Mods suck sometimes, you know?

[Nate]

I was not making a personal attack on Max. My point is, if he is willing to bring his personal feelings about someone that he pseudo-dated for a bit into the forums and try to get all the mods to ban him (I read your thread in Employee Lounge, Nate. Figure that one out.)

I assume you're talking about the thread started by me, in which case it was a discussion regarding whether he deserved a custom title. There was no discussion at all about banning him. It's a topic we chat about on occassion, when someone asks me for a CT and I don't personally think they're deserving; perhaps other mods have a different opinion or perhaps they post a lot in FC or RPG and I don't see it.

In that particular thread, there was unanimous agreement that he didn't deserve it. None of the moderators approved of him either as a member or on a personal level. Sure, Max had a little bitch about MF but he also stated quite clearly that his feelings should not be taken in to account. They weren't. The fact is that MF was a whiny little bitch whose only contributions to OWF were snarky one liners and the odd rant. That thread can best be summed up by the last post, in response to T-nex asking whether MF could ever recieve a CT:

In six months, if he were to become a productive member rather than someone who just pops by occassionally to wise-crack, yes.

Now, on to the real issue.

If I were in Max' position, I probably would have done the same thing. My first thought on reading your post was "Uhoh, this is going to go badly" but I still would have given it a chance to be witty or entertaining. It ended up being neither of those things so he was right to move it to Necrum.

I also have no problem with Splat giving you an infraction in response to behaviour over a number of posts. I've done the same thing myself. He even asked in EL whether it was a good idea or not and got no objections.

Frankly, we all value you as a member. However, sometimes you go through stages where you're not straddling the line between humour and trollishness but rather dancing a merry jig on the other side. In the past, a short, sharp rap on the knuckles generally gave you the hint to straighten out. Not sure why this time is any different.

[Strike Witch]

Because this time...it's personal.

That pretty much sums this entire thread up. Nate saves the day as usual.

[Leto]

I can definately see why OANST made his thread though. OT can get super boring, sometimes the only posts in it on a certain day will be Mod Survivor Island and something about elevators or some shit. I was going to make a 'What is the size of your penis?' thread, but when I tried I was such a noob I didn't know how to make a poll because I miss the 'make a poll' button.

[Disgruntled Intern]

I don't venture far from OT.

I might pop into the EL once in a blue moon simply because I can [ though the majority of you are about as exciting as watching paint dry ].

I feel the need to post here. I'm not sure why.

Wait, I am sure. Here goes:

OANST, you know I love you, babe. Lots. We're cut from the same cloth. Kindred spirits. Hetero-life partners. Whatever. I apparently missed out on a doozy of a thread, which saddens me.


Wait. I don't really have a point. Other than this:


I would rape Killy because Killy is a self righteous little prick that has no real business being here. Killy is stupid. Killy is ugly. Killy say mean things to OANST. This make DI not so happy. But DI no smash when mad. No. DI rape when mad. So DI rape Killy to death and everyone happy in the end. Except for poor DI's penis. Penis sad for touching Killy. But Penis know it had to be done.

hahahahahahahahahahahha.

I am out of control.

[mudling]

Wow.
Umm, firslty, I'd like to say that I'm sorry about the misunderstanding, I am in no way offended by the rape thread, I have no idea if anyone else is/ was, I was just opening your eyes to what happens in this world, and it is perfectly possible that someone will be very deeply effected by the thread.
Firstly, I understand the intention was out of humour, but there's some times where you have to know when to stay silent, yes I know this is a forum, but you can go to far.
You should at least have provided a warning fro those who could have been affected though.

I know the mods, etc. made up with OANST, so I'll leave it at that, and who am I to judge, however, I find myself wanting to actually stick up for OANST and say that recently he has changed alot, and some people tend to pegeonwhole alot of people who have changed.
Also, alot of people have entirley valid arguments, T-nex and Killy included.
That's all I have to say, I hope I didn't piss anyone off, I just felt the need to say something after my... erm... explosion.

[Strike Witch]

You call that an explosion? I call that a hissy fit.

[Splat]

If no one has anything else to add isn't it about time this was closed? It just seems to be going nowhere now; just people repeating whats been said and trying to stoke the flamewar-that-almost-was.

Noo! Leave it opened just for the heck of it So that 5 years from now, some noob will reply to this thread saying something like "Rape iz bad omgz!" and everyone will be reminded of how silly we were, arguing and arguing on about this...

Here, here!

I'm glad I stayed out of this thread, mainly because I have nothing constructing to say about the topic...

[mudling]

Well, explosion on my terms, as outside the computer I exploded, in the forums I tried to contain myself a bit.
P.s. I'm always having a hissy fit.
Oh and ditto to what T-nex said.

[MeechShrykull1029]

Someone put my quiz thread in Necrum. That was unfair. There was a quiz thread in the past, but it is old. Why did it get put in Necrum? I think this thread is the place I should post this.

Done and done.

[Nate]

I've said it before about many similar issues and I'll say it again; if you're going to create a quiz thread, it helps if you include a quiz.

Creating a thread to say "Here is a place to share your xyz..." is a fasttrack to Necrum.

Stop being a whiney little getting-none bitch, Charles

edit: cunt. someone reopen it

[scrab_at_duty]

Max,Splat,Nate ,BM and Xavier are the only ones who I see that are mods by what they done .

[horia_roks]

Agreed with SAD!

Edit: HORIA_ROKS SUCKS!!!!!
Edit: Who made the first edit sucks!
Edit: Whoever made the second edit sucks!!!!
Edit: Who made the third edit is a hobo
Edit: I eat balls!
Edit: Yes, he's right! Hobo really eats balls!

[Nate]

Hobo is a mod 'by what they done' more than any of us. I've seen the pictures.

[AlienMagi]

Max,Splat,Nate ,BM and Xavier are the only ones who I see that are mods by what they done .

When have Xavier and Bullet Magned done anything??
When was Xavier last online since Mod survivor island??

[MeechShrykull1029]

Xavier was online after MSI, you weren't. And Xavier and BM both made lots of good posts.

[Wings of Fire]

I think you'll find all mods deserve to be mods by 'what they have done' otherwise the admins wouldn't have promoted them.

Unless of course we infer from you that the admins are idiots, an interesting juxtaposition to your statement in which you name them as mods that deserved their promotions presumably by 'what they have done'.

Whichever way I look at it your statement is contradictory.

EDIT: Am, please start actually checking threads and posts not relating to you, you'll find out that Xavier and BM have done a lot for the forums. You only have to look at the more intellectual topics or the Oddworld Q&A to see this.

[Alcar]

Of course the admins are idiots, dobe.

Alcar...

[Xavier]

It's not my fault if you don't post in the Oddworld Discussion...

[horia_roks]

I know who Bullet Magnet is, I just didn't know that you guys abreviate it BM.

[horia_roks]

Alcar, please Necrum this before that homo bastard destroys it!

Thing is, this thread was just a retaliation against the closing of the "Who would you rape" thread. That matter has long since lost its hype and I would rather not see my baby used as the proving grounds for the 13 year old members. Please close it.

[Wil]

Just stop saying things in it. Next person to say anything irrelevant gets an infraction unless WoF doesn’t see this post before he makes his own.
