I hope he stops by to explain himself. This really does seem like an injustice to me.

Blame the scroll wheel on my mouse.
I was moving hengky_pw's posts from GD to the relevant WA3 forums. Managed to move a couple, but ^that^ one somehow screwed up & evaded me. Sorry, lol :o :D

You may or may not have been referring to me, but I'll answer in any case I tried to make it clear throughout the day that I have no problem with the mods. In fact, many of them are close friends of mine, and the rest, I have nothing but respect for. In the entire day, I have seen not one bit of flaming, except for that aimed towards smeggle. That was wholly unproductive, and completely skirted the issue of intrinsic injustice within the system of law we have set up in these forums.

I think it's absolutely necessary to question authority, if authority is being imposed injustly.

I wasn't referring to you - I've got no problem with your posts, and have the utmost respect for you as a member of the forums. I also know for sure that you obviously know the mods very well (even looking by your post count, and the date you joined the forums you can see that you'll have had many interactions with the mods (not in a bad way) and with that you'll have at least got to know a bit about them).

I was just kind of trying to make the point that the way I've been brought up is to err more on the side of discretion, or at the very least politeness. If I have a problem with a decision made by a mod, I would personally contact them directly in private first. If, after discussing the decision, I still was unsatisfied I might air my views more publicly - or perhaps talk with a different mod about it. I was really referring to those people that take the decisions more personally, and then have open arguments with mods, which get more personal than actually anything to do with the decision made.

As for the flaming of members who make stupid posts, feel free to go right ahead :)

Heh... maybe I should have contacted a mod directly... it was an honest mistake after all. But without making it public, Nem wouldn't have told me who locked the thread :confused:

Frankly the problem with suicide is the human mind and the way it is forced to look at things. The human mind is a mostly logical thing of in itself and cannot see itself as being gone. You ever try to imagine being dead? Its impossible. So when people are going through a hard time they want anything to make the pain better, and suicide seems like a way to do this. When they say they want the pain to go away, I think the mind is really calling for peace or contentment. So suicide will stop the pain and therefore the mind equates it to making the pain better. Death does not make it better; it makes the pain not exist anymore (along with anything else for that matter). Causing a problem to not exist anymore and finding a solution to a problem are two different things. I don’t know, I’m rambling, but people seem to think death is an answer. It’s not an answer, it’s an end and there is a distinction.

Another problem is people who get depressed can even start to think about suicide if they don't want to... it's a bit hard to explain :igor:

About censorship... I dunno. I think on a Winamp forum it probably should be allowed, although I wouldn't care about seeing those pics or whatever. It's nothing new to me :( I guess I am lucky that after viewing things like that it doesn't ever pop into my head again, I always expect that I'll see it when I try to sleep.
