representative democracy
 

it is absolutely ridiculous that netphoria is an apointative oligarchy. that people pakula basically randomly selects get to make up the most ridiculous, half-assed rules and actually get to enforce them. apparently the beauty that is robert frost is at great peril in existence in my sig because this moron andrew pakula decided to give certain powers has an inflated sense of his powers. if mods are given the right to make laws then they should be fucking elected by the people. i don't live in an oligarchy in real life, and there's no reason netphoria should be any different.

who pays the server bills, you or pakula

lol, will you drop this...its not going to get anywhere..(no intent to flame...this is just my 2 cents)

mike gaddrow sure as fuck doesn't pay them.

yes, but he is the one pakula has chosen to do this job.

did pakula choose him because he has a smart sense of when it is necessary to edit threads or just becaue he was there? did gaddrow pass some fucking iq test? obviously not. he's a retard. i'm not putting up with a retard for a moderator who thinks it's necessary to not mind his own fucking business. it's not porn. it's not offensive. it's not even trolling. it's just a fucking poem by robert frost.

Re: representative democracy
 

have you ever heard the phrase "it's a fucking messageboard" before?

if not, IT'S A FUCKING MESSAGEBOARD.

but it is over 4 lines.

i don't care if it's a message board. it's a violation of my right of self-determination. it's my fucking sig and it's not hurting anyone. i've never used it in a spamming manner. i generally post it in my own threads, so it's not really much of a distraction anyways since they're in my thread and the only person i'd be offending is myself. it shouldn't be such a big deal.

Robert frost offends some people.

who cares?

the rules do. and the mods enforce those rules.

Mike Gaddrow.

yeah well i'm offended by cheese what ar eyou gonna do about it?

how is it abuse if they are enforcing the rules?

does his sig have ANYTHING to do with cheese?

\

wow you just mentioned cheese. that was totally unnecessary. i hope someone edits your post.

you're dumb. you got tripped up and you have nothing to say.
fuck you for being an ignorant bitch.

yes you will and you are

lol. i got tripped up? how about i was joking around and you're too stupid to know the definition of a joke. or how about i was implying something by saying cheese offends me (ie people get offended by really weird shit) and you were too dumb to notice that and of course, since you are so dumb, assumed i must be referring to ******'s sig, because your mind has to draw linear lines like that, 'cause you're stupid, and since ******'s sig doesn't have cheese in it, you assume i'm dumb (because your mind is incapable of self-doubt), instead of actually thinking 'hm maybe i'm just misunderstanding her point'

my conclusion? stop calling me stupid when really you're the stupid one. there really is nothing worse than a dumb person who goes around calling other people dumb when really he's just too stupid to get what they're saying.

it's like me walking up to a french person and going 'wow that made no sense. you are so dumb'

but your sig isnt being edited cause its offensive or unnecessary. its being edited cause its too long. u dig? glenn put up the new rules with the board change. just like all caps topics get closed or deleted cause its a rule - enforced by moderators who are hot and cuddly and i would like to make sweet man love too.

but why is it a rule? there's no reason for it to be a rule. it's a stupid rule. the '4 line per sig' rule is completely arbitrary and dumb. i hardly ever post my sig and when i do it's for a reason. there's no reason it should be deleted just because it's as little too long. i mean because i have something in my sig it can be deleted but when it's in my actual post it's okay? do you get what i'm saying?

So was I once myself a swinger of birches.
And so I dream of going back to be.
It's when I'm weary of considerations,
And life is too much like a pathless wood
Where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs
Broken across it, and one eye is weeping
From a twig's having lashed across it open.
I'd like to get away from earth awhile
And then come back to it and begin over.
May no fate willfully misunderstand me
And half grant what I wish and snatch me away
Not to return. Earth's the right place for love:
I don't know where it's likely to go better.
I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree
And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk
Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
But dipped its top and set me down again.
That would be good both going and coming back.
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.

like i post that in my post and they can't delete it because there's no reason to. well the purpose of my sig is to just save it somewhere so instead of actually going through the process of posting it all i have to do is click a button. it's like a macro or something. and the fact that there's some retarded limit on what i'm allowed to save to this little file, fo rno fucking reason, it's just ridiculous. if i can post more than 4 lines of text in my actual thread then why not in my sig? the focus shouldn't be on length of sig but on the act of spam or trolling. seriously. it's just a dumb law.

limited vocabulary 4 U?

regardless. you're a neurotic bitch.

just make it smaller.

i think thats the only answer here.

since you like comparing real life to this board, try using this excuse to a cop.

"but, sir, i think going 70 miles an hour is a stupid rule. i'm only going 90 because it's not offending anyone and i only do it 3 times a month. seriously, that's a dumb rule."

dumb bitch would be in handcuffs so fast...

it's a stupid rule
arbitrary and dumb
it's just a dumb law
