I really think the rep system contributes to the negativity.
People always wanna be the first to post 'OP is a ****' or 'indians are curry smelling betas'
Or 'sloots gonna sloot' because other posters reward thwm for posting it.
If only helpful positive posts got repped then this place would change overnight.

But I think the rep system can also be the solution. I regularly rep people who go toe to toe with hateful posters and people who post positive things, etc.
My rep power has done fine without me posting things like what you listed and without posting hateful/negative things.++ Positive crew ++

Except they aren't here to lead you anywhere, just to keep things corralled and under control.
Yours is a post that perfectly demonstrates that people just can't be satisfied.
You blame them and say they need to lead people in a better direction.
If they did that you would instead be saying 'you're not the boss of me or here to tell me what to do.'

Yea. And I'm sure I'm gonna get a whole bunch of "you're siding with them just because you were a mod" arguments. If I cared that much, I would still be a mod though, wouldn't I?
I hold no allegiance. I keep my mouth shut about things that went on behind closed doors because I'm a man of my word, but beyond that, the staff all know that I have no problem expressing my opinions whether it be for OR against them. I just often refrain from the latter because I have a certain way of expressing myself that would likely lead to a ban (and since they are a fair bunch, they're not going to play favorites simply because I used to work with them. I am not above the law.)
I'm just able to speak first hand since I've seen things from both sides.
It happens the same way every time.
People complain about too much (insert anything here: racism/misogyny/anti-semitism/etc). Steps are taken to curb it. Then it's complaints about too much censorship.
It's like a broken record.
Some people just need something to bitch about at all times. I would be willing to bet these are the same people making threads about girls not liking them and all this other crap. Well fuk..... look at yourself, impossible to please. Is it really any mystery?

Trinity is so nice. I posted a food thread the other night and she left me a really nice message even though it was a day later. Wasn't even a 10/10 meal either. You could tell the Misc has been negative because I was actually taken aback that someone would take the time to leave a positive message lol.

I agree. Seen both sides as well and there is no happy medium for anyone and for those that think its an "us vs them" where mods and members are concerned, mods can confirm that myself and some mods had our battles when I was a mod. That's life. I've experienced so much real life in the past year that some things you miscers complain about here wants me to climb through my computer and shove my foot up your @$$es! Real talk! Its a forum...Entertainment (misc that is). Stop getting your titties tied up in a flipping knot over petty crap. Enjoy this place sensibly which is in place for free.

Deep down the Misc is a business and the owners of the site want to maintain or get even more traffic. Regardless how anyone spins it, there's good mods and there's mods who will do as they please. OP could challenge people to change and be more positive, but that's like going to a hangout full of gangbangers and telling them to drop their banging ways. It's not going to happen. The negativity here isn't a two-three person thing. If anything it's the majority. I often see BB.COM staff downplay the issue. The way I look at it is that BB.COM staff will let sh*t happen and then fix it afterwards. I just don't see an enough effort by BB.COM staff to prevent sh*t from happening. When sh*t does happen like the College kid who shot all those people, then BB.COM reacts. It almost seems like BB.COM wants the negative publicity, but when people come to BB.COM to see what the fuss is about, threads are deleted. I'm sure whatever it's that BB.COM is doing it's within the law. That said, seems to me like Tacky Marketing.

If you take off your tinfoil hat for a second, you'll realize that what is really going on is that a balance is trying to be maintained. The forum is here for people to enjoy, but of course you're going to get people who push things too far. And unfortunately, some sheep are going to go along with the herd to try to look "edgy" or cool. When something becomes enough of an issue, then an effort is made to restore the balance. For every person that thinks the balance is too strict, there is another who thinks it's too lenient.
In any event, where that balance lies is up to the decision of the site owners and administrators. The handful of moderators simply do their best to keep the balance.
But personally, I find the accusation that anyone here wants people to be killed to drum up sales insulting.☠ By reading this post, you have agreed to my negative reputation terms of service.
