View Full Version : For Fuck's Sake!

Okay, can I make a plea here. Can you please NOT delete my posts and lock my threads?

I have been VERY good, all things considered, about not taking things here that RW obviously doesn't want here. I have followed the forum guidelines to a T. I am not, despite how I am sure others see it, out to get RW, and certainly not out to defile this website.

Why on earth do you continue to fuck with me? I'm not doing anything more than being perfectly reasonable here, am I not? I'm asking questions. If you WANT me to start getting irrate and abusive, I certainly can, but that's not my intent.

To say that the thread itself should not be seen by anybody or discussed at all is horseshit. I thought Strider was being perfectly reasonable, it was a good show on ea's part of admitting a knee-jerk reaction, but even beyond that if we are not allowed to post midis or talk about how the site is run, isn't that something that should be KNOWN? I understand why the admin-admin discussion might be moved to 51, but for the umpteenth time, I am not a fucking admin here. I thought somebody was being treated unfairly, and I posted perfectly reasonable discourse to that. It has been perfectly acceptable for people to post about how say RW is being treated unfairly, but everytime somebody dissents, they get locked, deleted, and banned? That's fucked up man. If I would have posted a thread thanking EA for banning Goatboy, would that have been moved to Area 51? If I would have posted about how I thought the refugees in Australia were being mistreated, would I get those threads deleted? If I back the wrong horse in general, am I in danger of losing what I spend time writing?

All I ask for is consistency and fairness. It is not being shown here on the part of whoever keeps locking, moving, and deleting my posts.

And from the other thread:

I see we need a "admin on duty" sign around here.
The point of multiple admins is to keep one from doing something stupid permenantly.

That's the stupidest fucking thing I've heard yet. I undestand what you are trying to say and respect that you don't want a Stile, but are you saying this is somehow different? Is there not a final word here as well? Is the point of administration of a website to keep the ADMINISTRATORS in check? To have admin wars all over the forum because you have a dozen people on different wavelenghts? To have the right hand never know what the left hand is doing?

Alright, I'm going to stop now, I'm pissed and don't want to cross any more invisible lines that I'm supposed to spontaneously know about.

Thank you paintchips for posting you opinion.

It was well thought out and well said.

And I told you it was handled.

Is there something else you wanna talk about?

Cause I've never had to preforme 2 admin duties in one night...and I need to get to bed.

Note: the "admin on duty" sign is so you know who to direct questions like these to.
Feel free to PM if you need any info. I'll find out as soon as possible and get back to you. http://www.thehypertribe.net/ubb/smile.gif

There appear to be 5 or 6 admins on duty, all performing contradictory functions, if you want my opinion.

And don't patronize me.

Feck. Sorry. I'm still sort of pissed, and probably posting out of anger. I've got to go smoke or something.

Heh. Cheers.

I know that it's not an "admin on duty" sign or anything but it is there for a reason. I take a very hands off approach and let things develop as they may. Its got my e-mail address which I check quite often. I never claim to be in control or have more power than anyone, but I handle the responsibility that I was given and I enjoy it. It is there.... use it.

I've got no problem explaining my actions, so here it goes:

Though you haven't missed my point altogether, you have sort of missed its intended direction. I didn't mean that it should have never happened, but that it shouldn't have been started by EA. It should (if it were going to happen) have been started by someone else. It should not have happened the way that it did, therefore it was cut out before it could develop into a malignant cancer. I moved it to Area51 because of the way it looked to be develloping and may have develloped. As far as it being discussed, I could care less. I really wish that I could have left it as there were some valid points, etc. -however (appears to be my favorite word tonight) - it was done wrong and in questionable taste, so it was moved. Feel free to discuss your woes and disagreements to your heart's content, by all means. It was opened by an admin and appeared opinionated. Therefore, to keep it from evolving into an unintelligable ball of "horseshit", it was moved.

I locked your thread again because it was locked when I was trying to reply.

As far as midis, talk about how the site is run, etc... I'm unaware of such rules. I know of no rule that says that you cannot put a midi in YOUR post (but we do ask that you make it small and dialup friendly for our dialup users), nor am I aware of any that say that you can't talk about how the site is run. Feel free as far as I'm concerned, and if I'm wrong, I'm sure that I will soon be corrected.

Personal slights regarding one's personal, real life are not invited (I'm pretty sure...if not...I'll be corrected) for they are real life and none of anyone's business. Spewing blind hatred is also frowned upon, and yes...open stupidity. Posting intelligently is one of the only requirements here that I can think of. If you wish to discuss any of what I just said with me, I request - please - that you either come to irc or pm me. Irc will be quicker though.

Furthermore, under these circumstances, I think that it would be ok to give you access to area51 so that you can continue your side/argument with any of the admins regarding the original topic or to somewhat file a complaint. If any admin feels this is unjust or unfair, talk to me in chat or in private message. Anyone without access to area51, feel free to do the same with either irc or pm. I'm sure that if I've done anything wrong, I will be clubbed, smacked, "curbstomped", spanked, and summarilly beaten and sent to my room.

Strider, an amazingly reasonable and fair reply, that. I thank you. I apologize for getting a bit belligerant.

No problem, mate. You had fair argument, no question there. However, it was a damned if I/we do and damned if I/we don't. I didn't really see any of what you said to be belligerant at all, so no apology necessary. I understand where you are and were coming from. I just hope that everything can pick up and carry on. If there are still issues, then hopefully there are these avenues for further discussion for everyone involved.
