Majic and the other OIPT members are not Moderators, and should they not be able to close threads, etc as well? They can live with it, and have done so for quite a while.

Alcar...

I am nothing to do with the damn OIPT, I am the ODDLYMPICS asstant manager. And Mac is the Oddlympics CEO. Mac (as far as I can see) is a moderator. Therefore he can do all the things I need to be able to do.

You aren't really listening to me here Alcar, nor have you replied to my PM. I suggest you check your PM inbox. Unless of course you are deliberately ignoring me.

I am now a bit weary of how much I should trust you Alcar, as there is obviously something going on behind the scenes that I really should know about.

Okay, first of all, I must state that I don't mean to anger anyone or offent anyone with anything I'm about to say in this post. I would just like to explain a few things.

I do not consider myself an actual "mod", since I was not voted into the moderator position like all the other mods, and the sub-forum I'm allowed to "moderate" isn't an actual discussion area or anything, it's just a place to hold activities.

Alcar, I'd like it if you could change my custom title thing to not say mod. Many people misunderstand it, and it gets very tiring. Plus, I don't want people to think that I actually consider myself a mod.

As for Majic and the other members of the OIPT not having mod access to the OIPT sub-forum, that is because they do not actually run any of the activities. They are the behind-the-scenes people, who help come up with the ideas and everything. So the mod "powers" aren't necessary.

(I do not mean any offense to Majic or any other OIPT members, and I do not consider myself higher than any of them. They do great work. Just thought I'd make that clear.)

But in our case, we come up with the stuff and run the thing. It would just make things much easier for Death and me to run the Oddlympics if he was given the moderating access to the OIPT forum. He and I wouldn't need to have the special Oddlympics Moderator custom titles, or even be listed as a moderator. We just need to be able to do the things to the Oddlympics as mods can do to normal forums, but without being considered a mod.

Again, please do not take this post as an argument or order or anything like that. It is only an explanation.

Once again, this is exactly what I am talking about. Thanks Mac.
(Although, those Moderator titles look cooler don't you think?)

I just remember him writing in a thread saying everyone hated him and he wanted a new name. Well thank you for explaining that case, and clearing it up for me.

No dont do that Mac, this arguement shouldn't have affected you in anyway, if it did sorry... but we all know you're a mod, there is nothing wrong with you being a mod. Its ok you're a mod of oddlympics.

He and I wouldn't need to have the special Oddlympics Moderator custom titles, or even be listed as a moderator. We just need to be able to do the things to the Oddlympics as mods can do to normal forums, but without being considered a mod.

I trust you Mac, but i dont think Death thinks that way, if he thinks that way he wouldn't have needed that custom title, a name change and as he noted, (Although, those Moderator titles look cooler don't you think?) That statement has alot of meaning behind it..... I totally trust you Mac, but i just cant accept Death being a mod....

OKAY, now you are starting to piss me off. Why don't you just **** OFF! Instead of just trying to stop me! Did you see me demanding to have a moderator title? No. I would like one, it would be nice, but I don't demand one or claim to need one.

You never do anything constructive, you just try and mess things up so why don't you just ****ing leave? I have had enough of you answering questions that MODS and ADMINS should be answering.

And don't tell me how I ****ing think you dickhead. I don't want some two bit muttwanker giving me a psychoanalasis.

You don't have to accept me being a mod, you just have to deal with it. Tough shit loser, I got a position here and I have a role too, just because you don't doesn't mean you should be trying to ruin it for me.

I really want to do this in case you haven't notice, so stop trying to make this difficult. I WANT to contribute. Is that so hard for you to understand?

And what do you mean "that statement had a lot of meaning behind it"? What do you think you are? Some revolutionary psychologist? **** OFF! I meant nothing more than what I said. They look cooler, so **** OFF!

I WANT a custom title to show everyone WHO I AM. I woud LIKE a moderator title because it looks cooler. Just my opinion. I NEED to have moderator access. I don't have to be a listed mod. And Mac doesn't moderate anywhere else on the OWF except Oddlympics. Which you never visit so shut the **** UP.

You made this an argument. It started off as a polite request. Then you ****ED it up. And who cares if you don't trust me? Does anyone actually listen to you? No probably not.

