I'm sorry, I must have missed the film or screen shot part.            Old age I guess  :noid

Having a fellow pixel mate swear to it doesn't make it any more true.

*EDIT*  If it makes you feel better, I don't believe that Mikey likes LIFE cereal, either, because he doesn't talk.

Yes because I told him to make up the entire story with me. It was all part of our ingenius plan to get back at overbearing mods.

Excuse me... I'm looking for the "Who moderates the moderators conspiracy theory" thread. Is this it or is it down the hall?

... But Skuzzy did show a good example for the other mods though, if a Mod had decided to take action, he woulda muted me.

p.s. can mods give out warnings?

I don't know anything about AH, but if it were my sim, I'd specifically prohibit mods from sending PM's as Skuzzy did.  Part of the agreement to mod is typically an understanding between both parties that the identities of the mod's to be kept confidential. Skuzzy on the other hand has no need to keep his identity a secret.

Just thought I'd ask.

Lately it depends on "Who" you are "When" you say it. Some rules are are bent beyond belief, yet a simple infraction is met with a swift stick.

Can I become a Moderator?

Guess it depends on what your definition of Moderating is..oh, btw, "who" doesn't moderate.."who" is on second .  Sorry, just couldn't resist.  :rofl

I don't have film of when I got muted, because I had no clue that I was gunna get muted for saying it! I didn't think of taking a screenshot at the time because I was so flipping mad that I got muted for 60 minutes for saying crap I wasn't thinking straight. I did record the part after I got muted and I said something about it. and yes, thats all I said, "crap", nothing else. I was fighting, I augered and I said "crap" on 200. Then 10 seconds later "You have been muted for 60 minutes". Thats it. There is no reason to make this up.

I got muted for an hour last night for saying, "crap". 2 other of my squadies got the same punishment also.

Moderators abuse their power beyond belief. We should be allowed to say anything we want ( barring racial, deflamatory, etc, remarks) for the $15 we pay per month. I hardly think saying "crap" over 200 merits an hour warning.

 I would like to give that moderator a piece of my mind. He is a complete twit, utter moron, and he hides behind the anonymity of the moderator position. Get a life, and stop ruining people's fun for such a trivial thing. TURD.


deflamatory ? ... I think you meant ... "inflammatory".

OK ... so we can say ANYTHING we want ... EXCEPT ... "DaveJ's List" (which he gets to make up, which includes "etc") ... so you decide on what is "OK" ... is that any different than any Mod making the same decisions ?

Would you give HiTech or any HTC Staff ... "a piece of your mind" ? ... and during that conversation would you then go on to say to any of them ... "Your a complete twit, utter moron, and you hide behind the anonymity of the moderator position. Get a life, and stop ruining people's fun for such a trivial thing. TURD."

What makes you think that the "Mod" that spanked you was not HiTech/HTC Staff in "incognito" ?

I'd be careful.

Earlier last week, I was chasin around a 152 and I said outloud on 200 "STUPID 152 PR**K!!" and I got a warning.

So, I was like oops.... and I said "okay, okay then, stupid 152 NOOB!" and I got a "this is your last warning"  So I'm saying out loud on 200 "wtf? is it Stupid? Noob?" and I got a PM from Skuzzy himself saying "you'd better start to calm down now"  :rofl :rofl :rofl


But Skuzzy did show a good example for the other mods though, if a Mod had decided to take action, he woulda muted me.

p.s. can mods give out warnings?

Question ... had it been Skuzzy that muted you ... would that have been "OK" ?

If it was indeed a HTC staff member then I am losing faith in this game, because there are FAR worse things said on 200 other than "crap".

You are apparently under the misconception that there are live mods on 24/7. It ain't so. It has been stated numerous times that the moderators are a selected group of people that HT trusts to moderate HIS game the way HE wants it moderated. Not the way you want it...or the way I want it (believe me...I've tried to influence him :D). The mods here don't work on a "schedule". So, there will be times when there are no mods on.

BTW, the excuse "...there are FAR worse things said on 200 other than "crap".", is a "sqeaker excuse". It's like, "But  Mommy...the other kids did it!!!".
