I like how arnox tries to be a hardass about 'rules' but then when we were getting CP spammed he was all 'let it be'.  I only saw him get a little miffed, one time, about the CP, but almost every day he is in here acting hard and being inflexible about rules minutia.

I thought you were my bro, man.

No more. :'(

Pretty sure I started this thread a month ago.

Slave you sound like  a whiney bitch - 'omg teh tranny insultId me and maenie ArNax is not dEfendor me ' ... '... cunt'

You sound like someone of limited intellect. And so the balance of the Universe is preserved.

You find this enough to shit-smear me by declaring that generally I'm 'writing more about how everyone else sucks'.

You're directly implying that that's not all you do around here. And then you come back with some flames. :P


So you think that by responding with one insult, her argument that I have generally become a poor poster is proven and that you can ignore anything else that I've said regardless of whether it is true?

EDIT: And oh my goodness, she really got to your head, didn't she?

No. You deciding to chip in and defend her with your simplistic reasoning is what's making me question whether this site is worth bothering with.

Actually, you've insulted her at least three times now. What I'm saying is, doing so doesn't help your argument.

Do I need to explain to the Admin of this site what the function of B&M is? And do  insults change the fact that in the first instance she was full of shit and that my assessment of her was fundamentally correct?

No.

You, like her, have studiously avoided commenting on that and focused solely on my insults. No prizes for guessing why; essentially you've got no grounds on which to solidly rebutt the reasons why I called her a cunt.

Hey, if you wanna leave, go ahead. I'm actually kinda disappointed in you, Slave. I kept hearing really good things about you and you did seem like good poster to me...

With all due respect, why should I care in the slightest if you're disappointed? People who tell you 'really good things' about me have likely known me for the best part of ten years. You know next to nothing about me; your personal opinion of me has no significance.

And with regards to disappointment, Zok said almost the exact same thing to me 5 years ago. He is a proven idiot. I've seen the trajectory of failed administration in too prolonged and fine-a-detail as a staff member of both Totse and Zoklet to have the patience to watch it again. I suspect it will only be a matter of time before this account is fucked with in some fashion or another, over a pathetic 'infraction'. If a global mod can complain over a single sentence, then be defended by the site owner (as far as you can without making a fool of yourself) when they get ass-blasted, then the writing for the long-term is on the wall. If that happens I will leave in a heartbeat; to that end, and in spite of her claims to the contrary, I wouldn't put it past your beloved Equanimity to do what I've described.

...but then you get your panties in a twist so much when someone even somewhat disagrees with you that you consider leaving.

Your userbase is essentially non-existent bar the few remaining dregs of Totse.

I'd happily stay and help you build on those foundations, but to be blunt you are the wrong type of character to govern a Totse-type environment. This is reflected in you choosing Equanimity as a mod. Ignoring all the tranny bullshit, I've seen her type before and she will not withstand an &T environment in the long run, unless you change that environment to suit your more weak and fragile staff thereby largely destroying the reason the bulk of your userbase come here in the first place. If you choose staff who go against your apparently conflict-avoidant character e.g. Spectral, Daguru, however much that may jar with you, they've got an infinitely better understanding, experience of and stomach for &T community dynamics than the likes of Equanimity, or you. You don't even know most of your userbase well enough with regards to modding them, which is why you chose her... she seemed 'nice' IIRC. Ha. Sly would be a better description.

As it stands this community has a limited lifespan regardless of whether I stay or go.

In short my attitude is a consquence of experience, not a minor disagreement.

Our resident troll RisiR is part of the problem here - hes trolling in every single thread.  Look at his number of posts - LOOK AT HIS POSTS - without Infinity stealing his spotlight hes just gone ape shit with the trolling.
No.

HOWEVER, keep in mind that most, if not all of the time, an admin (me included) will stand by a global moderator's decision. We pick our staff VERY carefully and hold them to a rigorous standard. For more information on this subject, please see the stickied topic on Staffing Policies.

You're complicating the matter immensely. She said you have a tendency to sling insults at some people. You directly implied you didn't, and I told you that you're kinda contradicting yourself.

With all due respect, why should I care in the slightest if you're disappointed? People who tell you 'really good things' about me have likely known me for the best part of ten years. You know next to nothing about me; your personal opinion of me has no significance.

As I have said many times before, if she starts infracting unfairly, she will be demodded. However, I can see that assurance is not enough for you. In which case, I don't know what to say to you.

Your userbase is essentially non-existent bar the few remaining dregs of Totse.

The small userbase isn't actually as bad as you think. A large userbase is a double-edged sword. As the community grows, it begins to become a serious problem to manage. One needs to keep promoting more and more to staff in order to keep up with the load which sometimes leads to bad staffing decisions which can very well lead to moderator abuse and subsequent massive drama. And if you take your time more to scope out good staff members, your current staff members probably won't be able to keep up with the rising load and some offending posts will slip through the cracks.

And not just this. As the forum grows, it begins to get more impersonal. Not all the way, mind you, but it begins to seem less like a tight-knit group and it begins to become more divided and cliquey as the userbase grows.

unless you change that environment

You mean change the rules to make them much more strict? This isn't going to happen. I'd rather shut down the site.

to suit your more weak and fragile staff thereby largely destroying the reason the bulk of your userbase come here in the first place. If you choose staff who go against your apparently conflict-avoidant character e.g. Spectral, Daguru, however much that may jar with you, they've got an infinitely better understanding, experience of and stomach for &T community dynamics than the likes of Equanimity, or you. You don't even know most of your userbase well enough with regards to modding them, which is why you chose her... she seemed 'nice' IIRC. Ha. Sly would be a better description.

