Manchu was cool before he became a Mod, we used to RP as Vikings and Chaos Marines in the Fiction forum.

I'm actually pretty sad about it. But then he banned me for two days.

Dildos. :(

I'm going to go listen to Burzum and sulk.

Oh come on, the mods aren't that bad I mean most of the warnings (and that one ban ) I've got were well deserved (except my abortion joke that was way too good of a chuckle to be removed from a thread) .

I haven't seen kanluwen do anything to break the rules the time I've been here.....You seem to have some beef with him though Luna

The mods ate my cattle, raped my wife and burned my log cabin.

Most of the time I just lurk, it's -really- that bad for me. Although I wonder what the people on my friends list have to say..I don't PM them anymore.

Hmm. *Feels deep and isolated*

Tom, see this why things are so hard to solve.
You and a few other mods are the good ones.
You are here on goodwill explaining something you and some others didnt do. Yet the true guilty ones will never respond.

With that said im out of this thread, not going to blame the wrong person.

Thats the problem, you joined on the month where my 3rd ban started.
You missed it.

Alright guys. You have now a moderator who is currently looking at this thread. He gave us some wise words. Is there anything you'd like to redress now or via PM that could be resolved without spamming this thread?

No, it's not.

nd in the same situation, i get 3 months banned for calling someone's response "deliberately obtuse and dodging the question"

You got a 3 month suspension for stirring up nonsense with someone you had been repeatedly told to stop stirring up nonsense with, fully understanding (because you had previously been told in no uncertain terms) that doing so would earn you that suspension.

That works both ways. That 'disney-level filter' isn't just there for the kids. Dakka's rules about keeping things family friendly are there just as much for those adults who would like to be able to discuss their hobby without being sworn at and called names by other supposed adults as they are for the young'uns on the board.

I remember I got banned for posting a unfamily friendly picture and unrelated photo rofl.
but anyway 2 mods. In 15 minutes rofl. Means this thread is getting alot of attention.

That's 2 mods looking at the thread.....

This website is not a democracy. You have no rights here other than what is afforded to you by it's owners and those they have granted a degree of power to.

I have been suspended twice and warned several times, in part that's down to my (somewhat fiery) temperament and in part down to the amount I post and how long I've been using the site. I think, on the whole, that the moderation team do a good job and allow a great deal more freedoms to us than you'd find on most other sites of this kind.

OP, if you've been warned twice in under 30 posts, you should take a look at what you're posting or you're not going to have a bright and shiny career here.

Yes, favouritism exists, yes it isn't fair, yes you can be upset about it...

But whether or not the emperor's wearing any clothes doesn't matter when he still signs the death warrants...

It's getting a lot of traffic, so it -should- be getting looked at.

Dang, as a new mod here this was your one chance to stand out from the rest and you had to ruin it.

You can lock this thread insaniak but dont erase it. You are going to swallow your own words i can guarantee you that.
It happened before and it'll happen again, maybe you missed it or maybe you ignored it. But when it happens again.... this thread will be here.

Stirring nonesense? nope it was a valid discussion about finecast. And i did a good job presenting what i wanted to say i might add, and lots of people UNDERSTOOD and agreed with me.

Thank you insaniak.

We have two active moderators here.

So the PM function is on, and two moderators are now visible for communication.

PM them.

Warone also next future mod

I drew this picture of the thread for you all to look at.


..I hope you like it.

Has the PM feature ever not worked? lol?
I've always wondered that.
Though one thing I have always wondered what am I on the social ladder of dakka? rofl?

Every time I have PM'd a mod, I have gotten a quick response. I have also given Mods respect when I PM'd them, using proper grammar and speech, and addressing them as not equals, but as a judge. I was making my case. If you PM them with something like "ZOMG IM NOT WANT BANNED", then they will perhaps ignore it, or ban you for longer.

In short don't be a meanie to the Mods. Because they have the scissors ready to cut the Damocles sword.

What's the point in that,

or do I smell a troll...

LunaHound wrote:Warone also next future mod

Hardly.

I'm prone to spam and will admit not the best judge of character or a person who accepts criticism lightly.

There are far better people already at their moderator stations doing a much better job than I could ever do.

*@Ash*
I'd have to say your the guy kissing the heel of the Mod's so your spared of their fire and possibly become a favorite.

I dunno though it's not like I was ever socially successful or anything.
*@Bombboy*
Actually you know I used to get a kick out of posting Trollbait in my earlier days of dakka...

And the point of that was to post that the thread is going up in flames faster then a Norwegian church in 1993.

you were adressing someone else

Good. You should be sorry.

GROVEL TO THE MIGHT OF THE MIGHTY BARBARIAN WARLORD SHADOWBRAND!

Watch as derp Njal Stormcaller casts Jaws of the World Wolf on everything you love!

*Cackles manically as the flames consume the thread and himself as he is banned temporarily for speaking out against the mods*

I actually shouldn't be sorry because you didn't know how to address the right people the first time...

I was just trying to be polite

I can guarantee you, when i know im getting banned for something unfair, i'll be fighting not begging.
infact, after im done saying what i need to say i always tell (HIM) to do w/e he want.

See chowderhead, im not dumb enough to not know when someone wants me gone.
Especially when they go to the length to delete what proof i had that they misread my post.

and my name is bombboy, not bombbot...
