Mods are people too, they deserve some credit for the job they do...

I may not agree with every mods action or every mods inaction but that is what makes the mayhem go round...

I have never been vulgar to other on MM and I don't see why other have to be. A little friendly conversation is all that it take to stay out of the Brig...
Remember, If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all.

And this comes from a guy who is known to have a very bad temper. But I try to keeping in check unless it is a politics...

I was banned from a company's forum once for talking about a competitor's product... Personally I think the moderator's here are pretty lenient compared to some other sites... (BTW - Please don't ban me) wink

Well, eventually people will just stop posting here in the forums. I'll admit to being trigger happy myself, but I also like to have a clear target and plenty of bullets when I shoot from the hip.

But Udo, it was when I used the CAM  feature that I was put on probation. This may be why some people are now afraid.

I haven't read the rules and I don't intend to.  I sort of assume that common sense dictates.  But I have seen photographers I know and repect deleted.  I see plenty of deleted profiles in comments and tags.  Do I know what they did wrong?  Nope.  Do I worry that'll happen to me?  A little.  Like E.T. said.  Be Good.

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

Sorry...but if there wasn't a problem, you wouldn't have to explain it.  The fact is that MM is no different than any other site I've belonged to:  PhotoSig...DeviantArt...whatever.  The rule is almost always defined by the exceptions. 

The one time I've been [temporarily] banned here was for something so comically trivial that only a cheeseburger could mistake it for anything other than the result of a personality conflict between myself and the moderator in question.  I've gotten away with plenty [before and since], that a less well-known member would have gotten disciplined for.

Hey, I'm not sayin'...I'm just sayin'.

Why hasn't anyone pointed out that the OP was personally attacking people who put "please don't ban me" in their posts. Shouldn't he be banned for that???

That's where the distinction between a general statement and a personal attack comes in handy! Right?!

How comes that you know so little about the rules of MM after 300 plus posts???

Do you need a link to our rules and TOS'?
