Members have become unruly and disregarding of the rules and of the authority of the admins. Basically, the admins are doing what they were given the jobs to do. To correct and punish the rule breakers. Being a former admin, we weren't strict enough when I was there. Only a few were... Haruspex, Skunkman, Me, Jabinator... To name some. I am actually happy to see the admins stepping up and doing their jobs adequately and effectively. Maybe the members will finally get the idea that there are rules. And they must be followed.

DsiPaint has its social class.

It’s quite sad that people pretty much follow this chart, but it’s true. No one has respect for each other. I see everyone equally, but others see everyone according to that chart, which is not okay. I see the stupidest fights every day.

Noob: haii guise. im new here. add mii 2 ur frendz list.

Normal member: Noob. Go kill youself.

Noob: u jerk. u dunt kno mii!!1!one!!11!eleven!!shift1!

Now, is that really necessary? I think not. Some members haven’t realized that this is just the interwebz and take this site too seriously. If you’re one of those people, listen to me.

DsiPaint is NOT your life.
You will not DIE if you are banned for 24 hours.
You will probably NEVER become admin.

So go outside, take a nice long walk, and go see a therapist. This is just a website. If everyone saw each other equally, there would be less problems, but I’m pretty sure everyone is going to ignore this is continue doing that they want to do. Trolololol.

Rules.

The rules are pretty much put into stupid form. If you can’t follow them, then you’re an idiot.

RULE LIST:
- Admins can use discretion to ban members 24hr for: swearing, spamming, porn, racism, dodging bans, trolling, flaming, etc.
- Please show respect for other members.
- Members are promoted as needed, so no admin requests.

How can it get easier than that? I agree with the rules fully. As crazy and obnoxious I am, I have never been banned once on this site, nor do I have any alts. If I can follow the rules, you can too.

I think the rules are very fair.
I think some admins are strict, and I think some admins are just plain morons. But a few, such as me (^_^), Mystical Zoey, and even HullBreach are the kinds of admins we need to see more.

Members, yes, they all don’t like the rules. They all think admins are the bad guys. I was once their age where I thought any kind authority was stupid simply because I couldn’t do any of the fun (dangerous) things I wanted to do. And that’s precisely why members are like this.
They cuss, get banned, and think they are the victims.

Well, I think it’s stupid... I mean I get banned for no apparent reason by admins... I agree no-one should be cussing but, I hate the admins... there I said it; it would be ok if they picked good admins to do the job, but half the people they pick are retards.

Well, admins are stupid and they need to be nice. Every time I come with a complaint, they shrug it off like its nothing and I hate that so much, and they need to treat us as equals. Also, there should be a day where everyone would vote a new admin to recruit and an old admin to unadminify.

My opinion on admins is that they can be fair at times but not all the time, sometimes they think they are banning and that they are doing the right thing but they are not, they are only banning you because they think you have done something wrong. Also I once go banned for no reason because I had the same IP address as someone who got banned.

That’s a big question.

I’ve had to put many of the rules in place because immature individuals insist on posting pornographic or incendiary content. Those rules are the framework by which admins oversee the websites. Like all groups of people, there are good and bad admins and members. I get complaints all the time, and I generally just brush them off as being annoyances because I see that people need to learn to work things out on their own unless it’s a really critical matter. Unless either an admin or a member commits an horrific act, I like to stay out of it so that I can work on the infrastructure of the websites instead of micromanaging the bickering of others.
