According to panda, he talked to phade and phade ignored him without hearing his story. Now i will agree that this is in fact a privatly owned site and phade can pretty much do what ever he wants. in fact with my own site, i can do what ever i want. same goes with my forum. it's small so there isn't a lot of trouble. But if one of my mods did what the mod did when panda got banned the first time, i sure as hell want to know and i would've done something about it. but i don't know if phade did anything. I really don't want to take sides, but from the info i have and the lack of info, spanda looks innocent to me.

Dude, it happened today.

News doesn't always travel that fast. Even bad news.

ok, on to a more serious note....

It's a shame that something that is suppose to be a hobby can turn people into such malevolent, sadistic assholes. Phade seems to be wrong on so many levels, but I do have to say that Spanda kinda did bring this upong himself. I do understand his situation, he wants ANSWERS. Answers that Phade cannot give him...why? Because it seems as if he has no legitimate reason to do what he has done.

I, for one, will not support this site by donating to the Golden Donut. It's no big deal, 1 guy out of the thousands of people that are here...big deal, but really. Think about it. It's really fucked up that a former devoted member of the org has ill feelings towards the org. That's not cool, this community is simply corrupted by this "hierarchy"
Those who deny this fact are simply fucking ignorant or just don't want to admit to it, because they're part of high ranking amv creators.

Um, not gonna be so bold as my cohort here, but I mus' say that goin' by jus' what I know, the whole banning of Panda thing sounds like a crock $hit to me. He proved what I've said before, it doesn' matter if you're causing trouble or not, it only matters if you manage to piss off the elite few. By that I don' specifially mean the moderators, I mean the big names around here. Some of said people are mods around here, not because they' fair, or 'cuz they would make good mods, but simply because there's no way in hell Phade would say no to them. Big downside of that is, piss them off, there's NO way Phade will ever listen to your side of the story.
Hey, maybe I'll get banned to cuz I dared to do something worse than spamming. I sometimes forget that having the audacity to insinuate that some people here are anything less than infalable superhumans is a crime around here.
T.F.B., thass the way it is even if no one else wants to point it out.

It all comes down to "Why do they need protection?" They wouldn't need protection if they were honest and open about their posts. It's much easier to mod a post to say "so and so eats dick! and likes it!" if you remain unnamed, rather than a tangible figure. The tangibility also forces accountability, as sad as that is.
Agreed, however being a mod sometimes involves having to do nasty actions like banning people. That doesn't make many friends when you do such things, even for just reasons. Seeing how so many people on this list do meet face to face at conventions there is a small degree of protection needed. It is not all that unlikely that an unruley person who truely deserves to get banned may be suited to attempt an attack on a moderator if given the opportunity.

Actually phade is the only one that can ban ppl and he's the only one thats visable. Have ppl got mad and flamed phade, sure probably. Yet I'm guessing its nothing compared to how ppl have been complaining about these faceless mods.

I mean really you can be invisable while being visable, they can have their own handles without giving their identity, I mean my real name is not Nappy @_@ I think their are nice mods among the group but it only takes one that changes text, and closes/deletes threads left and right for ppl to complain about them all. They should just get some handles so we can tell them apart, some numbers don't count as not many will remember and confuse them. Plus I see alot that just say MOD.

well the org makes everyone (with the exception of the mods) equal. With SpPanda, he did nothing wrong. He asked about neo geo roms. the mods locked his thread on sight with no explanation. He signed up to the forums before there were rules. And the mods didn't tell him what he did wrong. Then they started changing his thread titles to "I ate penis and it was great!" and "sex with mommy=WIN!" There is in this case, a good and evil. the mods beign the evil one.

Don't think of the golden donut as a 'site' thing. It is but I think of it as 'everybody's' thing. When I make some money I will donate but it will be for everyone's sake so they can get their videos hosted.

hmmm... deus ex machina... i just wish we could discern the mods, rather than just having good ol 467

I don' agree wit that at all.
Face it, if I said, oh, I dunno, YCSTR's videos sucked, no one would really care. (Not sayin' they do, jus' usin' it as an example.) Some people might get mad, but in the end no harm would befall anyone.
But, if I said Brad Demoss' or Kusayaro's vids sucked, chances are that when it was all said an' done the post would be deleted, the thread would be axed or locked, an' I might get banned. Why? Because like I said, causin trouble is fine, but piss off someone in the upper echelon, your ass is toast.

But Rudeboy, you have said those things - several times - in the past and haven't been banned, had posts deleted or locked. I'm guessing that having opinions about the quality of someone's videos isn't a bannable offense.

unless the mods don't like what you said because they made the vid. in which case you're gone,thanx to the mods this place is eliteist agian.
