A clear case of "I don't like the poster, so we'll act with a heavy hand."
sssshhh don't say that, anytime I say that (outside this thread for some odd reason) I get post after post after post; even PM's from inks, telling me that it's just not true!

I love this thread too. I love the popular outcry against the stop-at-nothing, and also selectively harebrained, moderators, who see Atlas as their own lump of Play-Doh, ready to be molded into any ball, cylinder, or, given their likely predilections, inverted penis, that they wish.

That's creepy, Mr. Moderate. You keep Tweed in a secret place and punish him when you feel he deserves it... but in a way that nobody, not even him, can see...

You should consider yourself lucky. The only thing that keeps you around is that the moderators can't ban you without having to ban BRTD likewise.

Unlike him, I have never been over 100 infraction points (or even 50 for that matter). Not that I support banning him mind you or even most of his infractions. I'd like to note that based on the infraction system the big black cock incident was apparently equivalent to a stupid unfunny joke about living in Siberia.

If every moderator who wanted to resign was allowed to resign, the forum wouldn't have any moderators left.

Oh, I agree 100%. Inks is generally a fair moderator. I just think this particular case was a bad call. And anybody who uses a term like "anti-pro-heterosexual" deserves to be run through the coals a few times. But perhaps we've roasted him a bit too much.
I think if Inks is resigning, all the moderators should resign. Because all of them deserve to be moderators less than Inks.

It perplexes me that Teddy is so f**king paranoid too. If there was some big conspiracy against him he would've been banned long ago.

I think Lunar tried to resign too, and he still has a forum somehow, which also showed a great example to the dumbness in the current system when a reported post of mine went ignored for several days and he popped back in briefly after a several month absence and infracted me for it.

I'm only paranoid because when I show that the system has glaring flaws, people do not like it, be it here on the atlas, on other websites, or out in the real world. People don't like to be told they are doing something wrong.

That obviously was not the reason he resigned. But I'll let him explain himself if he wants to.

I considered that the more lenient option, rather than deleting it or whatever. All I have never heard of that movie; all I did was edit your post to match the title of the youtube video you posted so that the racist word was removed.
