Surely, I enjoy how the previously blocked and deleted threads happened so quick. Also the fact that neither thread broke the rules stated in the link at the top provided by computerforums.com Perhaps the interpretations are not clear enough on what's allowed and what isn't. Certainly I enjoy my bill of rights, but it seems overkill to lock a thread which discusses mods' thread topics of users.

I'm sure as fast as some you can read this the same will happen, and in all likely hood I will receive an infraction if not become banned. This is nothing new to me. I am graded upon my professionalism at my school. I take it all quite seriously, but it seems to be overkill silly online.

Rules = what mods feel like doing

this is a forum the ones who run it will always do what they want whether it falls within the stated rules or not. If a Mod wants to delete something just because they have a hair across their butt they will. Why, because they have that power.

Look at a cop for example they are supposed to pull you over for suspicion etc... I know for a fact that cops will pull over people just to harass them, how do I know this my cousin is a cop and he does it to people he just doesnt like. Does that make it right HELL NO, but he out right abuses the power of the badge. Mods can and will do the same thing on EVERY forum, as far as I'm concerned I could careless because I dont want to get involved in forum drama, I have better things to worry about in my normal life. Not to mention I'm not the one paying to run this thing, if you not a paying member I dont think you should care. Who cares if they talk behind your back, I bet if you put a tape recorder on you best friends and listened to them talk when you are not around you will hear them talking junk about you.....it is human nature

Then we go back to our government. Isnt our country ran the same way? lol.

The rules posted at the top of the forum do not apply to situations where previously priveledged members violate their responsibility to ensure behind the scenes discussions remain there.

It is an unwritten rule that was enforced tonight, but a rule nevertheless that holds true for all moderators, administrators, super administrators and VIP's, which states that private discussions must remain private. In the same way, PM messages from members to other members are not snooped on by any Administrator who feels like being nosey. The issue is privacy and confidentiality, not legality.

Then why even have a set of number guidelines instead of a page that just says "Rules are base upon the moderators' moods, lifestyles, or impulses."

EDIT: I wouldn't have a problem with that but I believe in stating your true intentions.

That's going to happen no matter what. Administration is corrupt. Period.

no offence, but that is complete bull. i've had pm's "snooped on", on other forums and i'm sure this one aswell. admins can be as nosey as they please, and they will be. anyone who wants the links to the pics can "privately pm me"
