" I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight for your right to say it"
And on this site, she does not have the right to say it, ....
here's another saying: Them's that pays the bills, makes the rules.....
Hahahahahahahaha....well said!
My Dad used to own a retail store a kabillion years ago (60's - 70's)....he had a rule: "No employees are allowed to smoke on the sales floor (of course, back in the day when smoking in a place of business...including a retail store, just wasn't considered innapropriate)...Dad was on the floor talking to a customer about whatever it was they wanted to buy, Dad's having a smoke...I had a Pepsi and he said "give me that can son". Of course I did, and later I asked him "Dad...you said 'no one can smoke on the sales floor'....you were smoking!!!".....he said "son, I believe in the Golden Rule and that's why I can smoke on the sales floor".
Being a fairly intelligent kid, I knew the golden rule, and it sure didn't have anything to do with smoking....so I said "Dad, what's the golden rule have to do with smoking????!!!!" To which he replied...."See everything all around you?" "Yes" I said...."It's all mine...I make the gold here...and I make the rules, now go get your Dad another Pepsi".
Made sense to me.
Whos paying the bills here? According to these very wise rules the Moderators are paying the bills? Are they? If not who has the rule of law? the site owners or the advertizers?
The site owners (who pay the bills that the advertising that the site owners arrange does or does not adequately cover, and are responsible for keeping the site running) are the ones who make the rules and the site owners decide who the Moderators are that the site owners choose to trust to enforce the forum guidelines and site TOS that the site owners wrote.....Did that answer your question? No matter what the answer to your question of "who pays the bills here" is, it's pretty safe to say it's not you.
edited to add: None of the above was said in anger, nor because I care who owns the site or what they do. My point was they can do whatever they want in appointing administration to run their site. What is the difference between that any any owner of a brick and mortar building actually hiring(whether paid or volunteer) who they want? If a patron comes into a restaurant and says they dont like the waitstaff because they feel they got shitty service or someone was rude to them, should the owners HAVE to fire their staff immediately, or do they actually have a choice as the owners to react how they wish. The patrons of course have a choice also. They can walk out of the establishment, indignant or not, and never spend another dollar there........oh wait, in this case, never spend another moment there (because there are no dollars exchanged here). Those same choices would still apply even if the owners offered discounted or FREE services because of signage they had on the walls inside/outside or billboards in the parking lot that paid fees to the owners to advertise there. It would still be the owners original choice to make, and in the case of moderators and forum guidelines here, they have been made. You, like the restaurant patron, have the choice to make on whether you continue to use their services or not. They apparently have made their choice, what will yours be?
