gundamcat17 Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 1st off if i get banned for this well bah.... So i was browsing around the boards when i came across this topic called otaku rules!!! Well the topic was weak so it did deserve to be closed but that is not what concerns me... it was closed on the second post by kuja and then one by one mods started yapping on it...making fun of each other for the most part. My comment is this you guys closed the topic for being spam and then sat there and spammed.You guys are supposed to be good examples and your spamming this is just wrong.I know im going to be pm'ed or publicly yelled at for making this topic which im sure will be closed.But there i have expressed my concern I try my best to be a good example for all the lil ones round here and think that being that most of the mods are in my age group i would hope you would to.

Kuja Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 [SIZE=3][FONT=century gothic][COLOR=crimson]ok i closed the topic, and they had asked for jenna to do it. So i used her color and said something, then i did what safer does and said it closed. TN just did a typo in his and i made fun of that. After that we all had some fun and did the other SMs lol. Now im sorry if you think that is a double standard but that was actually quite silly. and it didnt hurt the boards (to our knowledge) so i dont see anything wrong with it. Thou im not james. And like he said we are staff so there ;) j/k... [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx kuja. [/B][/QUOTE] [color=royalblue]I agree with you. However, staff are not in the business of spamming constantly like some other members on the boards. This does not excuse blatant spamming, but it does mean that even staff need a little leeway. You would not yell at one member for spamming once and being oblivious, and thus, it is inappropriate to hold staff to a different standard. I hold staff to the same standards as members. In this case, the staff involved probably shouldn't have done what they did. However, I see no point in making a big deal about it. I know more than anyone what it's like to be over-scrutinized for doing anything wrong -- and all members must understand that staff are members themselves as well. And they're only human -- they're bound to make mistakes. But as long as staff are prepared to learn from their mistakes, then I see no reason to really push the issue. If you put the spotlight on staff more than members -- then that could also be regarded as a double standard.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gundamcat17 Posted March 4, 2002 Author Share Posted March 4, 2002 i was waiting for someone to say exactly what you did. I hold staff to the same standards as members. In this case, the staff involved probably shouldn't have done what they did. i didn't want to make a big stink about and infact that was not the point. i just think we being the community of 16 and above should think a little more before we go off on random tangents. That being said i think this topic has served its purpose any one that wants to talk to me about it please pm me don't just reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] [color=royalblue]I agree with you. I am sure that the relevant staff will read this topic and make their own decisions about this issue. I'm not in the habit of continually excusing staff, but by the same token, I'm not prepared to unfairly punish staff either. And yes, I think that there has been enough discussion on this topic -- whoever reads it can make up their own mind about it. :)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
