Off-Topic Posting

[Obbe]

Impressive retort.  You're such a good example of a forum contributor.

Keep it up, the more you type the more everyone sees just what sort of person you are.

Says the crying faggot who can't even accept an apology.  LOL.

You actually did formally apologize, but you only apologized for 'hurting my feelings', which wasn't the issue at all.  I stated as much in the very next post.  That sort of just made it worse, and ties in with your whole 'you mad?' bullshit.

That's because I didn't do anything wrong.  If we aren't supposed to report off-topic posts why did I have the ability to do so?  If off-topic posts aren't against the rules, why can people now be infracted for it?

If you read anyone elses posts you would see that:

#1 Arnox has posted before that he considers it more suggestive of realistic conversations if we are allowed to meander off topic in threads

#2 I could report any post, for just about any reason.  Ask RisiR about some of the reasons he has reported posts.

#3 Your first instinct was to 'report' to management when you couldn't get something done with your 'excuse me, guys?  guys?  hey guys....' tap-on-the-shoulder, emaciated and intimidated conversational style.

#4 It's too late now, you showed us all just what sort of person you are behind the words on the screen, and you can't take it back.  Keep typing and let us in further to your pathetic beta psychology.

It's not against the law to be a fedora wearing neckbeard buzzword buzzword but it outs you as a bitch.

Off topic can be beautiful and often results in great things. Stop hating.

[Idiosyncrasy]

Great to see Arnox made the very wise(?) decision to make this thread the new "headline" announcement at the top of everyone's page. Should do wonders for the place, huh? 

This.

And just as a CYA:

1. No spam. This means posts that are not relevant or do not add anything at all to the thread or the discussion in it. ('this's are allowed though)

[starvingniglet]

The whole point of the OP was to formally address and highlight a dispute between me and another user.  Obbe technically is in the right here, end of story.  I have no issue with that.

My issue is with his character and his credibility as a poster.  He revealed himself as one who is quick to spam the 'report' button whenever he sees something going on that is 'against the rules', sort of like those store clerks who chase shoplifters even though their employer probably won' t even say 'thank you' or give them a pay raise or some other reward. 

In other words, he is a fucking kiss-ass who tries to curry favor to gain approval or something, and has to run to moderators when he can't muster enough testosterone to control his own threads.

But that is just between me and him.

So, why is there a whole thread from the forum administrator addressing this relatively minor personal dispute, if I may ask?

Chances are there is more going on behind the scenes or in M&A that the userbase isn't privy to. Or maybe its just he's frustrated because the rest of the staff hasn't stood by his decision strong enough when he decided to mod Zek and the majority of the userbase came down on him because of it. More and more I'm getting the sense he is in this for his own agenda, and not base a website on Totse ideals or anything close to it. True irony is, he is probably getting pissy at the rest of the staff because he bungled the Zek modding so badly, and in his stunted mind he is interpretting their lack of support as "disloyalty"....when he himself has been the ONLY one disloyal to the creed and culture for what this place is SUPPOSED to represent.

No I'm not.  I wouldn't report off-topic post in your threads.  I openly chastise Arnox and don't care if he approves or not.  I'm participating in this off-topic conversation right now.  But I want my threads to remain on topic.  No amount of testosterone will get trolls (Lanny) to stop trolling,  and if you actually think this has anything to do with being a man you're ridiculous and probably wear a fedora.  Your feelings got hurt and this whole anti-obbe thing you're doing is your emotional reaction to getting your precious posts deleted,  something I have no control over.  Get over it.  I already apologised and if you're not man enough (lol) to swallow your pride and make friends,  I really couldn't care less.  This whole emotional reaction of yours says much more about your character than you desperately wish it could say about mine.

[Arnox]

Arnox, would you like me restore the posts that I deleted (retroactive policy), or does this only apply to moderating actions going forward (proactive)?  I don't mind taking the time.

Also, can you please define what we need to treat as spam?  I got it that we shouldn't delete any posts that are derailments, and obviously CP and the like are spam, but I just want us to be on the same page.  Thanks.

Proactive. It's OK. Don't worry about it. It's done.

As far as what to edit out/remove, CP, IRL besitiality, and flooding can be safely removed. Unauthorized advertisements. PI. Malicious instructions on how to take down this site specifically or a link to something that would.

I want my threads full of posts praising me and telling me how much I fucking rule,  but we don't get what we want, do we?

Well I didn't think expecting moderators to ... you know .... moderate the threads was wishful thinking,  but apparently off-topic postings isn't against the rules ... but is still something you can be infracted for, now anyways.

  No amount of testosterone will get trolls (Lanny) to stop trolling, 

Lotta truth here. A team of the Incredible Hulk, Chuck Norris, and John Rambo couldn't prevent Lanny from stopping his incessant derailing like the petulant child he is. Only thing that will work is a control panel purging the place of his worthless existence....unfortunately he's Zek's pet and appears to be handsoff.
