The Will Of The People? Mob Rule?

[TheEnforcer]

I can see what you mean and understand what you are going for. That said, onne of my big worries is that mod status would be abused and any little thing that gets under someone's skin get deleted or modified. One of the MMORPG terms for PvP play is a "carebear" environment where tough situations causes people to be overly sensitive. Trying to keep the line between still being able to offer the frank assessments and such that oprano is known for while still being able to attract new webamsters and a "carebear" environment where frank exchanges of ideas and such is taken away might be a hard dance to do with such a set-up. Just something to think on.

Valid point.. The moderators would be held to a higher standard. There would be two ways to get in trouble around here.. create an unfriendly environment and abuse admin power. Think of the moderator access as a very large gun. When the trigger has been pulled you had better have a good reason to have done it. Do I expect people to abuse it? Absolutely! Do I think they could make this place worse than what we see it from time to time? NO.

I would rather this place self regulate.

i would tend to agree with you. for whatever reason, be it in life, politics or whatever... the fears are always overstated and the reality will never live up to it.

the only way to know for certain.. is to be bold and take risks.

Ok.. thanks for the answer. We'll see what happens. Regardless it will be interesting to watch and observe.

It has always self-regulated.

Unfortunately the selfregulation involved kicking a lot of newbies in the nuts.

People who are new to the industry are bad? People who are established money makers in this industry but not as big as you are bad? I don't think so. What some of the old timers think of as morons, and newbies, are making a living doing this type of work.

The opinion of the masses is more important than any of our individual opinions.

AMEN brother, however that idea will have some struggle here at cheers where only the regulars will allow themselves to be welcomed.

I hope it works out Bishop, I would like to see Oprano become a meaningful board and it has the potential it just needs to lose the bagage.

but according to many of the regulars and old timers or people like Anthony and Nick ( batman and robin) I am just a broke stupid newbie so I will keep my opinion to myself I wouldnt want to upset Nickatylinx and have him try to bring his legendary rath of lawsuits and ability to run people like me out of the industry . Who knows he may try to all people an say bad things or lies about me in order to influence them.

and heaven forbid I piss off someone with NO ACTUAL ADULT business in lew of a handful of people actually tring to do adult business.


ROCK ON man you have my well wishes and support , for watever that is worth to ya .
