Double standards of the moderators

Why the double standard??

Published on October 25, 2004 By Manya77 In Blogging

hello people...i would like to bring to your notice the double standards followed by the moderators over here.....here is the link to my article on how i had lost my virginity (Link)....i had started writing this after i had gone thru one such similar article by tangled wishes (Link).....i had actually decided to tone down my writings abt adult stuff and also my writings abt sex....but this article by tangled wishes tells us how she lost her virginity and it was written abt 6 mnths back and till abt 2 hrs back, it was in the forum...

now i have the moderator commenting on the my article that i should have marked mine as adult and that i should not have posted it in the forum.....the article by tangled wishes was not marked as adult (though it contained liberal use of words like sex, orgasm etc in the article and in the comments section as well) and was in the forum till abt 2 hrs back (though it was written more than 6 mnths back).....and i went thru the comments section of that article hoping to find atleast 1 comment by the moderator or any person that the content was inappropriate for a general audience but i found none.....on the contrary, in addition to the article, the comment section was full of praise for the article and also contained experiences of others on how they lost their virginity....

but within 3 hrs of my article being posted, my article has been removed.....
now i would like to know why the same was not done for the other article...why the other article was not asked to be marked as adult by the moderator though it has been in existence for the past 6 mnths....and also why the article was not removed till abt 2 hrs back....how come it took them 6 mnths while it took only 3 hrs...and why was such a comment placed on my article and not a single comment on the other article by the moderators?? why the double standards??

if a proper explanation is given for this double standards, i am ready to take back all the statements which i have talked abt above....

In the future if you have a problem with the way someone elses article is marked adult or not do not start a thread about it. send an email to an admin. Hell send an email to me and I'll do it for you, but no more articles degrading another user or the moderators.

I suggest that she be confined to her blog for a while at the very least.

You know what guys? I honestly think little Manya here just doesn't get. And I think that she has more than one thread that demonstrates that.

You know what else guys?? I think she never will get it. Perhaps Brad might consider starting a new site for our juvenile members.

I don't want to think that I am trying to pick on a newer member here. I just find it interesting that there have been repeated explanations and communications that have attempted to explain things to her, but they just seem to pass her by. There are rules, and like them or not, if you want to play in the sandbox you gotta play by the rules.

And the rules are fair ones... you forgot to add that.

you forgot to add that.

Heck, even if you don't think they are fair (which I certainly do BTW) you still need to play by them if you want to play here. It will never cease to amaze me that there are some people who seem to think they should be above the rules.

wanna be a moderator toooooooooooooooooo!

oh wait, it doesnt pay anything, does it....

never mind!

Forget money! I'll do it for unlimited trollings!!! HAHAHAHAHA! Ooopps, now I'll never get the job! Must remember to keep quiet parts quiet...

OK, back on topic...

would i let my sister read my article or tangled's article?? i would not.....my argument was that if my article is adult then so is tangled's

and i wanted to bring up this point and thats why i did not mark it as adult on purpose....

And yet, you still purposefully put it out there on the forums, improperly marked... that sounds exactly like the kind of moderator material this site needs... a reckless, devil-may-care person who sees the 'imperfections' in the system and knows that the only way to fix them is to exploit them in a very noisy and public manner... please... is this really what passes for common sense these days?

why others were allowed to get away and why i was caught....

I think this was answered and you've ignored it... feature not available at the time of the original post... off forums for months while feature added... forgotten, but acted on when it was found, just as yours was... please reread my question about common sense...

The end all point here (and the advice you've already ignored) - follow the rules. If you see someone else not doing it, report it. Don't use it as a grounds to break the rules yourself. And then try to turn it into a job interview... once more, reread question concerning common sense.

I don't think its moderators we need here... looks like we need a team of bby sitters.

As an aside, if Manya's a point whore she's doing a fabulous job!

I was just thinking the very same thing Floozie. And yet here I am, adding to it yet again.

well...u guys can keep ranting...i know the rules around here and i found a few things which were not by the rulkes....just as u people made a hue and cry abt my article on masturbation, i also raised this point abt the article.....why is it that u people did not mail the moderator abt the masturbation and the pic thing?? why were such baseless comments posted and a huge article saying 'manya77 is a fraud' started??

u people now advice me that i have to go by the rules and if i find something which is not according to the rules, then i need to report it....same case applies to u people....why did not anyone report ur concersn abt the pic and the masturbation article to the moderator?? why did everyone have to raise a hell in my blog abt it?? and why was a article calling me a fraud written?? well, u people could have acted in a matured manner and done what all u have adviced me to do now when u saw my article....why did u people not do it??

i perfectly understand that one article was missed and mine was not..sure...sounds perfect....i wanted to raise that issue and hence wrote that article..and i clearly said in my article that if a proper explanation was given, i would take back everything that i said...

but apart from karma, all i hear from the others is that i am a newbie, dont know anything etc etc.....well i could show many instances when u people had acted in an immature manner(by people, i dont mean all of u, i mean a few).....there were so many comments on tangled's article but why did not even a single person raise the issue that the content was not good??

why did not even a single person pass a comment that starting an article calling another gal as a fraud is childish?? is that these people who did the above are members for a long time and i am not?? all i hear from most of the above comments is that i a newbie, i wont understand, i will leave soon etc....is a newbie so bad?? is being a newbie a sin?? or is it that those who have been here for 6 mnths know everything and decide what should be written and what should not??

anyway, all i want to say is that it will be better if the rules are fairly applied....or i will stick to it all the same but u people can atleast try and understand the other side of the story.....

This is the point you keep missing. There was no such option as 'Contains Adult Material' at that time. And there are vast differences in the way she wrote about the topic than you.

Perhaps a sister site to JoeUser.com, aptly named JoeAbuser.com for our less than proper members...?
