Departure

Python523 · #1 01-30-2004, 06:40 AM

I would like my modship to all the forums I am mod on to be removed as I am going to quit actively participating here. I refuse to take part in these forums as an administrator when a friend of mine (who also was an administrator) has had his powers revoked for the same actions which have been vested upon him by other administrators. The administration here has become more like a group of buddies and lackies; instead of those who should have the job having it, it has become more or less the ones who have the jobs are those who have the most friends.

Now, with that said, I would prefer this post not be deleted or closed or moved to the trashbin. In fact, feel free to delete any extremist replies that are against the rules of these forums. I am not a down with the system zealot, I have my opinion, I know I can't really do anything about what I dislike since in reality I have no true power; so, I accept it. No, I am not saying the mods should be removed, I am just saying I have disagreed with their actions and as a result of the consequence which befell upon my friend, I no longer wish to be an administrator here. I also am not saying that the mods should be replaced; I am saying that I do believe there are some better suited for it. However, we people, or should I say, you people, are stuck with them, I highly discourage anti-mod movements, as they will get you nowhere.

And finally, I am not fully quitting graal, please do not misinterpret my post as I do not want my admin level removed. I also do not believe that either side is good. However, I also do not believe any side is bad. So, I leave with this phrase:

There is neither good nor evil; there is only power, and those who use it.

Bye, see you on AIM.

--Chris-- · #3 01-30-2004, 07:20 AM

Quite noble of you and I agree to some extent. Hopefully all of this conflict would be settled some time soon :x

Valder · #4 01-30-2004, 07:40 AM

I don't blame you Jagen. Moon Goddess aka "Moonie" should not be supermod if she cannot accept critisizm. She should have been the one whose powers were revoked because of her childish and spiteful actions. I would start a thread about it, but I'd probably also have my powers removed and be banned from the forums

superb · #5 01-30-2004, 08:06 AM

Can't say I didn't warn you. Nothing will be done about it though. The people who can make the changes don't give a rat's ass about these forums.

Scott · #6 01-30-2004, 08:08 AM

Fight the power!

zell12 · #7 01-30-2004, 08:56 AM

Fight the System, Scott...

Quite Intresting.. honestly, I never really have come to like you, nor have I tried to like you... But, I guess its honorable of you to quit after an in-justice was done... Have fun... doing... whatever it is you do.

Unixmad is trying to kill his own forum. Bye Jagen <3

No, I think he thinks he's doing the right thing. His judgement is just clouded due to some nasty influences that control him.

Loriel · #11 01-30-2004, 02:25 PM

Wow, that came pretty unexpected for me.
I guess I will see you around anyway, but, eh, this sucks.

Well that sucks that you are leaving

Good luck in whatever you do outside of the forums. Talk to you on AIM sometime!
Come on Jagen, you can atleast spell departure right! lol

Python523 · #13 01-30-2004, 03:25 PM

Please don't get the thread closed; I don't want this to be a bashing thread

BTW, your quote sounds like something a Taoist would say.

I think it's something that Saruman said in LOTR

I wouldn't trust anything that Sharky said as wise.

superb · #19 01-30-2004, 08:21 PM

Though I'm involved in this argument, I think we should move it to the other thread out of respect for Jagen.

She could split it. But, that would require moderatorly insight.

Indeed, as you cannot argue with the truth. Thank you for politely giving up, though. With that, I am done too.

I have alot of respect for Jagen, that is why I am ending this discussion in his thread, and anyone else who respects him should do the same....

If you respected him, you would put forth some damned effort and split the thread to keep this out of his goodbye thread.

Darlene159 · #25 01-30-2004, 10:27 PM

All of your opinions about modship can be put in the thread Mykel created for it

And, Mykel....Unixmad doesnt tell me what to post, but the decisions I make, and the things that I do are what I believe to be what he and Stefan wants...and this stement from you tells me that I am doing just that:

"It is just like, you always make sure you wont say anything that might be considered 'Not completely and fully backing Graal Online."

Everything I do, is done to benefit Graal

MarkB · #26 01-31-2004, 12:48 AM

immature. all of you.

Sadly, the most mature thing to do would be to completely ignore this.

But that would also mean ignoring the duties of modship.

Allowing people to throw trash in your face all day, simple will not do either.

Nick1988 · #28 01-31-2004, 05:32 PM

No, another thread was made for this discussion, so splitting this one was a waste of time, and I'm not moving posts over to it either....simple solution? Stop posting it here, and post your suggestions in the appropriate thread that was made

Scott, stop making your stupid spam posts that are nothing but illegible, bleeped out, cuss words, and I will stop deleting them.

I'm talking to everyone who is arguing about moderation in general. This is not the right place to be doing that.

To tell you the truth, there ISN'T a right place to make these arguments. We're silienced just that much.

Nah, they are letting us talk about it again...just can't say things they don't want us to.

dlang · #37 02-01-2004, 12:33 PM

This thread proves that something needs to be changed if such a commotion can be made over a single (and important) person. So don't split it.

Oh and I still stand behind Lance

I consider myself mature at my age, and Lance's posts always have good points.

I agree, when such things like namecalling or whatever happen in school, I just ignore them, or tell them to just stop.. most of the time. Sometimes I like to let loose (Who doesn't?), but I like to set an example for others if needed.

I already said that I will not slit this thread because there is already a thread started for this subject, I asked that you people go to that thread and post, but you have all shown that YOU have so little respect for Jagen as to keep it going here.

Everyone relax! The moon deities are here to save the day! Für Deutschland! für die Leute!
