benjoyce Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Yep, I actually found it out, that someone.... wants to get out of here, and I find it very cowardly to Threaten me with personal Mesages, and by locking up topic that were fun to others, and me. If he has some problems with me, tell me personally, by mIRC, Metallus, but don't alienate me from others, and don't make me quit personally, because youn are trying to kick me out! So Puh-leeze, stop that annoying Threatening with punshing me. I am woving for a better, friendlier forum, where everybody can be her/himself, and there is no need for being unctuous! Thanks in advance, In the keen waiting for a friendlier, non-censored world, benjoyce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Yeah, way to not use names, 'joyce. I wasn't flaming you or anything; I wasn't even threatening. I was warning you to the fact that you should not be posting so rapidly on these forums, and the PM system is the best way to send warnings. Don't ostracize me or anyone on these forums please, or you'll get yourself into trouble. Don't cross the line into harrassment or you'll be out of here fast. You're on thin ice already. Is it "cowardly" to PM you to try to settle it without prying eyes being able to read whatever dispute we may have? I was trying to save you the embarassment. Cowardly would have been to delete all the posts anonymously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNNER Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 From what it looks like Metallus was taking the right approach by telling you with out having to do it in public. Most people would like to be told without having the whole world now and that is what he did. But then you decide to start a thread about it. That looks like your asking for trouble. Next time just reply back to the PM, no need to air your dirty laundry for all of us to read. Beside Metallus is a SM so he has the last word. If he thinks you did something wrong then get over it and move on. No need to make a stink about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Benjoyce- if this is the way you're gonna behave, I may not know Metallus very well (unlike others who know him really well) but I have no doubt he would never threaten or abuse anyone (unlike me hehehe I'm not happy unless I'm abusing someone ) Anyway, my point is, if you're gonna whinge and complain about someone taking the mature option and trying to settle this privatly, which is what Metallus did, rather than embaressing you in public, you are nothing but an immature twat- and in my opinion, if you continue to behave like the twat you obviously are, my suggestion is someone ban the annoying prick The End Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_xxxxx Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Call me crazy, but I feel that there was no need to close ben's topic about the Stan-store. Sure, it was a nonsense-topic, but it was fun, and a lot of topics we post are also nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raVen_image Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Originally posted by the_xxxxx Call me crazy, but I feel that there was no need to close ben's topic about the Stan-store. Sure, it was a nonsense-topic, but it was fun, and a lot of topics we post are also nonsense I won't call you crazy at all. I have to admit: locking that post seemed a little extreme. Sure there was not much "topic" in it, but that is the norm for a lot of postings. Locking a post should be reserved for offensive content. Metallus asked: "Does anyone mind if I lock this?" well, I don't ...but I do question the maturity of that decision. However, I DO approve of his decision to chastise someone in private message. Saying things like: Originally posted by Natty Ben shutup- if you don't have anything intelligent to say then don't friggen say anything at all Gawd I don't remember you being such a twatface with the old forums ...serves no purpose and I really question the wisdom of a moderator who plays at this in public.

Rufio Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 in all honestly metallus, the EMI dot com harbor forum is basically 80% of non-topic posts. this one however was in keeping with the MI theme at least. i am in no way trying to circumvent your authority, but i find no reason for the post to have been locked. as for benjoyce, i think it was pretty un-koser for you to call out metallus in public after he kept it just between you and he. so you were both wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallus Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Ok, I understand you guys completely. I've unlocked it, sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmatz Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 Remember me, Ben? Good, then you'll know that I'm with Metallus on this one. All you ever did at the MILegend forums was post,post,post,post: even if you had no idea wtf to say. I must say that is so retarded, and maybe you should only talk in topics where you have a somewhat intelligent answer. I mean, if the topic is a question, then, yeah, answer. But, if there's like this whole convo going on, don't jump in like you know what's going on. You always bothered me... For everyone else, Don't think I'm an asshole because of this post. I just dislike joyce greatly, and, from now on, I will not argue with him about anything. Enjoy your time at the forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtBlanc Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 Awww...precious. And I do agree with raVen about how we should watch what we say, and not do anything to increase tension in the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 Yeah, I thought there would be some bad blood between the adventure/SW communities, but there seems to be more friction within each genre. Allegedly the XWA and RS forumgoers hate each other's guts, but now that the forums are in the same place they have to learn to live with each other. We all need to try to make this work, because, in a sense, there's no going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raVen_image Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 I shall retract my earlier critisism and commit to the "no friction" policies. Metallus reversed the lock ...apologized and explained himself well. Good show. I, too, apologize for my reactionary comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 Ah, I thought it was a fair point. I'm not modding the Escapemi.com boards anymore anyway; they're sufficiently modded as is, and they don't need an "outsider" supermod mucking around . Like I said in another post, I'll just report whatever grievance or problem that goes on to a resident moderator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
