I have no idea where to put this...

I wanted to post this message up. It's a message I posted in the general forum of Darknest 17th October 2007 in responce to a locked thread in which Kaylee peformed some questionable moderation. Within two mins, the thread was deleted, and my account was banned. So I'm having to resort to slightly lame Encyclopedia Dramatica -> blogspot post in order for at least some people to read it, and to maybe reach an understanding as to why I was banned.

Anyways, here's the main feature:



Mkay, I'm not overly keen on having a thread instant locked because I raised a query. So I'd like to continue this in a separate thread where disinterested people can ignore it (If you came here to make a wish, move along, this is no doubt going to be boring talk).

I'm not trying to make a huge drama out of this, and I would hardly call myself a [i]mister pathetic internet forum sleuth[/i] because I pushed the back button twice.

If I'm breaking the rules (I've just gotten a warning for my last post), I'm not aware of it. If this is in an inappropriate place, then by all means move it somewhere suitable.

There's no FU kaylee, or kaylee is teh idiotzor here, I honestly want to just mention my mind without all the name calling and the high blood pressure. If I'm going to get penalised for doing this, what on earth is going wrong in this forum?


The point I want to raise, is that I felt there was a distinct double standard in how things were moderated. It's apparently fine for kaylee to taunt someone about posting gay porn in their post, then doing it. But as soon as someone makes a single line jab at an issue that you find sensitive, that's instantly deleted, and as soon as it's questioned the thread is locked with a 'I'm the victim here' response.

Yes, it's a thankless job and on the whole your contribution is welcomed, whether noticed by the population of Darknest or not. But there have been numerous anomalies in the way you have done things, which annoys [i]some[/i] people. That said, I honestly have no complaints about the other moderators; NSQ, ackanime and especially sutra* do an exceptional job in moderating these boards, and I have a huge amount of kudos for them.

If this is an adult community where we can talk about different ways we jack off, sleep naked or screw people... why can't we talk things over without resorting to name calling is beyond me.

Anyway, thanks for reading. I'm expecting it to be locked (and myself possibly banned), but I'm hoping that this wont be the case.
