I think that banning someone because you don't like them falls under this category.
If you ban someone because they do things that break the rules and you dislike them because of that, fine.
But if that person hasn't broken the rules or something of the sort and you dislike them for some other reason, then it would not be justified.
If you have some other reason for banning someone, use that - not the fact you don't like that person.
> You think people simply hate eachother without a reason???
I think there is certainly a reason, but it may not at all justify a ban or a moderation type action against that person.
I feel as if you either skimmed over my post quickly without understanding it, or completely missed the meaning of it
I do agree with almost all of the points you have made, except I'm trying to get across that that really isn't awful at all, in fact it is designed for trusting the mods, as I have heard it is fairly difficult to become a mod, it works fine
Aye, if it is a real bother that should not be a reason
Btw, quoting the dictionary really doesn't mean anything, those terms are extremely subjective
Ex. You would probably say the Nazis were abusing their power by killing off millions of Jews, while Hitler would say it was justifiable
Comparing my definition to the one you produced, there are many such cases as this, and none of them would define who was abusing power with your definition
While clearly the one I had stated, Hitler is obviously in the wrong
You might say, OMG YOU CAN'T FIGHT THE DICTIONARY!!!, but then again I could go through my whole life letting other people find definition for me
The poll is suggesting otherwise. 3:1. So now you're going to reply back that the majority of voters are idiots and know nothing about what they're talking about? It may well be possible, but what a coincidence that would be!
The thread would have been ridiculous only if the majority were in favour of moderators which would mean that the topic creator would have said something completely bullshit which is not the case here. I don't think it only applies to power abuses, but also to verbal ones as some may have suggested in this thread.
By the way, I'm not giving my thoughts on the subject here. It was only an analysis of the poll.
First off, too late you already gave your thoughts
Secondly, Nah, when a person refers to the uneducated masses they are actually speaking of a 1:1 ratio of morons to people who actually know what the hell they are talking about
Third, this topic IS complete bullshit if you honest to god can't take reading text that offends you, I believe you are a worthless sack of sh*t and don't deserve to live, others who are more sympathetic would say you should just go outside
For chrissake its a f*cking box that has little images on it, and in all honesty, it would give such people some practice in what its like to socialize with predatory people
EDIT
I don't feel like finding the persons post to quote it, but if you haven't realized this I am thoroughly interested in philosophy, not in the traditional sense of studying it, as I believe anybody who quotes some great philosophers is just trying to look smart
But more so in my own findings in social structures, and with people I have met
You probably don't want my opinion on this, but I am a bored jackass and will put it here anyway
Philosophies apply to all of the people in the group whom can be persuaded into it, the philosophies of the ones who have the power to change the ways (or to keep them the same) will be the philosophies of the group as a whole, until/unless there is some kind of interaction of building potential social energies (Ex. pissing off the peasants and not giving them their bread)
If you'd like, I could go at this for the next 2 weeks, but I'd prefer you make another thread about it (I'm too lazy to do that, and I might not even post in it)
[That adds another reason as to why I think this thread is dumb and pointless, as really there is not going to be a change, hence the ones who argue against the mods are wasting their time, and are really only arguing because they have been irritated previously and are bothered by it, or they have an ego and want to seem intelligent for self-satisfaction]
