TGD, I want to thank you for coming, and giving your input on this thread. It helps others to understand the purpose the motivation behind your work. Humor is a two edge sword, some people will like it, and some people won't. That doesn't mean that we should block all humor posts from this website. There are a myriad of other threads that you can go read if you don't like the topic of this one.
Threats of moderation should have never entered into this thread, as it does not violate the rules of this website; and for that happening I apologize to my users. I have spoken to the moderators involved and clarified that fact.
That being said, if you have problems with the actions of one of my staff members, you must handle it by e-mailing or forum messaging myself or Forum Admin. That is the only acceptable way to do so. Posts that dispute the actions of staff or site policy in the public areas of this website will get you banned, and that includes users applauding one that does so.
Rule #2 is one that we take very seriously on this website. The motivation behind Rule #2 is not hide behind the curtain the actions of staff when they are in the wrong, instead it is in place to keep people from attempting to use public opinion to sway or influence the actions of myself or the moderators in a particular situation. I have in the past seen times when the members of the site were torn into opposing camps on issues, it is not a pretty sight.
For those of you who constantly express dissatisfaction with the content, staffing, and management of this website. I would suggest that you find another website more to your liking, and if you can't find one make one. I have seen many competing websites come and go over the year's, and this one is still here. It will still be here when you give up and come back, hopefully with a better attitude.
That's all I wanted to say sorry for intruding on your thread, have a nice night!
