Darth Groovy Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 All I want to do is burry the hatchet, and I keep getting all this animonsity. One member even decided to perputally hate everyone who has ever seen Star Wars. Doesn't give me a chance to burry the hatchet does it? After four days of this nonsense, I am physically exhausted from it. I am offering my apologies and humble freindship, if nobody excepts than have ya big glass of hater-aid, and suit yourselves.

Guybrush122 Posted May 24, 2003 Author Share Posted May 24, 2003 Originally posted by Huz This thread is the funniest on LucasForums. Congratulations Guybrush, you are an accomplished satirist! I wish I was just like you. Oh wow! You're using sarcasm! My God, no one has practiced sarcasm in ages! How clever of you! Feral: Listen to what you're saying. You telling me that you agree that some topics are closed necassarily...I'm assuming that means topics that have no harm and are carrying a harmless discussion? Like this one? Dude, don't close it. Please. Please, do me that favor...the favor that I asked for when I posted this thread. Just please, let discussions carry out, pointless or not, and let topics die. PLEASE ... its killing me and a fair amount of others. There may be so many people by tomorrow who will want to post in this topic but cant because you closed it. Seriously, this is a forum, not a country...we don't need to be so strict. Theres no harm in this topic. Please, keep it open for discussion. Thrik: If you don't like the harbor, why are you posting in it, dude? The point OF the harbor, really, is to post rubbish. Hence the whole "pull up a barstool, relax, and talk about anything" quote under its description. Acrylic: This is a forum. Banning people to enoforce sweet, false, politeness towards mods just aint gonna fly. Mods arent police officers or a supreme authority. Mods are members who are assigned to clear up issues like utter spam (like posting over and over and over again) or offensive things or banning people who actually offend people or damage the forum. They're not gods or cops or world leaders. This is the internet, it shouldn't be this controlled and serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 I will ask again for about the 15th time. What is it with the sudden obsession to close topics down? Similar topics have never been closed in the past and now it seems there is an obsession to close topics down. Can someone please answer me truthfully? I know obi-wan and someone else kind of answered me, which I am thankful But someone who knows this place a tad better should be able to give a more honest answer. This is all I am asking, I don't think it's too much to ask. Sheeeesh. I don't want to fight I just want someone to give me an honest answer why some topics have been closed for basically no reason when it's much easier to let some topics die naturally, especially if someone does want to reply to a topic they have to start up a new topic. Can we please reach some form of compromise? For the sake of us and for the sake of the moderators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Shutt Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Originally posted by AcrylicGuitar So Carl's a mod huh? Still doesnt mean he should talk to people like that. Like what? What am I missing here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 A good way to keep the moderators from closing topics would be to think over these simple guidelines before hitting "Submit". Does this thread really need to be posted? Does anyone *REALLY* care? (those "OMG I have had such a looooong day" threads) Am I posting this purely because I got 30 seconds of enjoyment out of it and feel an impulse to post it? (those "what porno are you?" and whatever threads) Will this spark off a decent thought-out conversation or just a string of mindless crap? (the "flirting thread" for example) I'm not trying to sound mean or anything, but there's way too much utter rubbish posted in this forum. Looking down the topic list brings about three decent threads and the rest are complete spam, to put it bluntly. I know this is off-topic and all, but you could at least try to have off-topic conversations in here rather than just posting anything that entertains you for 30 seconds.

Thrik Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Well maybe you should go and enjoy your "treasure" in another forum, because by the looks of it the mods here aren't happy with it due to the closings.

Yufster Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 There's a few people that hate this place and seem to want it shut down. Why don't you just go somewhere else?

NiKo Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 thrik, 2 words come to mind when i read your posts, screw you! (actually it was another word, but 'screw' seemed so much politer) "Well maybe you should go and enjoy your "treasure" in another forum, because by the looks of it the mods here aren't happy with it due to the closings." you have no right to speak, you're no longer a part of this forum anyway...so shutt up what, you think you're better than anyone in this forum?? everyone has the right to be here and talk about whatver he or she likes, as long as it's open for discussion! we are all friends here, and so, if someone posts a topic about how hard his day was or something, we discuss it! you antipathic prick! god, you make me so mad!

Darth Groovy Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Originally posted by Carl Shutt Oh. You mean the comment I made towards the whiny little toss who started this thread? It's not my fault you have a persecution complex. See that's exactly what Obi is getting at. You need to stop making comments like that. There are better ways of getting your point across by carefully choosing your words. Since you are a mod, you should set an example for others. The fact that such a small number of people even know you are a mod, only confirms my theory. Part of being a mod is to stop flaming, not to engage in it. Yes while it might seem like spam to some people, some of us might actually be having a conversation? True, and I get your point, but there are also chat rooms for that sort of thing. Why should we have to go elsewhere? Nobody should ever be run out of the place they love. Sometimes it is fun to peek out of the forum you are loyal too and see what is going on, but you will always go back to the places you love dearly. That is what brought me here in the first place. There's a few people that hate this place and seem to want it shut down. Why don't you just go somewhere else? I know lots of lovely places you could go. Are you that sad you need to stay here even though you hate it? Nobody wants to shut down this forum, lots of people love it dearly, why do you think I keep coming here? And no, it's not to close threads. Edit- As a side note, yes I was partially guilty for getting a couple of topics closed, I was wrong, the issue has been resolved, most of you have forgiven me, for which I am gratefull, it will not happen again, and we will stay in our place from now on, I promise! I still love this place, there are some truly charming people here, most of whom I lovingly refer to as "The Usual Suspects". I love close communites like this, and trust me, I don't want to be responsible for ruining anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Happy fun time. Issue resolved, thread clos...oh no wait Incidentally, if anyone does have any spare stamps please send them to Gabez, he's still secretly hoping for stamp collecting to appear on the agenda soon.

Joshi Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Wow! i'm seriously amazed that this thread has been able to accumulate 46 posts in less than 24 hours. usually takes about three days to cover a page. And here I was thinking this issue was resolved (and that was only about three minutes ago) and then I read this. Okay, time to add my crap and see what it does to the soup. Firstly Carl Shutt, in an attempt to make this world a better place, you read one persons suggestion and call him a whiny little toss. Well done, i'm sure that little comment will go down in history as the peacemaker speech of the century, you may get a prize. Secondly I agree with many people here, when you don't get no the wrong side of him, Obiwan is a great guy, but then again, what do you people care? He's a mod, mods don't deserve to be treated like human beings, that would just be to radical now wouldn't it? Thirdly Thrik, if you have an issue, have a tissue (okay, now someone guess the homage!), no seriously, you can't have everything, this forum merge brought a lot of great things, but with the good, come the bad and you have to learn to live with it, you can't have everything. Please remember that the escapemi people ahve been around for just as long as you guys, just because we've merged and you don't like them doesn't mean that you can kick them out, they have just as much of a right to be here as you. And you said that the mods around here don't seem to like us here. Can we have a show of hands? I think Feral doesn't mind, he's an escapemi like Natty and myself. Gabez? Well, he's had his say, and from that i think we can get some kind of likeness of the place (if not the dissapointment of finding no stamps). Remio. don't know, maybe he can tell us although i have my guesses. bgbennyboy, as above (so below). mymipage. well he probably doesn't even know what the harbor is, so we'll leave him out of it. Ed, yeah, that's likely. ... where am I? oh yeah, Fourthly Gabez... ...I have a penny black. Actually I know what one is. Actually I've heard the name. Well, I tried.
