Give me one good reason why this site should not be run fairly. I didn't mean just the management, the way that they were talking before seemed like they meant the whole forum. what's the difference? and in response to your last post, do you -want- everyone to act rude and whatnot exactly as they would in real life, or would you rather everyone at least attempted a facade of decency when posting? Why does everyone act like everyone acts like complete rude ##### in real life? I don't think that anyone needs to act any different online, I suppose at least a bit of decency would be nice, but people can't always be forced to act exactly how the higher-ups want. Well I'm an extremely Snarky/Sarcastic/Witty person. Are you telling me that I should be allowed to trample over people with snarkiness? AFTER ALL, that IS my true self, and I wouldn't want to change it for internet sake. Also, what does this have to do with the topic again? xD Fine! Be yourself. Well, maybe you don't have to "trample over people," but you don't always have to act like a perfect Boy Scout all of the time. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. I am SOO not a Boy Scout (even though boy scouts are cool, alright EW..you lurker you!) and I'm definitely not perfect, nor do I pretend to be. Give me one good reason why this site should not be run fairly. I didn't mean just the management, the way that they were talking before seemed like they meant the whole forum. If everything was run completely and 100% fairly, then EVERYONE would be Premier. no. xD The premier system is fair. Everyone has the FAIR chance to BUY premier. (; What if your parents can't spare the money because they've lost their job due to the recession? Is that considered fair? Then you pick up spare change off the ground until you have enough. You may think I'm kidding, but I'm completely serious. Money's (mostly pennies) everywhere. Laka xD yesssss

I suppose it is also unfair of people to be selling food. Also, do you have to go there? My Dad just lost his job a few weeks ago as a highly esteemed college professor, the college just had to drop his classes. I don't see what on earth this has to do with Premier membership.

Was this just recently added? Because if it wasn't, I and several other missed it. Annndddd, if it wasn't just added, why are they linking to inconvenient dead topics? xD dunno. I for one do think that it would help to at least bump the topic or something. Or just copy & paste the main message of the topic into the rules. ;D

This isn't about B6 changing his mind, or me proving something, it's about being fair. As I've heard my entire life: Life isn't fair. Millionaires sit in their mansions while people starve in Africa. Life isn't fair and it never will be. -LK >comparing reality's troubles to rules on a childrens' toy forum anyways Sun I think that is in the rules that it has to be in that constrained area. I personally think you two should sit and have a civilized PM convo and work this out in a calm, cooled manner instead of calling him out in blog entries. :\ Where? Show me, PLEASE! I've talked to several other members who do not see it there and WANT it there ifwe are going to be expected to abide by it. This isn't about B6 changing his mind, or me proving something, it's about being fair. As I've heard my entire life: Life isn't fair. Millionaires sit in their mansions while people starve in Africa. Life isn't fair and it never will be. -LK Just because life isn't fair doesn't mean people on a website shouldn't be. We're not talking about people going hungry here, that's something that will never change no matter what we do- but things done on a website can be changed. Thanks for that. ;P You're sooo right.

I agree, I should not have been snarky, which is completely my fault. This isn't about me losing proto though, it really isn't. It's about being fair, and if they mean that to be a rule (which by the way was about 2 images in my signature that were well under 250x100, but apparently weren't in the same area...) it should be in the guidelines. Also, I wasn't super snarky to B6, I was actually much nicer to Him than Gatanui...

This isn't about B6 changing his mind, or me proving something, it's about being fair.

I'm not trying to "push it" just trying to get this problem fixed. It's worked before, I've convinced Admins to get new rules in the "rule book" (lol) ask BRex. ;P

I'm not yelling, I'm just very frustrated. They're not listening! I'm not ignoring the rules, this "rule" isn't even in the rulebook. I'm trying to avoid similar situations for other members in the future. And it's disheartening when the staff are not allowed to even have things suggested to them. :/ ..not to mention I spent a good long while writing that previous entry. xD

That's not a command...haha. But in response. B6, Yes, I did. I did mention that I was very snarky with you. Also, thanks for completely disregarding my point in all three propositions. You guys are not taking evident steps to take care of this matter. :/ My point EXACTLY is that there is WAY too much room to misinterpret the rules, and that's YOUR (staff) fault, not ours (members). That's why you need to make the rules more clear! It shouldn't have to be this complicated, I'm just trying to help. :/ Also, you should know I wasn't particularly calling you a fool. I'm sorry you took it that way... But seriously... Members, I want YOUR feedback on my previous entry. Do you think I'm right? Do my propositions make sense or am I a lunatic? Ahem, this is not to dig my hole deeper, just trying to save some future trouble, to be honest. :/ Also, I wondered if anyone had the answer to my question in my previous entry, about editing Staff member's blog comments...?

lol I think you'll hold on to your OBZPC longer than I did. (; Don't sweat it, that staff aren't that mean...i think.

