since it was apparently enough of an issue at the old place for people to dedicate their lives toward, i would like to preemptively point out that just because a user has a lot of fake internet points does not mean their opinion is any more valuable than anyone else's or has any value whatsoever. anyone who thinks that farming phuks (or votes) is a meaningful enterprise is an idiot. /drunkrant
Have a look at the mod logs.
It may open your eyes some.
It has not changed. Some of the mods are petty, hatefull, and immature.
I'm not going to get into it, because i really don't care, and most of the users are decent folk who just want to get along.
But i am disappointed in the other mods, who are generally also decent, but they know what is going on and do nothing about it. That makes them partially responsible since they are enabling it and adding validity to otherwise shady looking mods.
the modlogs weren't as eye opening as i expected. the ban list is pretty extensive and doesn't give much in the way of reason so i guess you are referring to why you got banned which isn't recorded but there's only a couple excessive removals. i'm guessing silversurfers carried disagreements elsewhere into cheers because i don't know what else it could be.

That's what i meant.
Users are banned, and some comments/posts removed, due to feelings, not rule violations.
I am constantly amazed at how many people seem to think that is acceptable.
If it was upfront about what it was, i wouldn't have an issue. But combine that name with that behaviour and the result is unacceptable in my opinion.
really? i guess things changed at cheers cause i never had or saw any problems there. disappointing.
