THE FACTIONS!

[~Zekk~]

how about we compromise? reinstate the factions in a more alliance/guild type factiony thing, instead of the forced religion/standerd styles it used to be? that way even spam wars and the old skool spam RPGing can make a come back while leaving it optional to the newbies and the neos or anyone else that dont wanna join

there, win/win.

Spacey, look again at who's causing the trouble, it's not one of mine, he's an outsider, and was never really a part of our community. Please do not judge the whole, by the few.

Jack, first of all nobody is "one of yours", which is exactly what I mean when I talk about how you try to act like a dictator or god.

Secondly, I may not be part of YOUR community which consists of you and osi, however I am a part of the SPAM community. So please, as you so simply put it in a different thread.

Stop posting, walk away, don't make yourself look any more foolish.

[Londo Mollari]

must say i agree with Zekk as well

the factions should remain in a lesser capacity

[Solus]

lol yes... my problem with the situation was the attitudes of the 'gods'. I have no problem with the factions, so this is a good compromise. good going zekk

I'm not going to explain that(my use of the term "my spammers") to you, Alex. Why? Because it's beyond your comprehension. However should there actually be someone else that would like me to explain it to them, then they're free to PM me and ask.

As for the community, it includes everyone in the Temple, but you yourself have always chosen not to be a part of it, it was your choice to oppose us, it's your choice to continue opposing us, don't whine when you're looked at as an outsider.

You're missing a lot of the bigger picture, I suspect that you've only been talking to Alex on the matter, and most of what he says is lies, and or gross exaggerations.


The simple fact is, no one's ever told them they couldn't have factions, we've only ever said they couldn't try and force others to go by their factions. They can't be trying to force people to bow down to them.

I listened to that arguement too Jack.

Some have said that the objective was never to rule anyone, that that was a mistake of a few people, but that point is ignored and the arguement is still used.

As someone once told me: "the bottom line is that.." there are problems with people working productively to come to a resolution in this.

Like I said, you don't know the whole story, if you did you'd feel differently.

Of course I agree with Zekks.

Unfortuanitly jack, contradictory to what you say, "your spammers" which they aren't, they aren't anyones spammers. Now you sit and call me some sort of dictator yet here you are trying to call everyone in the spam community yours.

Secondly every spammer is a member of the community, just because you, osi, and velya see me as an outsider means nothing. The only difference is I have the manners not to post my thoughts on you.

Now, finally I've noticed that whenever I prove you wrong or show your contradictions to yourself your always respond the same by saying "It's beyond your comprehension" and such, if you really knew anything you would be able to respond and not get so defensive and lash out with E-words that hurt people's e-feelings.

I might side with Jack on this just cause Alex would be on the other side....

[hidden]

I already stated this, but it seem like it needs to be done again. My official stance:

Any members participating in a spam war, outside of the temple, will receive suspensions or bans.

Many people comment about how spammers have their own community, or want one aside from the main areas and the existing temple. If this is true then there should be no desire/need/valid reason to move issues related strictly to spammers, outside of their area.

because if its in the area i would turn it into a 100 page spam fest or it would reach page 20 in 2 days

spam temple is for spam this and that is for serious stuff and this applys

for instance the 3 word thread people have to play by the rules in here but if it was in the spam temple it could turn into a discussion about mustard

also jack its become pretty clear that when you say its beyond alex's comprehension you actually mean you've got nothing

[Alex]

FIrst of all Jack, I understand more then you give me credit for. Oh well though, thats just you.


I agree with hidden, it seems you say others have low comprehension, however whenever something is thrown back into your face, and you don't know how to react you play the "I don't have to explain myself to you" card.

I understand what your saying Jack, the problem is you aren't proving any points. Everything you've said about me; causing the problems, and being an outsider are random, to say the least.

Besides all of that Jack, here you call me an outsider, that I try to dictate the forums and force the factions on others... Yet here YOU are in a thread that has NOTHING to do with YOU, and here YOU are trying to dicatate what WE do as though your opinion has merit.

Now Jack, I hope you will realize that this isn't a Jack come flame us thread, its a news article, end of conversation.

Although I'm sure you'll come back and post trying to prove me wrong, just because on both the forums and MSN you always have to try and have the last word. Well, have it and be done with it.

[Ash]

I'll say this simply

Im a Neo yes.
To me that means being able to post what you want when you want and how you want, within the rules of the temple. if i wanna answer a post with smiley i'll do so, if i wanna go off on a tangent or into some random direction guess what i'll do that too.

