Subject: A Lack Of Moderators Means A return To The Underground Is In Order

Well, it is a good idea to ignore the stupid posts that happen every 2 minutes on the Underground, but it is also kind of the responsibility of the older members to help improve the standard of the forums. In many cases, they will have posted a topic the same as one only a few threads down on the first page, so you have to point out their mistake, just so it isn't repeated. And when we get search, ooh, they'll be in for it. :) Also, if their is a flame war, somebody does have to try and step in, especially if there aren't any mods online. Sure, one person can't stop some of the tides of rubbish that we get on the Underground, but maybe if we (ie the more sensible members) supported each other we could make at least an impression. Don't be afraid of the flamers; if you get flamed by an idiot, it reflects well on your personality, if anything.

I may be an idealist, but that's what I think we should aim for. Stosh and Shishka aren't superheroes!

you took the words right out of my mouth Reiginko. And there's nothing wrong with being an idealist. It's better to try something than to do nothing at all.

I've noticed that most of the flamers end up being idiots, and are therefore very easy to prove wrong with "the facts". Once they see they've done something wrong they usually crumble up an apologize (since staying on the forum and looking like an ass isn't very appealing to them).

i noticed that most flamers end up being pisssed about getting their bottoms kicked by the mods. Ah well, at least they shut up, once their proven wrong.
it's a mad world people.

I have seen quite a bit of repeated topics (being here all day) so I will always link the repeated topic to the first one. I also try and answer all questions (including the really, really dumb ones) as soon as possible so the topic can get off the first page before the new user is flamed. And if any of you guys need my "support" in a flame war thread just message me or something. Ill be over whenever I get your message, although if stosh/shishka is on its probably better to message them so that they lock it or something. And yes, Reginko is right. Once they have some sort of search engine, it'll be so much better. I am definitley linking it in my sig. :D

I agree with Reiginko, even though I will still throw out a 'your mom' comeback at random intervals.

I read both of the threads on Halo53's post on page 2 and I was appalled(spelling?). I could not believe the flame war going on. It was worse than a thread on the America's Army forums debating whether or not the Honor System was a good idea. I was very tempted to respond but managed to hold my tongue. We have two great mods and a whole slew of older members who try the best they can (Halo53, Regienko, Rip Saw, Go Web, Yoozel, JAF, and KIA_Grunt to name a few). Those posts and a few others that I have read completely soured the taste of the Underground for me. I think the only was to get me to go back, besides a link in a post, would be if I was a mod. Since that doesn't seem probable, It may be a while before you see a post from me down there. By the way, great job Shishka and Stosh(I hope you didn't have too much of that bad pizza at E3)!

The underground has gotten better since the return of the Mods. (Star Wars Episode 6 The return of the mod...i) It is great to see some of the newer members also helping out as have the older members you mentioned above. Not everyone who is new has no idea what they are doing. I had no idea when I was new, but thats because I was an idiot :P

Umbligo is belly button in spanish. Tengo un umbligo bonito is I have a beautful belly button, or something. just a random phrase. Oh the fun I had in spanish class last year... we had very random phrases like that. Long story.

Thanks for the translation. I guess I just let a few people ruin my experience without really getting to know the Underground. It's just stupid people like that who really burn me. Also, if your Spanish class is like mine, I can see why you came up with all of those phrases (May 26 and it's done for the year!).

Is there a line between an argument and a flame war? There really doesn't seem to be one. Spanish class does bring back memories. Mary, Greg, a cast of others, and whenever we had free time we would sit around and play BS.

[color=white]Halo53, you know... "TENGO UN GATO EN MIS PANTALONES!" was one of the random phrases I found amusing in Spanish class, also. Only mine was "I have a giant cat in my pants." ;D My "holmies" and I always thought it was funny.[/color]

Ahh, Spanish. I always liked how my 7th-8th Grade Spanish teacher (he's in his 50's) would try to look down girls' shirts and talk about his 20 year old, Mexican wife.
