California Mountain Snake Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 A suggestion: First off, let me say I should not have been allowed to post half the shit I have and gotten away with it. No, three-quarters. I generally follow the "I don't know where the line is until I cross it" rule, and if this forum has proven one thing to me, it's that there is no fucking line. Using the report button to hide the forums rules last night? I should have gotten warned for that (And if you go all ex-post-facto on me NOW it'll only confirm all the allegations I made in my other suggestion thread, which I also should have gotten warned for). The great thing is, this is easy to fix. Get some mods with some fucking balls. Or tell the old mods to be more vigilant. Doesn't matter. If there's a single propensity in this universe, it's that things naturally turn to shit without upkeep. And with no mods in sight, this place is doing exactly the same. And no, this does not mean "HURF DURF I guess I'll ban the rabble-rousers and call it a job well done," because you'll still have a fucking problem (not to mention lose some of your top posting members), and it would only be a temporary alleviation to an ongoing problem. The problem, plain, and simple as day, is this: Maintaining a community requires diligent andongoing work, and the actions of the administration of this website have consistently demonstrated that those in charge do not realize this fact. It's not magic, and it isn't something that can't happen here "because of the memberbase". Those are just cowardly excuses to shirk y'alls own responsibility. It's as simple as fucking doing your chores, not letting shit pile up, and spending time and work on the website. If you leave it to turn to shit, it WILL turn to shit. In summary, more staff, more strict but consistent enforcement of the rules. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyosua Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 tl;dr Go post your walls of text rants somewhere, where people actually care. Warn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau of Isaac Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 tl;drGo post your walls of text rants somewhere, where people actually care. Warn. I care about his opinion. I would be willing to bet several others do as well. I think you're going a bit overboard now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defeatist Elitist Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) Where's my warn Jyo? Or do I not get one because I'm not an "evil Blacken Clone"? Edited July 6, 2009 by ZXValaRevan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knife Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I agree. Jyo, stop going crazy. He was only suggesting an idea. The reason Jyo won't listen to this is because any Moderator with balls also has the balls to oppose him. Warn me. I don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 People wanting to get warned... This is pathetic and amusing at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufasa Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Wow. Everyone needs to chill out. Making topics like this isn't really going to help, and neither is taunting Jyosua. Especially when you're talking with hostility to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defeatist Elitist Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) Wow. Everyone needs to chill out. Making topics like this isn't really going to help, and neither is taunting Jyosua.Especially when you're talking with hostility to begin with. You don't understand Lyle. He is essentially specifically targeting Black Knight here. As you can see, I agreed with him entirely, but didn't get warned. BK is also getting Warned for a bunch of other things that are really overreactions. I'm speaking with hostility because this really is bizarre.

Rehab Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 You don't have to be "that guy" and this doesn't have to be "that forum." Few of the people brewing this are out/out idiots, which is obvious enough, but my kingdom for some self-consciousness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superbus Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 It was a game of cat and mouse. He wanted to get warned, and I let him get warned. You fucking baited him. You baited him here, baited him elsewhere, and came off as a petulant child. I'm still reading everything else that's been coming up (since whenever stuff happens, everyone comes RUNNING to 'Bus, as if I still can fix the fandom), and I'll have full comments when I'm ready. But I'll tell you right now: you don't have the balls to take me on the way you did Black Knight, Blacken and the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot more respect for you, because you have only ONCE stepped out of line, and that was to raise your voice about something that absolutely needed to be said. There would be no reason to handle you like the others. I am fully prepared for any walls of text you have ready to give me a verbal beating for the way I acted, how I handled the situation, and the current state of the forum. But I'll say this much, There is a 99% chance that the bannings I made will not change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
