why are moderators so strict?

Bindrah. What a perfect banned name!

Don’t make me laugh.

Oops, too late.

Dear God, please use the shift button. Its looks like this [Shift], and it right under thr [Caps Lock] button.

Unless this is the e.e. cummings newbie bot- then post on my robotic brother!

:wink:

Yeah, but we’re not suffering you gladly, JC. We’re just suffering.

Because it keeps our wonderful community from being polluted by stupid bandwidth sucking shit that doesn’t belong.

Seriously. Read the advice here. You’re misusing these boards. Each forum has a very specific purpose. This is not a Usenet-style free-for-all. If you’re going to participate here, you need to understand the environment and follow the rules. This is not an anarchy. It is highly structured, and we like it that way.

And if you insist on continuing to, metaphorically, shit on the living room and cook over the furnace, I will cross my fingers that the appropriately strict moderators do exactly what they don’t get appreciated enough for doing.

Don’t be a troublemaker. Get to know us, and be a contributor. It’s a win-win situation.

In the living room.

Don’t mind me. I’ll just be re-roofing the television.

Here it goes again from tomndebb with the pontificating oral diarrhea. He/she typically types lots and says little, but is hypercritical of others. I’m sure that I’m not the only one that thinks that he/she thinks way too much of their intellect.
Hey tomndebb, “Lighten Up”, this is a message board not a typing class.

Chanticleer, a quick scan of your posts indicates that you should be prostrating yourself and wearing sackcloth when typing tomndebb’s username.

He’s close, Manhattan. He’s prostating himself.

exactly, tomndeb, fuck off. i’m not looking for a grade on how i type. also, i do not need a board that is more in tune with me this one is just fine. i’ve been here a few months and make one mistake last night and look at how quickly i get talked to like i’m some silly kid starting shit. i’ screwed up and all i wanted to know is why i was being threatened with being banned over posting in a wrong forum. i enjoy this site and if any of you have seen anything i’ve ever posted i’m rather kind and try to be helpful. last night was the first time i’d ever even been to the bbq pit. i generally dont like shit talking over the net.
i see the need for moderators, but not strict overbearing pricks that worry over things such as capitalization. i’m sure my point is still getting across.
to anyone else, thanks for the info, and to you snmartass pricks looking to talk shit to someone, you can buzz off. seriously , i dont deserve that and its lame. for the record i’m not a child, i have two children.
lets just end it, its really a silly misunderstanding…Again I must state, i wasnt TRYING TO BE A JERK!!! I SIMPLY POSTED MY MESSAGE TWO MORE TIMES THAN I WANTED TO. I JUST DID NOT REALIZE IT POSTED THE FIRST TIME. SHEESH. WHY DONT YOU TRY TO STOP BEING SO HATEFUL…

Here’s hoping you don’t abuse prescription medicine nor “enjoy recreational use of pot” in front of them.

Where on Earth would we get that idea?

Well that’s just great, elf6c, thanks so much. Bindrah found the [Caps Lock] button.

:eek:

Bindrah, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that your little episode last night occurred while you were stoned into near catatonia. If you recall (which you may not) your triple thread in GQ attempted to start a discussion on the best way for recreational prescription drug users to cut out the middle man. You then started some bizzare GQ thread about anger control and another thread in GQ complaining about having your drug threads closed.

For an encore, you staggered over to the BBQ pit to open not one, but two, threads demanding to know why the moderators wouldn’t let you treat GQ as your personal litter box.

Your antics were mildy amusing while you were on your binge. Now they’re not.

Hmmmm

:dubious:

Well, if your point is that you’re lazy, not too bright, and barely literate, then yeah, message received.

You can take this advice or leave it, but when I see a post with no capitalization, bad spelling and punctuation, and no paragraph structure, I’m not impressed. Usually, I don’t even bother to read such a post, but when I do, it’s only to laugh at the dumbass who posted it.

If you can’t take the trouble to compose your thoughts so that they’re readable, it’s not worth my time to read them. It’s a matter of courtesy, as far as I’m concerned.

No, you’re obviously not the only moron incapable of recognizing sage advice when it’s gently offered to them. Pearls before swine, and all that.

I sure don’t get this post. I’m a newbie here too, about a month newer than Chanticleer. When I first started surfing the board, one of the first names that I began recognizing was tomndebb–partly because he (? IIRC) was posting in quite a few of the same threads that I was interested in, but mostly because his messages were consistently educated, thoughtful, and readable. And maybe I am missing something, since I mostly hang around GQ and CS, but I have never seen “hypercritical” from tomndebb. I look forward to seeing his posts because it usually means that I am about to learn something interesting. So why the hostility, Chanticleer?

Holy fuck!:eek:

Bindrah, you are one fucked up individual.

No shit.
He beats a man almost to death with a pipe and claims that he was put in prison because of reverse descrimination.

There’s also this one:

Doesn’t sit well with the comment above:

** Bindrah**, in a fairly short period, you posted the following in General Questions:

  1. impulse control and stress question… 03-12-2003 07:39 PM Either a poll (s/b IMHO) or a request for personal advice (s/b MPSIMS).

  2. anyone like to abuse prescription medicine(painkillers)? 03-12-2003 07:48 PM Poll (s/b IMHO) about a prohibited subject on the SDMB.

anyone like to abuse prescription medicine(painkillers)? 03-12-2003 07:48 PM Poll (s/b IMHO) about a prohibited subject on the SDMB.

  1. discussion of illegal drug use…look here… 03-12-2003 08:32 PM Whiny complaint (s/b BBQ Pit) indicating that after five months you still have not bothered to discover that:

  2. illegal drug questions are discouraged
    and

  3. complaints about Moderators belong in the Pit.

  4. is bibliophage always rude when a simple mistake is made? 03-12-2003 08:35 PM Snarky complaint about Moderator (who had not actually been rude) (s/b BBQ Pit) without even waiting for a response to your previous thread.

You then opened this thread to whine some more, despite having the previous thread already moved here for your enjoyment. Further, you continue to pretend that the issue the Moderators had with you was a triple post. With the way the board has been behaving, recently, I am pretty sure that no one really cares about a triple post. The actual issue was clearly your persistent posting of four separate threads (one of which was coincidentally tripled) all in the wrong Forum.

Were my comments about capitalization and so forth a bit sarcastic? Sure. On the other hand, I did give you the out that you were simply in a hurry. I was not commenting on your posting skills so much as your need to express your hostility. (You are the one who posted that you were just too lazy to conform to normal grammar and style.) (I am hardly a jackbooted S&G cop, as a review of my interaction with other posters will demonstrate.)

Aside from the rather mild teasing, I have not beaten you up or condemned you: I have suggested that taking the time to learn the board rules that have already been made available will make your life, here, more pleasant.

Suit yourself, however.

Ok. I see and understand what is being told to me. I m an idiot. Ferrous, thanks for the slap in the face, i truly needed it. I am very literate and bright, but I’m also high on painkillers so my thoughs are a bit muddled and hazy.
Truth Seeker, I imagine I do seem a tad bit dumb. However, I cannot see what antics I’m up to tonight, none thus far. I will admit that last night was not a good night to have been trying to post on this site.
For the record I do not use drugs in front of my children and I do not act as ridiculous as I post. In all honesty I feel rather silly and childlike. I apologize for wasting space and in the future promise to only post what is worthwhile and interesting.
(in the voice of forrest gump) i’m sorry I acted like a retard in your straightdope webspace…(this poorly planned out shot at humor in an attempt to cover up how embarrased I am shall be overlooked I hope). I apologize.Please accept…
