It's difficult to comprehend there are people out there who can't appreciate the magnitude between a "right" and a "privilege" - Indra touches upon the fact that participation at interference is in actuality a privilige...graciously granted by Elvis.
Furthermore, people need to understand that in a community, any community, a gathering of people with different ideals and cultural mores, balance and homeostasis must be strived for, or else the general community must suffer. The very purpose of setting up interference.com is (I assume) to establish a thriving U2 flavored community, and quite obviously, any action/person responsible for negatively affecting the general balance of our community needs to be addressed.
It is not anybody's exclusive and god given right to exist or communicate here at intereference, and failure to understand these hallowed tenets will but naturally result in a warning/dismissal/suspension/outright ban (relative to the damage caused to the community balance)
these are extremely basic and elementary truisms that I have covered, it would do everybody well to gently recall them whenever posting/reading any said message. Learn to appreciate not only the overall benefit you obviously derive from this site, but also that it exists, and that it's very existance is a privilige that you have been granted.
The 'mods' here at interference, like all 'mods' in place in all aspects of society, do have a thankless job. Vastly different to 'mods' in the world outiside (cops, politicians, teachers et al), there is no finanical gain in this for them. Any 'power trip' you believe is in play, can easily be countered by avoiding this place. So logically where is the actual gain?
community.
we're all here naturally as an extention of our attraction to this community. it needs to be maintained, protected and harvested so that you, dear complainer, can continue to come here and feel comfortable enough to vent your frustrations. The poke in the eye, is that the more this community flourishes, the greater your comfort level in feeling secure in your position here at interference - obviously enough so that you feel comfortable in voicing out your example of an incident of injustice.
tch - the irony of it all.
