In fact the owners can do what the hell they want really as long as they don't bully anyone. It is entirely funded by them and can thus be controlled by them. There is nothing that states this is a full democracy or that it requires to be that. And in fact a democracy does not work in all cases. For example there is 1 sheep and 2 wolves. The two wolves, who have the majority of the vote can in a full democracy vote to eat the sheep!!  |
Hey man, I'm not trying to re-write anything. They were ideas, ponderings, ways to try to fix the problem. Those are your words not mine Andrew, and I'm sorry what I wrote gave you that impression.
Bottom line is that people don't like when their posts get rewritten or removed. All I did...Let me repeat, ALL I DID, was put out an initial idea, just an inkling, a suggestion if you like, of how we could stop everyone from being upset all the time by their posts being torn apart. This is a discussion forum, and as such, I was discussing ideas for avoiding upset. Apparently, discussing that is actually causing upset though
So perhaps its easier to sweep things under the rug. Its all good, whatever works. I really don't care. Just trying to help. I come here because of Meat, and because there are some people here who are great fun, yourself included
But what really peeves me is when I make a suggestion, and in that suggestion I say *hey, this is an idea, lets discuss it*, and rather than discussing it, everyone gets mad at me for trying to help solve the problem that upsets them, and 2) point fingers at me like, "MATT YOU ARE TRYING TO BE GOD AND REWRITE THE RULES". That is so far from the truth hahah! Its an IDEA, not a mandate. I have no desire to be a mod! nor do I think I'm above or below anyone on here, nor am I trying to dictait something to the mods, nor do I think anything EXCEPT that a user's words perhaps shouldn't be edited, and here are some suggestions for working around that if the people want it. The mods on here do a great job, AS I POSTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE THREAD
This is about what the people want, what everyone feels is right! So can we stick to that rather than finger pointing? :P
