Dies to Removal

Yeah well. One does not simply walk into Mordor, Az.

Well I personally have a lot more I could prepare to debunk the Belza fiasco as I noted in an earlier explanation, but I was hoping Boubs would come through on what he said. As for us bashing the staff and everything, he should have told Sene not to come here to engage in healthy debate if he doesn't want such topics being talked about.

Not that trying to fix the absurd WCT policy mindsets are much of a personal bash against anyone.

You wouldn't call it hostile to post where someone is from when you're calling them out for not logging in? Really?

You need to check your reality switch.

Harkius, problem is (the way I see it) that I have no patience for passive-agressive attitudes, which are an integral part of the cancer that plagues the staff.

When someone starts asking publicly the opinion about the fate of a community to those who used to represent the community, but also claim they are scared of posting on the new forum the guys set up, and then people indulge him registering on their turf, and asking explicitely access to the place where discussion is taking place, only to be banned without further ado, following up with a public post with "well, it
seems people are onboard with my idea so lets just move forward with it", I just find this whole ordeal to be pathetic.

Pathetic.

If Galspanic stopped behaving akin to a "Village Simpleton" maybe I'd feel less inclined to call him out on his passive/agressive ways. Except that everyone lost a crapton of time with his willing to "fix things" (like calling back kcw to make "the last Gutter post(TM)")

Also I do not appreciate having words being put in my mouth. If Galspanic wants my our opinion, he should ask directly, not post passive-agressively "well I have read their forum and it seems they are totally onboard with my awesome ideas, so lets just do that exactly". Not very polite if you ask me.

If people at some point decide to behave like adults, maybe I'll consider treating them like adults instead of calling them out on this kind of stuff.

Sene:

Your posting here will have no outcome that is positive, unless you're trying to stir up shit. I've told you that, and your continued posting here suggests to me that you're trying to cause problems.

MtG Community:

You've heard my piece. You're all making an unwise choice.

If weve heard your piece why the fuck do you keep repeating it?

Are we not giving you enough attention or something?

Here have some more.

hey Sene, who are our 2 guests ?

I dunno, but one of them is from the
Seattle region. Possibly someone who is too scared of posting here.

Possibly because you scrape the IPs off of guests in a hostile fashion, just to try to make them post?

We mods (admins?) can see more information about each user in their posts, just by opening up a little tab there. I wouldn't call that scraping IPs in a hostile fashion.

Hahahaha you need to change your reality batteries pal.

Harkius please remember that Onar is the only one who thought you worthy of the mediator position.

Suspension Evasion

The penalty for evading one's suspension has been reduced from a ban to a one-week extension to the previous suspension for first-time offenders, and a ban for repeat evaders.

The reason for this change is that we would like to avoid having to ban users who aren't actually problematic. A suspension evasion undermines the system, but isn't damaging enough to the community that a full ban is necessary in most circumstances.

However, as it's still considered a serious rules violation, and repeat offenders are showing blatant disregard of our rules, and if they're not going to wait through any suspensions, our punitive measures become useless. As they've been warned for evasion already, we will ban upon the second suspension evasion.

Users that have been banned for suspension evasion in the past may appeal their ban in the ban/suspension appeal forum. Note that it will still be considered a
normal ban appeal process, which may still be either successful or unsuccessful.

Why are the staff not on civil terms with you Az ?

Deep breaths, guys?

Seems like a pretty good move.

EDIT: Sometimes I just get the feeling that the staff get awfully tired of having me constantly second-guessing their decisions. So lately, I've been making a conscious effort to cut back on that and just let them regenerate and relax a bit without getting lectured/sermonized/berated so much by an old-timer, because that's got to be getting to be a really old and tiresome routine by now.

On the other hand, sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised. A couple of the last staff members who I'd never have expected to say anything like this PM'd me to say that they thought I should chime in on the Teia/RLA situation in a private setting, so maybe I'm letting my imagination carry me away.

retroact?

Always been true before, I don't know why it wouldn't be now.

Cause they been guilty of not applying things to some people cause of personal bias.

That has nothing to do with anything that I am saying. And also, it is wrong. And I don't give a shit whether you think I'd be a good moderator or not. I am trying to see your site take off, but it keeps jumping, only to get dragged down into mud because people get frustrated and won't. move. on.

Harkius[/quote:2u4cv4vh]

Mediator =\= moderator

Also don't sign your posts, it makes you look a tremendous faggot

I was joking you god damn sensitive asshole, you're in here trying to talk sense to both sides and Onar once said you should be the mediator between both groups, so me being me made a throwback comment to it

You're so defensive

Then why the fuck did you bring it up? Just to be a shit head?

it may be that he doesn't want you to look foolish here and it is professional courtesy.

Sorry about that Sally-CI post. I didn't mean servers in Europe, I meant Kijin's dossier. My bad.

we're a jokey bunch. i'm asking sene serious questions without trying to wring his neck in the process, but also i am responding to posts with card images and typing up this laugh riot.

noooo, my fight money.

"If you want people to report posts, then at least let them know that they're not being ignored, Galspanic. And if you want to work with the userbase, try not to be so condescending. If users see you go to the thread, and apparently ignore it, they might just respond" Harkius says in a condescending tone

and I don't now, btw Harkius , where did they post geographic locations of guests?

Reality check : They might have assumed but never posted
confidential data.

If you dont give a shit and have said your piece, why the fuck are you still being a little bitch?

Do you want more attention?

Onar dishing up some reality to harku,

iirc someone said one guest was from seattle.

Then why the fuck did you bring it up? Just to be a shit head?

Because why pass up the oppurtunity to let you act like a huge asshat?

iirc someone said one guest was from seattle.

Thats a rl threat and wont be taken lightly..

someone from seattle was here and that is an act of aggression.
