    WTF HAS BEING CLEVER OR INTELLIGENT GOT TO DO WITH BEING BANNED ,
    if they were that clever they woulds still be here, not everyone on dp is really clever and intelligant ( most come to learn ) and for every really clever and intelligent person that is banned , another 5 come along and join dp .

    BANNED IS BANNED , even if you are clever

    cheers karl

    Look Saad,

    I appreciate ur love for DP. We all love DP(loved DP) and thats why I am fighting, or else I have other things to do where I can earn dollars in this time:cool:

    Ok, I think I have made my point, so will not stretch this one again. I am stopping it here. I just hope I get the DP back which I loved.

    If somebody else feels somewhere that I am true, do post , just don't be a spectator and leave away..

    Spidey.

    Thread is well said, I agree with this thread started.. the term being ":eek: ver Modding"

    And yes, I know many will say.. if you have such a problem then don't post.. to that...

    Yes, I post very less now days :D . I don't see any funny or witty posts. Place has gone too serious. :(

    This is my opinion. Everyone's free to disagree. :p

    I would say that any given month the average DP intelligence level increases rather than decreases thanks to bans, as does the MTBSP (Mean Time Between Stupid Posts).

    I hope by "clever and intelligent" you mean those of us who communicate accurately and without irritating grammatical errors.

    I'll tell you like I tell the folks on my forum: The rules are clearly stated. You agreed to them. If you change your mind, no one's forcing you to be here. There are other forums.

    Or, go create your own, and see what a PAIN it is to please all of the people, all of the time.

    IMO this is a webmaster forum, general chat is just a side show. There were great members here 6 months ago and there are great members here today. Saying all the good members are gone is just silly. People come and people go - that's just the nature of forums.

    If we unbanned all the banned people this forum would be a giant spam dump. When people are banned 99.9% of time it's for the greater good of the forum.

    Or it shows that if they were a mod they may even consider it a bump, otherwise, why comment at all?

    Use the new post button and start something interesting.

    I'm one of the "new mods" and think I've banned one or two people - both of which deserved it. From what I've seen in my short time as a mod here the mod team is very permissive and tend to give people the benefit of the doubt until they push things too far.

    Opinions will vary.

    Are you going to give us those examples?
    It's hard to audit the mods without them!

    It's a internet forum. There are many like it, if you dont like this one, try another one.

    When McDonalds started putting those tiny onions on there burgers, I didnt complain... I tried Wendy's.

    seems no one addressed the "why don't post in general chat" part of your...complaint? i'll do it:

    when you post in general chat you tend to post useless things like "lol". or worse, if you post in P&R, you tend to attack other members just because everyone doesn't agree with anyone. and we're a community of learners, of teachers, and of sharers. fighting online is NOT what professionals do.

    DP harsh? why a P&R section then? why not just completely dump the entire section (pretty useless section anyway) and ban anyone who talks about it? that would be harsher, isn't it? after all it's a webmaster forum. why have a P&R section? it's for people who insist on wanting to fight it out with other people. i think that's pretty liberal already.

    DP harsh? why does anyone NEED to post "pm sent" at all?? if you sent a PM, you sent it. it appears in the User CP, in a popup window, and/or in email. how could anyone miss it? why the need to post that? contrary to what you claim, it is posts like this which degrade the quality of the forums.

    DP harsh? then tell me, why haven't i gotten a SINGLE INFRACTION the one year+ that i've been here? never. do you know why? i try to stick by the rules. and "despite" that, i had a lot of fun here. i learnt a lot. if I, a college TEENAGER, can follow the rules, why not most others who complained about infractions?
    on the other hand, you can't expect people to keep mending you when you make mistakes. someday you gotta learn to do things right. infractions are DP's way of mending. so that statement of yours is already untrue.
    and i will say here that that's the problem with overly smart intelligent people; they tend to think of themselves as above the rules/everyone else.
    are you implying that all of us who remained are not clever? i don't mind if you are referring to me, but there's a good bunch of DP members here who are intelligent. (not including mods) aditya_sfs, saad, amitpatel, denise, all who have intelligence level beyond their typical age group. jennM, jason, and a whole host of others who are high-flying professionals in their fields. they don't deserve the tag "not clever". far from it. they have my utmost respect, as are many many others.
    i have greened many people because their posts are funny/witty, and i have received greens from people saying i posted funny things. it's just your sense of humor that is too limited.
