[skidMark]

WTF - someone complained about those posts?

That's just the type of shit I post everywhere

Hmmm must be winter coming on - over the years on lots of different bike sites I've noticed that the crap usually happens as the weather turns crap. On one USA site the cops got involved as there were death threats

Ive had heaps of death threats on KB, they gotta learn to ride fast enough to catch me first.

NO... thats just the point The *Mod took it up on himself to warn, complain to self and infract.

* in mods defence I belive in this case he relises it was a mistake

[scumdog]

the site owner set the benchmark by declaring this place a dictatorship where it doesn't matter a damn what the actual rules are supposed to be

yes, the mods act like petty dictators too following the precedent set by the owner and management

Meh, never had a problem with the 'dictatorship - or any mod for that matter.

I guess those that DO find the dictatorship too much they could alway find another site - or start their own??

[DingoZ]

fuck that,you ever cuddled a Gingathere covered in funny spots.

Am not........Quick check.....Fuck yes I am....

I wouldn't risk it, it might be catching

Must be cause I caught it.....

I don't think deindividuation has much to do with moderation on a internet forum.

Considering a lot of people treat online forums like they can say whatever they like without consequences, you'd be hard pressed to find people falling into roles such as prisoner and prison guard.

What the Stanford Prison Experiment shows is that when you put a badge onto an ordinary person, it changes everything.

Should think the parallels to moderation are obvious

BTW the moderation here seems much better than other sites I belong to.

It wasn't just a badge they were or weren't given. The subjects in the stanford experiment weren't just told you are prisoner and you are guard. They were given outlines on how they were to "work", ie.. you are not allowed to let the prisoners do this or do that. It was the carry over, if you will, that was the interesting find - that roles became an exaggeration of the primary outlines they were given. And new sub culture behaviour arose.

Here, mods are made mods and told to look out for anyone causing problems - and here's some general rules (less stringent that what the guards in the experiment were instructed). Users are told to behave or be moderated. There's no developed sub-culture where they become exceptionally cruel and create "hazing" practices. At most you can say they have become cynical and a bit bored with the same complaints they probably get everyday.

Cynical and bored? Heaven forbid! I delight in all manifestations of inanity and abuse of language, literary convention and of Moderators themselves.

If it wasn't for a small bunch of up-themselves-small-penises who take themselves and their utterances too seriously, life as a Moderator would be blissful. Particularly for those of us who are also UTSPs who take ourselves and our utterances far too seriously.

Just wait till I get my MOD badge.

I have a FORD THAMES BADGE at home if you want.

[SPman]

And why the hell aint you a Moderator?...with a remark like that I can imagine most on here having a warm cup of milk while lounging in thier idyllic knitted slippers (closes eyes and thinks)....
