Just because you don't get a ticket every time you exceed the speed limit, does it make driving over the speed limit legal? Just because rules are broken by others or have been broken for a long time, it doesn't make it ok to break them. Things have gone far enough that the forum is in danger, so the rules will now be enforced. Anybody that doesn't like the rules, or can't abide by them, will not be forced to stay. Anybody who chooses fight the enforcement of the rules will be given chances to change their attitude or they will be banned. Simple.
Like I said in an earlier post. HuLK will remove any and all posts that are deemed "offensive". No one ever asked him to do so, as of yet. I have sent a PM to Jacob with my Email and phone#. He will be sending me a list of things that need to be removed, and we will handle it "in house". This is where the problems started, I guess being a Misfit has more meaning then the name implies. We have always tried to keep our problems here and resolve them ourselves. We will continue to take care of our own and ourselves. If a list had been sent to one of the squad moderators, this would never happened. I have seen some crazy Crap Stuff go down on this thread and on the forum. HuLK would like to think this a small bump in the road. HuLK would also like to think that if HuLK and another thread goer get into a heated argument, HuLK wont be "Gold" the next day. HuLK would like to think that the officers that were banned, will be reinstated shortly. I am not one to buck the system, but I wont fall in line, when I see things that are wrong either.
You would think we would be given the opportunity to clean up our own mess, and maybe we will. Unless I missed something (and I sometimes do) the apparent rub, as it relates only to our thread, is that some of our posts have been deemed inappropriate. And if I got it right, Jacob is here to review our 2,000 pages and delete any inappropriate posts. Or maybe let the Hulkster do it. Great, have at it. Once I read them, I move on. I rarely go back and look at old posts anyway. You guys are so chatty, I struggle to keep up with the current posts.
What concerns me most and what I do not understand, is why is it necessary for the global moderator, who was sent here to delete inappropriate pages, to continually involve himself and participate in squad conversations and issues. That is very inappropriate for someone in authority to do. In fact, it seems as though the global moderator has been baiting to get squad members riled. And he did a pretty good job of that. It makes me wonder if deleting inappropriate pages was truly the only reason he came here.
Two high ranking Misfits banned, one resigned his officer's commission, many others quite upset. Most all came as a result of the approach the global moderator took to address the issues he stated he was here to deal with.
How people handle themselves when put in a position of authority tells you a great deal about the person.
I hope that the inappropriate posts get cleaned up, and that no further dialogue or banter between Misfits and the global moderator occurs on the Misfit thread.
Don't be baited fellows.
