bad mods and users




Posted by Robb4248

Ive seen some bad users in my time in the forums, abusive, harassive, like that, and mods do nothing about it. Now, the mods are into it. So, why cant the modsdo their job, and tend to the posts? Does anyone else notice this?




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

No, nor do I care.




Posted by Robb4248

well, you can keep not caring, but i think the mods need a wake up call, and they need it now.

Quoting Vampiro: No, nor do I care.

And I think that speaks for everyone here.

If you dislike the forum, and the people in it, then leave.



Posted by Robb4248

i think you should start doing your job

Quoted post: i think you should start doing your job


Get out.



Posted by Robb4248

after all, that is what you should be doing

...keeping the posts modded! ive seen rules brokeand nothing done and im tired of it

Posted by brownoystercult

Answer the question you blitheral idiot.




Posted by The Judge

You're tired of it eh? Well, perhaps you could site some of these places where rules have been broken that were so severe they warranted a mod's response? This site isn't run by Nazi's, and some leway is given, you douche. How about you either get out or just enjoy the way things are done?




Posted by Hyper

How about we get a list of names? I bet I'm on it!




Posted by The Judge

Nah, you're just a jerk. :)

Dear n00b Robb4248,

You are a n00b. This place is not typical of all others. You don't like it? Then get the **** out!

Good day.




Posted by maian

We ask for reasons, and all we get is "do your job and mod the posts"

....Specify?




Posted by Ant

That was so worth a de-repping hyper.

In any case, why are you guys making a big deal out of this little turd? He'll be dead soon anyways. That's right, dead.




Posted by Poco

vgc, over the years has gotten mods who are anti-fun, just get used to it. The mods are all close friends with the members (most of whom don't remember when they were n00bs, and most who claim to never have been n00bs.) and a group of about 20 of us have grown to be the core of the site.


Christ alive, I miss the vb2 days.

So, in conclusion, you won't be liked unless you like: Dream Theater, which everyone(Well, not everyone, but the majority of you.) started liking because Raptor liked them.

You won't be liked unless you are: an elitest, a jerk, or an *******.

Fun fact: i miss zarg and laminator.




Posted by Ant

By ***, the man has a point! But alas, I've seen the stick has become loose from the *** lately. So things are becoming a bit more lax.




Posted by s0ul

Pretty much any mod that takes their job very seriously ruins the board. The ones that delete little flame wars, lock threads that get slightly off topic, and stuff are the ones you're wishing for, and those suck testicles.




Posted by Poco

yeah we wished for them on vb2, now it's hell with them here.




Posted by The Judge

Don't worry, if you dislike Dream Theater, or have no real opinion about it, just don't say it...at least not on the boards. ;)




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I don't like DT.


oh shi...


Seriously though, CY makes ****ty guidlines and is just angry because he can't understand why no one likes him.




Posted by Poco

I dislike dream theater, gave me a headache. I do like Rhapsody, though. Sorry for having a n opnion, you close minded bastards! :)


Anyway, yeah some mods are being more flexible. One thread , on the test board, an smod locked it because crazy k got called fat a few times.

I know this may sound contradictory, but if you want nazis, go over to the Games workshop forum. Yeah, I never post there anymore as fearing my post will be deleted for going slightly off topic, or may have a small flame.

Quoting Cold Fire: That was so worth a de-repping hyper.

You really haven't been around VGC long enough to say the old days were any better, because you don't know what the old days were really like.

[quote]So, in conclusion, you won't be liked unless you like: Dream Theater, which everyone(Well, not everyone, but the majority of you.) started liking because Raptor liked them.
Actually, I started liking them for their music :) I had no idea Raptor liked them until after I got into the band.

Correction:

You won't be liked unless you are: Intelligent, decent poster.

1. I think 9 months was long enough.

2. I said a majority, and a few liked DT before everyone knew raptor liekd them and it became the forum fad of the decade.

1. I don't.

2. Most who like DT just because others do [bandwagoneers] take their like no farther than VGC's threads, so it's easy to spot those who really like the band and those who just listen to them because its the next cool thing.

I have, and I do, and I will say that THE OLD VB2 DAYS WERE BETTER!

I really do miss The Laminator :( his avy was so cool!



Posted by Sapphire Rose

I notice, every forum site I EVER come too, I'm never one of the first people, and I ALWAYS seem to come after the "good old days" have passed.
***, I must be cursed.




Posted by Klarth

I like to think I do my job well. I can't mod anything outside of the boards under my control. Yeah, I'm not a perfect guy and I can be needlessly abusive and caustic on occasion, but I'd be a boring piece of **** if I didn't fly off the handle on occasion.

[quote=Hyper]I had no idea Raptor liked them until after I got into the band.

Likewise. I initially thought that Xenos was the one who'd started it off as she was the one who got me into them.




Posted by Shade

I didn't even know Raptor liked them until I read the Octavarium thread.

Okay, Rob-somethingorother. Loosen your tie, and get that stick out of your *ss. If you don't like the various forms of "harassment" that you say go on here, without so much as giving a link. Then do one of the following:

A. LEAVE, NOW.

B. Join in. :)

OKAY SHUT UP YOU'RE BANNED

In all honesty, I sincerely doubt anyone here is as stupid as to pretend to like a band just to look cool.

Or maybe I'm just overestimating the general IQ of the boards. I dunno.



Posted by maian

I've never even HEARD Dream Theatre.:cool:

ZING

In all seriousness, VB2 was much much better. The mods were more fun, and it was just a more enjoyable place to be, in my opinion.




Posted by Klarth

maian, why do you use british spellings


...and what's the difference between the vB2 mods and the vB3 ones? Philsdad no longer mods computers, MasterAsh disappeared, Sabredog, Xenos, Hyper and I were modded... I've probably left out a few others, but seriously, what's changed that actually matters?




