Why? No one knows who you are. We might as well say, "random person #3."


I'm usually in new mombasa.

was I in this? I think I was why is he blacklisted?


I haven't seen him do anything that could get the mods' attention besides FIPA, it might have something to do with that.

MCs Brother has been blacklisted for a week for some topic he started in New Mombasa. Stosh warned him on something regarding that topic, but MCs Brother didn't listen and crossed stosh, so to speak. I've been talking to MCs Brother through PM and gave him some advise. He'll be back in a week and hopefully somewhat better (I'm sure he'll be better).

Anyway, FIPA wasn't a direct reason to blacklist him, but I do want to ask all to stop this FIPA bussiness. It makes you look elitair in regards to spammers and dumb posters (no offense intended by the use of elitair) Also, I don't think the mods like it either (but I can't speak for them).

There were plenty of warnings, and it was stupid to continue. It just does not work.

The FIPA
Forum
Inteligence
Protection
Agency.

MC's Brother got blacklisted for a week because he tried to condense many threads into one. It's completely unrelated to this thread or his resulting replies.

That is our groups main problem Gnorn, we seem to come off as "L33Ts" (pardon me) when we are just trying to alert people to unnecessary behavior and rule violations.

I notice that you have a FIPA rank in your sig. How do you find out your rank?

It tells you in the Members list. And lets end this off-topic discussion of FIPA, if you wish to know more then PM me or start a new thread.

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

This FIPA thing sounds a lot like the NMST (New Mombasa Strike Team) that formed in the Septagon a few months ago, only to be disbanded immediatly when the mods, um, asked us to stop.

The problem with FIPA is that it already has been tried, and it failed. It just doesn't work.

The most you're going to accomplish is a flame war. Seriously. Ordinary members like us cannot do anything about the problems within the forums, other then stay out of them, and possibly alert that mods. That's the most you can do, and what you should do.

What FIPA members do is post calm and inteligent posts alerting the posters of their violation and to ask them to stop their acitivity, we then alert the mod's to this thread and ask for them to deal with it as they see fit.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

In theory, it would work. In reality, it never will. Just like Communism.
What you should do, instead of constantly correcting people, is help them correct themselves. Hard to explain. Lets say there are 3 topics, all somewhat different, on the front page. make one topic, link all the other three topic's ideas to that one, and let the other topics fall away. See? Then New Mombasa is cleaner. We cant tell them to use correct grammar like we can here, because thats like... a different world. Thats like Imperialism. Thats like me going to Alabama and telling everyone they cant use a southern accent anymore.

My point is, if thats the way they like it, and the mods arent totally fed up, then leave it.

Heh. I just thought of an acroynym for FIPA

Fanatical
Imperialistic
Persons
Administration

That was a joke. Don't take it personally.

Thats what the NMST did. Till the mods came.

Exactly, and that combined with the FIPA idea, makes one look like he thinks he stands above it all - no offense.

All we can do is correct those, ehm, less bright members, point them to the right forums (dumbasses for not finding it in the first place) and where possible get back to them using their own words (not their own writing though, CUZ IT IS TEH SUXZOR). Most importantly, whenever a thread turns into a flamewar or turns completely inapropiate (racism and such) PM a mod. And don't post in the thread anymore, because it will get it bumped all the time.

Just some things I try to do, but I must confess that I ocassional unintentional break my own rules. But hey, we are all human.
