If it is now officially a moderator ability that can be "abused" there should probably be guidelines. Or is everything just going to be ruled by mob mentality when they cry injustice?

I think this place is still in limbo regarding moderating.

Either have meaningful rules or don't. It seems that the rules link is now gone. But there still are remnants like the stickied post in the college football forum.

What's going on regarding this?



Real shocker here. SportAndDude (Haha, get it? Lame insult regarding name) shows up when I post. I'm really interested in knowing just how bad it hurts him that I really don't give a shit what he thinks.
Here's your protocol.

1. If someone posts something completely stupid (e.g. Breowns will make the playoffs, lol when someone dies), neg him.
2. If someone posts something that hurts your feelings because you didn't know what brunch was, don't neg him.

That's the point I was making. If it is officially deemed a moderator ability used for punishing, then there needs to be rules regarding it.

If it's not, then why are people complaining about it like it is? What's it's purpose? If it's just a simple perk, then how is him using it as he saw fit (he didn't like the comment, so he negged) a problem? As people rep when they see a comment they like.

Yes, that's what this message board needs... less people talking.

I'm glad you put so much thought into your post.

LOL at c4f. To answer your question, I have been enjoying this place much better ever since you lost your mod duties. I can have a discussion on any thread without worrying about you fapping to prematurely showing your false sense of "authority."

Continue pretending you aren't upset you lost mod status because the MAJORITY voted you out.

Well, it wasn't just LJ, it was anyone that is just a "moderator." Super Mods still have the ability.

I'm just trying to get back on topic. Aren't you always promoting that?

Your pissing and moaning has nothing to do with our fondness of brunch or disdain for hipsters.

I still don't care that I'm not a mod. It had it's perks but having to put up with dipshits like you all the time was annoying.

Ah, still on your quest to drive away anyone you deem unfit?

But what purpose does that ability serve? Is it an official punishment or not? Why even have it at all? What's the status of whether we actually have rules on this site anymore?

Yes. "Will you just stfu?" really conveyed your interest of getting back on topic. Like I said before, you really thought that post through...

No, no let the little guy think this place was better with him as a mod, and that we all LOVE when he "contributes" to a thread. It's for a good laugh.

Just as comical as him pretending he doesn't care he lost his mod status, yet he somehow always happens to appear on these type of threads with his "QQ is the place better?!!" rants.

The original intent of having neg ability was to neg idiots for posting things like "first" and for just being an idiot in general. Other than that there is no purpose. It isn't a punishment. I had no idea people would get that upset about getting negged, however.

So then why only have it for super mods at this point? If you're worried about people complaining about getting negged I say just remove it all together. Or give it to everyone and enjoy the bitch fest that will ensue?

As for the neg reps thing I agree with F4F it's pretty funny that people got so upset LJ neg'd them.

Justin I'd say just get rid of neg reps or give it to everyone and let the fun ensue! I mean we have thread banning now to deal with idiots right so is there really a point for neg reps?
