Actually, I just wanted you guys to comment about the nature and kind of posts and topics that appear in bar. Being moderator is definitely not something I want to do. Besides, you have any idea how to go about being a moderator?Originally posted by parn:Hehehe...I'm just confused about the intentions of this topic. Shouldn't it be in ChitChat instead?
After reading the first post...I come to the conclusion that SumOne want to replace the moderator of Bar and is trying to gather a political support strong enough to achieve it. Hmm...what do you think is the motive of this topic?![]()

Hehehe...off-topic? So are you.Originally posted by SumOne:Not tongue-tied about anything, just not interested in discussing with you since you're more into flaming than into the topic itself. Your intention is provoke and to just piss me off, so why should I continue to let you do that? You may have voiced out your opnions about your topics, but you let your insults attract more attention instead. So don't act noble. If you feel that you are just voicing your opinion, than I am too. I was using your post from another thread as it seemed relavant to the topic, don't you think? So I'm sorry if you're feeling sensitive that I quoted you.
Anyway, you can continue waiting for the grand show, but it's not going to happen. I have nothing to prove to you. Now stop bugging me. Besides, you're off-topic.
Don't think that's his intention.Originally posted by parn:Hehehe...I'm just confused about the intentions of this topic. Shouldn't it be in ChitChat instead?

Not Adult enough....not hardcore enough from you...too mild for me.Originally posted by SumOne:Besides, the topic is about BAR, why post in chit chat?
I never said I want to be what. But it's just that I feel it's time for someone else to step in. Could lighten the burden of FireIce also.Originally posted by parn:Oei...make up your mind leh, you mentioned you definitely do not want to be a moderator but you ended your post by expressing an interest in being a moderator?
Want or not? Come on lah...don't be shy leh. You are losing your credibility liao.![]()
To be fair, I don't spend much time there so I don't know. Maybe more of speaker's corner or Dead Poet's Society. But wouldn't make sense to post there either. Anyway, to say I'm against BAR is a bit too much, if I really hated it I could always go elsewhere.Originally posted by parn:Not Adult enough....not hardcore enough from you...too mild for me.
Is there anything sexual/hardcore/adult material mentioned here?
So you are just against Bar? ChitChat forum got nothing that is out-of-point for you?![]()
That is so sweet and noble of you to do that. But I believe that unless FireIce herself post a topic to complain about her burden...you shouldn't worry too much about it. Afterall, it is none of your business.Originally posted by SumOne:I never said I want to be what. But it's just that I feel it's time for someone else to step in.

i tink she don need to share w other lahz.. she seems happy..Originally posted by SumOne:I never said I want to be what. But it's just that I feel it's time for someone else to step in. Could lighten the burden of FireIce also.
Originally posted by laurence82:Agree with you on your suggestions, and I do think the private messaging thing you talk about happens. I know Cortez was doing last time while he was here. He could still be doing it now for all we know just under a different nick. Still, like you said, I think the topics could made to be more constructive and objective.
Actually I thought Adult means sex [b]and violence, therefore pics Ah Ma put up should be in here too hehe...
What I feel is that sex topics should be allowed to discussed openly, or put up links to sex education websites or just get some opinions from experienced people, people who had done it or people who are trained educators on this subject etc etc
What the mods can do is to discourage, ie by deleting topics that people put up to solicit for sex or offline dating, links to porn sites, putting up porn pics and stuff like that.
In anyway, regarding solicitation for sex and people who were cheated by offline dating, it could already be rampant in sgforums. Who knows? Coz the PM function allow people to do that.This could be happening with or without encouraging people to post topics regarding sex.

can be placed in a better way..Originally posted by parn:That is so sweet and noble of you to do that. But I believe that unless FireIce herself post a topic to complain about her burden...you shouldn't worry too much about it. Afterall, it is none of your business.![]()
Hey, quit being personal here. You are obviously not interesed in a general topic discussion. And I think everyone here can see that, this topic nor this forum is about you and me you know.Originally posted by parn:That is so sweet and noble of you to do that.

Just stating the facts, FireIce is really none of your concern at all.Originally posted by SumOne:Hey, quit being personal here. You are obviously not interesed in a general topic discussion. And I think everyone here can see that, this topic nor this forum is about you and me you know.
Babyboy, he's just trying to piss me off. Maybe he's sore that I quoted him earlier in the thread.
Originally posted by SumOne:Hello all, not here to start a flaming war, but since there people here talking about it in so many posts, I thought why not just make it into a thread.No, thank you, please keep it to yourself.
A number of times people have commented how threads in bar seem to start off with a certain topic but degrades into a series of off topic babbling and flaming between forumites.Off-topic is a legacy here that goes way back for years. You want to break the culture? HAHAHAHAHA
![]()
Of course people have also commented how the moderator has contibuted to the lack of objectivity in all the discussions. I'm not trying to piss anybody here, but it's a fact that the activity in the BAR forum is controlled by the moderator.You got a problem with it you can choose not to post.
However, personally, I find that the moderator herself tends to hit out at people who start topics related to sex by making sarcastic remarks and I know I'm not the only who who thinks so. Her very actions encourage others to flame those who start sex-related topics. Resulting in lots of posts that are not related to the original thread topic.You having a problem with that? Create your own FORUM within sgforums and she can't do anything but read and post. You can even modify her post if you want whenever she post in YOUR forum.
It is true that some people post really lame topics, but there are times when peole are genuinely trying to find out information or are really seeking for opinion and guidance. For example the masturbation thread by tube_girl. Started out as a girl asking about things I think lots of girls ask about and write to women's magazines about. As far as I know, it's a genuine topic if you ask me. Tube_girl may be a guy pretending to be a girl but we don't know that for sure do we?You got a problem reserve it for yourself.
If you ask me people like Cortez deserved all the hate from other forumites for the kind of threads he used to start, but not every person who starts a sex-related thread is a pervert or an idiot waiting to be flamed. Some people just want to chat and to talk, simple as that. Flaming wars are not on that agenda.You don't like it you can don't read it. There's no fine rule that says nobody should be off-topic or flame someone.
BAR is a forum rated Adult, so why shouldn't sex-related topics be here? If it's going to be nothing but chatting where no sex-related topic is allowed, then the Adult rating for BAR may as well be removed. It's not that I'm against FireIce or anything, but I honestly feel that maybe should let someone else take over as moderator. Just an opinion of mine, you all may disagree, but it's not my intention to start a flame war with the moderator.Why should we let anyone else other than Jason to decide whether it's worth it or not. You can create your own adult-theme forum within sgforums and not let her ruin your pleasure of reading such material. Of course, Jason still determines the right as the owner of the forum to decide the eventual outcome of your membership should you cross the line too often.
Anyway, here's the thread for you all to discuss about what you all like or not like about BAR forum. I'm aware that the moderators may shut me down but what the heck, they are the moderators. I started this thread not to flame anyone, but was just thinking since people have talked about it, why not just start a thread on it?If you're unhappy, GO CREATE YOUR OWN. STOP GRUMBLING LIKE A TAXI DRIVER.
So is grumbling illegal here?Originally posted by Nelstar:
