If some notification is disabled in the notifications settings but you still get the emails, it's a bug. Can you please elaborate? What kind of emails are you getting? 

So mentions are only implemented for debate comments and forum posts, for the former, there is a setting called New addressed comment in the notifications settings -> "Debates" tab; for the latter, there is New addressed forum post in the notifications settings -> "Forum" tab. Those settings should allow to disable or enable the notifications. But let me know if they don't work.

Your posts make you seem hopeless.

Have you ever seen the movie Cloud Atlas?

Are you really saying that "Reality minus god equals hopelessness" is "A concise and accurate equation for a ubiquitous human cognitive phenomenon."?

Reality is 'minus god', but I don't see things as being 'hopeless' on that account.   Things are as hopeless or hopeful as we make them.

In all sincerity, I've been reigning my lascivious self in a bit now that I am a mod. I want to be more professional and restrained, as becomes the position. That said, I don't mind loosening up a bit on occasion, and in certain situations. Besides, all that testosterone--Spacetime was clearly flirting with me.

Punishing ties is fine. It's what people deserve for debating things that bore people.

... Well okay then. File that away... note to self: do not go off on a developer in Sup's presence.

It is isn't about the developer, it is about the hard work he does for the site, constantly updating it. If he sat around doing nothing not appointing moderators and having bad glitches, I would be 100% on the wagon

I was thinking the thread title was hyperbole. None of his actual posts in the thread match the intensity of the title. 

He has a way of "clickbaiting" his titles. I don't like this because if a new member clicks on the site, the clickbait thing is "CORRUPT RATING SYSTEM, MIKE IS CORRUPT TO CORE" he is clearly extra salty

Airmax would not automatically be given one. But, I would be happy to step down were he interested. Clearly Mike would need to approve, but I didn't think I needed to specify that--I just took it as obvious.

Your probably right. I should have backlogged my anger. But I was tired and didn't feel like taking his crap

It pisses me off when people talk about stupid things and claim stupid threats to me. I also get angry when they go off on a developer 

The dudes works his rear end off only to get trashed by someone who I bet doesn't even know how to code

• I haven’t admitted that was my intention. 
  
• You responding immediately to my initial comment clearly shows that you have no life. You are on this website constantly — because your life is so thoroughly sad. You have nothing and no one. Meanwhile I have guys asking me out every single day ;) 
  

How does it feel to be a sad loser? You’ve lost in life RM. That is why you spend 24 hours a day on a debate site. 

I am indeed moderator, though if Airmax or Whiteflame ever wanted the job, I'd happily hand it over to them.

Yes, they get a pass. Only words that fit the hate speech category are banned. So pretty much all profanity. I don't really care if you censor the f-word.

Yea your more bipolar than 1/2 the chicks in my grade. Go threaten me to give me a L on a debate for a stupid thing I do that I felt like doing on my free time. Your funny. Go suck Types dick and claim to have beef with him:P

So? Hysterical people used to burn herb women and midwives, that doesn't mean that it's 'dehumanizing' to make fun of someone for being a weird cat lady. I can find more regimes that murdered (and are murdering) people for being Catholic than you can find ones which murdered them for screwing other men, but it's not 'dehumanizing' for people to call me by silly names. Did fucked up things happen to Catholics? Yeah. But with the exceptions of some slaves under the Ottomans and in North Africa, (and some actions of the English in Ireland) people didn't treat us like livestock because we were Catholic. Dehumanizing is a powerful word because it's specific. It's not about telling you who you can stick your dick in or even trying to control you religious expression, its about telling you that 'you aren't human'. It's about ignoring your basic human instincts, like love for your offspring or the right to own anything that you create. Hence the name. If you say that someone is 'dehumanizing' a man by calling him a tranny or telling him to put on a pair of pants instead of a dress, then the word loses a bit of the raw power meant to describe specific, uniquely horrific acts like chattel slavery, large-scale extermination, crushing totalitarianism, or sadistic torture.

go fuck yourself.

Dude, trust me, I already do--it's called a vibrator. Y'all straight men should try them sometime; they're hella fun.

It's times like this I breathe in the fresh air and think about how relieved I am that I'm not in leadership.

Oh, to be free once more...

Yet you keep slurping up to the mod of whatever site you find yourself, until you are "in" with him.

Sure you long to be free.

I don't think it was created at all. But I think it's a miraculous and mind-boggling little gem that is like no other rock in space we have yet discovered, and it regularly fills me with amazement.

Now that is a puzzling statement. You don't think it was created, but you accept it exists. Surely you don't think it just magically appeared all by itself? Even if it is a fragment of something else … it still had to come from somewhere or  thing. You think it is a miraculous and mind boggling little gem? Well that is observant. It is unique - so unique "that is like no other rock in space". It feels you with amazement?  

- Are the Earth's purpose and humanity's purpose two different things, or is the purpose of our planet bound to us in some way?

This is a good question too. Firstly, if God did create everything, then the answer of purpose for the earth and humanity is the same. It is to glorify God and to enjoy him for ever. From a non-theist's point of view, the two would or may be vastly different.  I suspect that the earth's purpose in this latter case would as Hawking might suggest be nothing. Humanity's purpose on the other hand could not be a collective thing, unless it was to survive (although this raises more difficult questions such as why?) so it must be totally subjective to each individual. And their purpose would be to do things in order to live and to die. They might include things along the way - to look after their children etc, to live peaceably with each other, but all of these (without God) would still be directed their own individual purpose in life.

Either have a third party rewrite it, or place the moderation team.

 I do appreciate that I'd probably be singing a different tune here if I had personally been sanctioned by the mods. 

So if you couldn't be objective and fair, why do you automatically believe the mods would?

I left DDO and I'm back at DDO with the same no oversight mod ruling the board by whim. This is not what I signed up for.
