Obviously you are a little confused. As far as I know, the Mods were made to enforce the AUP, and if they are making up some bullcrap Custom Unwritten Mod Read Only AUP then they are not doing their job by following the AUP.
@BigAdd,
I find it funny that you brought up rule number 3.17. Lets dissect this rule:
Quote: "3.17 Our forums are moderated by both TGC employees and trusted non-paid members of the public who volunteer their services and time for the benefit of the community. By using our forums you automatically agree that they cannot be held personally responsible for any actions arising from these forums. You agree that moderators shall, at their discretion, determine what constitutes a violation of these terms, along with generally accepted netiquette standards, and can take action against those who voilate these rules."
First Sentence basically says you are unpaid. Second sentence says that they are not responsible for anything. Now, the 3rd sentence. Lets read this:
Quote: "You agree that moderators shall, at their discretion, determine what constitutes a violation of these terms, along with generally accepted netiquette standards, and can take action against those who voilate these rules."
Ok, so whats that says is that Moderators can determine what they think breaks the rules of the AUP. Now by being above 13 at the time of the post breaking the rules? I would surely say not. Now for the accepted Netiquette standards... As far as history with forums and the net, this is about the only forum that has an age limit for doing some stuff, so we can't really say its a standard by any means can we. I signed up for Yahoo Mail at about the Age of 10.
Oh and btw, I think its pretty bad that as a Mod you go around breaking rules.
"Since when is it my rule?
The only problem here is that you have a problem with me since our little incident a few months ago.
And the very fact you sent an email to TGC just goes to show that you want some way to "get me back" for catching you out.
I don't see why you have to get so upset about a little request? Nobody was slapped or banned.
Oh well. "
Thats a 3.12 Break
I would consider that trolling. Sean was just saying that he has the right to only follow the official rules, which quite frankly he does because it says no where in the AUP that you can make your own rules, but back to the rule break. He was just saying that, and then you bring up some incident of the past, and put him down for it. So, even better you broke rule 3.11 and rule 3.12.
How great of you.
