Getting tired of the mods around here... Options

[Akimbo]

This forum is so boring to visit. I really dislike the way the moderators run things here. Lately, things have been so lock-happy it's not even funny. Sometimes the topics can be decent yet Manny or Jeff will swoop in and lock things. It's getting ridiculous. I guess that's the strict rules this place has though. I just think off-topic should be a bit more relaxed. No porn or racism obviously.

Why don't you mods get a forum and make posts so you can lock them? Maybe that'll satisfy that urge.

I'm just tired of the baby-ishness of 6GC.

Mynzeyes, I wish you wouldn't have left as a moderator. But that's the way things go. I use to be really upset with this site, which was why I left for awhile. I don't know if anyone noticed, I'm not cool enough to really pay attention to. But that does bring me to point I need to make. The elite groups and little clicks on here do get annoying. I don't like the abuse of power thing. I understand the need for moderators, and I think they've done a better job keeping this place clean and nice lately. If I have to choose between getting bashed on by half the site, or just a moderator or two, I would choose just the moderators. But that leads to a lack of faith in the established rule. I don't want that. I hate police because they abuse their power. Doesn't mean that every one of them is bad, but it happens. Manny warned me once for calling him a communist. I didn't even mean it as a bad thing, but it happened. I like Manny, he is a good worker and loves his car, but that wasn't right of him. That's something that was done a long time ago, but just an example and something that bothers me. When I see him saying bad things to others, its something that doesn't set well with me. I don't mean to just pick on him, sorry Manny, even if that's what I'm doing. I like things, and I'll continue to offer my services around here. I want to say that there's nothing wrong with abusing power, but there is. I understand how people do it, it would be easy. All you have to do is ask yourself (Moderators and "Elitist" members), "Am I abusing the power that I have to exclude or push others around?" If you are, just stop. I feel no public or personal apologize are necessary. If you truly believe you are doing the right thing, the stay the course.
