The staff should stop insulting the membership
Just a suggestion.
I've noticed several insults from admins or mods toward the membership recently.
During the maintenance just now, the front page said something like: "To prepare for you idiots."
At the top of future hardware, there is currently a snide comment about where to post threads.
Someone needs to control himself. There are plenty of morons here. Being anonymous makes it easy. But don't go down to their level.
That sort of thing will just make the morons worse and the non-morons not want to come back.
Again, just a suggestion.

Well i just read it , and i take it for what it supposed to be : a joke.
Perhaps it was not the joke of the year, but nothing very important indeed.
Hopefully powerdoc is right and it was a joke, though.
It was obviously meant as a joke.
J :cool:

It takes more than a few letters to be mean to another person so I very much doubt that EmAn has been rude to anyone here.
The Future Hardware people are idiots, I think the truth just hurts.
One could hope that the most "out there" FH people would start insulting the mods. Too many flower in the garden. We need to thin out
Damn damn DAMN flood control
That's all fun and dandy for the mods to be assholes when they want to be and pawn it off as just "jokes."
But then you have mods sending private messages about "rereading the rules" of the forum, and how being insulting is not allowed and how "a warning" has been issued.
I've been at this board for quite some time, and I can say that the moderation at this board now, sure shows no intent on using a "modicum of good taste."
For those of you that missed it.

A little ironic, dontcha think?
See what this smiley is doing? <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" /> Do that and relax. Now is the time for Maclots to come together, it's keynote time.
It's got to suck being a mod and dealing with all the lameness, especially at this time with a keynote coming up. It's a joke.
I've had a bad week. I got pulled over by a cop Monday and bitten by a dog on my bike on Tuesday. Then to top it off, the admins at AI are crabby.
I mean really, how much can one guy take?
It's a joke. Poor taste perhaps, but I had just come from locking up a thread about the iCheese.
iCheese.
Do you not find that a bit idiotic?
The breakneck speed of posting was also idiotic. It's MacWorld for christ's sake.
Shanny, i'm sorry i hurt your feelings.
BRussell, i don't mean to be crabby. It was meant as a joke about the way that things get around here at MW time.
Note the title of the category that the 'MWNY' forum is in: another joke. I don't mean y'all are insane, i mean that the whole place is insane.
Accept my apologies, i didn't mean to offend anyone.

I'll have you know that I do not have, nor have I ever had, crabs, thankyouverymuch.
It's not like anyone's directly calling you an idiot anyways, and if you feel that way. Then maybe it's time to look in the mirror, and you just may see an idiot looking back at you.
If you need a skirt, my wife may have an extra

Nah.
I think we should be thanking the mods... they make me laugh
