 That's what he wants us to believe.  

[Moolah!]

Would be interesting to find out more about this:

Are you going to be deleting the hate messages, or will you still leave them?

[Inquiring Minds]

Raging Poodle, if you're so concerned about having hate messages deleted, then why don't you delete this hate thread about you on DS?  You have the power to delete it.  Are you not going to hold yourself to the same standard of accountability as you're expecting from the Moderators?

[ForSure]

Finally the rules are there on DV.  They show up when you post, which makes sense as the drama and hate only happen when people post.  Good on the web-site administrators.  



IMPORTANT: A hate/bias crime is a criminal offence. If you post something that is against the law and the police request your IP, it WILL be released to them. Please be careful about what you post as we've had several departments of the RCMP in our offices the past few weeks collecting information on offenders.

 Only time will tell if the current mods will enforce them.  

[wtf]

12.  ..... requires that members respect the decision of moderators.
Threads and posts questioning the actions or decisions of forum moderations will be deleted on sight, and the appropriate action taken (up to and including forum bans) against the thread starter and/or participants.

   But #8 cancels that out:

  8,  [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffbf"]If you are a long standing member, act like one. Lead by example and assist other newer members rather then attacking them. [/FONT]We look upon our veteran members to use this opportunity to teach the newer members the appropriate way to use the message boards.

[Moolah!]

Those are just CZ's rules and are mostly applicable to CZ.



I pointed out that DV didn't have a PM system for example. (because rule 1 is talking about harrassment through PM for example) And that message was immediately deleted.



I seriously question the sincerity behind that link.



It all comes down to enforcement and accountability. And DV has neither.



Enforcement is totally arbitrary. And accountability is non existent.

 X is the only mod with a level head.  Honestly, I don't understand why the mods on DV still hang around, as if they have to explain their actions over and over again. It's like trying to scold five year olds for putting their fingers in the cookie jar.

  X is actually the main shithead who believes all hate threads should remain.



"We don't have to explain our actions to anyone" Steve's famous instructions... that have led to all the arrogance and powertripping on DV today.

[/DIV]

And I see that you're still stuck with your old habits, aren't you Lise? That phrase you used, "as if they have to explain their actions over and over again" is the underlying reason why one sees so much corruption, filth and games on DV right now.



Without realizing, and without any clear supervision and accountability, everyone seemed to get carried away in their self righteousness.



If you went back today, I bet you'd fit right in.



   

[What will they do]

No Racism, No Threatening, No (citing) Victimization or Hateful posts / Retaliation of any kind against a member, or group of members. Hateful post will NOT be tolerated. Any Racist or Threatening posts will result in the suspension of the user account. Don't test your limit.

Clearly this thread is not only hateful, but it also incites and encourages hatred against long standing and highly regarded [img alt="" src="vny!://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon/icon_smile_wink.gif[/img] contributors of this bulletin board.

Under the old rules I would've laughed. But now I want to see what the mods will do about this.

Are you going to delete the thread or not? If not, why not? [/p][/td][/tr][/tbody][/table]
 [table id="Table2" style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 10pt; color: midnightblue;" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="1" width="100%"] [tbody] [tr bgcolor="whitesmoke"] [td style="font-weight: bold;" align="left" valign="top"]Orik[/td] [td colspan="2"][img title="" alt="" src="vny!://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon_posticon.gif" border="0" height="15" hspace="3" width="15"][font size="1"]Posted - 3/29/2007 6:19:17 PM[/font] [hr noshade="1" size="1"] All i can say is. according to the new rules this thread is a attempt to incite hatred towards others of good standing on this here forum and should be immediately deleted...

that is if the mods will actually follow and enforce the new rules... [/td][/tr][/tbody][/table]
