Well, we can't prevent forest fires, only you can.

I miss the way the forum was a year ago when i joined.

I don't recall all that much flaming. I guess with around two thousand members it's a bit different.

I think the mods are doing fine.

So do I.

Guys just listen, Moderators and Administrators spend their precious time locking threads, preventing flames, banning people. They cannot take sides, as that would be disobeying their job rules, and also if YOU had to sit there most of the time, telling people 'No flaming' and banning people, and locking threads, I think you could be strict also.

Like I always say, Strict admins are good, as they keep everyone in line.

But not too strict admins.

Madcow, I think I figured out what you mean, but you said the thread was to harsh then that we need to be harsh. I'm sorta lost with that...

daguuy, you're not a marter. Sorry to burst your bubble. You've had your say so much, now it;s getting you in trouble. If you want to whine, do it in the rules thread like everyone else ever has. The superlite. Go, please. Fill it to the brim with ideas of why we're mean and what we should do.

Guys, honestly, I'm amazed at how people can conjure all these isuues out of nowhere. We're doing our jobes and because people who break rules are getting trouble, we;re wrong. Believe me, you'd be angrier if we just gave up and let the forum go to hell. MOre so than now.

Woo! You'd better read the PM I sent Triton. I'll have my suitcases packed within the hour!

P.S. It may contain Gustapo's...

Also the issues aren't out of nowhere. You are being tyranical. You are flaming people just as much as me! Yes, I will admit, its more subtle but god dammit these people are ACTUALLY SAD ENOUGH TO FEAR YOU! I for one don't give a copulate if i'm banned. I'll say, oh well. But you aren't being fair to these people.

Sword_Gun wrote:Sir, Flaming is flaming, even if your flaming someone who doesnt really "connect", well its still flaming and its an offence.

So are you suggesting that because we don't blame American Settlers for nearly wiping out the Native Americans that we should also not blame Saddam Hussein, possibly Luc in a costume

JK, for the terrible things he has done as everyone is equal.

Also, I don't care.

@Bicostp:

I can find many thing's wrong with your argument. Most;y a few contradictions in your views. I agree. I should be at a 3 day ban. But not for the Nazi = Luc thing. But for the fact I have been so horrible to the other members just because I deem them inferior in certain respects. Because Luc is not being strict, he is being tyranical! Also why is only Triton scolding me with the rules and stages of warning! Can't some of you other Mod's give him a day off for once!

OMG He LOCKZORD My tHred!!1111!!ElEVEN!!!! Wut a NaZI!!1!! OMGDZORZ!!!!!11!1

Sam i find it really pathetic that your comparing such disasters and horrible events to a tiny little fight on a forum that most people dont even know exist. How the hell can you compare such tragedies like death ,torture, imprisonment, and many more horrendous things to a puny internet fight. Stop relating your S***y little internet cat fights to horrendous tramatic even deadly experiences.

Sounds to me like your sulking Sam. Your trying to shift the blame of the fact that you broke enough rules that by saying Luc is being a tyrant. Too bad your wrong. You think we'd simply ignore someone abusing the forums perticularly when they have power to change it like (us) the mods do?

I would also make it clear that we don't like name calling in flaming of memebrs, think about how it is when you make the comment that one or all of the mods are Nazis. We let it slid once and we regret it got that far, so just to let anyone know don't disrespect the mods or flame us and there will be no need for any warnings or bans to happen.

Can We just stop fighting / temporary ban the people fighting excect for mods

Sword_Gun · Post by **Sword_Gun** » Thu Jul 27, 2006 3:15 pm

I'm not fighting, I am stating informational factoids, that may help people.

Idiot. Yes please. People ban me for saying that. I was comparing the type of actions he was takeing! You stupid idiot.

Also why censor crap, it will just come out as excrement!

@person above:

I have stated I need to be banned many time, really I should have been banned by now.

@Sparkfist:

I am not shifting the blame, I said I deserve banning! I said that the other, Daguuy etc, did not deserve for Luc to be drilling, british slang, them for barely anything.

*reads Bic's post*
woohoo not every mod hates me. i really haven't done anything very bad. i'll admit i brushed against the second rule 5 once or twice but i got my warning so i'll steer clear of that in the future. but there are some things that still bug me. i know calling the mods nazis may be crude and offensive but it's just like cussing when you're really pissed off, everybody does it. i won't do it if you guys are gonna shoot me in the face about it though. sam fisher may be nasty sometimes but it's not always a bad thing, it's a sign of freedom to say what you want, and i respect that.

i understand a desire for freedom of speech and all that good stuff but there is a saying that comes to mind at times like these

The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic

i understand you get angry of frustrated at the mods for whatever reason but likining us to one of the most hated and evil groups of people who ever existed, who killed millions of people, is just way overboard! while some people may not like you for whatever reason i have n problem with you

I'm going to do my best to keep this as straight as possible, so work with me here:

i know calling the mods nazis may be crude and offensive but it's just like cussing when you're really pissed off, everybody does it.

Okaaaaay...two things.
1. No. Not everybody does it.
2. If they did, it wouldn't make it right.

Let me make this very clear: There will be no more Nazi-Mod comparisons. At all. I will not tolerate that kind of blatant disrespect and insensitivity.

sam fisher may be nasty sometimes but it's not always a bad thing, it's a sign of freedom to say what you want, and i respect that.

No, sam fisher breaks forum rule #1 nearly everytime he posts. If you respect that, than I'm not as surprised as the comment of yours I quoted above. Your words, not mine.

EDIT: Sky tied me about the smiley.
