Nvm, I just re-read it. It was "insensitive"

I still think the rule is a mess though. It is "No Holds Barred"

So why did... someone, not me, get a point for saying "Which dumbass mod banned ****y"? They were complaining about it last night and I didn't think it was fair either.

Wait, ****iNESS is banned again? What did he do?

ATRL culture is and has always been evolving far before you even joined the site. Everything that has changed even the slightest has been complained about and bitched about yet makes the site even better in the long run.

You say complained and bitched about, but would you prefer it if everyone stayed silent and accepted every change? I would hope that the mods/admins wouldn't turn their ears away from the very members who keep this site going strong. I like to think we all (admins, mods, and regular users) can sharpen each other and learn from one another. I just have a lot of faith in people.

And I make the argument, what does a smiley face have to do with a conversation. It is unrelated to any discussion and is pointless without any accompanying words. Its not hard to add productive conversation.

Well not necessarily just a GIF or smiley, but a picture as well. Like in SYG if you post an unbecoming picture of an artist (like Britney in 2007) to prove a strong point. No words needed. Would that be pointless? And then even with GIF's, if someone says "Lady Gaga is a great dancer" and I post this, again no words needed to understand the point, is that REALLY pointless?

I mean most of the time, those things even PROVOKE retorts and further discussion.

He types in SYG exactly like AlexandraStanFan did

He claims to be an "R&B lover" and AlexandraStanFan was always in the Keyshia Cole related threads.

It's obvious

He accumulated 6 points in this thread arguing with Sats + others.

fff; all this ring around the Rosie is a mess. The mods should have kept everything how it was but just made NHB more strict by handing out more WPs for off-topic.

AND BITCH, it ain't yo ****ing look so why the **** are you worried about it? I'm a little caught off guard by your fave still having a career with not one inch of talent but you don't see me making threads about her ugly ass now do you?

You made this thread to be nasty as if you've posted one picture to show the entire world what you look like.

The same fumes you were dying in when Chris rearranged Rihannas big busted mug. Thats right bitch, dodge like the punk ass hoe you were made to be by the bum bitch you were born from.

But YOU HEARD ME.

Any changes made to the site aren't made to hurt the members but rather make things better for the general member as a whole. We have forums on the site like ATRL HQ to hear feedback and see what people feel. We take in everything when we make a decision. But change isn't a bad thing.
And for you SYG question another mod would have to take this one since I don't venture into the section

If I am pissing you off only because I seem to agree with that person... then I do not see the problem. Just because everyone is doing it doesn't make it right. Think for yourself and that's what I tend to do. My bad.

Well I wasn't referring to me personally or just another person, but the larger population as a whole. But it makes sense what you said. I almost forgot that notion of: just because everyone is doing it doesn't make it right. You make a good point.

The argument can be made that it says OR... so, I can find no point to your post with any graphic and be done with that.

Oh, wait, here's the valid argument: Terms of Use.

Ch. I get moderating is subjective....

Nah, people just need to stop complaining and adjust. I mean, I thought it was 'just a forum' and shouldn't be taken seriously? If anyone would like to sit down and rewrite the list of offences in a clear and concise manner, since ours clearly isn't up to the standards, then go for it.

In the meantime, let's all take a large dose of chill pills and relax ourselves. Go outside and watch the pretty fireworks if you're from the US. ATRL policies should not be a big deal.

We do that all time and it gets us nowhere. All we do is go in circles with the mods because none of them ever take what we say into consideration.

It isn't hard to have a handful of straightforward rules. Since this is a music forum have a file sharing rule and since we have NHB/SYG have a rule about not viciously attacking members/celebs outside of them. Rules along the lines of annoying/insensitive/pointless etc are useless and are rules everyone can't agree on. They only cause more complaints, more reports and more headaches.

This is a Pop Music Forum, not a Prison Ward.
