    So considering that we are all the primary users and surfers here, our collective opinion should matter some to Micah and the Creators. In the spirit of democracy, and since its almost election day I propose a vote to replace Austin with a moderator who surfs!

    I voted "I don't care".
    For those of you whining about not being able to post porn, or not saying "go kill yourself"....I think you guys are are a bunch of pussies. Who cares if you have to follow rules. There are NO internet sites that do not have a set of rules. You wanna "sacrifice yourself"....go ahead; I guarantee that pass a few days, only a very few will even remember who you are. Please note, those whining about your "sacrifice" are not doing the same. All mouth, no action. Pussies. Bottom line--you are no heroes, but you are indeed suckers if you like to post here.
    Sayonara boys.
    Have a good weekend.

    I voted I don't care, because I really DON'T care. I just want everybody to stop their f'ing b*tching and complaining all the f'ing time. For f*ck sakes, most of you are grown ass men! F*ck! It's the internet people, let it go! Move on! This isn't life or death.

    I love you guys, but also gotta vote for "I don't care". Think about it, when have you ever been able to post porn on here? The only thing he did was start to crack down on some azzhole behaviors. You gotta admit, we are azzholes sometimes. It has been sad lately seeing some of the heavy hitters commit Hari Kari!! I'm not sure if people are just going crazy because of the F'd up political bullsh!t going on every where or what, but the moods in here have been crazy!

    I remember the first time I saw Unc2B say, go kill yourself. I thought, holy crap, that's a little harsh, well, I guess not as harsh as the HOTY awards. HA HA HA Good times!! But anyway, that was Unc2B's saying, its what made him, him. So I don't agree with not being able to say that, or not giving some of the newbie's a hazing. But in all fairness, we do get a sheet ton of troll's. And people who get a little butt hurt who start trolling. Take your shirt and get over it!! Anyway, come on feller's this sheet will pass, Austinne is really not that bad, he is just doing his job. It's like when people speed, get pulled over and then blame the cop. YOU broke the law, YOU were speeding, the cop was just doing his job. Now go surf or something!

    Agreed that Austin is just doing his job , but since it's his job he should do it and not try and get all up in our clubhouse. He should have kept it all business. Agree too about the porn thing. Don't care if we can't post that but it's the "tough guy" attitude Austina seems to try and display when we complain that comes off as tired and weak.

    Austin you may be the new sheriff and this may be your site but if all your members who provide good "content" leave/are banned where will that leave SI? No clicks = No SI = No job here for Austin. Maybe the g@y puppy lovers website needs an admin?

    Check the web stats - SI averaged @ 500k visitors back in the spring but is now up about 40% to 700k.

    The theory here is that the people who own the site are going to get mad about 20 guys bailing due to issues with a mod while traffic is up? That seems...unlikely.

    Yeah, but the cop is riding around with you, shooting the sh1t, talking about his family and then busting you for a 30 day sentence when you speed. And then talking sh1t about how you fvcked up and he busted you while he still rides around with your buddies. F-that.

    Sit quietly in your patrol car and enforce, other than that, the less we know about him the better.

    Sorry, I forgot to talk about that. I mean it was cool he came on and introduced himself, but yeah, I agree, at that point sit back and let us do our thing.

    Austine is the Danny Tanner of mods. Cool because he'll let you drink soda on a weekday, but wont let you touch your prom date because it's 'a bit much'. Lame

    Austinne did get rid of Wayne's trolling here. That's been a big plus.

    Good pointe B. And I gotta kinda agree with Barry on this as much as it pains me to do so. It's their ball, their game and their rules. Take it or leave it.

    Now if Austin would only do something aboot Barry we'd be in real good shape ;)