Posted by Dreadnought

I dislike Dream Theater. James Labrie has the most annoying and nasal voice of any band I've ever heard. After 17 minutes of his voice (combined with the irritating keyboard solos) I reach the conclusion that the whole act is one huge ego-trip; it would certainly explainthe fits of musical self-indulgence.

Prog rock/metal is the music of silly women.

PsiRockinOmega is gone, Zerostar is now gone, along with her brother, and Laminator is gone.... A lot of good people are gone from those days. Also a lot of the good boards are gone from those days.

....I don't remember that being funny. At all. Dang newbies.....

Also, I was modded in the transition of VB2 to VB3. Easiest way to get a moderating position. No poll required!

Anywho, I don't see why everyone should really care of some new guy comes in and says that the mods and users are bad. Is it really the place of someone who's barely been here to decide who's good and who's bad? Just ignore the guy.

at least fix your avatar :(

No, it's not. If you joined in August 2003, you joined at one of the highest peaks in VGC's problem, HELL you were part of that problem, Gollum. Don't speak of better days, because you have never seen them; I've never seen them. ;)

Edit: Opps, Poco then, but still :)




Posted by Klarth

...

Gollum hasn't posted in this thread, I'm confused :/




Posted by Robb4248

at least i have a few people who aggree, i dont want to be an ***, but you have to see some of the PM's ive gotten, hate mail from members and mods for defending friends. thats why im making a big deal

I don't think you understand that unless you tell us precisely what you're complaining about (and I mean precisely, as in giving links to posts your complaining about or posting a copy of a PM you're complaining about), there's no way anyone could help you, and you just look very much like and ***.

Alright, the answer to this is simple. I'll use a bit of an example:

When playing Counter-Strike, someone that comes into a established server and bitches about features that it lacks, then gets flamed.

So basically, if you can't stand getting bashed, then your contribution will not be missed on our forum.



Posted by Ant

Well, if there isn't a problem...then why are so many people complaining as of late?




Posted by Iris

I'm loving the lack of evidence...




Posted by G-Sides

There's always been a problem. It just continuously grows and depletes. :\




Posted by Jesse Smith

I vote that we go back to the WWWBoard days, when it comes to banning people!! :D:D:D




Posted by Arczu

'S right up your alley. I think you would enjoy that too much...

Rob, it not too late to de-stain your name. Just chill out and learn to take a few hits. It's like going through schools and encountering bullies. Depending on how you deal with them determines how popular you'll be (be it in a good way, or trouble way).


...and if that doesn't make sense, then count that as my poster-quota of the day. 'Cause I'm pretty tired reading this thread.

HATE PM
everyone else is sending one so I want to join in the fun. I HATE YOU SO MUCH

MAYBE IF YOU POSTED THIS PEOPLE WOULD CHANGE EXCEPT NOT

If you mods dont belive me; here's a PM i recieved from SHADE. See, nothing is done to stop these.




Posted by Hyper

I can just smell the sarcasm.




Posted by Arczu

...well it did for me anyway. I played mind games with those fools, and they NEVER touched me again.

Not sure what that reply was, but I'm counting on it not being a good one.




Posted by Philsdad

Yes, thank you. I would much rather go back to the WWWboard format for the boards here.


Quoting Jesse Smith: I vote that we go back to the WWWBoard days, when it comes to banning people!! :D:D:D




Posted by sabre

I vote we don't; the only redeeming feature of them is the nostalgia.




Posted by Klarth

kinda only works for the people there to remember them...

I actually think there should be WWWboards running alongside vgc just to keep the oldies happy.




Posted by Shin-Ra

I let users post as they will as long as it doesn't blatantly break any rules I feel are necessary. After all, the forum is made by the people who post and being too strict prevents them from posting freely. Of course, mindless flaming and pornography is deleted instantly, but I still leave even one sentence posts because that's how the user wishes to present themself, and as long as it's relevant to the thread I don't see a problem with it. Flaming with thought put into a post and threads that get off topic don't bother me though, it's part of a discussion and if someone wants make a post more on topic, they can. It's as simple as that.




Posted by Shade

I say we all send Robb these alleged hate PM's so he has evidence. :)




Posted by Average n00b

Who are you the admin? I think the mods are doing a fine job. Unlike some pushy mods in some other sites I visit and ruin everything.




Posted by Poison

Basically, there are no bad moderators, only bad users, like that guy that posed as Jesus and claim he wanted to save us from sin.

Quoting Misoxeny: I can't believe this thread even managed to have DT references in it.

Yeah, you can thank Poco for that. It's cool not to follow anything that's perceived as a trend, now, so he has to bring it up implying that he doesn't listen to them to make himself look like the super rebel.

Not for me. Apathy is stupid. The mods here are very immature (generally). Not all of them, but a majority of them are, I suppose.

It doesn't bother me too much because I try to remain neutral.

I'm sure that Mr. Robb whatever has too, but it doesn't seem to be working for him.

I am generally very devoted to keeping my areas of responsibility clean. However, I am at work right now and as such don't really have time to think about that stuff. Besides, I'd like to have fun for one day.

[left]Dear Robb,[/left]

If you think the mods are doing such a bad job then why don't you leave some constructive critisicm instead of just making stupid statements about how horrible of a job they are doing. Tell us exactly what they are doing wrong and how we can fix it. Since I registered here at vgchat I have seen many spammers join and spam the crap out of this forum. Now look. There is barely any trash left. If the mods were doing a bad job wouldn't all that spam still be lying around? I strongly disagree with you robb. The truth is the mods are doing an excellent job. If you think otherwise maybe you should apply and do your best to become a mod so that you can fix everything that is wrong by yourself.