Understanding and experience don't mean very much if you don't know how to connect the dots and apply that knowledge into proper action. Spectral sounds like he wants to ban half the site and DaGuru... Well, I don't know about him. However, he never really posts about anything besides site policy and the drama of the day. Not good signs. Equanimity was modded not just because "she was nice", but because she was fair, professional, able to keep her cool, and seems to have a good understanding and belief of totse ideals, and she's not a complete dunce.

However, you sound pretty arrogant, presuming to know who should lead this site and carry on the legacy of totse and who shouldn't. So you've been a mod for a long time. That's great but I want to direct your argument right back at you. You don't know me really. I may not have been on Zoklet or even the totse forums but I was heavily involved in totse2 which carried its own set of problems and community with it. I've been a staff member of a couple other small groups as well and I've seen a whole lot of online groups rise and fall over the years. I've talked to a lot of other admins and past admins about their experience and how things used to be done and what happened to the groups they were/are leading...

But I'm not going to say I'm the perfect admin for this site because I'm not at all. And I don't presume to be in the slightest. But don't take me for an idiot who's blundering around and doesn't know what he's doing at all.

Slave, I feel my statement was fair.  I didn't go through your post history, and I'm not going to.  You're arrogant and rude in your posting style, and that post I linked really stuck out in my mind.  The impression I have of you of late is that you would rather be petty and make uselessly snide remarks than represent yourself as someone worthy of respect.  Your posts in this thread only seem to validate my feelings, because they don't really add anything worthwhile to the board.  There's no reason to complain for paragraphs about how one person's perception of you is wrong and you're going to leave the website over it.  I had no idea your ego was so fragile.

You definitely do seem to be talking shit more than contributing.  My perception could always be wrong, and I'm sure you could pull together the (completely unbiased) numbers and wave them around for everyone to see in an effort to discredit me and convince everyone else of how awesome you are.  It's not something I'd do, but you're totally free to do what you will.

Or you could simply get back to being awesome, which would actually be the awesome thing to do.

*shrug*

and she's not a complete dunce.

Lol, thanks Arnox.  You're really too kind ;)

You're complicating the matter immensely. She said you have a tendency to sling insults at some people. You directly implied you didn't, and I told you that you're kinda contradicting yourself.

A tendency she elaborated on with one example. I stand by responses. They were wholly appropriate for this forum.


Understanding and experience don't mean very much if you don't know how to connect the dots and apply that knowledge into proper action. Spectral sounds like he wants to ban half the site and DaGuru... Well, I don't know about him. However, he never really posts about anything besides site policy and the drama of the day. Not good signs.

Spectral says lots of crazy shit sometimes. Despite this no one has ever been able to fault him as a mod. DaGuru, more of gamble due to lack of modding history, but he certainly speaks with sufficient knowledge that I'd give him a chance.

Equanimity was modded not just because "she was nice", but because she was fair, professional, able to keep her cool, and seems to have a good understanding and belief of totse ideals, and she's not a complete dunce.

She's an idiot. See below.

However, you sound pretty arrogant, presuming to know who should lead this site and carry on the legacy of totse and who shouldn't.

I was a regular on Totse for nearly 5 years. You weren't there for a single day. Therefore my having an opinion on the Totse userbase and how to manage it hardly denotes arrogance, regardless of how insecure it may make you feel.

So you've been a mod for a long time. That's great but I want to direct your argument right back at you. You don't know me really. I may not have been on Zoklet or even the totse forums but I was heavily involved in totse2 which carried its own set of problems and community with it.

Uh huh. How is totse2 working out these days?

Slave, I feel my statement was fair.  I didn't go through your post history, and I'm not going to.

How can you be fair whilst not looking at the evidence?

Seriously, how does your mind even begin to function? If you expect me to read the rest of your post you must be smoking crack. Probably some shite about how I made you 'feel a feel you didn't want to feel'.

I signed up for the summer basketball league here, this last summer. Once the first practice started, I didn't waste any time complaining about the rules of basketball that I disagreed with. Fuck your free throw line, I think it should be a few feet closer. Fuck your shot clock, I want all the time I want to let my play develop. Fuck your boundary lines, don't fucking tell me where I can and can't walk.

Well, as it turns out, the league reviewed their rules and policies and changed everything for me, as it should be. Sure, many of the other participants and coaches found it absurd and out of line, but they failed to see the point- I didn't like the way it was, and it was up to me to decide how things ought to be. I couldn't pussyfoot with 'suggestions' and 'ideas,' no, it needed to be clear that if they didn't change these things that were so clearly wrong about the game, that the game would fail and would popularity would dwindle down to nothing, in next to no time.

The truth is, too many leaders and officials seem to think that they know what's best, or they follow in line with what their predecessors have done. When people disrupt their law, they rebuke them; they fine them; they dismiss them. Thankfully in my case, we had a leader who knew that the only reason he was in his esteemed position in the first place was because of his ability to learn from newcomers' demands and succumb to them immediately; regardless of popular opinion or even common sense.

I changed my local YMCA's adult men's summer basketball league's rules, and I KNOW that someone here, following this principle, can and will do the same thing with this forum.

It's not about wanting ban half the site. It's about getting rid of the useless tools who spam up the forums with their useless, pointless, annoying garbage. They're the ones who sunk both &Totse and Zoklet, and they will do the exact same thing here if you let them. Free speech means just that: speech. Kidiots don't speak, they just post senseless graffiti and mindless shitdrops, so they have no protections whatsoever under the freedom of speech mission statement. If half the site was these complete wastes of bandwidth, then yes, I would ban them all, half the site or not. I'm not the politically correct kind of douchebag who will dance and prattle about the issue. I get shit done.
