This isn't tech related. Moved and warned.oook. I disagree since I'm trying to figure out which is better to work with since the PC version is for the most part, a conversion of the playstation files to barely work on the computer end where as playstation is harder to mod.
Sorry you had a bad day. And no I was not calling you out in public or being mad. Just trying to figure out what was going on. This whole public thing was initially just me being a dunderhead going "Huh, ok what happened?" and typing there and then.

Cupcake, I respect you, you're a cool guy, but this is not me out of line. Him putting a warning on me, moving my thread, and then not fessing up or fixing the situation, is out of line. It is my ultimate pet peeve and the worst way to get on my bad side to label me something I am not, which is what obesebear did. When the whole thing of me chewing out Dark_Ansem happened and I got a warning for that, yeah I had my say of I thought it was appropriate. But I did accept that judgement because it was abit excessive (Although through PM's that DAnsem initiated that wasnt anyones business of how I answered him). Not so in this situation. I'm being nice about this too by only keeping things to the board. The last time I got "Out of line" the new boyfriend of my higschool sweetheart lost use of the fingers on one hand. Painfully and deliberately. Was it an accident, not enough evidence to say. He had the choice to place his hand on my car when the hood was up. One little wiggle and slam. No mo digits. Abit excessive? I believe it used to be required a thief gets his hands cut off. He only lost four fingers that were reattached though not very usable. So right now, me making things very public on the board of me making a smearing campaign against obesebear for him putting a smear on me is very, very fair. I wouldn't go beyond that nor care to put in the resources to. He could easily call this off by rethinking the situation, apologizing, and removing the warning on my account that shouldn't be there in the first place. It's simple, but yet he's spoiled into thinking that because he's a moderator, he doesn't have to do the little things. I say screw him, I don't bend over and take crud like that. I take the punch when I've deserved it like in many other situations, but screw anyone that thinks they can do so otherwise.I run 4 guilds on gaiaonline
So you take the online world too seriously, got it.
Seriously dude, chill, you're getting way f*cking out of line.

Basically, I'm tired of keeping this place organized, so you get to be the example of sorts. So maybe, just maybe, more threads will be created where they are supposed to be.Perhaps staff should recruit some additional lower-ranking mods to cleanup rogue threads. I'm sure some people would be up for that. It would mean you wouldn't have to sting the majority of the userbase with warnings and it'd avoid threads like this being created.
Hermoor here, this sounds like fun. Let's put and end to this dictatorship and introduce a bit of anarchy. Free this boards from the no life admins supressing the development of good mods. Send me a pm on youtube if you are interested Furzball, if not good luck :)
Agreed. There's enough good members on the board to trust with moderation powers. That's another option in this.Basically, I'm tired of keeping this place organized, so you get to be the example of sorts.

Hmmm, though you are clearly insulting/mocking me and my decision, I do find a slight amusement in watching you fall apart while others sit on the sideline and laugh/facepalm. So I will likely leave you free to whine and complain. But here's your warning, if it starts to get annoying you will be moderated/muted/banned. Reasoning with teenagers...sheesh.
However, I regret to inform you that I cannot continue participating in this trolling/baiting. Since I am supposed to uphold the rules, obviously I can't go around breaking them all willy nilly. But please, do continue.
Side note: New Hermoor is banned again
===================
Lol, look at you. I mean really, just take a step back and look. Your profile says 23, but I remember being 23 and I know I didn't act like you are acting.
Since this is in the trashcan I suppose I can continue this conversation on your level.
1. I'm not pompous, in fact being in charge around here is quite annoying because though I love this site, being the one to keep it clean is a thankless hassle besides whatever personal gratification I can scrape from it.
2. I'm not an asshat, but even if I was I imagine that would be better than being an immature prepubescent virgin.
3. I'm not fat. In fact I could quite easily steal your little girlfriend away from you, or your mom, or whatever female you think loves you.
4. I'm not positive (and too lazy to check), but I think you threatened to harm me physically. Best of luck there killer. Maybe you didn't notice the Eagle Globe and Anchor for my avatar?
5. ???
6. Profit
Both of you! Stop it this instant! This is my job and I retired ;D
Ahem.
This thread is silly enough. But what's worse is that we're missing a good opportunity to properly discuss the thread category rules, and how difficult it is for new members to judge what goes where. Whilst it's very nice for us to write newbies off as stupid teenagers, and gratifying to flame those who won't read the rules, in practice, we're cutting off our noses to spite our faces, creating a massive workload for ourselves that sap moderator time.
Now, I'm not really yet qualified to call myself a technical author, or a user experience champion. But I can tell you this: it's far better to redesign your interfaces and web forms, and assume your logic is arbitrary / unintuitive / obscure, than double the support calls / admin work you endure. If our categories and rules aren't immediately obvious, they're probably confusing. Rather than marching towards Furzball's ban, let's discuss how we can avoid these problems in future.

People understand right and wrong, and they know when they are being sh*tty. No clarification is necessary as it is ultimately futile.
Ok here is my problem with all this. People complain that forum descriptions are too ambiguous, yet I do not see anyone offering up better wording. You say that this is your community? Well maybe it is time that you help us make it better. (Note: This is a generalization, some people actually do have input)
I told you your continued whining and complaining and immaturity wouldn't go unpunished. Just because I called a truce doesn't mean I'm suddenly going to tolerate your sh*t. Bans for mocking/disrespecting other members has precedence, so don't think you're the first. And yes I do fully expect you to continue coming here whining and complaining.
In case there is any confusion. The ban is for your avatar. Blatant disrespect to any member is a severe warning. Continued disrespect after being told to quit by a moderator(s) is bannable. Goodbye.
Also, for anyone wondering what he is talking about. Matron Orlha made another account and badmouthed myself and KM. So it was deleted and he was banned again.
Users may not argue a moderators decision publicly. Any and all complaints directed at a moderator must first address the moderator in question via PM. If the problem can not be resolved, then the moderator and user must send their positions to the forums global moderator. The forum global moderator will make or change any and/or all final decisions.I like the part about arguing publicly since it is very hard for people to maintain their cool. Were this in place, maybe Furzball and some others would still be around. I think the publicity just causes both sides to further stand their ground so ultimately nothing is really accomplished. As far as global moderators go, we all are: myself, sl1982, halkun, alhexx. I'm just the only active one who gets the tag.
Shoot first ask later is how I've been trained and lived my life for years.

As far as the site is concerned, Programming Feedback should be eliminated since we now allow questions in the program's thread.
That may also help get rid of the "your last search was less than 30 seconds ago" problem.
when said search function is almost unusable.
Various manglings of Norse gods, on the other hand, won't get many false positives. Or, at the very least, Herm will at least spell the names of his idols correctly for a change.

That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
