Hello,
The announcement was time based, It was due to end today but Moonie beat me to posting them in the Forum announcement forum.:o

zell12 · #5 01-04-2004, 10:40 PM

Yeah but when I select "The Beginning" on the Forum announcements forum it only displays Unixmads thread about Kamuii... :/ The Rules should be posted in the signup thing or in a no-expire announcement.

Because after a certain amount of time, the threads go away, thats why you dont see any of the ones that were there before.

I think the rules should have their own little button at the top of the main page

Why? I use that Home button... Try replacing an utterly useless button... Like the Members button.

Well I was going to say that, but admins may use it.
And the home links to the same place 4 links go to:

*Home Button
*Logo
*Graal Communication Center (reserved for gold and vip subscribers) link
*Bush Forum Bullet

They could just ADD one I guess, they dont need to take one away.

But I am still holding onto the hope that they will bring the Members page back. :[

Well, anyways I just wanted to know how big avatars were, but I never got the information until now and I am not in the mood to make one. I had a wonderful idea too...

I don't see the point of having rules at all when the damned moderators do whatever they want anyway.

Not really. Any thread closings, the main problem it would seem, is due to rule breaks.

My suggestion would be for forum goers to re-read the rules, and simply follow them....not hard

Actually more often than not it's probably something that could be fixed with a post deletion rather than a thread trashing...

marcoR · #26 01-06-2004, 11:32 PM

I was thinking such a thing earlier.. Dictator does sum of this pretty easily, there's no understanding - the slightest infringement on any rule results in punishment..we need a jury

WHIPENIE4 · #27 01-06-2004, 11:33 PM

Here we go again we're out of our medicine out of our minds we want in yours let us in. Another arguing thread. lets turn it into Peace and Joy. heres something to arhue about.

I'm talking about some that have been recently closed. Namely the New World one in the playerworld forum. There was absolutely no reason to close that one.

You mods are corrupt, we cant have any fun, i wouldnt take suggestions from you at all.

Good to see more people finally standing up to this oppression.

Crono · #32 01-07-2004, 12:02 AM

Well..of course superb.Think about it. Who is this forum for? You have two choices because thats how cheap and dirty I am >

!

People who boss everyone else around and act like police from germany in 1943 or the people who play the game and want to communicate with fellow gamers be it in a positive or negative way?

We all know the answer. :]

That I completely agree with. Unixmad had given the go-ahead for the project right there in the thread... I was quite disappointed with Angel when I saw that she had closed the thread...

Yep. What rule did it break, Sparky?

And Angel, why close the thread discussing quality of moderation?

You should take your own advice, because you clearly don't understand the ruleset. Virtually none of the threads closed by you newbies have broken any rules (even the few that were illegal were handled badly).

Divider · #37 01-07-2004, 05:25 AM

Because it's a good idea?

Glad she did.

Bashing each other, trying to act smarter than each other..it was getting rather annoying and boring reading it.

Don't start it again, for the love of god, please no.

Angel has to learn someday that there's more to moderation than simply closing the threads you don't like. You're not helping.

By the way, I assume that your name was chosen with the help of a Japanese dictionary? Do you know what it actually means?

I guess that is why they should have deleted those posts.

Anyways no one tells you to read it, or forces you, its simply choice.

Because you grow tired of reading something does not mean people who are actually intrested in the topic, do.

Edit:

A second point poped into my head moments ago.

Forum users who open a thread on a closed topic are banned right? We have seen it many times. So how is someone to continue discussing the topic when the thread is closed. Thus all users who were actively discussing the topic, lose out.

This thread wasn't made to continue discussing the poor quality of moderation. I found a loophole. Nice huh?

I just made a comment about the fact that there's no point of their being rules if the moderators aren't going to follow them and simply do whatever the hell they want to.
