This thread has gone off-topic, even though I don't know what is on-topic. Skibur you need to stop antagonizing, and everyone else needs to get back on-topic.
/rant.

You still haven't answered my question Skibur, did you keep track of all this on paper or from memory?

If I had written it all down, there would probably be a lot more...

Let me dig through my files and see what I can find :)

I feel honoured to be such a significant part of the lives of so many people :) I guess that's another achievement for the list!


I think about you nightly sweetie!

Hmm, last time I checked trolling was against the rules...

I WAS SOCK

Moderator actions affect my posting in no way... but I'm not what most call an "older" member.

The rules seem easy enough to follow, and I've always felt you have to be looking to get banned if you do. That, or you post something that is iffy on an off day for a mod, and you get the ban.

Take for example my reaction to the dolts who were looking for a reaction. I defended myself, called them a name, I got in trouble. In my younger bnet days, I knew that that would be taking the bait, but in my self-acclaimed "prime" I was under the impression my voice was important and that I was able to use the forums publicly to fight my battles.


Why should you get special treatment?

I was around for that, and at the time the mods were very ban-happy.

I, and many other were consistently banned for calling people idiots, why shouldn't you be banned for calling someone a dolt?

Reported again ;)

Well that's my point. I wasn't in the best place at that time. I was being a dick, even if I was intending to be defending myself. Cheers for the report. I welcome you with open arms this time round.

He was banned from that. -_-
I do believe that moderators may be biased towards older members with high titles, but they still ban them if they perform an offense, they expect better from us and if we disappoint them then they lose respect for us.

The only thing that I think is interesting about this thread is its counter-intuitive penchant. You'd figure that the longer someone is here, the more likely they'd be a sycophant to Bungie or moderators or the normal kinds of hierarchy you find on sites like this. This thread is an anecdote in the other direction from that though. The older members are all more contrarian than you'd expect.

Also, I can only presume Skibur is trolling with his "every time I post I'll make a passive-aggressive jab at 'The Man' for that one time I was banned" affinity. And since all ex-mods are nothing more than trolls now, I'd say this is pretty likely. Well, happy fishing Ski.

Also, the "get over yourselves nerds" guy really said anything else I'd say about this better than I ever could.

Well I went through my stuff and all I have is a bunch of screenshots from HFCS and that sort of thing. Can't really post those.

Also, forgot to mention that I pushed for the repurposing of the Underground, much to elmickers dismay.

Balancing speed with visual fidelity.

It's pretty obvious that there are a lot of people that love to give Skibur a hard time any chance they can get.

'The Man'

"I'm the man, you're the man, he's the man as well, so you point that freaking finger up your donkey!" - Tool (the Band, clean version of lines. Won't say which song...)

Anyways, everyone is 'the man,' and therefore, people should just hate themselves and realized they are pointing out the wrongs that they are obviously guilty of.

I daresay that if you look into it a fair number of complaints* are based on that factor of iffy posts on an off day for mods, and how that inconsistency is a bad thing.

Then throw into that differing opinions on how the rules are/should be interpreted and the general trend that a fair bit of the better discussion (least in the flood) could quite easily be taken as in some way being a political/religious discussion and that your chances of being able to have a good fun discussion are hugely reliant on which moderator(s) happen to see the topic and how petty they're feeling at the time. I've seen firearms topics locked after a couple of pages for being political, and then we've also had that one 1500+ post topic on the same subject which had multiple ninjas posting in it. Same basic topic (if anything the 1500 post one had a more 'political' OP than ones I've seen locked), but one is locked whilst the other gets to 64 pages.

It's not so much an issue with the rules being clear as it is with the interpretation of the rules being rather less clear, and also prone to being rather inconsistent among different ninjas.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

Interesting that SV has to have at least five people post in a thread to get their point across; strength in numbers as opposed to intellect I see. Interesting to note that Respect your fellow members, or at least tolerate them publicly. Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated, even if they probably deserve it. isn't being enforced. I wonder if Skibur has a point about the moderation team...

This is just another thread of mine that they have repurposed and ruined.

I think moderators should just ban everyone they don't like.

you showed disrespect towards a group of users, and then complained that people weren't being banned for disrespecting people.

Most girls I've been with were hesitant about taking it in the mouth. But once they did most would swallow. I got tons of compliments on the taste.

I think it's because of my diet. No fast food, no alcohol and lots of fruit.

Skibur: please try to remain on topic. You are derailing your own thread.

OT: I feel that the moderation team is sketchy and Achronos has no idea what it means to be good at a video game based on our PMs more than a year ago. Some moderators are active on the forums and some are inactive but still ban people. It kind of sucks to get a ban from one who RARELY posts.

I suspect llamas are secretly wizards. I <3 poptarts n' milk. I like me. Grimick is defined as: a logical parodox, the act of funnaling a potato down your throat, and a deliciously flavored muffin (with pecons and blueberries). Norway is the Swedish word for 'moron'. My sister has cancer, so i get to use handicap parking and cut small children in line at Disneyland.

Well here I was clicking this thread hoping for a birthday thread full of rage. I'm sad now :(

Happy Birthday, I got you a tinfoil hat to protect you from the mods that are out to get you :D

I was unaware that telling the truth was disrespectful. Perhaps I should hijack a thread and pepper in some inane comments. Would that be more respectful?
