I promised I'd get up close and personal with some of home's self appointed elite. Now here's the first! I decided to go for Jim777, since #1 we just covered one of his laughable posts, and #2 he decided to leave a mean message in the comments of one of our posts. Mean boy. So, here's Jim777 in all his elitist glory:

Dont make threads about threads being locked, if you have an issue with why it was done contact moderation
#1 you're not a mod, don't tell people what to do. #2 we have made great progress exposing that nothing will come of talking to the moderators.

The first thing a lot of people say to me is that I brown nose, that I am always trying to look good for the mods and managers. While I think everyone should conduct themselves in a civil and nice manor to say that I am posting just to look good is just not the case. For example when I joined the HCV program a lot of my fellow HCVs filtered their posting a bit more, posting less, posting more info when they did post, and only posting when they felt they needed to. I however did not, I felt that if the program would demand that I change my posting style then I would not be comfortable with it any longer. So I continued posting in my usual manor. And yes I made goof ups on occasion as I always do and will continue to do, and yes maybe I posted when I shouldn't have, to err is human. But I take pride in the fact that I did not alter my posting style to try and please the community or management.
Jim777 got booted to the curb. By his fellow elitists. Nice to know the other self-absorbed socialites of home.

People often tell me that I agree with Sony to much, that I blindly follow them. Again this is not the case. The difference is that when I have a complaint or a disagreement I usually don't post it.
It's easier to just shut up and take it, isn't it. I don't know if I'd explain on a forum that I was a coward, but to each their own.

I also feel that due to the overwhelming number of complaints on the forums that Home tends to get bashed a lot, and since the management is busy getting development on fixing these issues, updating Home, reading these forums, having lives outside of Home, being in world to make sure everything is as it should be and eating delicious cake, that they just don't always have the time to reply to everyone. So I try to act as the voice of reason and help people out however I can to make these forums a place you can receive info as well as give.
"I try to act as the voice of reason." Wow, it must be exhausting to be so self-important.

That is not the mods jobs, mods or moderators enforce the TOS, devs or developers fix Home and make new content.
Wait, you actually know what it is the mods do? Weird, NO ONE ELSE DOES.

The devs certainly put alot of work into tiny details, from huge breathtaking views of waterfalls to a crack on a table Home is a treat for the eye.
You Might want to check this post: Sorry, you're just not good enough. Seems the mods don't care about detai.... oh wait, you posted in there already, that's right!

All in all, I'll give Jim777 this. He isn't the worst of the bunch, he seems like just a dumb kid trying too hard. Which is one of the reasons I picked on him first. I'm saving the people who are worse for later enjoyment. There are many people worse I will go after soon enough. However this is a prime example of a person who'd rather go with the flow then fight. I prefer the old fashioned approach, which is why I started this blog. To quote the Declaration of Independence:

That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
Although rights of free speech and such don't apply in circumstances such as these, when you put enough people together who are sick of the cultural norm, things begin to happen.
