Hey, I tried to extend an olive branch...

And as for the comment on the review, I would gladly talk about it.

If this really got your panties all in a bunch, then maybe you are too weak-minded to handle this tough business.

[Austin Ellen]

Oh no - I don't want your olive branch. Let me very clear here - I don't like you. You are the biggest hypocrite on this board. Just keeping it real.

At least he's not a lying rumor monger. Unless, of course, your last name starts with "T" and ends with "p". Apparently you're fair game then.

Just because he whips your ass with facts every time you try to defend a worthless, dumb, ignorant asshole who cannot be defended doesn't make him a hypocrite.

And what's the only reply you can give?

"Well... well...we won and you didn't"

You sound just like me Cap'n..... You believe there is an issue with a whore so the gloves come off..... So what we have is NOT any difference in approach just a difference in opinion of what constitutes a real issue....

So, is this comedy or mud wresting?

In line with the title of this thread, I do not understand the secret point system behind the guideline violations.

How many points before someone is banned?
Does each guideline have a point value associated with it?
How long do points last?
Can a mod be bribed to eliminate points or to assign extra points to others?
Can someone to pradesh points with other members?
Do mods ever get points assigned to them?
Can a mod from a different location assign points to anew Atx member?

This is another insightful topic brought up by Whispy.

Evidently there are also "guidelines" to how and when the points are given.
How many points before someone is banned? The System automatically bans you for 90 days at 25 points.
Does each guideline have a point value associated with it? I don't think so. Some subjects, like kids/drugs earn 10 points. Thread hijacking 5 points. I don't know if that is for everyone but those are examples based on points I've been given.
How long do points last? They seem to be 3mos, 6mos and some are "forever" points meaning they don't fall off till you hit 25 and get autobanned at which time you reset to zero.
Can a mod be bribed to eliminate points or to assign extra points to others? LOL... Really? I don't think so however MODs do tend to protect some lady friends issuing points as Sl is finding out in Vegas it seems.
Can someone to pradesh points with other members?
Do mods ever get points assigned to them?
Can a mod from a different location assign points to anew Atx member? Of course if you are posting in their area but if it is a post in an Austin Forum it is frowned on and can be reversed on appeal usually.... At least that has been my experience

Answers are based on my personal experiences.

Well, I gotta admit I like mud wrestling. And when I did it- it was more sensual then actual wrestling. And throw in the laughs - it's a blast.

And see, isn't that a problem with the rules and guidelines? For once, Whispers, you brought up an insightful post that didn't involve brute language. Even you, and I say that because you have 18,000+ posts and not to be insulting, don't fully understand the guidelines and that is an issue. It seems that there is a subjectivity to the enforcement of the rules that can strike some as unfair. This would be a great time for a moderator to step in and clarify their understanding of the guidelines.

Nice post

"It seems that there is a subjectivity to the enforcement of the rules that can strike some as unfair."
I got called a cunt and who knows if SL got pointed or not.I certainly didn't run like a little bitch and slap the RTM button.
Another poster called SL/Whispers both "assholes" and got pointed for it.They prolly both hit the RTM button...
Look,they are special little snowflakes here and they push the envelope and get away with it.
"This would be a great time for a moderator to step in and clarify their understanding of the guidelines."
It'll be double talk.
Whispers openly has bragged here about taking a gal to a mod's casa for a soiree and her mixing it up with attendees.
He also has said that over the years the mod and he have gone on "double dates".
C'mon now,tell us he doesn't get quite a bit of wiggle room in the mod's interpretation of the "guidelines".
Just sayin'...

You see Z's post as a wk for SL and myself? I see it as explanatory of his and other MODs actions......

Anytime Guidelines are not enforced the way people tend to believe they should be enforced it is determined that it is because the staff and the purported offender(s) are close friends or someone is getting paid off or given favors.

Perhaps if everyone that had an opinion that I was crossing lines could equally complain that Staff does not censor those that break the same quoted guidelines daily in their stalking and attacks on both SL and myself you might start to understand more....

The problem is that NONE of you raise a complaint about others.

Have you ever really looked? The mandle Observing for example. Look at the historical use of the mandle and you can see it is clearly used to stalk mine and SL's posts as well as crosses each and every guideline the two of you have mentioned.

I do not come close to expressing my dislike for others to the manner in which some people enjoy dissing me. I take far more than any of those I post opposing opinions of....

But you are NOT calling for Moderation of the Forums in regards to the Guidelines. What you really want is the selective enforcement of guidelines of a few with opinions you do not care for.

Maybe it is easier for staff to give everyone a pass on some things than the amount of work required to bring everyone into line?

I post in other cities on the board in the same manner as I do here in Austin and stay within the guidelines there. It's one set of Guidelines for the entire website.... They are the same everywhere....

A few years ago I was not remotely as harsh in my criticism of others as I have become...... That was born in how freely others were allowed to attack me on a personal level. It is very childish the manner in which most people tend to attack others..... It is most often personal in nature.....

For example: I point out that a provider has shared personal information with others and the responses are that I am a disgusting old fat man complete with images.....

Very few here can make a point or debate a subject. Most are too emotional and childish.... The Cap'n has proven how quickly he lost the ability to logically discuss a subject recently...

If you want Guidelines enforced perhaps you need to expand your base of offenders and provide a more wide ranging example of where the offenders are.....

It used to be a rather enjoyable game in the past..... Pushing someone's buttons in a thread with logic and facts that they lacked the ability to remain impartial about.... They would sink to lower levels and attack personally and "point out" quickly returning with a new attitude....

That has been gone for a long time..... I would not mind seeing you have some success in bringing back some civility to the forums...... We could get rid of quite a few people around here by doing so.....
