To me, the fact that the forum is highly moderated, has created an apparent site structural degenerated. For starters, there is an increasing amount of "trigger happy" mods objecting actions for the purpose of psuedo "power". I use the term "trigger happy" to mock their childish antics and ways of deleting posts, threads and "suspect" trolls due to childsih intentions. Secondly, i doubt any significant moderation is trully required in a website such as this. Granted, if you find it "offensive" that a
young black male uses terms such as "white cunt" , "white devil" "white bitch" etc as a symbolic representation of all head-less misguided white bitches who epitomizes the "ameriskanks" idealogy , then maybe you should take a chill pill, or better yet, stick your head out of your asses.
Also, what ive noticed is the level of recent plummeting in terms of "substance" on the site. I think satyricoon is doing a great job with his worn out "mama jokes", but his level of "substance" is negatively proportional to the level of intellectually quick witted WRITERS present. For example, anyone who joined the site recently would notice a guy by the name "des", who, to me, behaves as the sites "golf club", if will, to put balls like saty in place, because as i said, the higher the intellect, the less likely satyricon will make any attempt.
In reference to who i personally miss, I will admit that there are a lot of posters who post way too much-and I cannot judge a mans way of life, as such actions merely signifies a passion for their opinions. Whether these opinions are parrallel to mine is also irrelevant. As long as the post provides "substance" of some sorts, Im all for it. I dont miss anybody in particular as there is always a person ready to fill the missing seat.
Is there an "hiararcchy" of some sort??? I tend to disagree with lipsticks assessment of karma. There is no relation to his countless posts in this site representing anything close to "macho" or "alpha". From what Ive seen, he is simply very passionate in countless topics and his skills are sprinkled all over-- but then again, this applies to everyone. I will not analyze lipsticks stubborness either, because that, to me, is an issue for debate, and also highly irrelevant.
So i was gone for a while, and the main reason I took my leave was to visit south africa during the fifa world cup and never bothered reading this site (not to mention employment obligations). However, after returning I will divulge what i believe are the main problems at our disposal.
1. Trigger happy mods -- I will not name any names and even though there appears to be a few mods who really get shit done, I think the majority of them should be demoted. We need less mods but more,,,in fact many more responsible posters -- and im not refering to the popular ones who kiss ass for "reputations"(which will be discussed later)
2. Shit talkers and blabbermouths -- Theyre good in their own rights, and i think they make the site what it is. While we certanly need a *policy* to maintain order, I doubt the "police" in here are enforcing their powers legally and that , to me, is killing the entertaining "feel" of the site. Also a person is not a "troll" for asking IR based questions . To give specific examples-- this forum includes the philosophy of interracial relations between bm and ww, which should provide an activation of free thoughts from the general public, free spirits and there should be no restraint to a persons imagination
3. Reputation points as being the main governor of the so called "wwbm hiararchy" -- Contrast to the trolls who often make obtuse comments in post form, there is a high degree of senior members who use this device as attack tactics, which, is good too, however it also unveils degrees of cowardice. I also believe there is an increase number of posters who use this "rep" system to conjecture who is who on this site. I would make that error too,
if i were new. However the fact that countles "one liners" have high rep points, i think for the benefit of the board ,the powers of "reputation points" and also for the person and his/her opinions to be heard, people should atleast provide some support for their views or refrain from presenting them at all. And people should send "rep points" only based on said supports, and not merely for members that keep saying "yeah" followed by a
....lol..but thats just fishful thinking
