Acrylic is a moronic spammer, perhaps not so much on this forum, but on the other Lucasforum communities. He has demonstrated homophobia, stupidity, insolence, and yet more stupidity in the last couple of months alone. And this really could havve gone in either the already-created topic or as a PM, or even on AIM. Closing thread. If anyone has a problem with that, you know where to reach me.

Oh, and sorry about the double posts and the problems with post count on the Harbor overview...the server dipped jsut as I was merging the 2 threads

 

Ok, then we do like this: You give me all (yes all) url to those topic thats not deleted and I will check them up. If I not get them in a week I will still blame you for closing those topics.

[Feral]

Which topics do you mean? The ones that Acrylic made? I'll edit this post and add them afterwards.

If you're referring to your thread, it's merged with this one; I got it wrong, though, and merged your thread into GB122's instead of the other way round, then the server dipped as I was merging. GB122 can back me up on this.

Besides which, this is ridiculous. I had good reason to close those threads and no matter if I provide links or not, the reasons are just as valid. But, I'll do it anyway.

I don't see what your problem is, Isak...head stuck up your arse, is it?

[Faith]

ok ok, i think its time to agree to disagree here! I know youre getting annoyed feral, like sum1 sed chill... and acrylic guitar... chill... every1s right in sum ways n wrong in others, so shudnt we just leave it @ dat?

[Feral]

OK, got them. I jsut did a search for the word "avatar" by user "AcrylicGuitar", to look for one specific post, but a whole load of them came up. And almost every single link I clicked had AG spamming in it. I took down a few, then decided to test; if I searched for posts by AcrylicGuitar, and clicked on them randomly, how many could I get?

I stopped when I got to ten, but I reckon there are around 200 spams in AG's name. I kid you not.

Anyway, here's the links.

gee, feral, wot a warm welcome-back! u must have missed me

wots that? no really, i dont know.

 

 

i can assure u all that no1 here has the same exact concepts about closing topics, choosing mods and spamming. its very relative, thats y ppl need to b very carefull.

 

 

for instance, the topic about religion (the original one, b4 it spread all over the forum) should have been left intact. it was a discussion after all, if ppl ddnt want to have that discussion, ppl wouldnt reply. nevertheless, it was closed.

 

another example, andrei's banning. as gb122 said, u were banning him because of his flamming and banning, and most of you had done worse.

 

and about choosing mods: none of us is impartial about either banning or giving mod abilities to any1. thats y democracy wouldnt work, but thats also how nothing works. lets just face it, its kinda pathetic to give it a bigger importance than it really has.

 

 

i couldnt access the topics u posted due to some troubles with LF's database. but u would be surprised if u searched for the word "back" by me, or "wall" by niko, or how many lines gb122 left blank in each of his posts. and that just doesnt annoy me. if that annoys u, u gotta work on your chill abilities. if u'r just annoyed by AC way of comunicating, then u should remember that life is much more fun when we accept ppl how they r.

 

 

and u know wot? if ESCAPEMI.COM forums are slower and slower everyday, its because some of you keep filling it with rules. yall must chill. ppl go around looking for posts that they could classify as spam, or flaming, and thats not how its supposed to work. try to b as flexible as possible, otherwise it will just get bored and ppl will leave.

 

i could speak more, but gb122 has said it all

[Al-back from the BigWhoop]

on another hand, u may aswell dont read my last post. i ll leave it there (intentionally - no deleting plz), cause its really a shame to waste all that time. if any1 wants to read it, be my guest.

 

 

 

i ll just post a message (specially to feral, since its his trial, but it should apply to every1). just let them be.

[Deadmeat_X]

Right, late as always and too lazt to read those long post, Deadmeat sais:

 

-To feral: let it flow man! No seriously, the best way of running a forum is not running it, or sometihng like that anyway. It's not like the place is gonna fall apart if you don't close senseless topics. In fact,s enseless topics may be the only fun on this forum. Please let 'em open. Sure, ppl spam, but what the heck. Do you really care that someone is spamming? I know we used to have 'spamming frenzies', and those topics rocked, imo.

-To feral part2: You're sometimes...well, I would call it abusing...overusing your powers. For example (I don't know if you did it, if you didn't sorry) when the topic about the grandma (or an other familymember, my memory is ****) that died was made sticky...there was no point for that, no matter how nice it looked.

-To feral part3: It's true that AG sometimes spams, and even is annoying sometimes, but it's not like he's a 'bad guy' or something. If you're annoyed by his behaviour, just tell him on pm, don't go destroying him in public

-To everone: What's with all the double posts?

-To everyone part2: Why does it say that GB122 is the threadstarter for this topic

[Feral]

I didn't make the topic about DS's grandmother a sticky. In fact, I was going to de-stick it, but I hate it when people go against my mod decisions, so I didn't.

I didn't "publicly attack" AG, as you and Isak claim. I said that he wouldn't make a good moderator. In fact, ths is all Isak's fault. If he had left it at that, or just kept it private (as he should have done), I wouldn't have had to elaborate on why. Isak was the one that asked me to post the links.

