wait viricide's here? things are really hotting up

[Manders]

Guys, guys, it's ok.

I brought undeniable logic.

[Pendulum]

Growl.





That is all. Just that.

[Shalako]

Calling people liars is considering flaming. As such, you have recieved an Infraction for Flaming. Please be nicer when addressing other members in the future.
Thank you.

So...Mafia is Dead over there now since no one can play any part of the game due to The Rules?

Good Morning Everyone.
So, let's take this one step at a time.

I'm not even commenting on the veracity of your claims. You may have been in the GRRRR for a while, but I'm there now and as an Admin, I'm responsible for the path it takes, so I can tell you it's nothing like you make it out to be. Still this is just my word, so you don't have to believe it, so, discussing the GRRR won't take us anywhere.
As for the "you can do no wrong" argument... you are so wrong. I am constantly re-evaluating my decisions. I have overturned cards I gave on several ocasions because I admitted I was wrong. I'm just not going to do it because of pressure. I did it (and will continue to do it) when I feel I have acted wrong. For a mod, pride can be the #1 enemy when it comes to being professional and competent and I'm well aware of that. It's just that I
still think you didn't act correctly with that comment toward Teia. You yourself admitted you called her a liar and that's not something I will tolerate (and this isn't about Teia, but rather anyone calling someone else a liar).


No one said you weren't calm. I just said you called her a liar. Are you trying to tell me that, when you were on staff, you'd let someone get away with calling someone else a liar?


This was never about Teia, but rather about your tone. If you were talking about someone else, the outcome would have been the same. And yes, that tone seems to lead to infractions and suspensions, and that's a good thing. It's about time people start respecting each other. And for some reason, you don't respect someone, keep it to yourself. You can discuss ideas without attacking the person, can't you?


If that were true, I'd be infracting myself all the time
But really, I find this funny, since the way I do things, I don't even look at the poster's name until after I've issued the card. If he has an avatar that I'm familiar with, I'll know who it is, but in this case, I only knew it was Sapph when someone pointed it out, after I gave him the card.


You assume that I keep a list of everyone connected to the Gutter? Really, I try to have an equal measure for everyone, no matter who they are. I don't expect you to believe this, but I didn't even know Sapph was connected to the Gutter (I haven't cared about the Gutter since TFE left, so my memory of it is sketchy at best).
And he has used the word liar twice ITT. For what it's worth I actually respect Sapph a bit more after this, because he didn't try to weasel his way out of this card. Everyone is trying to convince me he didn't call Teia a liar, except for him that admitted to it (twice). So, yeah, he got carded for it, but he was decent enough
to be honest about it (and I'm being serious here).


That was you being carefull and non aggressive?
I'd like to know at what point calling people liars was deemed ok, because it isn't anymore. Not on my watch.

[Col. Khaddafi]

and they claim they are not rotten to the core

[Col. Khaddafi]

Not only the discretionary suspensions, but also the fact that they are so cowardly that they deleted the posts that Manders and Shazbot made on voltan's helpdesk.

[Col. Khaddafi]

I had the chance to see Manders post before it was deleted, and the fact is that it was a level-headed post calmly arguing why this infraction set a bad precedent for the future?

[Col. Khaddafi]

"A reasonable post that criticizes staff actions?" DELETE and SUSPEND!

It is ok when you know they are full of it. On top of 2 people posted calmly why it was wrong i got what i would called harrased by you and the staff they themselves get suspended. Im sorry if I call poop poop and blue blue.
At this time i feel any more responces to you will result in what you yourself call "Trolling" And/or "flaming" so I am gonna be the bigger bestest man and walk away before You get any more ammo to find a way to suspend and/or ban me in a unfair manner that would more then likely result in more issues that you need to tie your hands up in.

Lassy keeping it classy

[Sir Sapphire the 3rd]

Stupid motherfuckers.....

I could seriously say i am fucking done and there is No redeeming that shithole of a site.

Suspension

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You've been given a discretionary suspension for 3 days for disobeying the moderator request. Given the circumstances, you've been issued a 3-day suspension as opposed to a 30-day infraction, and your post has been deleted.

[Manders]

Are you fucking kidding me with this?

[Manders]

This is fucking ridiculous.

[Sir Sapphire the 3rd]

Yup. Welcome to the bullshit from them.

[Manders]

I don't give a fuck that it's only for 3 days. It's egregious and I will have it removed.

This is fucking bullshit.

[Manders]

I was proud to have been one of the few of us to never be suspended on Ugly Sally.

[Manders]

Hey, Yanni, we're chilling in the rape cave together!

[imopen2]

<--------------- never been suspended

[Sir Sapphire the 3rd]

Yet ^

[imopen2]

IMOPEN2 HAS BEEN SUSPENDED FOR TROLLING

[imopen2]

you'll never see those words because i'll never be suspended

[( G_R )]

I was infractionless until I popped that cherry for a good cause.

[( G_R )]

Then I got a second infraction for bullshit reasons.

[( G_R )]

Got closed to getting suspended, but I pulled a KCW.

[Pendulum]

...well I could have done without that mental image, thank you very much.
