You NOT getting mod powers.

I wish that was a user option instead of a forum option.

Was told it was not, so that is why it was shut off. Bummer

I like the thread concept. Somebody mentioned the other day that our sense of community has disappeared. That's probably my fault. I'll try to do better.

Permaban Phobia... he's the love child of Joseph Mengele and Justin Bieber.

I hear you and all but there's only like 5 of us. There has to be a better use of your vote.

I agree but I don't know who my parents are. A permaban would be awesome, for any made-up reason.

Facebook only sucks if you aren't good at it. That being said, if you want to pin a decline on this site it was when rep was implemented. It lead to the change that Gaz didn't like. It's caused more wars than religion in this mother****er. Just like tags it's uncontrollable what comments you put on.

Phil, I am your father...(I say in a wispy, gravelly voice)

All I need is about 30 minutes of mod privileges to figure out what I'm doing (learning from Sorter's mistake here) and I can make up a reason. :D

It's kinda like the old... I ain't one to gossip take

but I ain't one to gossip so you ain't heard that from me

The good thing about rep is that you can tell someone that you strongly agree, or that they made you laugh, or that they made you think, without cluttering up the board. The bad thing is that chickenshit, passive aggressive little pussies use it when they are incapable of maintaining a discussion and can't stand it when they lose an argument. The fun thing about rep is that it lets you know who is which.

Banning anyone who takes a tragic news story and turns it into a ****ing pun-a-thon.

Then those same assholes ask for "prayers" for their sick mothers/spouses/dogs.

**** you.

Before rep you knew it the same as everyone else, because it was posted for all to see. This had a chill out effect as well, because if you acted like a total douche EVERYONE would dogpile your ass and then the mods would roll in and satisfy the masses with a funny name change.

After rep a person is stuck in the position of trying to prove it was too much to the crowd.

This.

Makes me wonder if there's a report the admins can run that shows who gives out the most/least negative rep. Would be interesting to see the data.
