No idea. Someone sent me a link to participate and there were people debating over the concept of love (?)

Sadly there are some people who would... I would use something more brilliant that I myself would make.

I love this forum to death, I love all the changes it's been going through, the chat idea is awsome and I've been around for almost 2 years [in 10 days it will be 2 years] not for no reason but there's just one thing I gotta say and it's not a good one.
I don't care if I come across as bitter about my last warning, well, cuz' I am.
It's stupid to give someone a warning for defandin' his fav' from gettin' bashed for no reason, if someone comes for my fav' wig I will defand it and I don't care if it's not in the SYG thread so if you wanna give someone a warnin', give it to the guy who brought an artist who wasn't in that thread/throw shade @ it and not the guy defandin' him/her cuz' that's unfair.
I don't care if I got this warning, it's more about why I got it and I just needed to speak my mind.
And I know that by limiting the report/help to once a day help you cuz' of the crazy msgs you are getting, I just think this is kinda damging to us.
I reported someone few hours ago and now I want to report someone else but I gotta wait till tomorrow and there's nothing I can do..I know that complaining and not offering a way to work the problem out is kinda selfish and stupid but I just simpley don't see a way to do so as of right now, at least for the second problem, the help/reporting issue.

Maybe you should try directly contacting the people you have either personal or site-related problem with? I mean, maybe that is why you got warned in the first place... because you were trying to argue about an artist when the thread wasn't really about that artist or thing, regardless how defensive you wanted to be. You can be just as defensive, if not more, by making that post specifically in SYG or sending a private message to that person and not ruining the thread. I'm not sure what your post was or where but that is generally what I've noticed with posts that call for warnings.
With reporting, again, you could try posting on wall of the person who you want to report or private messaging the person, rather than just always resorting to complaining about them. If someone is insulting you, why try to get the mods to do something about it when you yourself can take action by either ignoring or directly talking to them (and therefore not be affected by the reporting rule)? The moderators aren't here to look after everyone and shouldn't have to deal with every complaint, especially since there can be repetitive or minor reports.

Well, it was simple, I was in a thread and 2 stans of the same artist the thread was about brough up a name of an artist I like, and I'm not talkin' about just mentioning her but bashin' her for an uncalled reason.
So yeah, I went for their fav', which the thread was about, wig.
If someone hits you, won't you hit him back?
Yeah, I know sometimes it's better to ignore those kind of posts or tryin' to deal with that person outside or inside the thread but sometimes people are purely tryin' to hate and you know it won't help...I don't get myself into those kind of things that much but well, here we are and I just think it's unfair.
Esp' since even after I went away from that thread there was so many people doin' exactly what I did, which is defandin' thier fav' in that thread that it's logical that the guy bringing other artists will get a warning and not me cuz' if someone won't bring another artist than there wouldn't be all those fights.
And the post I got a "pointless" warning about was my first post in the Christina tops the UK album chart in the Chart sections.
You can see what a mess that thread has become and it's only cuz' all over the thread Christina stans bring other artists into it, just like they were the first ones to come for Britney wih no seen reason and I'm pretty sure I was one of the few people who got a warning in that thread when if you look at why I got one than like 90% of the people postin' in that thread should get one.
P.S I don't want my warning to get delete, I'm just tryin' to make a point that I think is right, maybe I'm not 100% right but I think that in the basics, it is, cuz' if someone is startin' a fight he is the one to blame, not the guy defandin' it's pretty logical and even the law got my back.
Btw, thanks for responding, it means kinda alot to me.

It's freakin' 6am and I'm gettin' ready for the army so if I wrote this trust me it's more important than alot of things going on around here right now, esp' to me....I'm sure that if it was about one of your fav' or one of your games/awards show you would read this in no time...This was pure post whoring right now...
Now that's pointless post, not me defandin' my fav' @ the Christina thread.

I will just say that in a general lifestyle, usually both people are at fault for both instigating and responding to the fight. You aren't taking control of the situation by getting involved in something and then blaming the person. Self-defense is just you doing enough to defend yourself (or in this case, I guess your favorites) but if you go on to do further damage (which in this case can be insulting their favorite artists), it's no longer defense. Any sort of fight/disagreement/etc that is purely stan-based should be restrained to SYG or in private/wall messages. Seriously, don't expect moderators to do and take care of everything. They already do more than enough (since they are not paid at all). The most you can do is learn to control yourself and keep things on track by following the rules and maybe letting people know of things directly.
Hopefully I can actually help you in the future.

I more than agree, you do an amazing job, even now answering me, something you don't really have to be doing.
I do get your point and well, I've explained myself to you in the PM, so anyways, thanks for responding.

That explains why I was so sure she is a mod I didn't even bother to check on the side.
And yeah, you can tell by the way she said her things.

I have no qualms with any of the moderators here except one, and that person is obviously Reeces. He is incapable of respecting any opinion that differs from his own, the bias that he exudes is simply too much and he should not be a moderator because of that. This is a music forum, we don''t all have to agree with one another but at the very least we should try to respect each others opinions. Moderators should be objective, and he has proven on multiple occasions that he is not. There's plenty of other people who would be better suited to fulfill the position that he is in. He has abused the authority that has been granted to him. This is not solely a recent issue, it has been ongoing for quite some time. He is clearly a Stan, he engages in pity conflict with other members, but seeing as he is a moderator he has an all access pass to conduct himself as he so chooses. There was no issue keeping the numerous Christina Aguilera threads open before her comeback went from bad to worse and when the feedback was vaguely positive, but now that the situation has soured it is not acceptable for him to suppress other peoples views just because he does not agree with them, as evidenced in the recent closure of all the threads that have highlighted his obsessions' misfortunes. http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?t=91599
http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?t=91444
He has also banned members without warrant, take Rico in April for example. http://atrl.net/?p=3682675 Trolling? Evidently that term is open to interpretation.
