I have an example of this
I go t an inraction (doesn't amtter who the nmod was) in the music thread what concerts have you been to.
I simply listed the bands I've seen live, I thuoght that was ok, it would lead to no debate...there was nothing further to mention.
However I got the infraction so I PM'd the mod
he said somehting to the effect of just describe the shows a little, were the bands good etc....
even though I still thought it was a silly infraction I just left it alone.
he gave me reasoning why I got the infraction, that's the rule so whatever, It's just a froum, it's not like an infraction goes on my permanant record
I'm not intentionally trying to burst your bubble, because I like you. Don't misunderstand this.. but.. your "example" doesn't hold water. I just finished checking everywhere you've ever posted, & all 3 of the infractions you've ever received. 2 are "private" & the 3rd isn't in the music thread. Finally, the only time (to the background check's history) that you've posted remotely in the music thread, was once.
At any rate.. I'll say this much. I just combed through the entire thread on "list the concerts you've been to" or whatever it was. And you'r name isn't even in the thread. And I'm pretty sure I'd know if it got deleted, too.
Anyways, my point isn't to make you look bad, its to explain that something like that can be seen as either spam, or not. Its all in how the general majority posts. And if you look, a lot of people list nothing but bands, without anything. They weren't given infractions for it. Yet some listed maybe one or two bands.. & were given warnings, or infractions. SO.. this is what I've come up with. In situations like that, obviously we don't expect a "book" on what you loved from 10 PLUS concerts you've been too, but slight detail on maybe your favorite, would be nice. HOWEVER.. if you've only been to 1-3 concerts, I doubt theres much reason why you couldn't remember each, & explain a little about your experience. Therefore, that is considered.. spam/not spam, in my mind.
as far as the mods having issues with certain users, it could happen, I'm sure it does, however it's only if that user is being a jerk
Mods 98% of the time do not hold grudges against regular members. The 2% would only come out of something like a small group of idiots, banning together & attempting to cause a scene, at which point.. every Mod noticing that, would flock to them & destroy them.
Mainly & this is the important thing to remember here..
Mods don't have emotion. To be in the position we're in, there must not be favorites. You can't allow one person to get away with something, & then punish someone else for the exact same thing. Jonny & Jake, while they joke, are very serious with what they do.. & as such, THEY pick who is beneath them at each mod position. They don't pick out of favorites, they pick out of respect & whom they believe would be fair & just.
Should Lashley come back heel? : I think this would have been an appropriate post.
"Yes, i think Lashley should come back heel. He is a dominating wrestler that could have a certain edge to him. Maybe he could start a faction, like a new nation of domination because he is aggresive like Farrooq was."
Honestly, if "I" seen that type of post I would leave it alone. Because it gives several topics of which to discuss further, as well as stays on topic to the thread.
My ONLY disagreement with this, is I'd (personally) try to add even more detail.. such as WHY "I" felt he should start the Nation, WHY "I" felt he would have that edge, WHY "I" felt he should even return heel, instead of remaining face.
Don't misunderstand that. I already said that post (you put) would be fine.. I'm merely saying if "I" were to write something, its my belief to always try to add as much detail as possible, because THAT.. is what gives people the full ability to pick through it & discuss several points, keeping the subject ON-TOPIC, as well as adding as much discussion as possible.
I hope this has helped.
