Icarus finally lost it? :p

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. Doesn't matter though, they won't take steps to sort the problem out. They'll just make wise comebacks to me and insult me over my history.

 

[Javert]

Sigh... mods on trial, part 16,841.

Can you perhaps see why? Moderators with impunity are very efficient moderators, of course, so are governments with impunity.
Power does not beget respect.

 

[The Dark Elf]

WTH? Mods on trial, i'm not trying to be a mod, I just pointed the unfairness of this...

this is really Mods Vs Community, sad...

go then if you don't like it here. Trust me, nobody is keeping you from leaving.

guinny, you started to calm down, and you start up again?

STOP TRYING TO CAUSE A RIFT!

the only split around here is in your heads.

I fail to see your argument against chipmunk's point (which i agree with).

 

[ShinRa]

Started to calm down? Dude I've been nothing but nice to everyone here since whenever that thing with SW happened. I'm not trying to cause a rift but I don't wanna end up leaving this place and going to another forum over something stupid like this.

With your reputation do you really think saying "I don't wanna end up leaving this place" is going to make swift and major changes happen?

If you were genuine about trying to improve things, you'd do it the proper way, not jump into a thread you know nothing about and begin throwing accusations around the place and then acting like a victim when someone calls you on it.

Come now, this is going no where

Did I say it did? I was merely making an observation.

/me gets popcorn for the show

 

[Alec_85]

If HE told that to YOU, YOU would probably have banned him...

That's how it is on like 99.9% of all Internet forums that I've heard of. Or, that's how the majority of mods I've seen work.

/Me goes to sit with thehunter, bringing some booze

 

[The Dark Elf]

Dude I've been nothing but nice to everyone here since whenever that thing with SW happened.

So I reread that and thought, hmm, maybe I'm being a bit hard on guinny. So I went back and read your other posts in this thread.................

They'll just make wise comebacks to me and insult me over my history.

Alot of it has to do with the mods coming across as A-holes no offense

I didn't know you guys were zombies and couldn't have the logical sense to think

and you know what, don't even bother replying. because all the mods always have something to say, and you never just want to listen to the community anyway, you stick up for each other like some kind of clan. so just forget i said anything, ill go about my daily routine and you guys just do whatever you wanna do. because i know im not going to change anything, noone will, because its what the mods say, and thats that

Cause trouble? It's the goddamn truth, and I haven't flamed anyone, and I'm not insulting him

That one is just funny.

I don't see how anything I've said is offensive,

heh oh?

If you can't handle it, then just make me another one of your bans (you guys do that right, banning people)

We ban people who don't follow the rules yes.

Always with the wise ass comments fen

It's pointless to even try to make this community better, when people like you don't even have an open mind to think I'm trying to make things better, not worse.

Meh...maybe it's just me then lol. Who knows anymore. I'll just stop before I get banned for the 6th time lol.

Well I think its plain to see WHY you've been banned so many times.


So I guess thats you being nice huh? I'd like to refer you to this site http://angermgmt.com/ and I suggest you do what you learn there, because if you don't change, and I mean right now. This will be the LAST time your banned, you wont be allowed back..

We're such horrible people thats why we gave you SIX chances to change when anyone else is gone and gone for good when they get banned. Seems you've been treated VERY well here, yet your behavior just spoils it in the end.

 

[Beast206]

Whatever we do, we can't win. Simple fact :/

That's exactly right. The solution... do your job as best you see fit. I'll say this again.. you do NOT have to defend yourselves. People are going to whine regardless. I think all the moderators do a spiffy job. Let's be honest... 70% of the threads we see are redundant/flamebait/wrong forum. Solution.. lock 'em down. Which is what they're doing. *shrug* I don't see any problem really.

Don't worry, we will, and thanks for the encouragement

 

[CyberSh33p]

He never had 'it' to begin with
just kidding icky you're doing a great job, maybe general discussion will be less mind-numbingly stupid to venture into now.

 

[riTuaL]

Personally, I think way more than half the threads on these forums (Half-Life 2 Discussion specifically) are just useless blabber that result in spam and flaming. I don't like to come to the forums and have to rifle through threads of mindless bs in order to come across a valid opinion or discussion. MOD ON MODERATORS!

btw, I haven't seen Abom shutting down many threads lately. What happened to the Iron Fist Rule of Abom. I used to fear that avatar.

 

[ComradeBadger]

Can't we all.. just.. get along?

Abom's been away recently, but don't worry, the iron first is back, and as shiny as ever

 

[Beast206]

All the worshipping in the off topic area tarnished it a bit already I believe!

 

[blahblahblah]

Shiny? I thought it was more rusted and covered in blood than shiny. Well, he's been gone a while so he could've had it polished or something.

I've always thought the mods on this site are fair and just.

Agreed.



I post less and less here do to all the garbage. Im glad to see you guys are finnaly taking action.

 

[Axyon]

Oh, you guys are so kind

Yeah, I'll be getting back into the swing of things now... the blood will pour once again!

 

[Beast206]

STRIDER!... err ... ABOM! Run away!

 

[ShinRa]

I guess defending myself would just be considered me being an asshole so in that case, your right fen and I'm sorry to bring this upon everyone. I just saw the window of opportunity and THOUGHT i had a chance of getting a point across. I need to take lessons how to get a point across . Anyway, keep on modding. :thumbs:

 

[Duracell]

Whatever we do, we can't win. Simple fact :/

You're a figure of power, people have to complain to someone, you're the obvious person to turn too - Sad but true, sometimes I feel sorry for all of you

You're all doing a good job and it just seems most people are against you :|

 

[CyberSh33p]

Indeed Duracell, the status of the forum seems to degrade with each new member too :| especially the ones whose first post isn't the introductory section(not all of you mind ye), where they skip right to trollin'. this causes more people that whine about mods, and also annoys some mods quite a bit *coughfensehcough* which may lead them to being a bit, miffed shall we say, and so may seem more hostile in closes and posts and such.

 

[The Mullinator]

Its like people demand anarchy sometimes. 99.9% of the people banned deserve it, for the few people who didn't deserve a banning it is almost always as a result of an honest mistake by the moderators. As for locked threads well they basically all need it anyways.

The mods are not out there to piss people off, they are there to keep the majority of people who use the forum happy. Personally I am happy with the increased banning and closed threads because it keeps this forum from devolving into anarchy.

Keep up the good work. :thumbs:

Cybersh33p, only thing annoys me is your ability to stalk me down on IRC when I am otherwise engaged and ask me questions already answered, or try to fight other people's battles.. Which I will say again, makes THEM look bad too. So it helps nobody, if you have forum related questions, keep them to the forum, don't hunt me down on IRC because your almost guaranteed to get nowhere simply because its the wrong place and the wrong time and the wrong way to go about it.

defensive are we I wasn't referring to myself or any incident specifically really, but looks like you might know what I'm talking about.

by the way, [hunting down] happened what? 3 times in the past how long? and the other time was the other way around there, mate

Yeah my bad, I forgot the other time was me PMing you to give you a warning about the way you'd been behaving.

And it was more than any three times too I can tell you that.
