.::Un-Democracy::.
 
Well this is a kind of seccond version, since that ''timetravel forum'' thing, but meh.

Rules are simple: If you think that Your thread had been closed without any good and explained reason, and you want all that to be in public (If you don't want to use PM) this is thread for you!!!

Let the firebrust begins!!!
{seriously, please do not spam and start an argue, 'cause we (well... unleass I) do not want to give to the moderators a reason for closing this topic}

SeaRex 09-01-2006 08:08 AM

A recap: Bring it.

Dusan 09-01-2006 08:11 AM

''recap''
a?

Rich 09-01-2006 09:26 AM

It means to review what has been said, and basically, we said: Bring it.

We are right. PM us if you disagree. :p

Rex Tirano 09-01-2006 10:13 AM

I have nothing new to say. I agree with the term "bring it".

Mods are humans, we all make mistakes.

I don't think there should be a thread for this, it should be dealt with in PMs.

Primus inter pares 09-01-2006 10:28 AM

Well i have sent a P.M. to Alcar but i have not getted any answer yet, so i will write it here.
Havoc have closed my "you know you are a mudukon when" topic, his explanation was that i maked it wrong.
I cannot see how i maked it wrong, but i think that it is because i attack Havoc back in my faith topic without the poll, and which is closed.

Rex Tirano 09-01-2006 10:33 AM

Well then, technically, you need to PM Havoc. As he closed your thread, he will [I'm sure] then explain his reasons in detail.

You heard what Primus said, Alcar Ignored him, and the poent of this thread is to make you ''hear'' us. DO NOT USE PM. USE THIS THREAD!

I have few suggestions:

It's anbout a:
1) ''jerking off'' thread
2) ''look back at my stupidness (or something)'' thread
_____________________________________________
1) This thread was good (because it was the first and the last sexual thread in this forum) wich was closed because it was revived? That is stupid. And whole ''do not revive'' rule is stupid. NOW CHANGE THAT!!!

2) This one was closed with this explanation: ''and this thread is one of them (of of thread-maker's stupidness)''. That thread could evolve in something bigger, and the moderator's chance to show how funny he can be, isn't a good reason for closing. ALSO FIX THAT!!!

Note: All those threads were closed by Rexy. It's just an accident. Nothing personal.

Rex Tirano 09-01-2006 11:15 AM

Yeah I guessed they would be about me. Let me give public reasons.

I closed the jerking off thread because I didn't want it to be ruined at the end, because that thread is a "classic" and a legend. Also the post didn't actually help the thread at all.

Also, I thought that Zeikio's thread was just plain stupid [no offence]. But in the last thread she said she wasn't bothered.

And Dusan, Alcar wasn't the one who closed the thread so he wouldn't be able to give reasons for why Havoc did. You should talk to the mod who closed the thread.

In my opinion, I've done nothing wrong. But I'm human and if other people agree with what you're saying Dusan then I'll rethink things when I go to close a thread.

But Dusan, you appear to be more angry about this entire affair than other members.

I know which topic you are referring to and I closed that with good reason. A 'You know you are an X when you do Z' thread is supposed to be funny. The list of things you ut in there were so freaking obvious and everything but funny and it was in my good judgement a pointless topic because of those reasons.
But, like Rexy already pointed out, I never recieved a complaint from you in my inbox, so it's a little late to complain now isn't it?

People, if you have a problem with a moderator just be a man and PM the guy explaining what's wrong. We're not gonna bite your head off for giving us feedback and in most cases you will get a mature and fair answer like the one above.

And like my previous deleted reply to this, we are not going to have a public poll each time a topic needs to be closed. Thats a moderators call and if the CREATOR of the topic disagrees with that, thats between him and the moderator. Other people have NO bussiness at ALL with that, so keep out of it unless you are being asked.

Why? As I said, it's nothing personal, just a coincidence.

:

I'm not angry, and this thread isn't made because I think you aren't doing the job well, I just had that idea. Discussion shouldn't be only between me and the moderators. Other members should participate also. Affair... :p

:

Also, I thought that Zeikio's thread was just plain stupid [no offence]. But in the last thread she said she wasn't bothered.
Well, also as i said, that thread could evolve in something bigger, and that bigger could be: ''Our stupiddest moments in OWF'', and not just ''Hers stupiddest moments in OWF''.

____________________________________
Last sentences from your posts ,Rob, are good. No they are Great. As a metter of fact they are to great to be real. Well I do not know you well, but, I kinda have feel that you would not give that answer to primus if he PM-ed you. I think your answe would be more srcastic, somthing like: ''Shut up'' or ''You where stupid''. Three words, no more. Sometimes I hate spoiled moderators. Thing I hate more then them are members who allways ''aren't bothered''.

Whit this thread I gaved to members an option: They can chosee between public and privet discussion. well I'm sure none will ever post in here, so this thread can pissfyl die.... R.I.P. Democracy... to good to be truth.

