YES. Thank you BR for listening to us! While I do not tend to go wandering off on someone else's maj, I know others do and several people have told me about things they wished they'd never seen. I just did have one question though, if the galleries are to be filtered, how does that effect avatars & such?

I really do appreciate it.

Thank you-sincerely, thank you for this, BR. I'm glad of it, as it will help BZPower to be a safer and better place for everyone.

For once I must say, YAY BR!!!!

Woah...

That was awesome.

HOMG I thought BR was going to ban Sunneh or something... but oh snap!

Thanks a lot man. =D

B.R., you are the best admin ever.

Thanks!

Wow, I've actually seen Bionicle Rex post. That's never happened before to me.

Good point, everyone, but I don't blame Omi at all.

The trouble that often comes about when people are seen as role models is there are two polar opposite effects that can happen. Those who look up to that person tend to lift the person up to an infallible status and leave themselves open for hurt when the truth that the role model isn't perfect finally dawns on them. This happens way too often with celebrities seen as role models. On the other hand, there are those who are going to look for and expose every hidden flaw in the role model they can find, possibly to hurt the individual who looks up to the person or out of jealousy/spite. This too happens to celebrities.

Don't get me wrong; there's nothing bad with having someone to look up to, but don't be surprised when that person messes up. Rather just don't look up to that person anymore if s/he isn't willing to admit a mistake has happened and instead covers that up.

Er, wat? o.0

Celebs, Sunny, Celebs.

That Miley Cryus or something?

Just waiting for her plane to crash. (metaphorically)

Unmetaphorically speaking, some 14 year old boy had plans to hijack a plane and crash it into her concert apparently.

A little too much Pepsi, hmm?

You should've seen me after Beliwa.

And Andrew, I'm pretty sure it was a 16 year old boy. The guy had hand cuffs and rope. Yeah, like that isn't a dead giveaway...

~AA

Gosh, Omi went all grr... Oh well. Though then BR came and you know the rest(I've never seen him post before). Not trying to be offensive to anyone, just saying. Omi is doing a great job at what he's doing here at BZP.

Also, you guys scare me with your knowledge on things concerning Miley Cyrus....

Hi .Protegez! (sp?) =DDD

Ever since BR posted, I think its all been cleared up. Good point, Sunneh.

BR, you officialy OWN.

And I really mean it.

Of course, there's always a flaw, as usual. Just because they were a good role model when they were picked doesn't mean they always will be. It's obvious who wants to be staff out there, and they'll do almost anything to get it. After that, they already have the job, so what's the need to act the same as they did before?

Now, this doesn't apply to all of the staff. I'm only saying that so I don't have to listen to a pile of them defending themselves, similar to Tufi's entry. But there are the handful that have dropped the role model act and stuff like that.
