Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2004 I think reopening registrations was one of the dumbest moves made around here in a while. I don't mean that to be a dick, but honestly, is this what you guys had in mind when you said new posters would freshen things up? I thought glennsoe was bad in the WWE folder, but this other new guy is starting a fresh thread for every minor tidbit that has WWE's name attached to it. I thought that was something that was going to be worked on to eventually be phased out. Or did I just imagine that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dids Report post Posted April 22, 2004 They gave up on that idea... The problem is that the only people who are going to notice that Reg has been made available are the trolls anyway. It's going to take months before new decent posters get brought in, and I'm not sure the single-to-noise ratio will make it worth it anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted April 22, 2004 Since BNW isn't hopping I can help clean-up/"Fix" the WWE folder. Its really not that difficult a problem. Sass or Tom can PM me about it if interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted April 23, 2004 I'm not going to be an admin for long. More tech support shit. Downside of being friends with mods who aren't computer savvy hehe I don't mind though. Basically I'm a janitor again tonight...although I prefer to be called a Maintenance Engineer.

Guest Bottled Black Report post Posted April 23, 2004 What are we cleaning up today Frigid? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted April 23, 2004 Mainly other troll and dummy accounts through a system of checks. That's all I can really say, I'm sorry. Gotta uphold the trust given to me...but if there's a problem with the board I can fix it tonight(as long as its within reason). I doubt I'll be posting much more tonight because of this. Also with BBCW I just want you to know, even if hell froze over and I became a permanent mod/admin/whatever I would never ban somebody for pissing me off. I don't advocate that at all and I believe people are free to express themselves so long as they do not break the rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaosrage 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2004 I got it from the poster warriors site, heh. "Xenophobe is usually a long-term discussion forum participant and he thinks of the forum as his private compound. Xenophobe regards newbies to his forum as mentally deficient and perhaps even having criminal tendencies, and they are invariably approached with suspicion and condescension. If a Newbie has the temerity to make critical observations about the forum's social dynamics, or questions prevailing opinion, Xenophobe will attempt to silence or drive out the newcomer.

justsoyouknow 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 How many trolls and gimmick posters have popped up since we've reopened registrations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Banders Kennany Report post Posted April 27, 2004 I believe only Lemmycake and he was of very high quality. This "no gimmicks posters" rule has already taken Abobo and Lemmycake.....it's not helping the board out at all at least to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Coffey Report post Posted May 13, 2004 I have a question: How come when all of the "new" posters register, they do nothing but make thread after thread instead of just replying to what's already there? I've watched "nikjohns" have to close at least five different threads already. It's like no one has the sense to at least scour page one of the WWE folder.... At least "nikjohns" appears to be doing something...anything at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least "nikjohns" appears to be doing something...anything at all. I concur. Although he's been a TAD too stiff on everyone, he's pretty much the kind of Mod I wanted. Someone with very little tolerance to all and a complete jerk. I applaud whoever made the call to make him one. Stupid threads all the time deserving to be closed.

Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2004 [i applaud whoever made the call to make him one. Stupid threads all the time deserving to be closed. Actually, he asked for it. I was only too happy to oblige him. It's good to see he's done a bang-up job thus far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2004 I feel the opposite way, since Nik is the only person who I've come to actively dislike as a mod. After he's called some of my standard smartass remarks in a WWE thread "flaming", and on top of what I've seen him say to other similar posts/posters, posting in the WWE folder is even less fun now than it was before his ascension to mod status. Whoever made the call to promote him should re-evaluate said decision, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dazed Report post Posted May 14, 2004 And what was your mature, considered, and well reasoned response to me? "Fuck off" were your exact and only words.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted May 14, 2004 nik can't ban anyone, so chill out. If he runs the WWE folder with an iron truncheon, good. Maybe then at least the complaints about it will cease due to fear of retribution. Vince McMahon is like hitler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2004 I am chilled out. I am also aware Nik can't ban, hence why I was really laughing when I read his PM and laughing even more to my shortened response to him. Really, if what I said was "flaming" (making a sarcastic off-topic response), then 75% of this board is comprised of flamers. Some of the best shit ever on this board has come from knocking a horrendous topic into some other better subject. My main point here is that I think it's laughable for anyone to suggest that Nik is a good mod. He has demonstrated that he has a huge stick up his ass that would even make DrTom cringe. Seriously though, even though Tom and I have had problems in the past, I've seen that he's damn smart and can back up his shit, even when I disagree with it. I see no such redeemable factor from Nik being a mod, however. You wanted your intelligent response? Here you go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
