Oh, Jesus Fucking Christ with your "..." and "??". Here's a helpful hint; want to have some degree of credibility in a discussion about English? Try writing it.
Now, onto your "argument".
Jari, ice_cold513 isn't a native english speaker... I don't realy know about this Running Glitch guy but I know about him. It is just normal for someone which his native language isn't the english to have some probleme with english right?
Oh, so that's why he has low self esteem, and wants to be treated differently because of it! Excellent!
He seems to be located in England itself though - you know, the place where English language originated? Perhaps he should try get some immersion, maybe that would teach him.
And ice_cold513 is not the only one here I'm pretty sure of it. If I understand you correctly everyone with problems writing english will be insulted by you, exept if they are dyslexics right ? This is non-sense... I mean dyslexics can write properly(sometime). But if someone isn't a native english speaker and they are still learning... what good it there to instult them... I mean they will do the effort that's for sure ... but they won't learn faster just by getting insulted by you.
Well, obviously you do not understand me correctly. Perhaps some more English lessons would be in order?
To show "show some degree of leniency" means being somewhat forgiving.
Somewhat. Get that?
If you had actually paid attention, you'd have found several cases of me treating people with obviously lacking skills of English differently. But have you paid attention?
No, you haven't. I have apparently crushed your weak ego like a faulty tin can, and you are desperately trying to seek some kind of argument - you grab everything that comes to your mind, without even knowing anything about it.
And you know what? ice_cold513's problem is not the lack of English skills. It's his laziness; again, every language I know comes with punctuation, something he often fails to use. Not to mention he himself played the Liek-Ron card; he was not even worried about being non-native - he was assuming that he'd get special treatment because he's fucked up in the head. Wrong answer. No can do. No respect for the lazy.
And in you last post you say: "It's simply the path of least resistance for us" ... I wonder why's the "us" here. It's not about the other moderators, it's just about you. I've never seen Qhimm or The SaiNt insulting anyone(or at least not exept for a very good reason). I wonder Jari... did Qhimm staff did gave you moderator powers so you can insult people even more than you did before ?? If so, I guess I'll just shut up 'cause it seems to ve the will of the Admin here, so I can't do nothing about it. But I doubt it because you are the only one who instult the members non-stop as soon as either they do not agree with you, or they made an english mistake.
*chuckle*
You really don't pay attention, do you?
If you had, you might have noticed that Qhimm is not the person to piss off, or you might notice that he is indeed capable of being highly insulting, should he choose to be.
SaiNt doesn't really interfere in the forum these days, so it's pretty much a moot point in regard to him.
And why don't you see them moderating much these days? 1) Because now they once again have moderator staff that actually does something and 2) because at least Qhimm is very disappointed with the decline of his forum; mostly how stupid most of the n00bs are.
You'd probably have to ask Qhimm why he gave me moderator powers. I'd guess that for the last time the answer would be "because he thought I'd get results". I had told him what I thought of the "performance" of the existing moderators, and told him that if he gives me mod powers, I'll clean General up. He did - which is a some degree of vote of confidence in itself, seeing that we weren't on speaking terms at that time - and I did. He didn't take them away afterwards, and when asked why, he told me that he was pleased of my performance.
He is perfectly aware of my way of doing things. You realize that during my seven years in here, this is not the first time I moderate?
But by all means, ask him. I don't mind.
You said "I've had enough friendly notices do absolutely nothing" Well... do you really have confirmation that you're insult notices did something better ?? I mean, exept maybe pushing people to hate you and get out of forums.
Yes, I do. And what you pointed out is one way of achieving it. You seem to be under the impression that we'd need every idiot who finds this place. We don't. We don't
need anyone, and we only want the smart ones. If the rest go away... hey, works for me.
Or maybe that's just what you want, to push everyone off, exept youself and your followers (by followers I don't mean the others admins of the forums of course since they don't follow you at all in this: "I have to instult everyone quest").
Hey, if you really think that I'm wrong, talk to them. I'm sure they'll listen if they think you are right. Ask that they'll make a moderator while you are at it.
