I invite you to take a look at the following forums: http://www.slipstreambbs.com//forumd...r=14&SUBMIT=Go http://www.trekbbs.com//forumdisplay...,+Suggestions+|AMP|+Feedback&number=13&DaysPrune=2&LastLogin= http://www.trekbbs.com//forumdisplay...r=30&SUBMIT=Go http://www.xsorbit3.com/users/LenaBe....cgi?board=qsf http://midnight.proboards5.com/index.cgi?board=QSF And even: http://pub79.ezboard.com/ftrollkingdomfrm1 Ok so some of these BBSes don't have much going on in those forums but suffice to say they were created for a reason. The reason being that mods do in fact handle situations badly sometimes, like anyone else and need to be called on it.

You're really starting to piss me off. If you had bothered to open your eyes for a second, look around, the rules about spam and advertising are quite clear. The search feature is also incredibly usefull. Just accept that you made a mistake and quit bitching about it. That's what's really getting on my nerves, the fact that you expect us to apologize for enforcing the rules of Entmoot! You don't like it, leave, I sure as hell won't miss someone who causes as many problems as you do in 2 days!

Firstly, you started a redundant thread and advertising in one. They are against the rules. I closed it. End of Story.
Your constant use of giving situations from other Message boards is irrelevant, every message board is different. Comparing us to other mods is irrelevant also. Quote:
I read your PM Lady Midnight, I felt that I didn't need to reply to it, as it was clear why your thread was closed, true I could have replied if I wanted to, but I prefered to have fun in the other 'Newbie thread', so don't think the world must revolve around you. As for an apology. I ain't in the mood to lie today. |

I'm sorry for Tater's brusque comments. Maybe I'm just soft, but I believe in treating all the members with respect, regardless of what missteps they may have taken.
Btw, there is no guaranteed free speech here. The staff pay for everything, and allowing free advertising isn't what we're here for. Again, there are plenty of places to plug your site/zine/board... just not as an entire thread, and certainly not as two. I think that what this episode illustrates is the need to finally implement anduin's idea of a Suggestions forum.

And the fact that Lady Midnight has no respect for the rules.

OMG. Can i just say something? I have been reading all of this and i think its disgusting. i mean please. people are dying in the world and your'e fighting overa thread!!!
Lady Midnight: I think its an easy mistake to make oncebut i do think it was made clear by CBG that there was another thread.And if that thread wasnt what you wanted, couldnt you have put your need for poetry, stories etc.. in your sig? But also I'm going to defend her. I'd justlike to point out that in the rules it says: "Don't insult people. If you are just joking around, make sure you include a smiley so that the person knows it; that person may interpret it as a personal attack." This isalso known as 'flaming' which is also forbidden. Tater, one post of yours : You're really starting to piss me off. If you had bothered to open your eyes for a second, look around, the rules about spam and advertising are quite clear. The search feature is also incredibly usefull. Just accept that you made a mistake and quit bitching about it. That's what's really getting on my nerves, the fact that you expect us to apologize for enforcing the rules of Entmoot! You don't like it, leave, I sure as hell won't miss someone who causes as many problems as you do in 2 days! That is what i would class as a personal attack. No smilies to say your joking or anything. How can you expect Lady Midnight to stick strictly to the rules if you do not?

Well, Tater's never been known for his tact.
We seem to have a minor disagreement within the administration about this issue. I believe that the members should be treated with courtesy, even if it seems obvious to us that a particular member is wrong. Tater does not share this view. Maybe if more people are offended by his remarks, he will stop. I predicted this scenario, that regular members unconnected to this small issue would be ticked off by his diatribe, and here's proof. Strawberry, you're not really defending LM but disagreeing with Tater's attack. There's a difference. There's no question in my mind that LM is wrong, but imo by taking her bait Tater just validated her claims of administrative heavy-handedness.

Just one quick thing, I don't see much of a reason to show respect to someone who shows no respect to me.
Now, I think everything that needed to be said has been said. I'm gonna close this thread before it completely falls apart into a flame war, which I see the makings of already. |
