she flamed a flamer than she's not much better than the flamer at all, there's a nifty little report button there which may warn the poster, but if you respond to them it'll just escalate.

Deleting Posts is necessary because this way a Flame War won't occur, the Mods may edit the post but if the whole post is a Flame to a different poster than the correct action to do is delete the post.

You don't have to hide that you don't like a poster, nobody said that you have to. Insulting the poster, though, is much different than saying you don't like him/her. Mods are doing what they were assigned to do, moderate the forum.

I prefer the way the forum works and it's fine as it is. Responding harshly to flamers makes you a flamer and just ignites the Flame even more.

Saying that Sal's is a communist forum and like the Chinese government is a bit extreme to say, the mods here are actually pretty fair if you ask me.

Man needs to stop being lazy, go green, and fulfill his destiny to become an Admin, like his father before him.

Peace, Justice, and Love '10.

SALS MODS ARE LIKE THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Lol, privately run forum, sorry dude.
