To the OP, what's it seriously got to do with you? No offense, but the admin can do whatever he wishes. Just concentrate on your own forum, let others' look after their own.

People install it along with your reputation hacks simply because as a society we enjoy picking on people. Members enjoy negative repping or anyway of discrediting someone because it gives us a sense of power.
Now what the instal figure shows is that the hack is good in the sense that it brings members but not good in the sense (which the first posters mentioned) that it divides and creates tension.

Heh, when I read this, I'm kind of reminded of a certain user from The Admin Zone with the same kinds of ideas. But never the less, remember that the forum owner is the one who runs the forum, the one who makes the decisions and the one who's ultimately got to decide how to run their forum.

... ATTENTION everybody... Josh is thinking...

edit: from the start, this thread had the intend to make any frustrated member here having a voice for these frustrations.. the problem is that we're all administrators somewhere, and each time we hit a frustrated member, we act with authority and usually we strike where it hurts more, the user access...

the guys here are doing it softly.. warnings, infractions, even just comments sometimes when posts are not deleted/moderated... and each time, they are trying to act the more politely possible -- even in some situations when we do not even deserve it...

the way the administration deal with the situations is different from moderators to moderators... mine are usually severe and without any pity... because i manage mega big sites where it would be too dangerous to start being friendly and graceful. the guys here may not be the best, they do not deserve to be insulted in public though... no site have the best staff... i have some stupid moronish admins among my 48 sites... and some are on the edge of being kicked out their own sites because they rule instead of administrating... but the only person who can really act on them is me, the site owner... no member will ever push me to act on my staff... i'm even heavier on whinners on my sites... i do not negotiate, i do not warn... i'm mercyless.

I hate some of the mods. I was expressing my opinions in the community reviews forum and all of my posts got deleted. So much for free speech.
