Subject: Have any mods ever been fired?

Well Soul has recently blacklisted Yoozel, Maka and Reiginko...

Tristan ;-)


Wait, I got blacklisted? Think again.

Although, maybe Tris knows something I don't. I'm not next am I? Surely the Soul wouldn't ban me, would he? I was always nice and courteous to him, asking him about his day, and his family, and I never made any mum jokes to him.

Well, since all A.I's eventually go rampant after about 9 years due to something or other I can't mention, i'm pretty sure that shishka will follow suit.

But I wouldn't think of it as a bad thing. Think of it as getting to play Marathon all over again. Except in Real life. And without the 2.5D graphics.


Nah, Shishka's much more likely to pretend he's glad to see you, or tell you he's out of ammo, or whatever, and then run right up to your gullible self and explode. As for Marathon without 2.5D, check this little puppy out. Note: it seems normal to experience motion sickness after running Engine Zero.

I was at that age once myself. You know what allowed me to see the error of that view? Getting my ass rightfully kicked by people who didn't appreciate some kid who thought that he knew better how things worked. I only wish that I had been able to learn that in a less painful way. But alas, even though I had plenty of chances to do so, it still took the ass kickings (yes, sometimes I didn't get it the first time) to realize that important rules usually have powerful authorities to enforce them. Good luck to you though.
Ah yess, I also used to be an ignorant bastard who posted crap. It's true. But the people on this site set me straight. of course, that was a long time ago, back in the day when you were allowed to set someone straight.

Used to?! Long time ago?! What are you talking about?!!. - Reigi


Sorry Rip, but I'm going to have to agree with Reiginko on this. Sometimes you still destroy people on this site, but tis still funny.

Mak needed a break from the site anyways, it's just funny how he received it.

Yeah, he needs to get on XBL more often. My XBL list is always full and I haven't seen him in ages. I hate to say it but I may have to remove him soon™

I got nailed by the disembodied soul one time, since I only post in the Classifieds I knew it had to come from Yozell, so I contacted him and he said I got 7 days for being a "something I cannot remember" when I wrote him back and asked what that was he said that basically I was being an idiot to somebody. Since I only use the Classifieds and NEVER flame ANYBODY, nor did I ever post in somebody else's post. I figured he was too busy and just sent me the *generic* explanation. Now,it's their forum and I don't mind playing by their rules, but I really wish they would not take that "We Are Supreme" attitude and at least take the time and check some things out once and awhile.

That's not just my rebellious attitude talking either since I outgrew that way over 30 years ago.

They don't take that type of attitude. They blacklist quite a few people. Imagine going through it in their shoes. You blacklist someone, and a day or two later they contact you and ask why. Now there are probably 10 or 15 blacklists between the time they contact you and the time you blacklist them. Are you going to remember one specific account? (Remember, they have been doing this (Yoozel at least) for a year or two) I doubt it. They give that generic explanation because
a.) It's correct. Vauge, but correct
and
b.) They are trying not to come across as a supremist. They are trying to be polite and give a good answer, like anyone. I can see no flaws in what they have done. That same thing happened to me. Maka blacklisted me for a week and, to my knowledge, I had done nothing wrong. However, they won't blacklist you without a reason.

That's my two cents.

I was a mod, but I got fired in a week. Achronos denies it of course, he wants you to think he's never made a mistake in picking mods.

Maka's been banned for awhile now, but Yoozel (if he was banned) isn't (anymore).

Looks like The Soul hit Maka the hardest (so far).

Edit:

I justed deleted his [Maka's] ban.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Thats how they are. Cover there tracks

Hey sir_brilliant Yozeel is the mod in charge of the Classifieds, but I do not know who the other one is.

hey i was wondering if when you became a mod do you have to change your bungie.net account. Iv been a bungie.net member for a while now since i think june 2004. i know its mid 2004. well what im tryn to get at is iv always been fascinated with the forums and i always hate going into forums hereing people try to talk about how crappy the rules are, getting around curse blocker and stuff like that. idk. but shiska or the reginok (im sure i spelled it wrong) send me a pm or sumthing and possibly tell me my chances. or i guess you can just respond in the forum. later.

Well, I can say this much, even if I were here for ten years my chances would only get smaller. You have to realize, there are about 5000 people who use this site at least once a week. (actually, i dont know how many ppl use it...just a bunch)

it would just plain suck to be a mod then get fired. But wow It would be funny... I mean you would have to be complete idiot to be a mod yet at the top of the food chain get fired. You would have to like... stab archnos or something.Wait, thats impossible my mistake, no flesh...

It would be funny, but only if it was one of the more known mods.

I've been banned by the Soul™ once. I didn't break any rules either. He's just a little rampant, stuck on the ideal that two wrongs make a right -- (First stealing games , and now randomly banning with a faulty BanHammer)

Trust me -- the mods (At least the ones I talk to regularly) are genuinely trustworthy people and Bungie is a small enough company that they can evaluate their worthiness properly. The may bend a rule from time to time -- more often out of benevolence to the user than a need to act out -- they have rarely if ever actually broken a rule. Some rules are like soggy fries though -- you have a lot of play in it before it breaks.

And just for future reference, directed to EAGLES5 - for this comment :
I wish mods would get the same punishments we do for breaking the rules. I can remember a fiew times. -- it's a massive help to your credibility if you can name specific instances when you thought people (Mods or not) broke the rules -- I wouldn't worry about retaliation -- a good moderator is above such things. It helps to have both sides of any issue. You may be right -- but how would anyone know without the example?
