Guest BifEverchad Report post Posted September 9, 2002 Man, I don't know why anyone here would want to be a mod. More trouble then it's worth, if you ask me. True dat treble, you hafta put up with a ton of shit from a bunch of jackasses who clog up the board with senseless bullshit. Then you have another bunch that complain about the others who got banned, when they only know half or none of the story.. meh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted September 9, 2002 I take that back... the main problem is trying to make the board a better place...when so many people are only here to complain about it in the first place. They are called lives people, check into them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AlwaysPissedOff Report post Posted September 9, 2002 I also got PMs from a few more people complaining, so that's why I moved the thread. It was never deleted or if it was(I haven't checked), it wasn't me. And it sounded like you were accusing me of banning him which is why I responded the way I did.

Guest B-X Report post Posted September 9, 2002 ::ahem:: I didnt accuse him of banning the dude.. or deleting the thread. When i refered to "you", I was refering to the mods at this board. I did accuse APO of being way too quick to jump on certain posters however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted September 9, 2002 Congrats APO, You have inherited my spot as the mod people think are too rash...despite not banning people for little things. Boy...am I ever glad that's off my head. :blames APO: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LooseCannon Report post Posted September 9, 2002 I certainly understand that the mods are in a tough position when they have 12 people asking for someone's banning, and then they get another 12 people pissed over the banning. But fuck it, you signed up for the job for reasons I could never understand, and you know you won't make everyone happy. All that said, I'm in the "lighten up camp." I think ya'll have been too ban happy lately. Of course, I know my opinion doesn't mean shit in the matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest B-X Report post Posted September 9, 2002 Have you guys ever visited the EWR board? I have never in my life seen so many fucking morons jump on every single newbie that asks a question. They call them "dumbasses", "newb", "fucking retards", and other nice things about these guys. It's elitism at its absolute worst. They got this way because the mods are WAY too willing to ban people for even the stupidest shit. I've seen guys banned for asking about a certain guys stats. And the mods are way too willing to cave in to the demands of every Johnny Bumfuck who posts there. And the assholes are taking advantage of the fact. Just don't want to see that happen here. Thats my main concern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AlwaysPissedOff Report post Posted September 9, 2002 Well, the only people who've been banned have been the various usernames of Smarkzone and PerfectPlex and they DID deserve it. With Razor/UltimatePoster, that was Tom's decision(hell, I don't even know what he got banned for in the first place) and he didn't help his case by coming back and using the "Nazi" bit.

Guest B-X Report post Posted September 9, 2002 Noo.. I know a lot more people have been banned here. I KNOW IT. You can't tell me that all 20-something bannings you did have been various incarnations of Smarkzone. You don't even account for the WDI guys. EDIT: It has come to my attention that the list of banned names is more like 170-180 names. Impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted September 9, 2002 What WDI guys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted September 9, 2002 And yes...most of the posters that were banned lasted less than ten posts...and were all smarkzone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted September 9, 2002 Billybump the name was banned. Not the IPs. Everyone who used the name BillyBump is able to post today. Dames banned the name BillyBump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted September 9, 2002 I see 52 names in the ban filter. some of which are variations of names like fierro owns or fierra_owns, or Billy bump and Billybump. And many of which are Smarkzone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest B-X Report post Posted September 9, 2002 Hmm.. I got 170-80 from someone.. I'm not sure its correct, I just assumed. In any case, I don't even know why I am arguing anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DeputyHawk Report post Posted September 9, 2002 why was the warrior thread deleted? i have a morbid curiosity to read it now after all this controversy and hoo-ha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted September 9, 2002 why was the warrior thread deleted? Because I got a few complaints about it, recognized it as the useless excercise in trolling bullshit that it was, and zapped it. See, people, when you ask like an adult, you get an answer. I banned the latest iteration of Smarkzone, RazorxEDGE. He returned twice after that and was axed again both times. I don't know how many people have been banned, but even if it IS 180, what does that mean? Is a board that only banned 18 better? Considering that half the people who are banned find a way to come back and troll some more, the number of actual *people* banned (as opposed to usernames) is much lower. I think the moderating team does a thankless job pretty well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
