Several things:
-From the local mod:
We try to be open. However, open doesn't mean one can say/do whatever we say. The various rules are in place for good reasons. They're not unreasonable. Trust me, if a mod tries to put an unreasonable rule in, they'll hear from me.
-
The mods are posters, just as you are. Some like this bit of a show, some like that. They try hard to be unbiased when dealing with business and if they're not, trust me, I hear about it and you may be sure I do the occasional smackdown.
-By the way, the "I'm leaving, WAAAHHH, you suck!" bit doesn't do jack for me. Here's a free lesson for future 'net endeavors from someone who has been around the 'net seemingly forever. If you do that kind of dramatics on the 'net, no one except for your friends gives a damn. It just makes you look bad when you do the drama queen "I'm leaving forever!" exit. All it makes me do when I read one of those is roll my eyes and go "buh-bye." I could not possibly care less when a poster that is making trouble wants to leave. Hell, I'll pack the suitcase.
I do care about this place and my posters. However, you make trouble, and my patience for that is nil. Our rules aren't bad and we're pretty easy-going for the most part. But I do insist on people following our rules. If you can't, well, perhaps it's best that you find another place.
Now - back to your spoiler thread.
-From the local mod:
I find that very reasonable, given that we have a dedicated forum for general shipper discussion. Spoilers can contain some shipper stuff, but in general, it's a good idea if going into depth, to head over to S.C. where one can enthuse to one's heart's content.No one said ships couldn't be discussed in here, they can as long as it pertains to the spoilers that are being released. What were saying is this isn't the thread to debate ships or discussing ships in general.

This is respectful? You basically blew off the moderator. That's rude, not respectful.If you don't want to read me, scroll down.
