Honoring the Limits

TheLittleStrawberry · 10-15-2007, 04:55 AM

Yea so this is a problem I've noticed happening a lot. People ask for dares, specify some limits, and then they get a bunch of dares dishonoring those limits. I know that it's a matter that can just be ignored, but it's also annoying as hell.
It's specially a problem in the "Dare the Person Above" threads, where you're meant to give a dare to the people above you, but then some people totally ignore the limits and give... a public dare to someone who doesn't wanna do public. That is kind of unfair to the person as that means he/she actually didn't get any dare at all, as he/she cant do the dare.

My opinion is that dishonoring the limits should be against the rules, and even enough to warrant a warning if one person keeps doing it, despite being told not to.

I'm not sure anyone else agrees with me, or even sees what the problem is, but please give me feedback on this idea, no matter what you're opinion is.

it is true that the limits are not been respected... i see it all the time on this site... but enforceing it would double or tripple the ammount of work the mods will have to do.

If the board demands more mods... then "hire" more mods... Or maybe each mod could be assigned a specific task.. Like some would have to get rid of "send picz plz" posts, and some would keep an eye on flames wars and such, and some would keep and eyes on limits?

I know that this would only give more work to the mods, and I really don't know how many there are, but alot of mods have disappeared lately, so i suggest adding more mods to this site.

Edit to add:
Or also do what most sites do, assign one mod for each board...

that is true but finding people they could trust to be a mod, that is the thing.
you promote the wrong person who cant be impartial and say favors you and doesent like naughty_cloe, so you start posting what ever you want without fear of being deleated while cloe's post gets deleted every time she makes one.

then the site could get messed up by the fact that someone could just trashcan the entire site in a day..

So what you're saying is we shouldn't get new mods out of fear they'd be abuse their powers?
Being a mod doesn't give you privileges... If a mod is unfair he/she should be demoted... And I don't think Depp would hesitate doing that if that person was abusing his/her powers.

well i am saying that mods would have to be trusted by the admins, have a small relationship(friendship) with them.

yes i know that if depp sees some one abuseing their power that he would take proper actions
but then it only would take 1-2 hours to delete all the information from the site
