Well majic must've edited it

Yeah, he's been doing that a lot lately. ;)

Youre all bastards! see?I saw a guy with a picture of Mr.T doing it again :D

From this point on let only the intelligent people speak and the idiots be silent. And God did say "Shut thy fucking mouths, in respect, amen". Ass-raping each other through posts is funny, but wrong, but by all means do it. A healthy flame is good for the testoserone. And CS....

Do you mean that in a sense that members in general wouldn't insult Alcar, or that Codek specifically wouldn't? Because I know one or the other is dead-wrong. Do the math.

because Alcar could easily ban him.and sligslinger I think I got the point he wouldnt get banned cos hes so well loved on this forum.....sheesh...

Alcar has the power to ban, yes, but if he doesn't want people to think he's an ass by abusing his powers, he'd simply warn them or join in the fun. Alcar is a big target for this forum's tease, if he truly did ban everyone who insults him, most of the frequent posters would be on parole by now. And no you don't have a valid point, he wouldn't get banned anyway, but with the addition of using Codek's own post as his puppet for humiliation he should be banned. He is afraid that if he insults Codek directly he'll have his comeback shot down and made to look stupid, so he abuses his mod powers to ass-rape Codek's post in order for him to look like he has the upper-hand. It's just a way to compensate for his lack of decency when it comes to a healthy flame.

But hey, banning is a useless punishment for most of us. Staying away from the forums for a week is probly in the user's best interest (or atleast that's how I've heard mods putting it).

So you're saying that the reason I now won't insult Alcar is because he could easily ban me?

Well you're wrong - I've insulted him in the past, and I'll do it again if I feel the need for it. I'm not worried about being banned. The reason I won't insult him now is because I have nothing to insult him about - what I originally thought of him before was wrong.

Now, I think I should make it clear that Majic will probably NOT be in for an easy ride when Alcar discovers that he abused his moderator powers in a last ditch attempt to win an argument. I don't care if Majic gets banned or gets warned - he could die tomorrow, or he could win the lottery, either way I would feel nothing for him. But I would rather he at least realises (through one way or another) that his moment of childish stupidity didn't make him as big or clever as he obviously thought he was at the time. So make sure you let him and others know just how you feel about what he did.

This potentially brilliant forum doesn't need immature moderators who can't handle a situation without aggrivating it. It doesn't need immature moderators who consider it a good course of action to rape someone's post. What it needs (in my humble opinion) is people don't act on agendas, grudges, and emotions - but instead people who react on fairness and rules, and people who can empathise with both sides of an argument, and draw it to a conclusion peacefully.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I've had enough of these stupid postwars that end in conflict with the moderator because he doesn't know how to do his job properly. I've had enough of the blatant lack of empathy and respect for peoples views - I've had enough of the lack of thinking before posting. I've had enough of the poor identification of problems in the running of this forum.

This forum could potentially be GREAT if we just change the morally slack attitude among posters and moderators. The rules might as well not exist for the amount of effort people put into following them - and apparantly there are no rules for the moderators to follow either. What's to stop a moderator from messing things up? Nobody can point it out as there are no clear guidelines for what the moderators are and aren't allowed to do.

Why can't we change all this and realise our potential? It sickens me to see so many talented and intelligent people who's skills are being neglected when they could so easily be harnessed for the better of OWF.

hmmz..well youre right there,but as I said ''I think we have gotten over the point that codek is a well loved-member and wouldnt be banned anyway''.He could still ban people were not necessarilly big chums with cos noone would care would they?Why are you looking at me like that :D ? EDIT ?: just saw codek's post.Well yeah he could do that.Obviosly hes not a control freak.I dont mind laughs now and then but if you make jokes/insults that nazi thing which majic done would've been too far.Abusing mod powers is sad,I am a mod to some forums...Have I done it sometiems for a joke?Yes Would I use it for an arguement? Hell no.people who do it in arguements want to be right and are control freaks

To be honest, outside of the post rape, I don't recall any other time I've ever really used my mighty moderator powers of doom for anything outside of wholesome niceness. As a mod, have I ever gone around and royally screwed things up? Sure, I'm not a clean cut staff representative. But I'd consider myself far from abusive or evil. Merely, you need to humble yourself a bit. The forum won't turn into dust without constant attempts to better it. The rules have pretty much gone unchanged for years. New generation members are always replacing old ones. People always like the "good old days". Let things flow, man, flow like the bitter sweet wind.

Learn to resist and argument, chap. I messed up here. I have a grudge against you from back in your wage-the-war-against-the-nazi-admin days. Surely, though, my reaction was as over dramatized as yours? Just try to get out of your superman mindset. Don't argue. Don't take things so seriously. See if it's really that bad to sit around, post, leave and come back later without popping off negative thoughts. Your ability to coherently display opinions, no matter how odd the logic may be, shows you are an intelligent enough, comprehending being.

Remember that this is just a forum.

And the post rape was still darn funny. To me, at least.

Yep, you most certainly did.

I really don't give a shit what your half baked reasons and excuses are, you fucked up, that's what REALLY counts.

