I didn't say it had to allow it but given the whole subject of the forum it makes more sense to flag things as opposed to restricting them entirely and that starts a slope of censorship.
Luna is fast approaching the age where she will be entirely independent, but already even before then I treat her as an independent and she acts like an independent. She is not a baby, nor is she a kid for me to handle. I watch over her in a protective sense, even as she takes the risks that she does.
If you wanted me to take more responsibility of her, I'd be in charge of removing you and others who dare to be so demeaning to Luna and insulate her environment. You'd be the first to go as of this moment. Thankfully, Luna may as well be considered an adult already and can take care of herself. She's still a teenager at heart, and the freedom of anonymity on these forums is allowing her to express it. Likely for this same reason, you and a few others are acting like jerks. The very nature of anonymity on this forum is breeding a seething sea of hateful words.
That's why I typically act indifferent instead of contribute to that sea. Tonight's not a time for me to be indifferent.
I'm not taking anyones side because I don't know any of you and I'm on the side of using this forum safely without risk of any exploits. You're all anonymous people on the internet. This has to stop being so personal and such an ego issue. I'm not here for anyone to like me and if anyone is then they are in the wrong place. If I wanted to talk to friends I'd call them on the phone. But I can't get insight from friends on this topic so I'm here.
There are no exploits, so you can stop being scared, okay? We don't track IP addresses. If someone even gets access to our database, all they will have is literally a username, an encrypted password, and an email. That's IT.
The NSA could FORCE us to hand over our data and guess what? All they will get is what I just listed, and half of you didn't even give an email. The other half, I'm sure it's a fake email.
I dont see how I have been unduly unkind or "criminal" for calling your sister on changing people's usernames and passwords without their permission. You want to ban me? By all means, use the full extent of your authority with which to do so. I promise that if you do, I will never say another word in this place again. Now's your chance. Do it.
That's an admin modifying a table in a database. Not an exploit.
You know, if you wanted this to be a more normal forum with admins who are more professional, please feel free to find another forum.
Most admin's appoint mods to BAN users who so much as insult their sweater. I have yet to ban one person. Even the people whom I dislike more than anyone are still here safe and sound after all is said and done.
I know you have no appreciation for that, but that's because you ARE biased.
