Probably missed it. Also explains the difference between ordinary spam and Temple Spam. But hey! Why would we read other threads.. let's just not do that and make crazy comments on the level of someone's English instead.
Mature, VERY mature. I thought you were the bigger man in this situation?
Need me to quote myself, maybe that clears the dense fog a little?
As for how you consider spam, that isn't relevant. If you think all spam is rubbish, DUMP it all. Don't toss it into the Temple. And if you think the Temple is such garbage, don't come there. If you hate people, you don't walk out into a marketplace shooting everyone up, do you? I thought not.
What is it with not even trying to understand these days.
Sorry if I'm not aware of other threads that you may have written - my psychic ability seems to be a little below par recently. I have now, however, looked for this thread and would be grateful if you could point it out to me as I'd genuinely like to read it, but can't find it.
As for commenting on your level of English - I didn't - I suggested that trying to combine mathematics with English, in a forum in which a number of people have difficulty reading, writing and understanding English simply exaggerates the problem because it makes for bad English:
Wolf359 wrote:And what's this = Fail rubbish? Seriously - sometimes some people on here have a hard enough time understanding English - others have a hard enough time writing so they can be understood - so let's not complicate the issue by adding mathematical symbols and words that when read together makes for extremely bad English.
Where exactly is that not suggesting that combining mathematics and English isn't a good idea and is actually criticising your level of English?
Nor am I the one who is getting personal with comments like 'I thought you were the bigger man' and 'shall I quote myself, maybe that clears the dense fog a little?' - so don't even try and play the maturity card.
If you took it personally, it was not meant that way - if you can't accept that then take it through the ombudsman, that's what he's for. You'll find me much more receptive doing it that way, or to me directly via pm. Everyone knows my position on arguing with mods over modding/mod comments publicly - I am far less receptive than I would be if it was conducted with a lot more courtesy and/or dignity.
And yes - I do feel all spam is garbage (some people like it, but I don't - that's just me and my opinion - and as a mod over the last couple of years I've seen it cause more arguments than enough) - and I'm quite happy to move what I feel is spam directly to the dump as you suggest - however, if I did that I'm pretty sure there'd be more complaints. I actually do my level best to avoid it completely - it's the one area of modding I'm not happy/comfortable with, because what might be spam/garbage to one person is not to another (evidently, due to the existence of this thread) - and it is one area of modding I am happy to leave to other people.
(And no - you cheeky monkey's - it isn't a challenge!!
)Also, I feel I must point out that this indirectly came from the fact that you misquoted me as suggesting people had said Nimras isn't doing his job, when in fact what I was pointing out was that he is doing his job, and that he happened to make a mistake - I was using a rhetorical question to emphasise the point.
Auriel wrote:Has anyone who can be taken serious said Nimras isn't doing his job? No.
Suggesting that anyone did = Fail.
Now you may say you weren't directly answering me (as you didn't actually quote me), but up until that point I was the only one who had said anything about Nimras 'not doing his job' - and that was as a rhetorical question to make a point - so naturally I feel it was aimed at me. If I am wrong - then I am sorry.
