Bravo, Googi. Finally someone says what needs to be said in a mature way. If this thread were to be deleted it would be an outrage and proof that the administration had taken the 'elasticity clause' rule to heart and
ran with it.

I really cannot comprehend your opinions on this matter. Are you seriously suggesting that the moderators be given
more power? The power they have is a massively unpopular fact and clearly resented by the majority of posters who care enough to even comment on it either way. You say these things like you're an actual member of Unixmad's ghost majority. But there is no majority. It's you. That's one versus dozens or maybe even hundreds of users.
Are you a true believer that this should be a totalitarian system in which moderators, chosen for no reason other than they had somehow gained the graces of the owners of this business should be given absolute authority over everything that happens in these forums? That their opinions, which have no proven merit over any other forum user, should be held in a regard completely in a different ballpark from our own? You are asking us to become a subjecated mass
willingly. You're being ridiculous.
The other point you consistently make is that the company needs no loyalty to us, the paying customers. It has been discussed many times that this is a business in trouble. They're a business in trouble for one reason, they don't listen to their customers. Without us, there are no servers. There's no vBulletin subscription. There's no office. There's no paycheck for Unix or Stefan or anyone else. They go off and find another job. That's the very root of power. That gives us power directly. This
is a democracy in a sense, because we are participating in a free trade system which heavily relies on
we, the users purchasing accounts from GO and CJ for their survival.
This business needs profits, and they've already lost alot through the improper administration and moderation of these forums.
