congrats to Woodruff for this wonderful post explaining the problems with CC moderation and the perceptions of CC moderation by the general public within the forums:

Unfortunately, this is the worst ruling possible. Not from the sense of it being an inaccurate ruling, but rather from the sense of non-prejudiciality. What I'm referring to here is that the moderators SHOULD be making every effort to ensure that they are not seen as "above the law" or treated differently by other moderators due to their position. Not that I don't say that they should be making every effort to ensure that they AREN'T above the law...rather I am speaking of perceptions here.
Unfortunately, this ruling does the opposite.
King achilles has made a perfectly reasonable recognition here that these are two different situations (between Calidmr's and owenshooter's avatars). As reasonable as that distinction is, this ruling still gives the startling impression that there are two different "classes" involved here...the haves and the have nots, if you will...the TeamCC and the not-TeamCC.
I am not arguing against the ruling, but rather the impression that the ruling gives. I do without question believe that there would be more value to the site if these two instances were treated equally (despite the differences in situation), simply so as to NOT give the impression that moderators are allowed to be above the law.
Remember, moderators...perception CAN CREATE reality. And unfortunately, this perception existed before this ruling came down. I relaly think the moderators should reconsider, on those grounds.

Congrats to AoG for helping me achieve my Private rank!!! *throws his golden chef hat on the ground and jumps on it multiple times to show his distaste for such a rank*
congrats to ljex for accusing gannable of farming with no real evidence... did he invite these low ranks? were they higher ranked at the time of the game or was he lower ranked? unless he sent invites there is no way you can call him a farmer... congrats for sullying gannable's great name!-the black jesus

Congrats to the black Jesus for pointing out that people have different views on what farming is. Combine this with the fact that there is a double standard between freestyle and sequential and wolla you can debate for eternity.
Congrats to me for growing a pair and playing CC again after my wife tried to make me quit a month ago and I went 3 weeks till I said screw it and called her bluff. Also congrats to me for congratulating myself again. Congrats to THE Black Jesus for creating this wonderful world we live in and Congrats to Joshy for not breaking his arm in the process of patting himself on the back and Congrats to everyone actually keeping this thread going after it lost its luster a long long time ago.
