Davefree, you are missing the point. The point is men that volunteer for a position of authority for no cash money do it for altruistic reasons or they do it for a different currency. I do not feel that NYr is altruistic. Rather I feel his currency thrives where women and sex intertwine, and it sickens me. There, I said it. But, really, I've been saying it all along.
Love your avatar. You must be married or some shit like that.

The point I was making is who cares? The hobby is not for this site, this site is here for the hobby. How about going and getting laid instead of worrying about what other people do on a whore board? You can question the decisions mods make all the time if you wish (and I will bet many of those decisions are not based SOLELY on what the actual mod thinks, he more than likely has input from others who are not mods), but regardless of how wrong you think it is, after it is made, 99.999% of the time, it is not gonna change, be it points, a ban or whatever they do.
Because there is no mod over the mods, you could complain to St. Chris if you do not like what a mod does, but that will probably fall on deaf ears as I am sure he does not want to involve himself in the drama that is this board. In reality tho, pissing and moaning about a mod's decision, especially if it does not effect your membership privileges, MAY make him have a hard on for you and probably effect those privileges going forward!
As I said, it is not the post per say that earns the points, it is other factors that determine if your receive them or not. As a prime example of what I was talking about in my earlier post, this post,
http://eccie.net/showpost.php?p=1058...&postcount=460 has nothing to do with this thread and only serves as a personal shot against a member who posted on the thread, aka a basic thread hijack. Did he receive points or even a warning? I doubt it, as this guy does the same types of posts many times even in one day and has been doing so for years and years, but he has not been banned on point totals.