You had a hissy fit because I don't like you and the way you're such an idealist prick. Constantly telling people what to do and how to do it. I'll express myself how I want to thankyou very much, and not how someone 7 years younger than me wants.

Perhaps you should be telling yourself that. Perhaps you should also remind yourself that you are a moderator, and have responsibilities.

That, I think, is just pathetic. That you would find it funny to edit my post to make it look like I said something that I didn't - then discover it was a totally and utterly stupid thing to do, and THEN still find it funny.

Oh tee hee, that's so mature and intelligent.

Jee, I bet it must've taken you ages to think up something so original and effective. You chose probably one of the only tricks in the book which comes around and bites you in the ass, and tried it out on a long standing and well respected member. Yeah, fucking hilarious Apestein.

Wow. I try to be somewhat friendly and apologize, yet you still seem to be so narrow minded as to completely ignore what I said. Surely if Oddguy, Al The Vykker, Searex, or some other reasonably down to earth person had told you to chill down a bit you would have. Apparently, you're hell bent enough against me to refuse a bit of friendly advice. Really, I would've expected you to have cooled down from this a bit.

And yes, I am a moderator. And I do have responsibilities. And I fell I do them well.

Unbelievable!

You dedicate all of 4 words admitting to your mistake. There is not one single sorry or apology in there. You spend the rest of the post telling me all about how fucking wrong I am and how great and right you are.

I can't beleive you've got the nerve to come back at me with THIS bullshit and tell ME that I'm the one who's narrow minded, completely ignoring you, and generally getting things wrong.

Jesus. You're fucking stupid.

You know, I could read this all day, but then I'd have to shoot myself for being stupid enough to pay attention to you two morons.

Oh gosh, your opinion means so much to me that I'm now going to take your trollish bait and wage an epic battle of feelings and emotions in a fruitess attempt to win back your respect.

Hmm, on second thought, maybe not...

Simply, I cannot think of an adaquet response. You've proven yourself incapabale of taking things as they are, without first warping the situation in your own head. So, good day to you chap. Let's let some other people have a go at us for a while, shall we? It's quite selfish for us to hog allthe pixels ourselves.

Listen Codek (DeathReese), I'm not going to spend as much time on you as anyone else has. I've always treated you with at least a little bit of dignity by leaving you alone when you went apeshit for no reason. When I started a "coming-back" thread in this very subforum, you randomly called me an idiot for no reason. Now, how can you condemn me for using "trollish bait" when, the first time I ever layed eyes on your pathetic cyber-name, you did the exact same thing? I don't like hypocrites, Codek. You're a hypocrite. You have no capacity for reason. You're a pretentious, whiny, sadistic, and controlling little asswipe. People like you make the world dumb all over, and you, young sir, are the embodiment of a living turd.

Blah, blah, old hat.

Go find some friends Joe, nobody cares.

Codek, stop whining like a little bitch.

Majic made several valuable points. And if abuse of our 'powers' bothers you so much, why haven't you complained about me?

Seriously, this is just a message board. There's no need for little mini-vendettas against other members.

Everyone needs to lighten the fuck up already. What Majic did was funny, and you know it. Had he or I done it to any of the other members, you would have laughed, or atleast done your part in mocking them.

Jesus.

guys... Guys!... GUYS!

There is a saying.... used on another of my forums where I fel slightly more welcome than a fart in a space suit (unlike here! :( )

*ahem*

"DO NOT FEED THE TROLL"

This is used when we get some tit registering and being a God damn tw*t... a true troll... or if indeed a long standing member a buddy goes on a rampage and freaks out... carried along with the insults and sniping!

Its no big deal but you've gotta step back and IGNORE! (Best course of action with me too when I loose it! :blush: )

So *CB picks up loudhailer* DO NOT FEED THE TROLL! m'kay? :kiss:
And also I second that, third and fourth it... but with a tad less agression!

*whimpers and cries*

Wow, it's really amazing how a simple goodbye thread can turn into crap. I've spoken to Majic, and really don't see any reason to demote him. Yeah, he shouldn't have done it, but one smudge against his stellar report card still requires a microscope to see it.

I'd also like to mention, that out of all the Moderators, Majic was the only one to actually voice his opinions based on the OWF - TGA Split without sugar coating it, or taking sides, to profit out of it. He told me to my face I was an asshole, and I love him for it *love hearts*

Alcar...

wow......this topic should be renamed........"what makes forum members tick"

see how quickly everyone forgot about nads.

*shrug*

No offense but this an awful lot like an organised effort to get me to take the heat of Majic.

I'll bet there is a lot of behind the scenes PMing that you really would prefer I didn't see.

*sigh* I dunno. What to do with you lot, really?

Mental reconditioning would be a start. :D

Stop. Just stop.

Rather than admitting you were out of line and acting irrationally, you resort to making some vague comment about how there's some secret society of codek-haters who want to bring you down. Down to china town.

china town?.......lets take him all the way down to downtown..........

dude seriously though why cant you people get over it?

Okay, okay... Chill everyone... This needs no more replies. We've gone off topic massively. If any of you have any major complaints concerning this, PM me. How about you just PM me anyway, I need the satisfaction of attention ;)

*closes*

Oh, and goodbye nads.

Alcar...
