Re: Rants

I wanna rant about a lot of things.

1. The rules.. half of them are POINTLESS!!!
2. Bannings, bannings should be only for posting porn, links to porn, links to websites that are solely designed for making money through scamming.
3. No Wolf359 - He should be dragged back here and tied to a computer.. :D That would be a good day :D
Back in my day, we massed you for disrespect!

Re: Rants

and about shaitan posting while etl is banned... that is an act of bypassing a ban, and usually ends with longterm ban or permaban...

Re: Rants

What's amazing is you lot go on like this could be some sort of huge ploy to get people to go to a different forum to talk instead on here, yet you all complain that modding takes up so much of your time, yet you complain that people won't be here to be modded...

You want to mod, but you want to complain about modding?

Re: Rants

or maybe we're not all mixed up and delusional.


Perhaps it is merely that some mods wish they were no longer mods but arn't brilliant enough to realize they should step down.

Others who love modding see this as a ploy to lure good honest folk to the darkside that is an omega run forum.

While still others arn't really paying attention to politics and just keep modding as per normal.


And you're bundling the whole group up and saying that every single one of us is doing all three.

Silly rabbit, tricks are for kids!

Re: Rants

There's no point in dragging people away, or luring, although we've told no lies about what the mods have done, and we still claim there are some good mods Rienna :)

But, somebody, stepped over the line, and now some of us are annoyed, sort out the fact that some mods are making up rules, giving different warning for the same rule, giving more that one warning for one post, lying, covering things up, getting stoned and banning people and generally just being rubbish.

now now.. there isn't ALWAYS something wrong with being stoned. It's if you get stoned and act irresponsibly. Hell, it's just the irresponsibility part, really.

er... don't get stoned, however! This is a public service announcement brought to you by... me... : Pot Is Bad.


That said, I agree with the rest of what you said, Jake, 100%. I was away when Rhett got banned, as other people can attest to, I've been trying to figure out what's been going on since. Not that I have any power to change it, but I'd still like to know the truth, even if only just for me (and all my friends....)

I can't deny it. When the shipment arrived from my supplier (REK), there was a small bottle of tablets marked <strike>Viagra</strike>TicTacs, a pair of leather chaps, a ball gag, a copy of his itinerary showing a flight to Atlanta the next day, and a request to pick him up at the airport.

I did think it was a bit odd that he signed the packing slip "Hot buttery kisses, REK" but I didn't think anything else about it.

Re: Rants

Okay, I posted this in another thread and hope I don't get warned for reposting it here but the original thread I posted in and this seem to go hand in hand so here goes:

I think that the community needs to take a step back.

If someone, who is not a mod, steps up and points out something the mods should not get offended or cry out about their toes getting stepped on but the members should not just ignore a person for not being a mod.

We are all here for the same reason, we enjoy the game, the company of the people here, discussing things of various nature on the many boards here and generally have a similar interest at heart.

We used to have at least some form of basic respect for one another around here but it seems that more and more often people wish to simply point fingers at one another and yell the it is not their fault that things are going badly, well, I say that everyone here is responsible, the admins, mods, members, myself, all of us.

Why?

Because everyone claims to have the best intentions in mind and at heart for the community.

Telling members that the rules state to respect one another does nothing to help anyone, you will either respect those around you or you won't, plain and simple.

The best we can hope for with the wide variety of people from around the world that congregate on this forum is a basic sense of decency.

I admit that in the past I have had my problems with adhering to some of what I say here but we all have bad times in our lives when we feel like everything is going down hill but we recover and move on, we just need to try to work together as a Community to make things better rather than complaining about the people that made this forum for us to greet and meet up on.

The responsibility lies not with the admins or the mods but with everyone that comes here.

How should selections go?
The way they used to, nominations and votes.
If the teams want more control over who they are working with then have the nominations selected by the teams and then voted for by the community but no matter who gets the jobs the fact is that if the people here do not want to make an effort to control the flow of crap on this forum then it will only get worse as time goes on.

Thanks for reading my rant,
Acronon