And why, precisely, am I "on trail"? For speaking the truth, a truth that you refuse to accept?

The double posts by me & GB122 were because GB122 started a similar thread and I merged them. Unfortunately, the server went down for just a couple or minutes in the middle of the merging process, leading to GB122 being shown as the thread starter.

 

Frankly, this whole subject as absurd. It's been blown totally out of proportion by members too blind to see plain fact or to accept when they're wrong, such as Isak. And, ultimately, I was just trying to do a good job, and now I'm getting flamed for it. Well, excuse me for being good at the task assigned to me. I think you should also be blasting Metallus, Obi-Wan, and Murta, because I know that they agree with what I'm doing. And now, I'm going to be frank. I know I'm not the only one who thinks this either, because, once again, Metallus and Murta agree with me.

This place is dying, and it's not because of a lack of discssion or members. Look at MixnMojo. Teir community is thriving. This forum is dying because of the stupidity and mob mentality of it's members.

Whenever we get a troublemaker, we get a thread with about 40 replies falming that member. You don't seem to realise that if you ignore them, they will go away. It's not a diffcult concept. What makes it worse is that it is moderators that are leading the charge (specifically, NiKo, Natty and GB122), instead of doing their jobs and simply reporting it to an admin.

You seem to think that the best way out of prolem is to form an attack. And it's not just one of you; it's a whole crapload of people, flaming away. That's just absurd. Report it to a mod or an admin, and it'll get sorted. Again, it's not exactly rocket science.

Accually, if I remember right, Metallus would rather have the moderators tell the admins of the problems than the members, or it could show that the moderators arent doing their job. Otherwise, I completely agree with you.

[Feral]

Yes, but Natty, Niko and GB122 are moderators. Maybe not of The Harbor, but they are still moderators of the community.

[Kjølen]

Thats what I said, read it again

[Guybrush122]

When a trouble maker comes to forums I think we should duke it out. Better for everyone, troublemaker and flamers of the troublemaker, to say what they wanna say. I'd rather exchange arguments, and if it gets to far (as it usually does) or if it gets way too old (a la mek) then an administrator should be informed. But, you have to admit, a troublemaker keeps us frequently coming to the forums. When someone IM's you on ICQ or AIM telling you about what that arse (blank) did then you rush to the harbor like it was a call to arms. It keeps people thriving in the forums.

 

Now, don't get me wrong, if the troublemaker is just intrested in childish insults that make no sense (ie **** you, ill kill you, you ****ing bitch) or if he/she is just a plain idiot then by all means, inform an administrator. But if a troublemaker presents an argument we SHOULD continue to argue. It's HEALTHY for Christ's sake.

[Feral]

No, it's what I like to call "stupid". They're only going to keep coming back if we give them something to argue about.

Oh, and another AG spam alert: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=967375#post967375

[Joshi]

i dunno, it depends. i just had a heated discussion with someone on a different forums, but that was a reasonable argument. if someone came along and said "Monkey is crap!!!" then i wouldn't argue, i'd just ignore the idiot. but the argument i was having earlier was about the ending to MI2 adn whether guybrush is really just a kid or not. that, i would consider, is a reasonable argument and one worth argueing about.

If you block me, okay... Then I know you are a bad moderator. But I put my membership on that. If that's needed to telling you how a moderator should be like, then it's worth it.

 

No one has the right to judge any one according to her/his decision in front of a group of people to order her/him out.

 

If you have a complaint, maybe you should send him a PM, instead of posting a thread against him.

 

I think Feral has done a great job most of the time, although some of his comments in this thread are a bit objectionable. Aside from that, keep up the good work Feral.

 

Oh, and happy new year everyone!

 

[Natty]

I might not be a mod of the harbor (and even when I check old school which I *am* a mod of, IMO there never seems to be any problems) and since nothing ever seems to

 

A- post in old school

B- there are no real problems in old school (least IMO)

 

I don't feel like I am a mod- which makes me think that the mods need to be re looked at and reconsidered (not that theres anything wrong with the mods- I'm talking more specifically about people who are mods but haven't posted in like 6months or something) and in that case should those who are mods and still post on a regular basis be made overall mods? I'm not saying this because I want a more active role. I just don't think you can have a forum which functions well when half the mods are never here- that's all I'm trying to say (sorry if it's came out wrong, I know what I mean) I post on a music forum, and the mods there don't do anything at all, the board is overrun with abusive and insulting posts, death threats and so on- I'd hate for this forum to end up the same way

 

However, if there is a problem in the harbor and someone feels like a mod isn't doing his job or isn't responding to complaints, then please feel free to contact me and I will see if I can help out in some way. I have Feral on MSN so I can contact him there.

 

I wonder if it's a good idea for all *active* mods to swap say email addy's/MSN/ICQ at least that way if there is a problem in whichever forum/s that hasn't been attended to

[Guybrush122]

[Feral]

That's why I linked you directly to the other topic made for direct feedback about the points system.
