Subject: Next time AnandTech needs service they should use this...

Post: Technical difticulties.

***

The post was gone a few moments later. I thought maybe it was a glitch or something so I posted again. This time it was deleted and the mod sent me a PM that started this conversation.

----

AnandTech Moderator: Are you retarded or what?

Me: Well it would have been nice for you to have told me why you deleted my first post. For all I knew it was a glitch that my first was blown away.

So why, may I ask, did you delete it?

Mod: It was asinine.

Me: And this is O.K?

What in God's name is wrong with posting a harmless clip from a classic cartoon show?

Mod: Didn't see that, thanks.

What was wrong with your thread was your juvenile attempt to denegrate AnandTech and all the hard work we do. If you don't like it here, leave.

Me: I was trying to add a touch of wit to my post. Would you have rather me say "LOL! Look what I found on YTMND!" that 80% of other posters do?

I think you are being more juvenile since you deleted my first post with no explanation and then insulted my intelligence when I posted it again.

If you are in such a sour mood that you can't see I was joking you should let another Mod jump in while you cool off.

Mod: LOL
How about I give YOU some time off to cool down?

Me: "Power always has to be kept in check; power exercised in secret, especially under the cloak of national security, is doubly dangerous."

-William Proxmire

Mod: That's why these are PRIVATE and not PUBLIC forums.
Now, just to abuse my power:
I grow tired of you. One more word from you and you get a nice little vacation.
Wanna try me? (<--- trick question)

I'll see you guy's in a few weeks.

I would like to point out I don't care that he deleted the post, but he did so without ANY explanation and then was an ass about it.

I like AT as much as the next person but its not my life, so you get a vacation? So what? I understand its the principle of the matter but I don't think you are going to win this battle.


The mod shouldn't be able to ask if you are retarded by any means, especially when vacations are given for jokes about violence towards women, gay jokes, etc. The list goes on...

Just my .02

arguing with mod is pointless. they have no obligation to be fair or reasonable.

Oh I know nothing will come of this. Really, I just want to have a bit of fun. :)

The weather report looks good for this week anyway.

I know you were just trying to prove a point, I was just pointing out that some people say "OMG!!! You are getting banned how will you survive?!

Sometimes I think this is all taken way too seriously. I was also just making the point that was stated a few posts up, its pointless to argue with a mod, they have the power and have no reason to be fair.