The temple is not a waste basket, the dump is, thats why its called the dump. Its where i come to have a little fun after work, and to talk to ppl that i like to talk to. Heck i have even agreed with Osi in a few random conversations, and he if no one else's personality grinded against mine.

Sadly though Alex, you ignite , annoy and seem to do your best to piss off those around you, now this might be because your still a youngling, or just your attitude.

mind you this is all my opinion and, you'll likely blow it off, but no im not flaming you, just stating how i see things.

Jack is the most active elder spammer, as well as ombudsman's. he is the medium between spammer and mod, the chosen representative of the forum users and spammers.

this thread has everything to do with him.

and more then that, you are an outsider. you almost never spam, and thus arent recognized as an active spammer here anymore.

plus, this thread is about three third faction members, two of which are inactive spammers, declaring the reinstatement of the factions. theres a few problems with this.

first, you guys had no authority to disband all factions in the first place, they stay'ed just fine as defined styles after that. so reinstateing it is pointless.

second, this is more like declaring the come back of the old factions, which dictated the temple(s) and cuased alot of wars.

so far, it seems you guys are playing dictator on a stage in front of an empty crowed.

finally, cant we all just get along? im tired hot and horny, and ive already given my best idea on this subject. next comes the temper...or wait, i already gave some of that this post... oh well.

lol, first of all OSI was the only one trying to disband any of the factions. If you really had ANY of the facts you would know that.

Second, you are assuming that his only encomposes third faction spammers. In that assumption you would in fact be wrong.

Third, I may be looked on as an outsider by you, Jack and his 2 friends that make up his band of merry tavelers, however you should know zekk that a few peoples opinions don't make fact. Especially when there are plenty of others that don't see it that way.

As for being as you say the chosen rep. for the spammers there are little results. He will argue to the contrary but when you look at it, there simply arn't any improvments. Once more what if any improvments that are made by him are done with his intrests, not that of any of the faction spammers.

So I say again this DOESN'T concern him or you. Finally I would like to just point out how amusing it is for YOU to call me a dictator in defence of Jack, when here jack is in this very thread trying to dictate what we do.

[~Zekk~]

Me loves Zekks.


I completely agree with Zekks, that's my final thought on the matter.


*runs off to cuddle with Zekks*

*adds jack to his list and cuddles him ecchily*

now, here comes the headache...

osi or not. its still all third faction members involved. you guys made a thread saying you disbanned the third faction, it was ignored, and now your trying to reinstate something that never really left. guess what, it makes you all look like blind fools.

Third, I may be looked on as an outsider by you, Jack and his 2 friends that make up his band of merry tavelers, however you should know zekk that a few peoples opinions don't make fact. Especially when there are plenty of others that don't see it that way.

a few peoples opinion? we say what we say because were some of the few that remember you. your a part time spammer at best, yet here you are trying to do things that only a full time active spammer should be doing.

As for being as you say the chosen rep. for the spammers there are little results. He will argue to the contrary but when you look at it, there simply arn't any improvments. Once more what if any improvments that are made by him are done with his intrests, not that of any of the faction spammers.

they're have been plenty of changes, one of the major of which being the stoping of temple nukeings. did you think the mods were just lazy in deleting threads lately?

So I say again this DOESN'T concern him or you. Finally I would like to just point out how amusing it is for YOU to call me a dictator in defence of Jack, when here jack is in this very thread trying to dictate what we do.

this concerns everyone, especially me as vice commander of the fourth faction. by saying that it doesnt concern me or jack or anyone else, it shows that your trying to single people out and dictate how things work.

jack isn't a dictator, he's a leader that helps keep the temple running on the border of rules and spammer desire. and there's noone in the temple that could do it better then him, no matter what you say or think.

[hidden]

thats possible zekk but well i kinda hate jack so there

[Londo Mollari]

out of interest how would we define an active spammer, and for that matter a spammer as being "part of the community"

if people are going to continue to say "your not part of the community so you don't count blah blah blah", i would like a definition of what we all consider to be the roles and responsibilities of a community member?

You didn't direct this to me but I want to answer. I make no distinction with someone being active or not. The community for me consists of forum members, and if you have an account you are one of them. That is what being "part of the community" is about for me.

I'd not like to define "active spammer". What we have seen here is that it's an exclusionary term, and if anyone remembers my veto of posting youtube links because some spammers couldn't see them, a goal of my is for greater unity and inclusion amongst spammers.

So, I haven't defined 'active spammer' or the roles and responsibilities, but spoke to the community part.



Alex, I waited around for you on msn, but you didn't show. If you could pm me with what you thought about I can think on it and forward it for discussion.
