I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

I am here today to talk about title bar favourtism. It has been a topic that has been disccused many times over the years, and basically is the idea that Moderators are more lenient on people with "older" title bars. If one is mythic or heroic, a mod might let your post slide, even if it breaks the rules.

While it is not proven, and clearly does not work all the time, there is no doubt that certain moderators do hold favouritism.

A perfect example would be in a thread that happened today, with the mod known by most as "Foman".

Probably would rather have a post in the thread.
You're uglier than a baboon with jock itch.

The person Foman quoted was simply replying honestly to a thread; just following the rules and posting in ways a respectable member should. But that wasn't good enough for Foman. He needed to assert his dominance and resorted to insulting and belittling someone who was posting politely and honestly.

In fact, this insult wasn't even an isolated incident. For eight pages (at the time of this posting) Foman has belittled and degraded every one of the posters who he has troll-baited into honestly replying to his thread.

For my last point, I will quote the rules of the website.

- Respect your fellow members, or at least tolerate them publicly. Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated, even if they probably deserve it.
Foman clearly was not respecting that person, or any of the other members who replied to his thread. While one might expect this from a regular user, Foman is a moderator. He broke the very rules he is supposed to enforce.

So, the Bungie.net community, what do you think of this behaviour? And to you Foman, how can you even stand to look yourself in the mirror?

Same goes with that OP to! Everyone needs to lighten up. The rules on this site are not perfect.

Edit: Looks like Fomy's thread got locked, guess I'm done posting in the mains tonight.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

Aww, it was getting good.

It's all for -blam!-s and giggles, though.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

I got a permanent ban after I obtained my blue bar and most recently got a ban for a successful joke thread.

So no, just no.

I find that Teh-Ziod is NOT attractive for the reasons
she/he does not correct format sentences, therefore for intelligent matured members of society that may interact with her/him, may find her/him UNattractive for the reason that she/he does not comprehend with their level to successfully have a conversation therefore it will be socially an awkward interaction which may be wanted to be avoided

second i do not find it physically possible for a PERSON to be a ice cream truck.

You guys should feel lucky, you all got ridiculed, I guess I'm not even worthy of ridicule.

We need to end the oppression. Members will look back on this day and realize equality was achieved when tenacious Tyrion toppled Foman's tasteless tableau of tyranny with his tantalizingly tactful topic.
