Shoving us aside and taking over a conversation with bullshit like everyone is interested in what you say. Give your members some credit and space. There are lots of interesting people here who would like to talk without you looking over their shoulders. Is this a forum or play pen with adults watching us. We know the rules. Maybe a drunken forum needs all these moderators. But you have more moderators than the United Nations has members. Chill. Back off. Listen. Poke in to say something but don't shove us around. I am on my last bottle of vodka. Cheers.
A pity I am not there that often any more (I do apologize to my fellow drunkards for that).
See, you seem to find Palinka too repressive on your ass, while I happen to find him extremely patient with you.
Palinka, unlike me, shows deep respect for freedom of speech and he genuinely believes in giving people a chance even when they are boring aggressive or simply annoying. That is why you haven't been banned so far.
I am completely different: If I acquire the conviction that a board member is more of a nuisance than an entertainment for the community I just ban him for good. You are currently one post away of this happening to you. Possibly even less depending on how my apéritif will go this evening. Type carefully and be extra precautious when whining and complaining.

I'm interested too. All I know is that there's a shitload of drama flying past me.

Girl drama I let roll off my shoulders when they roll me up into it, but drunken folders draw me in.

As for the OP's asshattery, I highly approve of the job the moderators here. The "job" of a moderator isn't just to "censor" posts, it's to help keep interest going in the forum by chirping in now and again. They can either help keep things on topic, derail the Flamebait Train, or hell... Start a flame war just to hammer f*ck some dink that desperately asks for it.

RIPT was a rather unseemly fella who fancied threatening fellow board members and in one particularly egregious episode, committed outright libel against one of our own. He would be promptly banned for his most un-Modern Drunkard like behavior and would nearly immediately turn around and re-up under a new handle. Steps have since been taken that would eliminate or at least severely curb this workaround of his. We continue to be vigilant so our li'l nabe stays friendly and enjoyable for all.

This vigilance is not reserved for RIPT alone. You may have noticed - in this thread, for example, we tend to nip undesirable behavior in the bud. Sometimes we do this by engaging the offending poster in dialogue to find out the true root of their behavior or statement, sometimes - depending on the severity of the post or just being fed up with the poster, we'll slam The Ban Hammer forcefully and forthwith.

Hope that answers your question.

Slainte!

Ript? Wasn't he the one who posted himself in a purple bathrobe, pointing a gun at the camera? Also, wasn't he the creep who put up a really disgusting, filthy, perverted picture, without putting it under a click-on-link and warning people, NSFL?

NSFL? Is that Nor Safe For Life?

Or did you mean NSFW, in which case yes I do remember someone doing that and I for one was pretty upset since I can get fired for things of that sort. Too bad I missed out on this conversation.

Uhm, yeah. Not Safe For Life. As in, I choked on my lunch and couldn't click fast enough to make the nasty image go away. That RIPT was a real jerk. Sometimes, people show up here with weird, angry agendas. They need to be removed. This is what our mods do: take out the trash.

Guns, guns, guns! Interesting thread.

My own MDM board freak show of choice would be Compass. His rather disturbing weed updates were a thing to behold. I hope he is getting the help he needs.

In happier news, let's have a drink!

If I recall, Ript's final undoing was incredibly inappropriate negative comments about another MDM regular who had passed away. It's one thing to be a complete asshole to someone still living, but quite another to say horrific things about someone deceased and who couldn't defend herself. He was a complete piece of shit. Good riddance!!
