Why the mods are mean.
Saved for posterity. And mocked because I felt like it.

Pretentiousness FTW!



There was a recent post in FFR that was deleted, the person who deleted it was a) a sock puppet and b) banned. Of course. However, apparently the mod tags that are so loved are not loved by everyone.

Especially not burning_cutlass.

And I do quote...

(This is where I must come in and agree with you wholeheartedly.)

Now, I'm not a member of this community, nor was I ever, but I've been mildly active in cleaning up some of the filth that it sometimes leaves behind.

Yes, the mod tags are obnoxious. In their execution, they are a mark of childishness -- blurting out insults and rude phrases in a sloppy manner. Sure, some of the posts they get placed on do lack merit, but why? Because these posts are obnoxious and rude in their execution, am I right? Therefore, why do the mods see fit to retaliate these posters with obnoxious and rude comments of their own? As far as I've been taught, two wrongs still don't make a right.

And if I may, using a sock puppet in order to protect your true internet identity from flamers and other such scum is no crime, especially not when you make it clear that you're doing so. The problem with this community lies with the sect of its members who see fit to go out of the community's bounds to attack people's personal accounts, which is exactly why this poster in particular is using a sock puppet. Yes, a sock puppet can be frowned upon if it is being used as a tool to attack without fear of consequence, but as an admitting shield and doing no harm, there is very little reason to feel threatened by it.

I have to wonder how in the world this individual has to clean up after the community? Seriously, wtf is he/she/it even talking about? Not a mod that I know of. Even still, mods don't clean up shit when people behave badly on ze comm and have their asses handed to them on a silver platter.

Which returns me to the point of sock puppetry. If you feel the need to post using a sock puppet because you are SO afraid of people's reactions to what you plan on posting... perhaps you should heed that inner voice and, oh I dunno, NOT POST IT TO FFR.

By god you'd think there were no other ranting communities out there.
