Guys... MM'ers...

What the f#@K is going on???

Even John is making a silly disclaimer about "please don't ban me"... and then, a benign message follows.

I saw a few other threads, posts and remarks like that...

PEOPLE! Are you friggin' NUTS?

Granted... some moderators are rather short fused in the past few weeks, especially since the inception of the Pit and the result in the overall tone that developed afterwards and a handfull of members who became repeat offenders in rule violations.

Granted also, it may appear as that the rules are not applied to everybody equally... but that is unintentionally.

You have to understand that there are regulars, who KNOW the rules, but try to circumvent those and working against the community and against the moderators who are trying to keep this community civil... and those repeat offenders are often dealt a tougher hand, because they are doing it on purpose and hence making our work as moderators even more difficult.

Yes, there have been disciplinary actions being taken that don't look fair to the affected and outside members... and there is ALWAYS the CAM feature to make your case in the moderator section of MM.

But... c'mon... you will (usually!) not being banned, or thrown into the Brig unless you are violating the rules as stated in our TOS... and those temporary actions are intended to make clear to the offenders that we are serious about enforcing our rules.

It appears that you guys have the impression that it is so overmoderated now, that you are afraid of wrong punctuation in a paragraph and you will be banned.

Get... a... friggin'... grip... on... reality!

Follow the rules of MM and you don't have to fear to be banned.

There are several top professionals on MM, models, photographers and stylists who seem to be able to interact with other members of this community without resorting to name calling, flaming etc... but either contribute lighthearted comments... or solid advise in their particular field.

Let those people be an example of what we are looking for, here on MM...

All the best

P.S.: To the mods: I posted it on purpose in General Mayhem and not in Site Related Discussions. Don't move it and don't ban me(!) for posting in the "wrong" forum... PLEAZZEEE... big_smile

Ban all the regulars on April Fool's day 2007. Just for a few hours. That would be a good one.

Hell, if spelling and grammar were part of the criteria, there would hardly be anyone under 40 left on the site.
