Why was MythieYs thread closed?

[Jupitus]

So there is no rule on the FOA its just a matter of whim? jupitus even an "old guy" like you has to agree with a "old Girl" like me that a "maybe" rule will spark feelings of injustice and pondering on the Mods motive.

Ello hun *waves*

Any time a mod takes action, it is almost certainly going to be a matter of judgement on their part, and my post which Tears dug up was purely offering a change in their guildelines as to what would or would not be aceptable.

In this instance it may have been borderline, but frankly if it hadn't been closed under the FAO rules it would have been closed as add-whine anyway.

We'll never please everyone all the time, simple as that.

BTW - I am personally getting VERY sick of the 'this mod is in such and such guild and favours their members on the boards' shite. This is NOT the case... in fact the mods know that those kind of decisions are possibly going to come under closer scrutiny and are extra careful as a result. People making accusations of this kind are increasingly likely to face MY ban stick in the VERY near future unless they cease and desist etc etc etc...:touch:

what I find more interesting, than any whine about mods favouring crap on a stick or whatnot, is that you're not allowed to whine about this and that person, hell, half the game is bashing this and that person for this and that ridiculous whatnot, as it actually gives the board some meaning to everyone sitting on their butts at work being bored. bashing people tends to award some real golden comedy, and let's be realistic, people aren't going to go jumping off rooftops because someone was mean to them on teh intarweb, atleast so long as things don't go completely overboard. that's where moderators should come into the picture, actually keeping things somewhat in line, not going completely nazi on anyone saying "hey, you killed me you twat, you suck".

but I guess it's because I used to play on US servers and used to my morning comedythreads on the VNBoards. WTB @-posts!

This isn't a carebear forum by a long shot, but we do moedrate against particular downward trends (such as 'die irl' shit and add whine)... generally people get a pretty free rein, unless they go overboard.

 

[Gamah]

Thats true I generally take the piss and go moderately unmolested by mods :< obviously if I overstep the line I am punished, but this is not a care bear forum

I prefer the warning system, this time when I make a personal attack I get 10% warning, not a 3 day ban like the old days <3

 

[Gilbride]

might be that I haven't really been keeping my eyes out for the "die irl"-comments in most threads, that have been locked, but they do seem pretty carebear in general to me. no offense in particular, just an observation. but then again, my experience on FH isn't that long as of yet, we just rolled over here from US servers.

so in general, just noticed alot of threads being locked for no real reason at all, from my pov, sure someone told someone they sucked, and it was a personal attack, but to me, that's just normal, and more like ridiculous to lock.

so the nice friendly post closed by synergy mod with no profanity and in good spirit with footage of synergy adding when their GM said they didnt, was definety NOT and example of this?

it wasnt even an add whine post just happened to get brought up and someone had some footage. Was the kind of post that the RVR community revels in, was harmless but interesting and funny, the type of content that this community really comes here to read... but ofc unbias mods didnt think so, and it was closed in the name of making the forums a more enjoyable place to come.

Im sorry but I disagree with you because I know the people that are modding these forums better than you. I believe you would be strict if they kept on doing stuff like this, but the closed border approach to posting means we cant generally have open discussions about the things they would be tempted to close (bad PR posts), and if theres any hint of the word "add" then they have their license to close it even if its interesting and in good spirit.

the point about jarvio is also true. Regardless of what he did or whatever, the things being said at this person just about broke every rule in the FH handbook. That didnt get closed or edited. This had nothing to do with the fact there were mods on that raid and the more prolific slap and ban mobs play that realm and dont like this person??

Its ok to defend your team but I think you might need to wake up and smell the coffee a bit mate. Try and look at it from the view of what your customers and what community want rather than mold things the way you see fit. Recent poles confirm that the majority of peeps here do not like what mods are doing.

The people who post on these boards can be at times the most trying people who ever got their hands on a keyboard and I fully understand that Moderating a forum like this will always make you unpopular with someone.

That being said there have been occasions where not only the closing but also the wording of the Mod hinted to more than just a Mod doing their job. I have to agree with Censi that there is a picking order on these boards and some people seem to get away with MORE than others. Ban me if you must jupitus but I would rather be banned and have drawn your attention to a problem that is still in its infancy than having shut up because of fear of what you might do.

 

[Ryuno]

I never really understood all this "ban me if you want" shit, like you've done something wrong. Your speaking your opinion, and theres nothing wrong with that.

