Every mod will have their own opinions and feelings with any given topic and will act according to their own morals.
Instead it should be consistent.
I’ve said some severely questionable things here and not once been pinked.
Exactly my point made here.

While I was pinked over a meme. It just doesn't make sense to me why the spectrum should be different for you than it is to me. mods should be on the same page, and not have a renegade in their midst being trigger happy and maybe causing these types of freak outs.

100% agree. When I posted other places, the inconsistency would piss me off. I thought "man, it can't be that hard" but after doing this, I realize now it isn't as easy as I thought. Me personally, I can't be on here nearly as much as I used to, so a lot of times, I jump on click a couple of threads that look interesting, and then get back to work or whatever. Recently I'm seeing maybe 5% to 10% of posts made per day, so unless people use the report function, it's likely I'm not going to catch it. When I do see something, I try to take everything into consideration. The context, the history of the poster (are they great 99% of the time and maybe having a bad day, for example), is it a back & forth where a couple posters are giving as good as they get, etc, etc. So it's tough. Sorry if you feel like you got the wrong end of it at some point broham.

Never by you, Splinter, or Birdieboy.

Like Thugmeister said, you are on of the most fair of the bunch. Had an infraction I totally understood why I was being pinked. But when you have to wonder... makes no sense of posting and being part of the fun. It's why I stepped back for a while.

Good mods are hard to find I get ya, but the three of you at least to a splendid job.

I have no idea what criteria the mods use. When I referred to “questionable things” I’ve said, they always came after another member attacked me personally and I responded.

I understand why people would like to know the lines that cannot be crossed but I have no idea how those lines could be set. But, I also think the members prior behaviour should be taken into consideration before an action is taken.

What do you think should be pinkable offences?

Not memes brosef
Are you talking about ones that are found elsewhere or custom tailored to offend a specific target?

I would be inclined to let both go but can see how you can still easily cross a line even in memeform.

I get what you're saying but being "offensive" these days is such a wide spectrum these days. You say yes or no to memes. of course, unless blatantly racist and the like. But remember, memes are satire.

They can be. I'm just pointing out how that if someone wanted to take them too far that they easily could. Cunts can be cunts in all formats.

I believe the original intention of memes was satirical, but they are much more widespread now and can be used in a malicious way.

The offensiveness of something is highly varied from person to person. Whereas some Jews are highly offended by Jew jokes, I am not so much.

In regards to mods, here's an excerpt of a post I made a few months back in a different thread:

I've been pinked quite a few times. A few times I've deserved it, a few times it was questionable, and a few times it was complete bullshit, but I never considered taking my ball and going home.

The mods here are pretty fair. I've gotten annoyed with Leigh @Leigh at times, but the guy mods pretty objectively. Sometimes I don't agree with his decisions, but more often than not he's right and I'm wrong.

La Paix @BirdWatcher used to hate me. Now I can't get him to lose my number. He texted me the other day and I replied "new number who dis?" but even that didn't work.

Splinty @Splinty is as fair as they come. I can say a lot of bad things about him (from Texas, annoying Trumptard gimmick, was willing to let his wife get hit by traffic after he sprinted across a street in Miami Beach), but the guy really is a nice, understandable, and patient person.

And Wild @Wild is ok I guess.

And the other gif I found while looking for this one that I refused to post.

Thanks bro.

You’ve always been welcoming to new members and a big supporter of this place. You’ve also dealt with some serious issues from other posters without shitting up ot with threads ppppppppppbitching about it. I respect the fuck out of you for dealing with those issues privately and not dragging personal business through the site in an attempt to get others to pick sides.

You’ve watched many great posters leave but still carry the torch for TMMAC. It’ll be a sad day if you decide to call it quits.
Now talk about me
