There is no way he can be serious. He is spitting out semi-legit arguments against dictatorships, but he doesn't seem to realize that as this is minecraft and not IRL, those arguments don't apply. If anything, I suspect that he took a basic class in philosophy and is simply parroting the basic arguments for democracy without actually understanding the argument.
The arguments themselves fall flat because this is an absolute dictatorship, not by the mods but by intelli the server owner. The mods have simply been chosen to enforce his will. There is no need for it to be fair and even, as intelli owns everything here. If he wants to change the server completely and totally, he can and no could stop him.
There is nothing selfish or mean or about it and there is no discussion of natural rights here either, because its a simple fact that intelli is the ultimate authority.
As for the absurd notion that lightbulbs is only trying to improve his odds of becoming a mod, if lightbulbs actually applied for modship right now he would undoubtedly get it. As for myself, i was offered a modship and turned it down, so i suppose in your world view, this would make us the non-governmental elite of minerealm.
Also, your posts are not treated as worthless because of the way they are written but because they have no value and are actually worthless themselves.

Please just accept there is something wrong with the way things work, or at least acknowledge improvements can be made to the forums, the moderator system and the way the server works.No. I like the system right now. And if you actually were sorry, you would stop posting and fix the problem. Being sorry means you intend to fix the problem, not that you don't care and intend to continue to fill this forums with hideous blocks of text and spam-like multi-posts.
