Gray area is more helpful. It's like defining a catch it's hard work but the onus is on the rule makers to do it. Asking for clarity is definitely not picking a fight. And if anyone is sincerely asking for clarity we are happy to answer it. There are a lot of people on this site on second and third accounts because they were banned before. We are all for multiple chances but when you see us get short with someone and it seems quick, that's probably why. I personally answer every email that comes in through the site and it is a lot. So we definitely take the customer service aspect seriously. I have said this several times before. No ads on the site (like we have right now) means that no money is coming in for hosting and software costs. I am not looking for anyone to donate, we have turned that down several times. I am just trying to fix the problem that got us banned for ad networks. (This is not at you Bit). I am just clarifying which we are asking what we are asking.

We can revisit it later. I know I am cranky about this right now but it is tiring. I need to get the site reinstated otherwise honestly there is no site. I had no problem turning down $100,000 plus from Scout. But I am not really comfortable paying $7,200 a year out of pocket. So we are just really asking for cooperation while we work things out. It doesn't seem like a very big ask. I know I am usually more tolerant of the joking. But there have been so many posts breaking our balls and calling out the moderators here I am honestly disappointed. Granted it is a few people blasting the mods but these guys do a thankless job. And the reason we are where we are is because they don't over-moderate. So people saying they are bad at their jobs is just not true.

Gray area is more helpful. It's like defining a catch it's hard work but the onus is on the rule makers to do it. The reason this thread is titled, "JetNation Site Rules," and not, "New JetNation Site Rules," is because these aren't new rules. These are the rules that have always been in place. What everyone here has been enjoying here for a while now is the Golden Age of JN Moderating, where the moderators haven't had to do anything at all to get that cool "Moderators"-thingy under our user names and to bask in that total coolness and all the extra respect we receive while contributing nothing here at all. Unfortunately, the getting blacklisted from ad networks problem has put the Golden Age of JN Moderating at serious risk. We can't have that or, at least, we'd really prefer not to. So now, instead of just ignoring all the rule breaking that's been going around here for quite some time now, we'd all really appreciate it if you could just start actually following the rules that were already in place so that we can continue to do nothing while while enjoying all the clear and obvious benefits of being a JN mod.

No religion talk is good too because prayers for the Jets have gone unanswered in my lifetime!! I don't think anyone said they could not post without cursing. There are words that are said on cable television that I wouldn't allow my children to say but I also wouldn't consider "cursing" for an adult. It's easier to follow rules when they're well defined. That's not me trying to pick a fight or whatever. I'm not even going to comment on this anymore as it's somehow ruffled feathers. I want the site to be successful and generate plenty of operating revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
