    After recent events, I have to say that LPA has to be one of the worst ran websites in the history of the internet. I couldn't tell you how many times an admin has asked me for the LPUnderground tracks, or how many times an admin has told a teenie to go to hell. It really bothers the crap out of me that people get banned for that kind of stuff but the admins get away with it. Now, I'm not going to mention any names, but I do think some of the admins of this site are running it right. I have been visiting LPA for over a year, so I know what goes on in these forums. As for the banishing of Casey, I'm on the latter. Sure, Casey should of never said that he wanted to kill Branden, but when Branden himself says that he didn't take it seriously and that he and Casey talk a lot on MSN, then Casey should of never been banned. Perhaps, Casey should have been put on probation or a temporary ban. ;) All in all, I respect all of the hard work the admins put into this site, but some things have got to change.

    That is basically the end of my rant. I would of post this in the Random Thoughts but obviously I can't.

    If I get banned for this, it will just show you exactly how this place is ran.

    Well, you haven't broken anything, so I think you're safe, but don't quote me on this. Secondly, did they ask you on the forums through PM or was it on AIM, MSN, etc.?

    *watches this topic get locked aswell*

    I disagree with Casey's ban, I'd agree for 1 month temp suspension, but not a permanent ban.

    I find the site gets run really well, it's one of the best ran sites i've ever seen [other than Neowin.net and the IPS forums I go to.]. There's no teenies here [unlike the other countless LP forums] and everyone actually knows how write properly [insted o lik dis].

    If anyone warns or bans Paul, that would be very wrongfully done, he was just giving feedback [btw, this need to be moved to the Feedback forum].

    VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

    On a side note. These forums are run perfectly. Comparing it to other forums, this is by far the best. Sure, I think Casey should have been warned instead of banned though. Branden wasn't offended so you shouldn't ban him. There's my two cents. Don't like it, THAN TO FUCKING BAD!

    Corrupt or not, I (and many others like me) don't seem to have a problem following the rules. As far as I can tell, they go a little something like this:

    Don't be an asshole
    Don't be a teenie
    Respect proper forum etiquette (i.e. no double posting)
    Type legibly

    And if you do that, you'll be fine.

    Oh, and regarding the 'I'm Hardcore" in the topic description, shove it. Anyone who actively claims to be hardcore, punk, etc, is just trying too hard. It's like being funny, you know? You try too hard, you're bound to fail.

    /end my two cents.

    Just so you know, I don't know you personally, and it is very difficult to detect sarcasm in plain text. So, again, shove it. ;)

    Look, I love the LPA. I've been coming here for ages, and it's probably the forum I visit the most.

    But I agree with a lot of what Paul said. I do think the warnings go overboard. Kate said that she never had a problem following the rules either, and I guess I haven't as well--no warnings here, last time I checked. But this the the only forum I visit where I really feel like I need to watch my step.

    Even if you didn't know someone, it's pretty obvious when someone is being sarcastic. ;)

    Oh, and *shoves 'it' back*

    So because we banned a member that was a admitted racist, who called LinkinJunior a spic repeatedly off the forums, and strived to make everyone angry (even the religious right), we're a poorly run website? Casey made attacks against members he felt to be less intelligent, which even happened to be me in certain circumstances.

    Sure Casey contributed to these forums, and I won't trash him and say he didn't, but the fact of the matter is we gave him more chances then we gave Vampire/Jawknee and therefore, we should not be getting punished for finally giving him the third warning he should've received MONTHS ago.

    I am so sick of us getting massacred by certain members of the forums, everytime we manage to do our jobs. If we didn't ban people and warn them as such, this place would be a zoo, infested by teenies and people with no regard to the rules. By putting down the iron hammer at times, we are doing the forums a service and keeping them from becoming the hellhole that the LPMB has managed to be.

    No you aren't going to get banned for your beliefs but I can tell you right now you don't have the right idea about how we operate this site. We arent going to allow teenieboppers on this site, because its DISGUSTING and inappropriate to have childish, sexual fantasies about people old enough to be your father. If you dont believe we should ban teenies on sight then okay, maybe we shouldn't. I want to know how much you'll love this forum after every other thread becomes a "OKAY WHOZ THE HAWTEST LP MEMBER?!" thread. Because that's exactly what happened over at the LPMB. Oh and btw, they ALLOW flaming in The Barracks. Yup, a moderator has to evaluate the flames' severity, and if it isnt 'that bad' they take no action.

    So before you accuse us of being the 'worst run fansite on the internet' spend a few weeks at the LPMB and see the unmanaged hell that goes on over there.

    I guarantee you that your opinion of us will change, REAL QUICK.

    Answer this Derek : What is your view on admins asking for LPUnderground MP3s? Considering that is probably LPA's most strick rules.

    I really don't want to expose the admin who asked me, because it is still in my PM Inbox.

    Also, you completly avoided everything that was said in my rant minus the Casey thing. I never mentioned anything about this forum being infested with teenies. ;)