Sorry about that but I had to get it out of my system. Joshy's post was so obviously a vindictive attempt to prevent me from getting anywhere here that I just had to answer.

The fact is, that this is being dealt with. Meanwhile, I don't want anyone ruining it before it gets anywhere good. And this is what Mac wants so stop trying to twist his words and convince him otherwise. Alcar is apparantly talking with Abe Babe about it also.

So there you have it, PWNAGE JOSHY! PWNAGE! Now get lost.

Josh answers questions that Admins or Mods should answer because he knows what the answers are. Yes, he is only a member, but he knows more than you could dream about.

Why, I tell Josh everything to do with the forums. We regarly argue who should be promoted, and who shouldn't. He knows who I have in mind, and he knows what my thoughts are on everything.

If there is anyone here who could speak on my behalf, it would be Josh.

Alcar...

[Codek]

Totally think he is an absolute ****er.

I hate him, I hate everything to do with him, and I think you are unwise to let such a dickhead know so much. And by the way, no he doesnt know more than me. Nobody does. I know far more than all of you about anything coded. But if you think you know loads, perhaps tell me what FSCK does.

If you would just ****ing let me, I could do so much good here. I applied for the job with Mac, and I got the job. I fit the bill, I am the man for the job, whatever phrase you want to use.

I knew this would happen. That Joshy person just wants me to leave so that he can prove himself right. That is why he is starting this argument. Name one thread where he has posted something useful or helpful!!

When I started this thread, it was a light hearted stab at a genuine and honest question. And now it is an argument. Joshy does NOT know what our plans are for the Oddlympics, nor can I disclose any information on it, but trust me it is better.

I have explained and explained and explained. And now I am tired and can go no further. So please, PLEASE stop deliberately doing this. I am trying my VERY best to just like you all and get along, but you are pushing me to my LIMITS!

I want to help do this Oddlympics thing, I really do. I would like to think that I made a difference. I WANT TO HELP!

You ****ers! How ****ing dare you! I try to help and all you do is ****ing dismiss me like I am some peice of dirt that you couldnt give a shit about.

[Alcar]

I think it was wise to trust such a dickhead like Josh. I trust Josh, because he is trust worthy.

Alcar...

[Codek]

I couldn't care less. Mac please come in here and tell them again. I need help!

You are making me work SO hard for this. The reason I am being persistent is because I really want to do this. PLEASE. It isn't like I would be destroying anything.

I will be of no use with just a custom title. My hands are tired now...

[Hobo]

I'm sorry death, but i'm with Joshy on this one. I mean, no-one really knows you, having not even been here for a month. I personally don't see the reason that this post wen tto you. I mean, nearly every other forum around has limits on how long you must have been there to gain custom titles/ banner etc. So why should we let someone who hasn't reached a month yet, become a moderator huh?

[Codek]

BUT I WONT BE A MODERATOR!!!!! I never asked to be one. I just need moderator powers for the OIPT subforum, thats all. Make me a moderator in 6 months time if you want, but I am not interested in that yet. I just need to be able to open/close topics, post announcements and sticky threads etc.

After all, its not like I will go on a spree closing every single thread in the forums when I am only restricted to the OIPT sub forum is it?

[Mac the Janitor]

Please, Death, calm down. We won't get what we want by calling them names.

Wow, thank you Joshy. I'm glad to know that I'm trusted. You've really suprised me lately with your posts; you seem a lot more mature and levelheaded nowadays.

But actually, Death does think the same as me. We've been discussing it via PM over the past few days.

As for the comment about the titles being cooler, I believe he was only joking.

Again, I'd like to say I respect you Joshy. You seem like a good guy.

Alcar, do you happen to have an AOL or AIM screen name? If you do, I'd like to discuss this situation with you sometime.

[Codek]

AHHH, THANK GOD! Mac I owe you one bigtime.

Yes ok, I will calm down about this, you're right. *Obeys Mac*.

It's true we have been discussing this via PM, and we are on the same level here, so trust me when I speak for Mac. I wouldn't want to put words into anybodies mouths.

Thanks again to Mac for saving me an awful lot of trouble.

And Joshy stop being sucky, hehe.

[Alcar]

Mac, I have AIM. I'll PM you with my addy.

Alcar...

[Codek]

At some point I need to speak to you also Alcar.
