This thread was more fun before alke came to suck on the mods' nuts.
In that case, who cares? I even keep notes on certain members from events that occurred years ago. Granted, I can't ban them, but that's a personal matter, nothing to do with the actions of moderators as a whole.
Teetotalers when we are logged on. () This is the only way to properly detect the drunken OT posters.
Nobody really cares about your financial issues, especially in the context of this discussion.wow just wow. That's a bit nuts, and sadly you aren't the only one. I love getting old quotes of mine sent to me taken out of context as if it validates something in my life today.
The best were when I posted here and was broke and stuff. The funny part was I kept saying I was working on fixing that.
and I have.
Freedom of speech is only an NNFT away.
Ok, so you just repeated yourself yet again. Aside from that PCAbusers thing (which still had a direct relation to Anandtech) the evidence provided did involve this forum, and I question the claim that activity external to a given forum should be ignored. If some guys on another forum openly coordinated a goatse attack, do you see anything wrong in alerting ones fellow moderators of it?
EDIT: Unfortunately, I too am due for bed. I have posts #1 through this one saved, and hope that others will preserve the rest for sufficient lulz in case I wake up to find this thread missing.
OK so here's the basic story - I won't name any names or go into specifics. BTW my bro (GA) has no motive to lie to bend the truth - he doesn't really care about being banned and doesn't hold any grudges or anything (on Skype with him at the moment).
- GA saw this thread so went on over to the open mod forums to check it out.
- He posted early on in this thread that he was taking a look.
- Many members saw that he was noseying around and PM'd asking if he found anything juicy.
- My bro says the mod forum was completely banal and he didn't find a single interesting thing. There were a couple of anal retentive thread-starters who complained constantly and a couple of users who had a habitual history of bitching about others. I asked him to forward me anything worth having but he says there's really nothing worth looking at.
- In response to some PM's he basically told people how lame it was and there's nothing worth discussing. My bro and Mosh have a bit of a history so they were joking and PM'ing back and forward about some of the lamer users and their hilarious discussions with mods.
- There was nothing malicious and no scheming to take down the system or anything stupid like that. It was completely pedestrian.
- He doesn't think Mosh actually saw or disseminated anything.
He also says that the mods are free to divulge his entire PM history to support all of this - he doesn't really care.
...or perhaps you guys have a different interpretation of the word "banal" in kiwi land?
Bull...
Unjust 'vacations' give one even more animosity ... it doesn't make them 'think more'...
i've got 2 infractions (worth about 9 points each) that IMO were given unjustly because 'they look at your history' instead of the issue itself.
"well, this person was a pain in the ass in the past... he's probably being a pain in the ass again... ban"
this doesn't give one incentive to 'think more next time'... when people play the Jump To Conclusions game.
just look at this thread itself..
"Well, GA was an ass in the past... he probably did it... good thing he's banned now"
noone knows the truth about what happened except GA and the mods/admins.
Nobody really cares about your financial issues, especially in the context of this discussion.
Why would I keep notes on you?boo hoo hoo, it was relevant because you are probably also one that keeps notes on me.
boo hoo hoo.
