Thats bullshit Geo, yet again you give no credit to anyone. You think anyone who cares about this place would look down on the reporting of misinformation? Nope. They would only give a damn about the petty uses of the button. Your right no one likes a snitch, but most that make that distinction between people admit there are times when its nesecary. And the guy who reports a one line "flame" in a few paragraphs just cause it hurts his feelings is a duche, ESPECIALLY when he gets in his jabs and jokes in, (if not more) just cause hes passive aggressive little coward. THAT IS A SNITCH.
You people are too comfortable with teh way things are.

So if someone doesnt agree with you, they must be sheep?
You seem to have alot of derision towards this community and the people in it. But you've stayed around a long time. Whats the deal?
Like it or not, you dont have free speEch. Even less here than in the real world. Whether you agree with them or not, the rules are in place and are in place for a reason. Some people here do not like being told what to do. Thats why we have OTD. Feel free to say whatever the fuck you want in there. Nobody cares.
My feeling is, if you have SO many people notifying mods about your post, your probably doing something wrong. I dont know you, and I dont know what you say, but maybe your just coming across as an asshole all the time? I dont know. But if this doesnt happen to everyone else, maybe the problem is on your end.
Anonymity is nice for the community. If I see "B00M3RZ420" make his very first post asking if anyone will send him mush, I should be able to let someone know without him having the information to annoy me in retaliation.

Yeah, there was some idiot on here yesterday... he posted something like:
Wow, you guys are so lucky to have these RC sources. I'd never ask anyone for a source, thats against the rules. But I'm a pretty lonely guy, so if anyone wants to, um, "chat" give me a PM!
That kind of stupidity is what the button is for. Granted, in that case I wouldn't mind having a "YOUR BITCH ASS got notified by ELGR!", but that isn't always the case.

I understand completely now... you want someone to retaliate against

I odnt hink the mods are right or wrong, I think they are SEPERATE from the rest of the community. they do their thing to keep the order, I agree someone has to do it. However they should not be "protecting" anyone.
why shouldnt we mode be protecting the users here? IRL I've worked as a floor manager, I regularly had to protect some customers from others, it's a small part of the job, being a moderator here is similar, suppose someone that has made a few trades with you decides they suddenly dont like you, the figure it's cool to post your info, shouldnt we delete that, suppose we got to it through through the button, should we post the username of the person that was helping to protect you
Quote:
Its nto like they get voted in or anything, or that we could kick them out of the mod club if people get pissy about getting recognized as a SNITCH. Who cares what a snitch thinks? THey certainly dont care what us "rulebreakers" think.
Mods can be 'voted' out, it's a fact, and your right, no one cares what the 'rule breakers' think, they're trying to disrupt the converstations and fun of the other users, why should anyone care what they think, is having a post of your edited such a big deal, is recieving a warning the end all for you? I'd really hate to see what you do over a real conflict in your life.
Quote:
Take responsibility for yourself.
funny... is that what you're doing now? asking us to give up 'snitches' shows just the opposite, when 'm arrested, I take responsibility, who cares if I was ratted out, I did what I did and I got caught because I was careless.
Quote:
And someone who snitches repeatedly shouldnt have respect, because he is playing his own power game. I have no respect for those who use power. You mods dont give people enough respect.
respect is earned, not given, when a post is reported it's becase someone showed a lack of respect for the community and/or a particular user, did the offending party earn respect? do you even know what respect is or how it's earned?

nope I dont snitch shirley. They tried when I got arrested, but I dont play that game.

yes you should post it then I could thank him. This is not all about retaliation man, its about being a man. Do you know anything about THAT?

This is the internet, not real life. You follow the rules put in place by the administration, and if you break them, you should be punished.
"Being a man" or being exposed as the person who hit the button is worthless, as it would deter people from doing so.

so even in real life, you'd never go to the bosses about someone, or blow a whistle? i bet we can all think of situations where you would in a heartbeat. something bigger than you could cope with, involving a close family member or your finances, for example.
my point is that every rule has an exception, and here on the net, different people have different sensitivities. why embarass people for speaking up? let the mods take a look at the post in question, and decide for themselves.

You can't compare the rules of this site to the laws of a country. You don't have to be here, you don't have to post here, your presence here is entirely volountary. By choosing to post here, you choose to follow the site rules.
If you break the site rules, it doesn't matter who informs the mods - the informant isn't responsible for what is unacceptable here, the site is.
Being a "snitch" is only considered negative if you disagree with the underlying law. I wouldn't snitch on someone who smoked weed or downloaded music illegally, because I don't agree with my local laws on those topics. If someone was a paedophile, I wouldn't feel any guilt "snitching" on them, because I agree with paedophilia being illegal. If someone was a mugger, I wouldn't feel guilty reporting them, because I agree that mugging being illegal.
By posting here, you're implicitly confirming that you agree with the site rules (or else why would you be here?). Why would you feel animosity towards someone for trying to enforce rules you agree with? Why would you want to identify people who try and help with reporting breaches of the rules if they wish to remain anonymous?
By asking for informants to be identified, you are essentially asking the site administration to implement a feature that condemns the site rules, and that makes a statement that helping them to be enforced is a negative activity.

We need an "Anarchy button", or one that says "I don't give a flying fuck".
Then there would be an alternate method for those with massively developed non-snitching morals who would rather not click the little snitch-whistle.
Also, whenever the little snitch-whistle is pressed, it should animate, a loud whistle sound should play , and you should be able to see steam coming from it.
Maybe a little policeman should then come running in from the side of the screen, scurry about the post in question looking at the post line by line with a little magnifying glass.

being a man means you dont have to know who ratted you out, it means you dont whine and cry about being ratted out on a message board, being a man means you take responsibility for your actions, not trying to find someone else to blame

This thread sucks. Blaze, get over it. People are going to narc here, and you're not helping the situation at all. I for one would be entirely more willing to report a post of yours now just because I've had to see this thread come to the top of the forum for too long now.
This is a non-issue. The mods/admins are not going to change it so the narc gets identified. If your feelings were hurt that bad, leave. Trying to find out who turned you in by saying it would be the manly thing to do is ridiculous. I'll take the blame if it makes you happy. I'll take the blame for every notification that happens. Everytime someone blows the whistle, put big bold letters that say "daimyo narced you". I'll start it now, I narced on you and I'm going to do it everytime you make an inappropriate post

This thread has been closed.
Reason: Well, that was amusing. But I think it's pretty clear we're not gonna implement this narc labelling system - so since the topic has been fairly well exhausted, to the bottom of the barrel it goes!
