I agree with the general idea of the thread, I just find it ironic you are the one who decided to make it after calling me a "Prick" the day before the date it was written.

I think you're missing the point, if I'm honest.

I mean, casually calling each other "pricks" "cunts" "ass" doesn't seem to be the problem. I know FM doesn't want to use an example in his OP, but the amount of shit sh1fty gets without even saying a word is simply amazing. Like yesterday, when people just spammed pics of him in EE Chats. And when Cam's condom pics were posted after every post of his when it was completely irrelevant.

Quite frankly, it's annoying, old and boring.

I'm all for calling people out when they make retarded posts, and let's face it, shifty makes quite a few. Flame his posts, I don't care - hell I'll probably join in. But spamming pictures of him in threads that are completely irrelevant is, quite frankly, low and pathetic.



I might be misunderstanding here, but I believe this is the background/idea behind the thread.

To be honest though, how much of that crap do that bring on themselves?

If Warman and Brad didn't try to be internet tough guys, weren't 16 year olds who fancy themselves army-men on the internet, they wouldn't get so much crap.

And if CammRobb didn't want to get shit for lighting himself on fire, he shouldn't have posted pics of it.

I know that harassing them has gone to far, but if you don't do and say stupid shit all the time, people aren't going to pick on you. So instead of White-Knighting these people, the mods should try to get them to change their post style so that they don't bring so much on themselves.

I think CammRobb didn't mind getting shit for blowing a condom up in his face.  What he didn't expect and us as mods don't want to deal with is people like you spamming his pic every other time he posts in other threads.

Stay on topic, don't insult.  It's in the rules, we shouldn't have to have posts like the OP spell it out for you, but with the increase in the types of behavior mentioned we as mods felt it necessary to remind all of us how to post constructively.

As I said, it goes both ways. This is no free pass for idiots to be idiots and not receive their due.

did hakei actually get banned?

No we just change his title and edit his posts with "user was banned for this post" for kicks.

I think you're confusing hak with me.

Hmm this topic does raise a fair point, though some of them do bring it on themselves.

Obviously it wouldn't nice to be on the receiving end of all the e-abuse. I mean as much as some of their posts are retarded/stupid you just have to control yourself from abusing them. As soon as one popular member starts abusing someone everyone thinks it's ok and jumps in e-dickslapping the victim. I mean I am guilty of this myself I'd admit it I just got sick of reading their posts.

You have to understand that some members have been here for a long time and think of this place as theirs. They don't want someone with retarded posts ruining their forum I suppose. Obviously due to the nature in which this site has been set-up I doubt it very much we will see an increase in members signing up. With all the bullying that could even potentially sway even more members away from signing up.

Add that to the fact that the general activity of this place is lowering everyday I guess the mod's don't want to ban too many people. They are saying this for your and the forums benefit.

So yeah stop being cunts basically there are 1000's of forums where a select few "e-cool" twat's bully every new/slightly stupid member. What's the point turning this place into the rest?

When someone gets banned/warned just for calling someone a prick, then you have a case jord.

lol you got called a cunt by the first two people to post on your thread too.

Yes but I talk to them alot and I know they were joking and they knew the thread was a joke. Anyway the overall point is, lead by example.

And that's a good point.

It is in fact fm that had the most hand in making the mod section a hostile environment, imo.

Almost from day one you were barking like a little chihuahua, second guessing, accusing and generally trying to be a little napoleon, which created tension, which created a hostile workplace. Oh man, it was great going through the 19 page usmarine thread and reading all the sniping an backstabbing that you seemed to enjoy initiating. And then this OP, lol. I understand it, but as usual you are being a hypocrite.

And then yesterday I spent 15 minutes typing a statement in this thread that I felt backed up your point AND explained a lot of my frustration.


Within five minutes it was deleted by one of the biggest do-nothing mods here with an AWM for spam???








bah, this site has run it's course, imo. It reminds me of Sienfeld, that sitcom about nothing.

Some of the mods are idiots. Some of users and mods I have a genuine affection for, which makes things hard. Anyways, have fun in Vegas.

There are threads about each member in the mod section?

Only members with issues.

RL issues got in the way. Won't happen again (hopefully!).

Edit: :o

FU FM

He was a mod, and fairly decent at his job. But then he committed the ultimate sin and testified against other mods - gone bad. Mods who tried to kill him, but got the Mexican he loved instead. Framed for murder, now he prowls teh EE chatz. An outlaw hunting outlaws, a bounty hunter - a grape!

Then there's this true story (really)

User A: If I've ever said that, quote me on it!
User B quotes user A on having said that
Unknown mod "Ken J." AWMs user B for flaming and then tells user B that he shouldn't push his luck.

Anyway other people have said what needs to be said, now it's just up to those 'important' people to ignore it and pretend this thread was a great success

Pimpin' aint easy!

IMHO, that wouldn't happen unless when B quoted A, they went over the top and got all personal n shit. Then AWM would be well warranted. This isn't rocket surgery ya know... grasp it and embrace it Sarge.

This thread is a great success either way you look at it. My modmin stats padding has already gone up.
