Wow, I don't really know what to say to this.
1. Thank you 7nos-SS373dOH and SK for backing me up.
2. You won't be banned, I won't even infract you, but I just saw that SK gave you a warning. Imo what you wrote was extremely rude and you could have worded it way better, but I respect your opinion.
And btw, we mods cannot ban someone permanently, we have a point system, meaning that when you reach a certain number of infractions you are banned permanentely.
And now to your post:
I feel offended (mods have feeling too, you know) and I have to admit that it hurts my feelings quite a bit. As 7nos-SS373dOH said, we don't get any money for modding BL, we do it voluntary in our free time. And no, I don't sit here with a boner waiting for people to violate the rules so I can jack off while closing the thread and infracting them.
Other Drugs and Bluelight in general has rules and those rules are not meant to be broken. If there weren't any rules every second thread would be sourcing or dick sizing how many drugs one can take etc. so the valuable threads would be in the minority and harm reduction would go down the drain.
Yes, I closed a lot of threads in the last few days/weeks, not because it makes we feel good, but because those threads violate the rules and/or the posting standards of OD.
OD is for intermediate level and in-depth harm reduction questions and those threads I closed had nothing to do with that and i just follow the rules, just like anybody else. If you have a problem with the rules feel free to move on and search for a drug related forum without rules.
Maybe you remember the time where the OD mods all had some personal issues and no one really modded it ? In this time every other post violated the rules and I just want the best for OD, for it to get back in shape, valuable threads that encourage discussion and not just a yes/no answer. Maybe I'm too harsh, but not because it arouses me, but because I want the best for OD and want the people to acknowledge that OD is for intermediate and in-depth harm reduction questions.
If you have a problem with me closing a thread you can always PM me, I don't have a problem admitting that I made a mistake, when I in fact did make a mistake and as you might have seen I do re-open threads if the OP PMs me and has a good reason.
And you can always complain about me, just write the SMOD, in this case spacejunk, or alasdairm a PM and tell them why you think that I abuse my mod 'powers'. I'm not above the law of OD/BL and if they think I did abuse my 'powers' they'll do whatever they think is appropriate.
So to conclude, if you have a problem write me, or spacejunk or alasdairm , but don't just insult me in front of everyone, I think we both are above that kind of immature behavior and can discuss our problems properly.
Edit: I'll leave the thread open for you to write a more mature reply so people don't just judge you by your first post and come to the conclusion that you're an asshole.
But if anyone thinks insulting me or anobody else is a better way of complaining I'll close the thread and infract him/her
Edit 2: Regarding the warning. Someone reported your post (you mentioned a certain vendor twice in a thread), so I edited your posts and wrote you a PM, saying that I edited it and that that's your first and last warning. As a bluelighter you should know that vendor discusson is not allowed..