Leto 09-01-2006 11:47 PM

I think someone just has a problem with authority. I prescribe you a hefty amount of beefshaking to cure this angst.

Hobo 09-02-2006 10:58 AM

The thread title makes me laugh.

Everyone knows Peter runs a Nazi forum.

If you really want someone to argue for you, send me a PM. I'll act as a crackpot lawyer. Think Lionel Hutz from The Simpsons.

But seriously, give me a PM and i'll give you my PM and argue for you if you need it.

Dusan 09-02-2006 12:05 PM

I am popular...

:

If you really want someone to argue for you,
No.

Kamille 09-02-2006 05:17 PM

Whoa! Wait hold on Mods are humans we need cold unfeeling machines to deal with crappy threads, if a thread I make is ever closed which will probaly happen in the future thats fine big deal I'll just make more and try harder.

Statikk HDM 09-03-2006 12:50 AM

I'm thread ****ing cancer recently. Hey mods, suck my spicy Italian Sausage and go to Hell! Just kidding. -10...-11...-12

Slaveless 09-03-2006 02:56 AM

For a second, I thought the reason why you made this thread with the name Democracy, was because Dusan hoped that the topic would be resolved with that we needed new moderators.

But no, I do not think there has been a single pointless lock recently. The Mods clearly summarize their reason for locking the topic, or if not, someone else has. And furthur explamation is explained in a pm. And the only problem is that some people consider their threads, their babies, and if someone locked it, they start feeling that someone tried to kill it. So that's the main problem, members whining about how their threads are close.

Zerox 09-03-2006 03:52 AM

It's 'Un-democracy' now. heh. Wonder who did that?
Anyone who has their thread closed will obviously be annoyed, but spouting uot that whoever closed it is an m-fer or something is just stupid. Starting a thread for it seems a bit pointless. PM's are here for a reason.

Dusan 09-03-2006 06:15 AM

Whatever. I'm not gonna repeat myself every time you ask me similar questions..

you overpowered nazi assholes...remove that UN

:

Mods are humans

Really?

Dude, get a life.

Zerox 09-04-2006 02:33 AM

:

I reckon the answer there's gonna be no.

Nate 09-04-2006 03:46 AM

Heh. For a while I thought he was comparing us to the United Nations. Which would make Alcar Kofi Annan, I guess.

Beyond that, Dusan - seriously dude; grow a sense of humour. You're not going to last here long without one. Besides, surely you must agree that the new title better reflects the status of the forums?:p

Dusan 09-04-2006 05:13 AM

to used: What made you think that I allredy don't have one?
:

You're not going to last here long without one.

Well, i'm planning to stay here, and belive me, if I would take this shit to personal, I would be gonne a long time ago. I also wanna stay here cause I want to practise my english. AGAIN:I want that UN to be removed for the further confusion [there is something wrong with that last sentance}.

Mutual Friend 09-04-2006 10:16 AM

Well, why don't you make the best of all possible worlds and grab someone English speaking person and talk to them on MSN or whatever. Then you don't have to be here, we don't have to endure you, and you can practice your English (which must be VERY handy in Serbia).

Statikk HDM 09-04-2006 11:29 AM

Super Stingbee, indeed.
Get stuffed, MF.

Dusan 09-04-2006 01:04 PM

...and miss the pleasure of your company?

''we don't have to endure you''
Respect man, everybody gaved you an authorization to speek in their names. ...and still the seccond option is wide open for you. Any time...

Zerox 09-05-2006 10:25 AM

That was a bit harsh, MF. Which, said abbreviation, could be changed to Mother-well, I suppose you know. Just pointing out.
So you have a humour, but yet tell us that you're taking alledged s*it?
That Un-democracy thing was pretty funny, though.
What's confusing me is how they edited your post (to change the title) yet and message saying 'last edited by *whoever* on *date etc.*' isn't there. I thought that would be a default thing *shrugs*

Rich 09-05-2006 10:44 AM

You edit a thread, not the first post.

AquaticAmbi 09-05-2006 06:26 PM

I believe we have ourselves an instant classic. :lol:

Um.. not much to say. I think that any problem you have with a specific mod's actions is best dealt with via PM in most cases. However, I could see a general thread for discussions over those sort of things like thread closings being okay if the person wants to know everyone's impartial opinions. In theory, it works, but in practice... it gets messy and quite frankly, stupid and pointless when the person asking the question won't listen to what everyone says and accepts that maybe HE or SHE is the wrong one.

That said, I'm open to anyone who has a question about any thread, post, whatever I delete or edit in PMs or in this thread.

Mutual Friend 09-07-2006 04:49 PM

It has been mentioned. Once or twice.

And to make this post actually relevant: Aqua-etc edited a post of mine unnecessarily. Just because she disliked something I wrote. Is it policy for moderators to be allowed to censor things they do not like even if they break no actual 'rules'?

No, I didn't think so. There is no defense for this action.
