Just like Rampant

Yeah....but he IS an asshole, too.

Would you resort to such language or insults in a formal debate let's say in front of a crowd at a reputable university?

That depends: would my opponent be responding with trite, one sentence responses filled with demonstrably false information represented as true, and quote mines represented as perfectly fine?

You don't get to expect the respectful tone of a formal debate while refusing to shoulder the responsibilities or expectations of respectful content that such a debate brings with it, Rev.

And as I've said, I am happy to debate you in a formal setting, if that's what you wish this to progress as.

Please respond to this, Rev. It seems to be everything you're asking for. Less responses, more formal setting...

Anyone with a green username is a moderator, and anyone with a red name is an administrator, which is like a super-moderator.

How do I become a moderator?

Oh. My. Flying. Spaghetti. Monster. :o

You hid it so well, for so long, and now...it finally makes sense. You're ThunderCunt in disguise aren't you?

Why does everyone want to become a mod?

For the brownies.

You guys have brownies and you're not sharing?? :o

I would like to suggest that members are encouraged to respect one another, refrain from using foul language, and insults. If this happens repeatingly that the member be warned.

Members are warned about these things. Maybe not to your standards, but they are.

We have had times where rules are more strictly applied than others, like when new members were lost due to negative greetings... it became a rule to be polite in intro threads.

I was discussing this today with some friends who hate swearing. When you don't swear, you really notice when other people do it. Exposure to swearing lowers your sensitivity to it.

It's a pretty low blow to insult someone just because you know that will upset them. That really shows what kind of degenerate that person is, and theists are equally guilty.

We had tacky that was a good mod. The problem is that the christian pool in here isn't made of the sharpest tools in the shed. No offense fr0ds.

There are several ways.

1. Become an good poster and earn the respect of the membership.
2. Wait until a position becomes available and apply for it, assuming you've achieved 1., above.
3. Blackmail
4. Bribery

The latter two are difficult as their price is high (I've tried) and it's hard to get incriminating/embarrasing pictures of the staff.

I will be there now that a certain person isn't around any longer.

If sharpness was a qualifier you wouldn't be a mod. No offence

Slow to anger is good for a mod, together with an inoffensive disposition. If you're more likely to start fires than put them out, moderating isn't for you.
