Well, if that is how it has to be, then so be it. Forcing people out just because they don't fit in is not right in any way, shape, or form. I know one person on my flist sort of went off because of this (and I can now forgive them), but they and someone else being forced out because of this is a sad, sad mistake.
Honestly, I don't want any "LJ ate your entries" jokes. I'm aware its possible, however I don't see how it would go out and eat only my entries and nobody else's. Doesn't that just seem a little suspicious? I mean...wow....
I'm reviving my comm later today. As a mod elsewhere, I am disgusted over how this was played out. If you really don't like someone, or really like someone, well, why not
? It saves people a lot of trouble trying to map you out just to weed out a simple "I like you" or "I dislike you".
It honestly does. Before people go "but you post the same crap over and over again" do realize I stopped that a while ago. If you still accuse me of such, then you clearly just don't read whats there and dismiss it because its a character I run. Do you do the same to everyone else's characters too? Thats pretty messed up, really.
All I can say is the people that are paying the most for this dramu and wankery are indeed, the other players that can't do anything about it. They end up caught up in the crossfire. Its not good.
When you run a RP or a DR, wherever you run it...one simple rule applies: Be fair and impartial. I know sometimes you have your friends around to RP with you, which by all means I say is great. But you can't exactly afford to hold a bias when you're the leader in the executive chair making all the moves. You can't just kick and/or ban someone out of something just because "you don't like them", you have to remember if they even violated any rules. You have to reason out if they even did anything wrong. If you
can't figure out what a person did wrong outside of "they don't like them", then thats what on IRC they call "power abuse" and what I also like to call "someone who shouldn't even have power."
What I've witnessed (especially to what happened to one of the younger members) is that at least one person or maybe two are abusing mod powers to an extent. I'm not saying any names, but I insist its a good idea to come out of the closet. That closet is getting a little too small for your bulging fail to fit if you ask me.
For now, I rest my case. I understand this is going to cause a lot of flaming hot arguments maybe just within this entry, but you know what? I can take it, survive it, and even smack people right back. I'm not like some people who have to run away from the scene of the crime. I can honestly take it.
P.S. If I found out this dickery was taking place in one of my comms., I'd prolly strip away mod powers and ban offenders. Sorry to sound blunt, but I don't tolerate power abuse.
P.S.S. You guys over at Chase's are doing a pretty good job without me doing much lately. xD I may not fully like it, but I think I'll grab a tub of popcorn and watch for a while.
