Come on, just admit that you created this thread because you want to be a mod, judging from the irrational amount of concern you seem to have regarding this and the amount of effort you're putting into your posts in this thread. And that you're taking my posts personally because I responded to your OP negatively. As for my post in Susie's thread, I'm a fan of lots of bands etc. as well but I wouldn't spend money buying signed t-shirts or whatever. Some people do, fine whatever but what do you have against someone who doesn't think it's a good idea, freedom of opinion and what have you. Just the other day a recording of John Lennon drunk sold for US$30,000. If you think there's something wrong with someone saying that's a foolish thing to spend money on that then well go for it but there's a lot of charities out there that certainly could've used that money more. The guy lost some money in an investment and that's tough and I can certainly sympathize, there's a lot of threads like that here (see http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=85248) but that doesn't mean I should change my view and think people wasting their money on autographs is a wise thing. | ||

also, its about the fact that any signed shirt like that would sell for much more than its being offered. so no, that's not incredibly foolish of anyone. | ||

You are a moron btw, if you read over what you said in your second paragraph you'll see why you should let people use their money on what they want. If someone has money they deem expendable then let them use it. Who are you to put a price on something that is sentimental to a person. You also think reading neil strauss' the game is enlightening to the female mind. Good thing saying this to someone who just broke up with a girl he's dated long-term. THE GAME BLOWS YOUR MIND.

The fact that he already gets a shit load of pussy is all the more reason he'd get to fuck your girl, not a reason why he shouldn't (as you were saying). Done talking with you. Its clear you're on the lower end of the poster quality spectrum. | ||

Seriously, just check the date that Ack joined. He has been here for more than 10 times longer than you. If you haven't learned yet, when a forum newb fights a forum vet the newb always loses and you, sir, are about to be that loser. I don't even know why I'm trying to warn you away from this, I doubt you will ever contribute anything to TL.net. I guess I just feel a little bit of compassion for new posters about to run face first into a ban hammer. Edit: @Haji: Lol I should really just delete the first line so theres a blank space there. XD, I just tried it and it works. | ||

I think that closing the threads that clearly cross the stupidity line is punishment enough for that kind of offense and banning should be reserved for more serious problems. Otherwise, we all just will be forced to stand in line and fear the thought police. Not fun. There were a few calls to ban me initially when I started representing the conservative viewpoint in the election thread. I "stood out". I am grateful that moderators are more careful than the general TL public might be in who they choose to ban. + Show Spoiler + MYM.Testie : I'm amazed Savio isn't banned yet. alphafuzard : why would you ban someone for their political views? seems like a polite post if nothing else maybe im missing some history : / Savio: No there is no history. This has mostly been a pretty well mannered discussion. Most of the people who disagree with me are also putting a lot of thought into their responses and not flaming. Neither side has really paid any attention to the random flamer. I know that most people on this blog have different political views than me and thats ok. This is one of the better political discussions I have had over the internet. Clutch3 : First of all Savio, kudos to you for fighting steep odds and for continuing to make good points. Many people in your position would have given in or have been banned for flying off the handle long ago. | ||

I agree that the quality of the forum has declined, but I don't think it's entirely due to the new posters. I think some new posters get banned too quickly because of their minor offenses, to the point that we are really shooting ourselves in the foot. I think the reason why the quality is so bad these days is actually due to the increase in veterans. I actually always felt this way, but it was not really a problem before because there weren't too many veterans back in the old days. Of all the commandment rules, I think the one that people (mods and veterans) abide mostly royally to is the "Respect forum veteran" rule, to me, this is unfair. I'll follow the rules of not pointing fingers in this thread, but I'd like to say, some of the people with 5K+ posts should have been banned a long time ago, but since they have so many posts now, they are much harder to get rid of (don't worry Haji, it's your bday today, you won't get banned ). Even if you skim through this thread, all the bad posts are indeed made by people who are more known on this board.I, for example, have started to be more careless in my posts in recent times, and I have also occasionally insulted newer members (okay, some deserve it, and some really deserve it) just because I know I can get away with it (hey, if anything, I can always point to the commandment right?), but I know I am not the worst one, and there are people far worse than me. I don't know how coherent this is anymore, so I'll sum it up by saying, I think the most pressing issue is the increase in veterans who aren't great posters to begin with, and how we should deal with them. | ||

That's nice of you Sorry I'm quoting you, but you just happened to be on this page  This is exactly what I am talking about, and why I think the quality is declining. I am not saying who is right and who is wrong between wolverine and ack, I'm simply pointing out the flaws in your lines (which I think is a very good representation of a typical forum veteran).
