Is anyone else sick of...

Re: Is anyone else sick of...

So really, you're bitter about a ban you thought was unjustified (and which would have been for -1- whole day, you poor man) and decided to conclude I was an unfit mod?

As an aside, the "who made the last 25 bans" thing is how I usually respond to people who say I'm too heavy on the banhammer, and the results are -always- similar. As in, I've done that four or five times over the past several -months- and at no point am I the top, and rarely even in the top 3 givers-out of bans. So again, I'm not sure where you're getting this impression of me.

I don't see why anyone should care about there post count at all.

Re: Is anyone else sick of...

I'm -always- willing to listen to an explanation about behavior that I've banned for, and as -Yukari- mentioned, I -often- lift or shorten ban lengths after such a thing happens.

Just thought I'd point out that that was actually me.

he is always willing to hear testimony and even griping about bans - half the time he lifts the ban, or lessens the severity.

Re: Is anyone else sick of...

I was also thinking of this:

He even discussed the length with me and admitted he had been harsh about it.

But yeah, I misquoted.

Re: Is anyone else sick of...

You discussed a ban with me one time as well and you lifted mine early after we talked about it.

I'm not trying to suck up to the mods or anything either - trust me, I don't envy that job one bit and I would never want it. I'm just saying what I've observed and experienced.

I know you're not so naive as to believe that most people form their opinions based on anything like facts, right?

Re: Is anyone else sick of...

Well, in that particular instance my ban was for like 3 weeks or something, and you agreed it should be something more like 2. I forget what it came up to be but when we talked about it, you were pretty understanding. Yeah if your ban is 2 days and it's decreased to 1, that's nice too, but Devonin's even willing to discuss the bigger bans, and admit when he was a bit too harsh.

No mod's perfect but no poster is either, and at least if some mods will admit their imperfections, you have a better administration than a lot of message boards I've seen.

EDIT: Oh, no, lmao, foil, it was me too.

Stand in some other people's shoes for once. There are a whole bunch of reasons why some people use the forums and they are obviously not going to be the same as yours.

Just think about how users are treated.
Your treated well if: your name is recognized, your post count is large, you have a coloured name.
Your treated badly, generally, if: you have a low post count, no avatar, no signature, you aren't recognized. (Usually it's a combination of two or more.

Re: Is anyone else sick of...

There are users with few posts who get respect.

There are users with many posts who get little respect.

It can be deserved in both cases.

- Rate the Above persons avatar/signature/person.
- lol hi tgb gais
- ffr is gey gais
- something about the same bug that everyone has posted about
- another random **** thread etc....

Is anyone else sick of getting a post count raise from these?
So what, in those categories I'd say many of us have about +200 posts....

I remember last year, when the conversations we had (among other things) were worth something. Why not a few more of those good conversations?

So you go on this cute little rant about how you're sick of these kinds of threads raising your post count because they are essentially contentless (i.e. no discussion) and are fundamentally postwhoring, etc.

Then you proceed to do this:

Welcome :]

Do you think this post of yours is worth a +1? And is it somehow not a worthless post on your part?

Re: Is anyone else sick of...

Dude, I'm sick of it too, but that's ok because FFR has a magical place called the garbage bin. Noobs don't go there and it's funny. Oh, and all this Devonin knocking is retarded. You guys only think he thinks he knows everything because your mind is telling you that. Look at Rubix, he's always being hated for being really smart. Well, ****ing deal, because there are smarter people out there then you, and there's no need to have be all jealous about it.

Not always...


All of you are assessing the effects of an individual post. I think in order to really understand the main problem here, we need to think on a 'bigger' scale.

Here is what I think. I think that in order to understand what the main problem is, we need to think on a 'bigger' scale. Individual posting isn't the problem.. the internet is full of sarcastic assholes. It's bad topics that destroy forums. A few bad topics, yeah, bound to happen, but go look through CC. It's full of nonsensical threads about "post your favorite musician". "Post about the previous users avatar". Threads like these attract postwhoring and spam. How on Earth are you supposed to build any decent conversation in a thread like that? What's the point on even having it?

As a matter of fact, when I posted that I thought the same thing. I couldn't be bothered to change it, because who else would? It's an introduction, I hardly post in them anyways.

And, yes, it's a worthless post.

And along your point, an introduction thread isn't usually contentfull. :\
