Normally I'd accept a ban with no retort but tonight I'm feeling a bit rebellious. So I was lurking on the BBS and found this shitheads thread and decided to make parody threads mocking it. I wanted to bump them all in just the right order so that I could get a screen capture of them together and post the screen cap as the punchline.
I was banned and my parody topics were deleted. Here's the thing I don't get, I was banned for being uncontributory to the BBS, yet that fuckface DarthLeather get's a free pass for doing the exact same thing? Fuck that. The rules state that we're not allowed to do shit like bump old topics or make multiple short posts under a small time period. But that's not the reason why I was banned now was it? How often do parody threads get a free pass? Never. But really, how much of that supposed bumping actually goes on without punishment? All the time. DHT's excuse is that I posted multiple short posts in a short period of time. I say "excuse" because that wasn't his motive, it was his opening. For whatever reason, mods really fucking hate parody threads, yet we're on a website that is mostly a bunch of Flash movie parodies.
I see a few flaws with the staff team, especially in the region of the Art portal where abusive reviews and porn run rampant and despite how many people might flag a review that constitutes of "Burn in hell faggot!" the review is neglected and apparent for all to see. If I were a review mod my first target would be the art portal just because of the insane amount of rule breaking that goes on therein unchallenged. I'd even do it for free.
Of course that's the reason why I'm not a mod; whenever I report abusive content, that is content that is regarded as against the rules, such as stolen content or porn, I get told to fuck off and the content is given a free pass. Whenever I do fuck off and do my own thing I'm told to fuck off again. My point is, when stolen and malicious content gets a free pass then why shouldn't I? I've had artwork get removed from the portal because it was perv bait, but whenever I report perv bait I'm just being irrational. If fair is fair then remove this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this and this.
That's only to name a few, there's 179 pages worth of perv bait in the art portal that Mods hadn't removed. If fair is fair then I should get to do fuck all whatever really. Hell I think that in just archiving this list that I've done more work in the art portal than the art mods have.

Well.. i didnt bother looking at your links but i think you are a bit mistaken about what the staff actuallly does. Most of the bbs and moderating of the site is done by moderators, moderators are users within the community that have taken it upon their free will to 'police' the site. Naturally you'll have some mods that moderate things differently.
As for the art portal stuff. Yea theres alot of cleanup to do, it kinda spiraled out of control in some areas and its a matter of playing catch up at this point...

I would gladly moderate the art portal if you'll have me.
