You became a Mocker & no one saw you for over a year. If you genuinely cared about the direction of Mock, I would see you actively participating, I'd see you taking a role in keeping the standards high but, you don't, you pop in & make the occasional post that expresses your displeasure. You have a platform to say what you want, when you want, use it.

:nono: As usual you see what you want, what I see is that you and the Mods have all the say over who gets in and how.
The wall is obvious, read what you just posted and see if what I say has been listened to? you said it yourself.
I know you're a bit slow so let me help you with the hard part.

I didsn't talk till I was three and the first thing I said was "Somebody didn't make me right". My mom took it as an admission but it was really intended as an accusation. My life has been like that ever since.
I hate to repeat myself and usually attempt to make sentences no one has ever used before.
Needless to ay my life is unusual.
I'm posting here primarily because I can view any other forums and figure this might be your way of making people introduce themselves. Don't expect to get much fucking more out of me.
This guy sounds odd. I'm concerned that he might taint the image of this site with his oddness.

Well at least we can slam the soup chickens when and if we feel the need. At least we have the freedom to kick soup chicken ass, you big dumb dick.
I understand your frustration. I'm simply trying to get you to help in keeping Mock from becoming what many of us despise the most in a forum. You can either bitch about it or help in making sure that we don't become what we loathe in a forum. Post provocative threads, make controversial posts, engage others in lively debate. Lend a fuckin' hand in helping me for christssake.

Yeah.
That's always been my problem; people walking all over me and using me for their own purposes.

we want new members, so invite some people! i'm not going to invite them and then treat them badly.
Just because you want to give these invited guests a pass, is no reason to undermine the newbie process These people need to be tested to see if they can deal with it first, you know that or at least you used to know that.
If this is the same Cladking I know then its all good, but one thing is for sure, you're the Mod here but it's our forum!

when we re-opened MOCK, we said clearly it would have some differences. one of those being we weren't going to be vicious to prospective members, or at least i won't. unless it's someone i loathe and despise. you knew that. you can be vicious if you like. nobody is stopping you.
(yes, the same Cladking).
again...the goal is to gain some new members. and where have i ever implied it wasn't the members' forum? you are free to say anything to anybody you wish. including in their intro thread. if i personally invite (and let in) someone that i think will be a valuable forum member, it is to everyone's benefit.
the premise will be a private area to trash people as per Mock tradition.
but we will have "normal" forum areas where no trashing or abuse will be integrated into threads.
mainly what we will strive for is everyone enjoying Mock, and no heavy-handed SS moderation.
I must have gotten a different email.

I know this isn't directed at me but, I'd like to address it nonetheless.
I thought it would be a bad idea to have a private forum simply for trash talkin'. I felt it strayed too far from Mock's premise, I want people to say what they want, when they want & where they want. No restrictions in that aspect. I don't want rules that censor opinions any place in Mock.
I'm not going to make people jump through hoops to get in here. The atmosphere is such that if stupid people make their way in they will be made to feel so inferior by the other members that they usually tuck tail and run. A newbie getting in that doesn't measure up to the high standards of others, myself included, is the least of my worries when it come to Mock.
