This is my first thread and I hope that it serves as a wake up call to stop the unequal treatment of members here.
It seems that several members here ,none of the new members, get to say and do as they please. Their conduct even if in violation of the rules goes unnoticed. Some of them start threads that are totally useless and the MODs dont even close it. Some others offend a member and when the member retaliates, the retaliator ends up with a warning. It is a version of the "old boys club".
I know am not alone in how I feel about this. I want to be part of a community were we are all treated equally. A community where everyone is held accontable for his or her action. A community free of all the BS that goes on here.

 

@EL75

It is a great honor to be the first one to congratulate you on your first post. I commend you for coming out and letting us all know how you feel about being a member of the community. Girl Power. lol

 

Thanks Tony. You have been a blessing, my mentor since I joined this site. I just felt like I needed to say it. I hope that this thread is taken in a constructive way.

 

oooh another Floridian... it's about time..

notice: this message has been approved non-sexist.. non homophobic...and inoffensive to snowflakes of every stripe
and blatant troll approved as well...

p.s. mods may overrule... and delete (censor) this innocuous post for being..umm.. whatever they deem it to be

 

@Herr Durr are you the self appointed clown of AZ? I am very pleased to meet such an inobnoxious member as yourself.

 

A holy man comes to town and the ignorant residents kneel in honor and immediately regret their shameful actions in the past.

The holy man exclaims:

"I am coming here today to save all of you who have lived a life in sin. I hereby declare war against all evil so that the good order can be restored - let us all pray ............................... . Amen!".

 

Amen. Amen. I knew I had seen you somewhere. Just couldnt recognize you because you were kneeling.

 

MODS PLEASE, CENSOR HIM AND THROW HIM IN THE WELL,
THANKS

 

Old boyz all have been newbies at some point....Apparently they survived.
It's a great forum, hang on a bit and you'll be alright.
The vast majority of the activity of the site lately has been evolving around newbies anyway, I don't really see how the veterans or the mods could be responsible for anything that went your way. If you feel you were treated unfairly, write to the mods they'll explain their decisions.

Anyway. Going back to the beach.
Welcome amongs the crazies, it's a fun ride.

 

Please don't take a dig at him. I don't appreciate that zinger. If you're a child prodigy having PhD at the rude scorcher, he's a hired gun and creative intelligentsia at everything. He's the doyen on AS and my role model.

 

The ideal that everyone should be treated equally is a fine ideal that I fundamentally support. The problem is that if you want to practice this ideal you really need to treat everyone very differently.

A few examples:
People act very differently. Some people use sarcasm others use shabby and abusive language while others write in metaphors etc etc.
Some people appreciate some kind of threads while others hate them. Reality is often a mess and our actions are often based on our own ideas about how we want the world to look.

The rule you seek is more like an attempt to set justice as a mathematical equation that does not exist. The reality is simply too diverse for such kind of simplifications.

Some of the people I think are the biggest fools here could easily be the ones I would call my friends in real life. And those I always agree with here could easily be the biggest fools in real life - this is a sad but real condition for all of us like it or not.

By the way, welcome here. Hope you find some justice here over time.

Hello EL75,

I've not personally ran into the type of behaviour which you bring up, Although I am not attempting to say that what you are saying is not true. If I do, Then I'll call it out for what it is.
I really like this community as it isn't like other's which I have been a member of for well over a decade, They have gone to shit with mostly nasty pieces of work around that have effectively driven away the honest, decent/genuine members. The usual suspect bigger forums is where I'm talking about. I was really pleased to find AudioSX and the members whom have pretty much all been great and have treated me with the respect with which I have treated them, Lots of good threads discussing many various topics.
Do hope that you find that sort of thing to be your usual experience here.

Pleasure to meet you, All the very best your way and to all as always

Dean

 

When @SAiNT gives you a dislike you know you need to roll back into the egg you hatched from.

 

Hi Von_Steyr

Back again I see

Do you speak from personal experience?

 

Sorry you feel that way EL, its not been my experience here.

 

Thats a bit harsh. Most of the time i feel like this about audiosex ...

 

No treatments here mate... not equal, not unequal.

 

Saint has found such an obedient vassal in you, Steyr. Not to say a bootlicker. He must be so happy about it. No wonder you've survived this long despite of your record of breaking the forum rules so many times. Anyone remember Steyr - cyberbully, a hateful xenophobe? Well, I do. Saint must be really in love with you, boy, if he consistently ignored and pardoned all the hateful xenophobic threads you've made and all the bullying that you did.

You're not to teach anyone how to behave themselves on a forum. You are hardly a role model in this regard.

This also means you're right, EL75. It's an "old boys club" Audiosex, where people are not treated equally for the same actions they make. Actions of some get noticed and attended and some are just ignored and pardoned. I think I've said it too many times to remember.

But frankly, isn't it the same as in real life, if you think of it? What is forum? Forum is a company of people, a society of sorts. And what you get in every society? Hierarchy, closed elitist groups, corruption, nepotism, hypocrisy, double standards, injustice, bullying. It's life as it is. And Internet forums are no different. It's just a different format, a digital medium, but they also have their own politics and undercurrents going on.

On the grand scheme of things, if you think of it, it doesn't matter if you enter a web forum or go out in the street, all in all, you are unlikely to escape the human condition.

Fucking people, eh? Can't live with them, can't live without them. It's like a fucking bad joke sometimes.

 

I was a caterpillar who needed time to develop into a butterfly and from the leftovers of the cocoon i made a napkin which you can freely use.
Bless you my child.

 

some people just love to be the "big" man online, probably because they don't have anything important in their lives to profile themselves . the golden rule is simple, : never take anything personal online as they do not know you , even if they pretend they do
