Fortisimo Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Lol, greeaaatttt..... word to the wise- all new mods (and old for that matter), don't be fascists please. Quote
Clarinot Posted July 27, 2006 Author Posted July 27, 2006 Fascism? Well, close but no cigar. Let us discuss Fascism in its parts: As broken down through Dictionary.com 1) Dictator - Well me and Dynasty are both admins so that more like an oligarchy. 2) Strong Economic Controls - Well... Users have to donate so that power is in your hands (democracy) 3) Supression through Terror - We don't have the money to hire death squads. See Donations for more information. 4) Censorship - Well, I admit, we're caught red handed. There is a bad word filter. Dang... We're Facist 5) Beligerent Nationalism - Band: It's just better in Texas! 6) Racism - Well we do have a handful of non-band members on this site so we'll save the signs and propaganda for another day. But, thanks for the advice. Quote
Fortisimo Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Well then, strictly speaking, you pretty much just need to maintain then, huh? But on the other hand, you seem to have missed the point entirely. Still having trouble? Well, you see, it's sort of a figure of speech- you know, not meant to be taken literally. That is to say, the word fascism was used not to indicate that all points of definition from a certain online dictionary are fulfilled, but rather to arouse the ideas and feelings that facsism is associated with. For the layman, I meant don't do dumb stuff like lock threads or delete them entirely just because a debate/arguement has developed there. Just as an example, though- in case you thought you might be clever again and play around with deriving literal, yet unsound meaning from my post. Edit by Xenon: Muahahahaha Quote
Clarinot Posted July 27, 2006 Author Posted July 27, 2006 Oh Fortisimo, You read too deeply into my efforts to be funny and encourage members to donate. Hey, whats a little TxBands humor in the middle of the night? Please respect our mods. They received (or will receive, if new, because we have yet to email it) a full page of instructions on how to moderate, and what to moderate. All of their instructions come from me and Dynasty. I promise you, they will close threads, move threads, warn users, delete posts, and even edit content. Thanks for your understanding. Quote
BlinK Day 41 Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Ah hey guys, just got back from a trip since sunday, congrats to the new team! Quote

BlinK Day 41 Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 When and How will we find out how to run our respective areas? Quote

Lol, sorry, I would've responded sooner, but I've been out of town for a few days. I actually wasn't trying to be nearly so caustic as I now realize the message comes across. I suppose I took the mock-seriousness a bit too far- indeed, there is little to no indication I was joking. Sorry bout that, and of course, they shall be respected... unless they are real cocks, in which case I would imagine you guys have enough sense to handle them. But hey, conratgulations to all who got.... errr picked for the jobs, if I havne't already said so. Quote
Trumpet Master Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 Don't worry I think we will keep this place enjoyable for everyone. People should feel welcome not oppressed. Quote
trumpetman1288 Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 No oppression, eh? Can we get free stuff too? It will make the site more enjoyable Kind of ironic about the oppression thing now that I think about it. Look at my icon...poor animal. Quote
BlinK Day 41 Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Well ne wayz i'm gonna be gone till saturday, so whether or not we have to start doing stuff i won't be here to update predictions nor anything have fun tho Quote
Aegis Fang Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 I love how I'm always behind... I would've applied had I known about this... ah well, life sucks then you die =p Quote
