That's some real douchebaggery though, at least coming from someone who has been here forever and who owes the mods a lot for their years of tolerance.
I went to RM one time and saw a thread dedicated to blasting Kat. Some folks were dropping the C word and the mods there were responding with LOL's and LMFAO posts. I spoke to one of the RM mods (I think his name is Hinny) through PM on this board and asked why they allow such vulgarity, especially considering that the 2 boards should share a common level of respect for one another. So the explanation I got was because Kat doesn't log on there, it was okay. Basically, he said if she was a user there, they wouldn't allow anyone to say such nasty things.
Now to me, that is reverse logic. I was always taught to not talk behind someone's back, that if you have something to say, then say it to their face. Anyway, ever since then I haven't been back to the RM board.
I understand we have some knuckleheads here. There are knuckleheads everywhere. But at least the Mods here try to create a respectful and mature environment, which is all anyone can ask.
The c word came from here as i remember. It was awhile back. There are one or 2 threads of this kind there that are basically dead. Most of the time is people that got pissed off here for whatever reason that go bitch about it there.
RM is wild but we are accustomed to each other and we don't take anything too seriously and the mods don't really allow things to get too far.
I understand why they allow more on RM - it's part of the appeal, especially considering that a lot of folks get banned here and go there to vent. It's one thing to say 10c sucks or the pit blows, but that kind of personal attack and the type of bashing I saw there was just totally inappropriate.

Are you sure, cause there was a guy on there with the screen name Viper271 and the exact same avatar as yours that got banned for acting like a prick to a number of the other members.

Mach, you have no credibility with me and everyone should investigate RM on their own. There are a lot of positive aspects to the site.
yeah... there most definately are!
Of course we did just finish a massive poll to determine the all-time worst PJ song. So there's also a lot of negativity too, but meh... that's what the internet is all about.... making people agree with your opinions. Right?
Hey, I ran that all time worst PJ song bracket and it was all in good fun!

Just to clarify, Hinn or Hinny was very nice when I spoke to him, but I just didn't dig the explanation and found the immaturity and culture on the RM board to be intolerable.
That's perfectly fine but that same thing you hate is the reason why people go there. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's right to just start bashing people who have no way of defending themselves. what i'm saying is there's a thing about RM where you can say almost whatever you want, in whatever language you want, and they kind of let the market take care of itself. People who are uninitiated to it are easily put off by it, but you have to know that 99% of the vulgarity you see over there is all in fun.
