Whos Staying ? ( Silver lining ?) - Page 3

l_eclipse_l · #31 08-12-2005, 07:48 PM

I plan on staying. Even us N/T guys need to stick around and help out where out knowledge allows. As long as things don't go to shit and I don't see a newb question every other thread things will be just fine in due time.

You guys gotta remember that Jake and Joe made this place what it is, but they also tried to take it down and ruin it for everyone. So while you are appreciating what they did, you also need to frown on their recent actions, and then move on and forget about this whole thing. They are a thing of the past now. Let's focus on the future of this forum, and try to improve the site in ways they couldn't.

I may have only been here for a little bit of time but I plan to never leave. So I'm in it for the long haul for sure.

I don't see you coming up with a better solution than what has already been laid down.

haha no fucking shit!! I told this to people a year ago when I tried to get some changes around here but no one cared so I fucked off, it still hasent changed, well the T/E/L forums did get merged, I took me 6 monthes of lobbying and it still didnt get done when I left.I figured if they cant merge 3 forums together then it isnt worth my time.

Are you serious? Lobbying to have three forums merged?. The admins like some of the members lead very busy lives and sometimes these changes need to be thought out to make sure they are in the best interest of the entire forum/site. So forums like the camaro and firebird forums chose not be merged and cause the members wanted to remain seperate despite being same car with different body panels. Its not about what you think should be done, its about what is in the best interest of the members (all of them).

Also we are the nazi's who are trying to brainwash everyone, right Joemathews ? but yet your arguing that everyone here are all sheep but yet your sure your argument is the correct one and as you put it this forum sucks real bad but your only reason to keep posting is to what convince everyone your viewpoint is the correct one?. What type of thought process do you think that is?

P.S- I already mentioned in these types of thread I would like you to watch you language. I am not saying you can't use the occassional obscene word but please don't over do it. Like keep dropping the F bomb. Thanks

John

Well considering everyone wanted it, I mentioned it several times in the suggestion forum, and nothing got done. Honestly I dont know why Im back posting again, waste of my time.

Solution? There was no problem. This forum existed fine independent of the random mods from other parts of the site coming in to interfere. Igor had everything he needed. He had a team of a few very experienced guys to answer questions and help the noobs, all of whom used good grammar and clear communication. If that communication occasionally served to discipline naive newbies or to illustrate a point, no big deal. Profanity has never been used in excess on this forum.

Bottom line is that this forum was a great resource, with a wealth of stickies contributed by dedicated members, several of whom are now banned. Do you think I'm going to stick around and answer questions for the noobs now? Not if I'm going to be treated like these mods treated Chris, Jake, and Kris. You can bet that if I were threatened to be banned, I'd try to delete the content I created for the benefit of the site and the people reading it. No one who has contributed that much deserves to be treated the way those guys were.

FormulaLT1, I'd like to see some excerpts of your professionalism in your moderator position, in your dealings with Kris. Post a few of your messages to him, why don't you?

FormulaLT1 · #41 08-12-2005, 11:46 PM

Well like I said the admins lead busy lives and sometimes change takes time but whats the difference as long as the change was made for the better?.

PS- If you can't post correctly without purposely dropping the f bomb just to tick me off I will continue to edit your post til I get tired of it talon and ban you. I understand using the word sometime and in a bantering nature it hurts no one but there is no need to abuse the privilege.

My dealings with a banned member who returned after he was banned just to send me insulting emails, First as I explained to him, I did not contact him threw AF and my email service does not have the same guidelines as AF. I can say or use any language I want outside AF and my language would not be tolerated on AF so therefor I will not allow it to be posted. I did nothing wrong, he contacted me continueing to insult me and telling me I better perm ban him. So I did, while I am not logged into AF I can say or do anything I want. Kris was no longer a part of this community and therefor he asked for the exact treatment he got whipping insults at me. Hope that answers your question and just so everyone is aware this thread that was going smoothly I am sure will be locked soon because of the few that fail to see we are just trying to help

That doesn't make sense.

I am expressing an opinion because I am very upset about how veteran members of this forum, who contributed to putting money in Igor's pocket by attracting and maintaining membership on this site, were treated. Here are my main points.

1) Jake may have engaged in some troublesome business dealings, and I can understand you wanting to take away his moderator status for liability reasons. After that, it would be his decision whether or not to return to the forum. He should not have been banned.

2) Once you make a moderator a moderator, provided he/she has not blatantly allowed a forum to get out of hand (which Chris hadn't), you should not exercise Nazi power over that person by telling him how to do a job you are not paying him to do.

3) Kris illustrated a great point with a funny (albeit somewhat vulgar) metaphor. You banned him on a whim. I've read content 10 times that bad on this site with no consequences.

I'm assuming you all are buddies with Igor, and he lets you do what you want on his site--which is terrible business practice for him. You march in here like you know shit about DSMs, and kick the veteran members out on unsubstantive charges. Best of all, you ask everyone to remain calm and not get upset.

What drugs do you think we're on? This was not necessary. It was a power trip that you hypocrites went on for no apparent reason. Kevin is the last surviving reason I would want to belong to this site, but fortunately for me, I have other ways to contact him by now.

You have to be joking. You can say anything you want to him in an email unassociated with AF, yet when he talks trash back to you, you take a personal vendetta out on him by using AF mod priveleges to ban him.

Congratulations, you win the award for worst logic of the thread.

Thats how I got banned by another "holier than art" moderator, he told me off, so I told him off and I get banned, like is that how this site works? He didnt even know what the hell he was talking about either, lame
