This is funny. Remember when you started arguing with me in the 'Lack of moderation' thread despite the fact that I was talking to Moon God and not you?

MarkB, you have absolutely NO right to tell someone how to act, thanks
But you do? Everybody is entitled to an opinion, even if it doesn't agree with yours.

Quote:
Kai, if I do something wrong, I expect a warning just like anyone else....
And you'll get one, if you cross the line far enough. But you'll undoubtedly attribute it to corruption when it does arrive.

Quote:
you allow threads saying "omg, <insert PW name her> banned me for <insert reason and/or screeny here>" or "omg, the manager of <insert PW name here> is so corrupt, look what he/she did" or "omg, <insert staff members name here> of <insert PW name here> did this and this and this"
Indeed? Again I ask you to give one example.

Quote:
People are proving points all over the place, everytime someone bashes a server, everytime someone bashes staff, everytime someone bashes or harrasses a player, it is allowed to go on.
1) I've already pointed out the flaw in this logic. If I delete something, you don't see it anymore. How do you know it was ever there? I could delete a hundred threads every day and you wouldn't know about it.
2) If the person doesn't cross a line - and especially if they have a valid point to raise - then they are allowed to post their criticisms. I'm not going to silence them just to appease the managers' egos.

Quote:
I myself have broken quite a few rules on here, some of them were to prove a point, and some were out of frustration, or anger, but the point is, there should have been a warning every time
If I gave a warning for every minor infraction then there wouldn't be any forum users left. There has to be a balance, for everybody's sake.

Quote:
and Kai, you need to stop calling people names, and making them feel stupid...
Once again I ask for an example. The only time I insult people is if they start the hostilities. I never attack people for no reason.

Quote:
You want to shut me up by banning me off the forums, then do it.
I think that'd be fun, but unfortunately you haven't deserved it yet. Unlike your husband, I don't ban people just because I don't like them.

Quote:
I wont shut up until I see a real effort of the rules being followed and enforced for the good of the people who post here.
Everybody knows that the rules are enforced. The chaos during my absence proves the effect I have here. I'm not as punishing as you, however, because I understand that there are more shades than simply black and white. A lot of people here would've been banned if I were as strict as you'd like me to be. Would that be for their own good? Is it justifiable to ban 90% of the users for minor offenses, all for the sake of the remaining 10%? You're being ridiculous.

Quote:
Trust me, the forums wont die if you disallow the server bashing threads (and dont say there have been very few or I will start copy and pasting).
If there are then I haven't seen them (I'm only one guy, y'know). I allow criticism of servers. I allow publication of important issues. I don't allow pointless bashing.

Quote:
BTW, Kai....if I were warned or banned justly, I would complain to noone.
Of course, but you would never allow yourself to believe that your ban was fair or just. You would decide that it was simply another evil action from Dark Overlord Kaimetsu.

Quote:
also, you blame me for the server bashing threads? I didnt start them, but I may be guilty for joining into the arguing
Except that, with your amazing powers of precognition, you can join in before the arguments have even started! No. You start many, many fights by complaining about harmless comments or the actions of other managers. In your misguided crusade to stamp out negativity, you actually make yourself one of the biggest sources thereof!
