Administrators

[Angelsaint]

Not trying to be polemic or controversial but just curious about the human mind.

Most of the administrators criticize Trump / whatever dictator in the world.
But most of the decisions here and on the old TD were dictator ish.
Many justify this by saying " this is not a democracy, this is a private group ".

I with my life try to be fair and live by the same ideology of justice in whatever I am part of. Sometimes even to my expense I have to admit.

So you guys have some on/off button?
Is it healthy being like that?

[Mellberg]

Saint's grown his balls back.

[Ian]

The way they force us all to post here in the face of all the injustice is the real crime.

[simon]

Growing more convinced by the day that Saint is the most elaborate Harold alias of all time.

[John Arne]

Aren't you in you late-thirties, Saint? You sound like a 14yr old kid.

[Giggles]

Some of them are absolutely ludicrous in decisions they make and what is/isn't offensive. It's also all a bit personal due to familiarity. But if it ever gets too much we can just leave so, meh.

[Angelsaint]

Yeah, we know no one is forced to be here but then again that was never the issue of the topic but thanks for the heads up!

Just the bipolarity of administrators here and real life/ ideology they preach or live for.

My guess is that here is another reality, another life/ ideology kind of.


Still strange and for sure must raise some intern conflicts.

PS: i will not answer for anything personal because I am discussing something I am really curious about so stop.

[ItalAussie]

Is there a particular issue on the new board that's bothering you?

[John Arne]

The moderating on the new forum has been fine. Act nice and generally everybody gets along.

EDIT: At @Angelsaint, obvs.

[mo]

Tbh if I were an admin I wouldn't stand for whiny little bitches, regardless of my "IRL" philosophy. It is so mind-numbingly infantile and preposterous to go on and on about the actions of admins.

[Angelsaint]

Is there a particular issue on the new board that's bothering you?

Some issues do bother me but like I said I try to do as I preach, so they are irrelevant to this discussion.

I do admit was you I was thinking the most, not only.

[ItalAussie]

If we make a decision - especially a big one - I guarantee you we've discussed it to death.

I'm not saying we never make mistakes, but I trust the system we have in place to ensure that nobody unilaterally does anything too outrageous.

[Angelsaint]

I see in this forum the tolerance is bigger.

Still your impression is quite different from the majority. As you can read no one defended administrators by claiming you were fair. Most used cliché coming directly from a dictatorship.

But this is also another issue we can discuss in other thread.

I see the problem is you( plural) think you are being fair, at least in this forum.

[Angelsaint]

Research finished. Administrators can and are encouraged to close this thread at will

[ItalAussie]

Perhaps I'm being dense, but I don't actually know to which other thread you're referring.

Come on.... read the fucking thread. I defended them, most other people took the piss out of you, and one person agreed that some of the decisions weren't always fair.

Surely, surely you are just bored and trolling - no one is this dense.

[Angelsaint]

Perhaps I'm being dense, but I don't actually know to which other thread you're referring.

I mean like " not the issue on this topic, we might discuss it on another thread " kind of.

John Arne, you basically said the same I wrote and congratulations in learning a word from Ital " dense ".

Anywho.
Just to finish this thread, nice to see some dialog without... Ehmmm.... With few.... insults.

[Pepe]

Keep up the good fight Saint.

[Chrissy]

What the hell is this guy on about? This forum is run really well.

[Baz]

Is Harold permanently banned?

[leedsrevolution]

Yeah think so.

[Kikó]

Give it a rest Baz. It's not like he was banned out of spite.

[Angelsaint]

[Henry]

Well, there was a gap in the market for chief troublemaker...

[Raoul Duke]

Only imbeciles who can't seem to have a civil discussion seem to have trouble with The Feds...

[Angelsaint]

Well, there was a gap in the market for chief troublemaker...

ehmmm...seems to be no gap for...ehmmm too easy. I let it slide this time.

[Angelsaint]

Feds?

[Baz]

I know. My opinion is that anyone, even Harold, would "behave" if they were told outright something along the lines of your next ban will be permanent. Sure he had plenty of bans and everyone could see it a mile off, but if he'd have been told he'd be banned permanently if he didn't play nice, I think he'd still be here; albeit a watered down even more boring version of himself.

That being said, hopefully it proves to be no great loss. Although I'll never be onboard with permanent bans.

[Kikó]

He's been on the verge of a permanent ban for about 10 years. He'll never change his spots. If anything he's got worse.

[Pepe]

Pretty sure he was told but he was in full chimpout mode by then.

[Angelsaint]

I am a bit curious, why the ban?
And yes I really don't know, and yes I will make annoying questions if required.

[Angelsaint]

I just went to check room 101. And found this "For continual, repeated infractions over an extended duration, with no sign of behavioural change. This was agreed upon by every staff member."

This is a standard answer that at least it's hypocrisy at his best. And this is me being very " new Saint " because the right words would be something else.

I love the unanimous part. Basically the same as superman being judged by most of his hateful enemies.

I didn't know about this but now my initial commentary becomes more and more relevant.
How the hell you guys sleep at night?
I know this is just the Internet and a private forum but does that justify this dictatorship behavior?
And lol to John Arne commentary and mine naive " tolerance is bigger ".

Note: i did recommended to close this thread.

[SvN]

How the hell you guys sleep at night?

I'm actually awake this early because I've hardly slept. Obviously something in my subconscious preventing me from nodding off.

On a related note, this might be my favourite post on the new board, so thanks for that.

[Magic]

Did Saint just compare Harold to Superman?

[Angelsaint]

No, I didn't. Sometimes we with brains don't means literally what we say.
You are not very smart so it may take you sometime to digest this.

Oops I did it again, I don't mean digest like you gonna eat this.

[Magic]

I keep reading your posts in the voice of the BFG. It's given you some merit as a poster now.

[leedsrevolution]

No, I didn't. Sometimes we with brains don't means literally what we say.

Good to have you back Saint. Can we get a vcash thread up on how long till he gets permanent ban again please?

[Smiffy]

.....

[Angelsaint]

Amazing thread this.....said no person ever.

it's known I am against any punishable system, I believe in positive reinforcement as a more effective system.
Saying this, if there is a reason to punish anyone in this forum it's people that write on a thread to criticize the thread.

It's so " wtf?!". What's exactly the point? Attention whore.

[John Arne]

Yes, Smiffy is the attention whore.

[Kikó]

This is probably more try hard than the final Harold thread.

[Angelsaint]

Yes, Smiffy is the attention whore.

You trying miserably to be sarcastic doesn't make you right.

This is probably more try hard than the final Harold thread.

Which thread is this? Was this thread the " final drop "?

[Giggles]

Yes, Smiffy is the attention whore.

Let's not deprive either. They're both attention whores.

[Angelsaint]

How the hell am I attention whore?
I was the one recommending closing the thread when the purpose of the same was concluded.

I was not the one bringing this or any other sensitive subject.


OHHHH i get it, ridiculing the person, automatically ridicules anything the person says, no need to discuss and be embarrassed.

I see some morons are taking a page from American elections page book.

Not bad, I must admit. Not bad.

[Kikó]

*drops the mike*
Boom

I wonder if it's possible to get stuck in the raised bits of those.
