| 235674 | 2004-05-12 00:16:00 | Ok, I've been busy with web design work & the lack of bandwidth (long story... for another wet day in Auckland :D ;)) has stop me from surfing Press F1 as much as I use to for a the last week or so, but I have been reading one or two threads, then today I see this sticky, now I have not read this thread entree I have just skim read over it & now before I continue I have to say that Bruce Buckman & robo do a Good job Moderating this forum. Yes I have to agree & say Press F1 does get the ode person who tries to pump us with hot air e.g. Aroc & the alike but that is not often & if every one reported bad posts to Bruce & robo like I do instead of replying to them & turning them in to a flam thread every one would get one a lot better & if some people take some time away from the computer & /or Press F1 as well e.g. Billy T should of realised as soon as Aroc started posting in his WFTWE that he should of stopped posting/making them for a few weeks & should off e-mail Bruce & robo & told them that Aroc was causing trouble ( I am only guessing here that he(Billy T) did not, but I could be wrong here) If Bruce & robo do decide to make a couple of users Moderators then these people I would vote for Godfather, Graham L, Susan B, Jen C. & Chilling_Silence & A few others Also I am putting my hand up as a volunteer as well.

| 235675 | 2004-05-12 00:18:00 | > But then, you've said plenty of stuff > youself -- under the guise of "not conforming" I > assume I'm the first to admit that I will make inflammatory comments, perhaps not as regularly now as I used to, but thats life, people do that. The way a lot of people handle themselves around here is pretty aggravating a lot of the time. I noticed that the comment regarding letting some posters get away with being dergatory to others was blithely passed by. If you yourself are going to create double standards then why should anyone else follow the rules. It's alright for you to delete an entire thread that was rough on Billy T, yet you won't post edit if it's rough on me, hell there is a user still posting here that started an entire hate thread because I contradicted him a few times and nothing was done about it. With regard to 'conforming' is the fact that I (and others) don't want to join in the obscenely closed clique here. This place is pretty hard to penetrate as a new person joining because the majority of the regular core users are so locked off from reality and change. It's all personal in-jokes and damned near scripted out threads. If a new person doesn't laugh when every one else does, or kiss ass when every one else does they are immediately ostracized. It's hardly conducive to encouraging new people to post. |

I'm sorry, but I did not ignore it. I said: >I'm trying to be productive here, and locking editing this thread won't achieve that, so I've let comments stand. >You are not wrong that at times some people get jumped on more because of who they are than what they have actually said in a particular thread. I also pointed out that unless I'm told about problems, I can't fix them. How many times have you emailed me complaining about comments in a post? I do not have bloody ESP. |

Looks like you'll have to get the sack ;-) It does seem rather sad that an open discussion cannot be had about controlling the flames that fly without a few sparks being seen :-( Im with Tony and nzStan Chill . |

Some people have all the dream jobs.... Meanwhile I'm looking at this pile of work on my desk and thinking I wish I can play Americas Army right now. |

| 235682 | 2004-05-12 01:12:00 | > I think this place is too incestuous to have user mods, there is a core of 20 or so people that treat this place like their own personal playground. > They already run around like wannabe mods, only when it is to the defence of their allies, you only need to go through a few threads and it's pretty easy to spot who it is. Well said WTF, couldn't have said it better myself. > The existing mods also seem happy to ignore posts, regardless of content if it's done by particular people. The amount of ****-slinging that a certain person with the namesake of a much missed maori comedian makes on the sly, masked under the guise of semi-intellectual obscure words that goes completely untouched is ridiculous. That guy treats pretty much everyone on the forum like something he scraped off his shoe and gets away with it. Absolutely, yet they seem to be blinded by the truth. > Realistically there probably isn't a requirement for more moderation, the clique needs to be broken up and loosened up a bit. If they can't handle the odd snide comment, usually deserved then it's them with the problem. Yes it's like they can't defend themselves even when they deserve a particular comment, "____ is being mean to me, please lock the thread, waah waah"... They seem all too happy to give people crap, but can take none in return. Who made the comment about making BillyT a moderator? That has got to be the most insane thing I've heard all week. That person starts all the bickering with his high and mighty greater than thou attitude. If you're thinking about making BillyT a mod, make WTF, StevieRay and myself mods too. We will endeaver to delete WTFWE threads as soon as they begin. That would solve 80% of the "flame wars" around here unless they could "invent" WTFWLE, which stands for WTFW Locked Edition. My login wouldn't even exist if it weren't for him. Bruce, stop deleting my accounts. My comments merely give people a reality check they need. Granted they aren't as nice as they could be, but how else do you keep those posters in order. Hardly anyone else even tries and are just happy to overlook abuse from these "PF1 elite". |
