Not that you're allowed to argue mod decisions anyway.
Which is stupid. Mods are as fallible as anyone else.

Yeah, well, read the rules.

Moderators
Moderators are a group of volunteers who help maintain order on the forums. They help enforce the rules and make sure the forums are a fun place to be. Please remember that moderators are humans and not robots and if they make a decision that you disagree with you cannot argue with them in public. Instead contact them privately to resolve the matter, or contact the Administrator.

And nowhere does it say that you cannot argue mod decisions, only that to do so, do so in private. 🙂

Yeah, too bad most people do all of their complaining in the actual threads. Which is bad and stupid of them.

I would like to ask why you should not be able to argue your decisions in public?

Yea, your right, I only put just kidding becuase if i had said it seriously then one of the mods would deny it being the reason, and then give everyone another reason about why they dont want to argue in public. The only other reason that i think why they would do that is too not bother the thread by an off topic subject, but hay, if some kind young fellow wants to argue against the mods, let them be my guest.

Because it undermines authority, pretty much. Someone starts arguing mod decisions in public, others see and decide they're gonna argue too, it gets worse and worse, and then everyone ends up banned.

Well a good moderator and admin should learn to be humble and understand that they're not above anyone due to title. That aside, some one could have more intelligence and so forth.

We're all just people. Open to flaws and errors. But being combative for the sake of being argumentative is just asinine. There are polite ways to correct a mod or admin. And don't act like "OMGOSH you messed up FAIL" because they're normal people like I said.

side note: why are Anime characters being brought up in this, I thought it was restricted to game characters. Because if we did do anyone who has been in a game Dr. Manhattan beats EVERYONE.

Only if they are arguing while breaking a rule, if the person arguing a mod decision is being civil, why should it not be allowed? Now if someone is being a jackass, then tell them to knock that particular behavior out but do not discredit their argument simply because they are being rude, that IS a logical fallacy.

Take a note people: Never believe anyone who gives you a vid from youtube. They tell you what it's about but they're actually lying. What I saw was....awkward.

Because they fear a civil war...hmm that gives me an idea.

Many people consider rape to be morally wrong, but has that ever stopped us?

It's true. Morality has never been a factor in our rampant exploitation of the natural physical inferiority all women have. In fact, I get off on performing such heinous acts, then going to Church.

However... I'm getting old, man. I'm getting old. 🙁
