One thing we gotta remember: this ain't our forum. We're just visitors.
We don't call the shots, we don't make the decisions.
Our opinion of how it's run means zilch. Ain't no democracy.

I used to hang on a forum where the inmates stole the asylum and took over.
Wasn't pretty. They didn't like what the OWNER of the site was doing so the moderators and a few close friends decided it was their forum and TOOK it.
Lost several Friends over that BS.

Iffn we don't like the rules we can go elsewhere.
Iffn we don't agree with the moderators we get a full refund of our subscription price (nuthin).
The people who run these forums put up with a lot of crap but they show an incredible amount of patience and are not heavy-handed. Sometimes I think they put up with too much but again, that ain't my call.

Sure the moderators get paid $millions to baby-sit us but just like NBA players, sometimes that isn't enough.

It's hard to push them too far. When they beotch-slap one of us we prolly had it coming for a looooooong time and we usually asked for it.
Gotta test their patience over and over and over before the give us the boot.
The rules are clear. I've come close to pushing the limit more than once by coming off as an A-hole but I "think" I know where that line is and respect em enough to not try to cross it just to see what will happen.

Iffn i ever go too far and get slapped I'll be the first to admit I had it coming.

Howz that fer sucking up? Think I can post pron and get away with it now?

j/k, I'll be the last to pull that stoopid stunt. There's plenty of pron on the inter-webs, don't need it here.
