Untouchables

[Polaris]

My 2 cents.

I like Chairman Mao. Therefore I will post.

If it was some negative miserable fuck, I wouldn't care, but Mao was a good poster, with info and opinions.

TERB has a caste system.

Mods on top. Advertisers next. Good posters next. Bad posters on the bottom. That is the TERB caste system.

I would say, 95% of the responses so far in this thread come from the third caste, the good poster at TERB.

So what is my point?

Look at the classes, Mods, Advertisers, Good posters, bad posters.

Just ask yourself, why do you visit TERB? Are the Mods that interesting? The bait & switch ads are awsome! You love listening to internet losers with personal issues biatch and moan?!?

And a good poster got his arse banned.

That blows.

Long Live Chairman Mao!

I totally agree - why not have a thread that updates who and why someone has been banned. In some cases it's pretty obvious but others leave a few questions.
Mods - any response?

I agree also, if the process was not so secretive, it would be more credible. I got in trouble once for mentioning a fact about an untouchable. It was 100% true, and not in dispute, and I had no way of knowing that it was forbidden. If they would publish a list of who is untouchable, it would be more obvious who was intentionally misbehaving, and it would be easier to not get punished.

Strongbeau, Sheik and Fred...

What IS the chance of starting a thread so we are able to see who is banned, for what reason(s), and for how long. It would certainly take the speculation out of it. Might prove a good warning system for others as well. I'll bet some thought has already been put into this. Is there a reason it is kept secretive?

Just curious. Thanks.

Shit, a moment too late.

Advertisers (even prominent and well-known agencies or independents) and even moderators have been suspended, sometimes permanently banned.

I love Mao to death, I think he's one of our best posters, and have said so on the board. But he was warned by the mod team, didn't desist, and therefore was suspended. When you get a warning, you need to listen.



Except maybe for the board owner, there are NO untouchables on the board. Period.

Sorry dude, I have to say your reply is total bullshit.

Chairman Mao was warned by the powers that be at this forum. Like a good fellow, he resisted, and was banished, prehaps forever. At least, that is the story now.

The important point for myself, and I am sure others are interested too, is not whether Mao was warned and/or did he or did he not comply.

The point of contention should be the warning, whether the warning was reasonable or not.

The message is loud and clear. The mods are the sole arbitrators of what is deemed reasonable or not at this forum.

We're all adults here, but petty arguements, disagreements, and suddenly the mods treat you like a five old year - "Go sit in the corner Chairman Mao"!

Hey, it's your forum. Do whatever you want.

Thank you.

You know ...

" British like??"

What kind of slur do you mean by that.

Nancy Boys, but with insufferable arrogance - got a mirror handy??

 

[y2kmark]

Excellent observation ...

Here on TERB it's a bit more like the Court of Star Chamber, or Lubyanka Square someone disappears in the middle of the night and you're not really sure quite what happened to them.

Though 1984 is what first came to mind for me.

Sorry, 'dude', but your comments are the bullshit.

TERB's guidelines are posted. In the lounge. On top. In a sticky. And you think people should be warned?

Hundreds of thousands of posts. Thousands of users. A small handful of mods. Do the math. There's not enough time to coddle.

Mao was around for years. "I didn't know" won't cut it with him or anyone else. As I recall, he even announced that he thought he might get suspended for posting. What would be the point of a warning?

You're right about one thing. We're all adults. Act like one and I'm quite sure you'll never be banned. Act like a five-year-old and I'm sure you'll be treated like one.

What happens in PM stays in PM . Using correspondence in PM to launch a public attack is not acceptable by any standards . If you are attacked in the public forum then by all means have at it in the public forum . However if you are jousting in PM then suck it up and keep it one on one . Keep the big reveal bullshit to yourself . We don't need to know Sp's true feelings toward clients as SP's don't need to know clients true feelings towards SP's . Both sides have people who's feelings range from hate to love but it shouldn't make a difference to your paid for encounter .

Now if you actually have a date with the lady and it turns out badly due to her attitude then you should publicize it for the benefit of the community .

Superfuckenficial is the word of the day . Keep it light so we can enjoy their bodies and they can enjoy our money . No need to complicate a good thing .

Oh I forgot some of you guys will be offended because I forgot to mention you also enjoy their minds . Ok . It's said .

Those kinds of lists lead to endless, useless debates on why a specific member is banned, waste bandwidth, and require too much mod effort to maintain and answer.

Strongbeau, it's your call. However, they don't seem to "waste anymore bandwith" on MERB than is "wasted" here in TERB. Merely the title and the head of the thread is diffrent. Plus the Mods could easly say no posting other than by the Mods.

The fact is that many comments/threads/posts/posters disappear and rightly so.

But most only take notice when it's someone 'high profile.'

If you could see what goes on behind the scene you would find that, in fact, the mod team does a remarkable job of being fair and consistent.

and they keep the clubhouse free of snakes.

He he he....

I'm pretty sure the thread your mentioning disappeared because of the non-sequiter it went on, not the origional comment.

this was the maya blue thread? I guessed I missed what happened.

MTT will be back, I hope.

Protectionism does exist.