I wish they would have just removed mine. Would've saved so much trouble. Although, I do hate the sense of never knowing why my signature was removed. -pokes proposition 2- And, thanks, Xelaot. : D

Thank you, and sorry about the strain...I just...always post in small orange text! (;

I'd first like to start out by saying that I may be a bit upset about the recent happenings (losing two proto and my Outstanding member position over a signature...) that have occurred. However, this is in no way written out of bitterness, or rebellion, but in honest concern, and full sincerity. I was informed about a week ago that my Signature was against the rules, and told to read the Signature guidelines topic. After carefully reading the topic twice, I concluded my signature could not possibly have been against the rules. I responded to the PM sent to me, I admit, in a rather snarky way. After a bit of arguing, I was linked to a topic about someone else's signature. I read through the topic, but hey, the posts there are not in the signature guidelines topic, and I found it quite inconvenient to have to read through the many posts/different opinions etc located in the topic. So I responded back, even more frustrated. I was so frustrated, that it most definitely showed through to the Staff member on the other side, who also got frustrated and sent the PM conversation to Black Six. Black Six was boiling mad (teehee) and told me to watch my behavior, and that my signature was violating the rules. I responded with something to the effect of, "If it violates the rules, why don't you remove it? Are you that lazy?" (oops, snarky again!) and within seconds it was removed. Funny how that happens, right? Well anywho, I copied my old signature back in there and changed my banner, and forgot to take out the 2nd image that seemed to be causing all the problems. So I took it out, and updated it again, to fix the issue. Little did I know in between updates (or so B6 claims) My signature was removed and 1 proto was taken away from me, along with my Outstanding Member Status. As you can imagine, I was ticked. So I posted an entry here at my blog (just like I always do! (: ) and B6 Posted and Locked my Blog post. Not wanting to reopen the topic, I just decided to respond by editing his post, just to make sure he got the Message. I was sent another PM saying it was disrespectful to edit a staff member's comment (to which I would like to ask where is this stated in the rules, and could I please have a link? I'd like it for future reference.) and another Proto point was removed. So there's the story. Now, let's move on to the real problem at hand. Proposition 1 - Members should not be expected to follow rules that are NOT stated in the specific rule topics. we shouldn't have to dig through old Q&A topics to know the signature guidelines. I suggest updating them. All it takes is a bit of copying/pasting to clarify the already very vague rules. It takes what, 5 seconds? And if you don't update it, don't expect people to follow invisible rules. Proposition 2 - Tell Members the real Reasoning behind their signature violation. I was told several times that the reason my signature was violating the rules was because the images together were larger than 250x100. This was not the case. The images were well under 250x100 and this is why I argued my position. It took a few PMs before I was told about this invisible rule. Proposition 3 - Show us you mean what you say. It shouldn't have taken me basically TELLING B6 to remove my signature. Give members a warning, and if their signatures are really violating the rules, remove them. otherwise, we won't believe you, stop the idle threats. I again want to point you to the beginning of this post, know that this is sincerity at it's best. I'm being Honest, and rather nice, I'd much rather be snarkier, believe me! So Staff members, I implore you to consider what I've said. Please don't be too arrogant to listen. C: Thanks, Sunburst

Not trying to offend you. LOL. he warned me before that. I'm pretty sure I know why I got in trouble, okay? Also, I don't get offended easily like most people. ;P

-pokes new entry-

I mean I guess you can, I just won't be able to respond. xD So PM me if you wanna talk? B6 has me on a post suspension, and took away my OBZPC (grahhh) over an easy signature mistake. (I'm giving him way to much credit for the mistake...the truth is my Signature violated some new rule. grah.) so yeah, PM me. :c EDIT: I LOVE HOW YOU ALL ARE PMING ME. HAHA. makes me feel special. <3

can I post? xD

QUICK. get rid of that shampoo.

Shine, not you, you're awesome. I'm referring to an admin. ;P