I think alot of people intentionally imply that the mods ban people left, right and center for merely uttering anything against the wishes of the Mods/Admin, just to try and empower their otherwise weak argument, that this is a nazy state or whatever.

P.S is faster than using the Report Post button?

No offense, but the free reign bit changed a lot since became (more) active on the Prydwen forum, as all the fun threads get locked :<
Sure, some of the stuff posted went a little far, but overall there wasn't any harm done, or that's my opinion on the FAO/adding stuff.

I'm not a brown nose, but I think mods do a good job 96% of the time,ok they only human get few wrong,
but hay know one is perfect there is only so much folk can take and if they didn't lock any threads most of you would moan they not doing there job?Little banter ok but dam it can go on and on.


ps...to many drama queens on fh

to the mods :worthy: :worthy:

i find myself agreeing with pip here ffs
Tbh honest though...only reason majoroty on FH wants free reigns is cause they like throwing shit and moan. If something really funny were written and not only fuck of you looser add twat or something similar in constructiveness, maybe the mods would be more impressed by that sence of humor
The forum is after all here( from what i understand) to give info and to discuss. A discussion leads nowhere once the add whine or the curses starts flying...so whats the point>? Do you really find it funny to see the words fuck retard and noob after 40 million times...comon...not even you guys ( the ones that likes it) can have that simplistic humor right? or get entertained by so little. if so ur not demanding much You can have that by browsing something else...im sure inet if full of it. And yes,,,,i can imagine as a human being in whatever jon ur doing if you see someone post a load of crap over and over , you get tired of him and treat him a bit different next time. Some of you shouldnt be suprised about that. You go on and on about add back on someone rest of ur daoc days cause he added on you once. So i dont blame the mods to keep an eye on someone that is a rotten egg.
Anyhow, keep it up mods...the ones that gives you critisism are mostly the ones destroying the discussions. So pay no heed to it.
over and out..

 

[pip]

im sure your not pip thats more your style

Well ok we look at it this way ? say your a officer of guild ? two guild members
Keeps slagin each other of what would you do? sit back let it happen? cause i it will cause a atmosphere within the community? no you would not you would want them both to behave just like the mods make for better place to be, to get along,dribble=crap

ps not called Preacherboypip- Thebabblingfool... for nothing hehe

Actually, in my opinion there's alot to be had from threads like that too, yes. I could really care less about the actual wording of the post, but the post itself states that "hey, there's some twat out there adding constantly on fights" or whatever it is, meaning people can treat him differently, or know to expect nothing less, after all, some people tend to try and hold a certain policy to fg vs fg-fights, or 1 vs 1 fights, and w/o the bullshit-spewing that comes along with that info, you don't really get the info either. So there's actually some worth out there in these threads. And then again, yes I can find VNBoards to be extremely comical in their full load of bs-spewing, as some things that end up being said are extremely funny in their context. However, it'd be fun if it was possible to relate to where you're actually playing ;o I E, not VNBoards anymore, since we've left US-servers.

I understand what you mean. But that is pointless on FH anyhow since if you had followed discussion here on FH you would learn after the 4 million add posts that the thread starter that starts to moan or the other moaners in the same post, always is exposed as an adder himself. Usually the moaner is so frustrated and angry that he cannot contain his anger towards whoever added on him that he spews his frustration out in a whine....and then maybe after 50 contra posts against him he realise " ow im a hypocrite and added myself a 100 times". So what we always get to read is a lot of bull from people that do the same thing And usually the really "honorable" people dont whine here...
Thats almost a keyrule here that you can take to heart. if they whine here....they usually added themself and all it proves is that they have a strong daoc adiction and have some problem to contain their frustration.
Also at least a big part of the people posting and not posting are people that doesnt share ur or others view of adding and wanna play the game without whine and happely kill all red names as they always have. And they get kinda tired when they see these posts all the time.

Also you mentioned that it would be good for rest of the comunity to see who added, to after that sort of remember him and treat him differently. Hmm...not sure i like things like that tbh. Ok in a society were ALL people have the exact same view and someone breakes a common law/rule. But in a comunity this diverse im not sure a few are gonna be able to make their own witch hunts and crusades against another guy cause he have his own opinion in this game.
But then again nothing stops you to do that But as i mentioned here on exc/pryd you would fast notice that the very people you come across pointing fingers will backstab you next day and in end you would have hunted down and killed all the people you thought had "ur" view in the end
Over and out...
