Guybrush122 Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Well, I was just wondering, and I don't want to jump down any throats or point any fingers, but why so many closed topics? I mean, yeah, I know now that the porn movie thing has been debated. But why have topics like "What are you" and "Look at my great forums" and "What song are you listening to, now?" and "My MSN is broken" been closed? (I know in the latter thread, "My MSN is broken" the problem was fixed...but isn't it just rediculous to close something like that? Somebody ELSE might have an MSN problem or something) I'm just asking why. I'm not asking for someone to tell me I should stop whining, grow up, and deal with it. I'm not asking for anyone to snap at me or tell me I'm being stupid. I'm just asking for an explaination, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Before Natty blames it all on me, let me just say I closed one topic. I thought it was the right thing to do, because I didn't find it appropriate for a set of forums on the LFNetwork. We've debated this for long, grueling hours in private, but it's over now.

Natty Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Yes and the result of the debate was? Don't you think we have a right to know? Or are you going to use the "we're mods so we're better you don't have a right to know because you're not mods" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guybrush122 Posted May 23, 2003 Author Share Posted May 23, 2003 obi-wan...don't make this thread an attempt to defend yourself. whoever closed the topics listed in my first post, well, i would like an explaination from. and, obi, dont take this in any way personal or aggressive, but just because natty disapproves of the closed topics, doesnt mean shes a twit who blames in on people without thinking. shes better than that.

obi Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Guybrush, I am in no way shape or form trying to make this thread into something of my defence. I was just stating that I thought I had a reason for my actions, and Natty says "Mods are on a power trip," which is not the case, trust me. And Natty, the result of the meeting is that there will be more communication among the staff of LF. Incidents like this in the future will now no longer be expected. Rejoice.

Guybrush122 Posted May 23, 2003 Author Share Posted May 23, 2003 Obi-Wan: You still haven't given a reason, now have you? Dude, fine. We get it. You good, us bad, right? Just tell me why mods closed the topics I listed...and if you don't know (I dont' see how you couldn't, you're a mod) then either state so or just don't post. Because this is going to wind up a brawl instead of a discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 I can't speak for other mods, only they can speak for themselves. I CAN say why I closed the one thread I did. I though it was inappropriate, as I have said at least 29 times in the past 3 days. edit- the thread I closed was the "what porn are you" thread.

Since I think all (or most) of those were closed by the same mod you might want to ask him/them. In a personal message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guybrush122 Posted May 23, 2003 Author Share Posted May 23, 2003 Just as another question...if only one mod closed all those threads, why haven't the other mods seen fit to unclose them? I mean, it appears at a glace that no one really did anything or said anything or thought twice about these closed topics. Why? I mean, it sounds like you're agreeing that these topic closing didnt have much validity behind it, Remio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 In RemiO's defense, he might see that the topics deserved to be closed. Then again, I'm not RemiO, so I can't speak for him. That sort of goes back to my previous post in this thread, that I can only speak for myself, and not represent others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Well, in that case did you agree with every single topic that was closed, such as the "what are you" topic "look at my great forums" and "my MSN is broken" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guybrush122 Posted May 23, 2003 Author Share Posted May 23, 2003 Originally posted by obi-wan13 In RemiO's defense, he might see that the topics deserved to be closed. Um... I'm not attacking RemiO, so there's no point for you to "defend" him. Then again, I'm not RemiO, so I can't speak for him. You're a genius.

obi Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 When I say "defend," I do not literally mean get out a gun and stand by his side. I mean, I am just offering words that might be used for his case. And do not be sarcastic like that, it really bugs me. I'm trying to make peace here, and all this is not helping one bit. If you hate me, fine, just don't show it on the forums. Report me to an admin if you see fit. Natty: your song topics I do agree with about the closing. The "what are you" thread had some intense stuff in it, but these forums are different, I now understand, so that may or may not be allowed here. It's debatable, but I'm not debating it. The 'look at my great forums' thread: I don't think advertising your forum in a new thread is acceptable, at least not on JKII.net. But as I pointed out, you guys have a different veiw of things I was not aware of. Closing of that thread didn't harm me, and I don't see how it harmed you, so I guess there was no harm in closing that thread. "My MSN is broke" : I guess it could've remained open for future use of MSN breaking from someone else. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 I deliberatly went out of my way to get the song threads closed, although the Christina Aguleria one did have discussion going on so that's still debatable. the look at my great forums topic in no way needed to be closed, it was for a fan game for goodness sake, all he wanted was people to check out a forum for a game he's made. What on earth is wrong with that? What are you?- there's more intense stuff on these forums such as wanting to have sex with Bill Gates (and that's no offence to Yufster, I adore her) yet those threads remain open, seems hypocritical to me. None of these sort of topics have ever been closed before, just seems strange that all of a sudden topics that have never bothered mods before are now getting closed. Hence why I said the mods are on a power trip. I know that doesn't apply to everyone however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Well, as for the "my forum" thread, I'm sure no harm is done in closing it, either. He or she wanted you to sign up for his or her set of forums. The link is still there, so anyone who wants to can sign up. I'm glad all this is behind us, though. I used to come here a lot untill I got very busy doing things to get my life going forward. I would like to come here again as frequently as I used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Originally posted by Natty I don't even know who closed some of those topics. Probably people I've never even heard of Well, let's see... "What are you" Closed by murta - original EscapeMI mod. "My MSN is broken" Closed by SPY_jmr1 who I don't know who is. "Look at my great forums" Closed by the original author. "What song are you listening to, now?" Not locked. Anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 I didn't know you could close your own topic? I tried doing that once and couldn't get it to close I got told that only a mod has the power to close topics. And the song thread, I don't mean the "what song are you listening to now" thread, but I know murta closed the one I'm thinking of. In all fairness I'm suprised murta closed NiKo's topic. He didn't even give a reason, other than something like "I'm a nazi mod who likes to close topics" which in that case I don't want that sort of person as a mod of this forum.

The only reason he said that is because that is how people make him feel. People think mods are "nazis" because they got a thread or two closed....who cares? Why must everyone take it so freaking personal. This has been going on for three days now, why make such an issue out of it? And Natty, why must you insult obi, so much, he was just trying to make his peace, and I have seen you blast him in about three seperate threads now, the guy does not have anything personal towards anyone, so please relax and give him a break eh?

Natty Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 I never called any mod a nazi. And like I said it's never bothered the mods in the past so all I wanted to know what changed. Is that such a horrible thing? That is all I am after, why have the mods suddenly decided that some topics should be closed down when these sort of topics have never bothered them in the past? And no one has still answered my question on why posts about wanting to have sex with Bill Gates are allowed to remain open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully the whole thing seems to be over now, but how about you spare us this condescending "get over it" spiel? Coming from you, it strikes me as more than a little hypocritical.

Darth Groovy Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Matter of opinions my freind. I see spam, I deal with it, sure I brought it to someone elses attention... sue me. A good majority of mods and supermods all know each other, and we converse about topics throughout LF, to get second opinions. Apparently, I was not the ONLY one that saw spam. As far as I am concerned, it wasn't a big deal until so many people got on the defensive bandwagon about it. Also, what you consider to be spam is also a matter of opinions. Natty, I never saw the topics in question posted over here before, so I don't know what you are talking about. Again...sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
