No seriously, people should be responsible for their own booties. If they like to flame the mods and get banned so be it. I agree with bburn, what's the point of banning a user if they can just remake another account? | ||

Banning is like putting up a sign: You're not wanted around here! And if people get too obnoxious Meat can IP ban them. | ||

And that can piss anybody off. You think: I'm smarter than this guy. In better shape. Have a hotter girlfriend. And am better looking. But here... he's better than you. It makes you want to meet one at a party to show just how much cooler and better you are at real life. But that's how it is, and it can't be fixed. --I can't brain today I have the dumb (that's my new signature which I won't make a signature!) You got it all backwards. Mods become mods because they are superior to other posters. | ||

No. I'd say most mods become mods because admins like them (because they're friends, because they artfully suck up, etc...). But that's besides the point. I'm guessing you're saying that moderators become so because they contribute to the forum. But that doesn't make them superior. It means they contributed more on an internet forum. Nothing more. Nothing less. Or does TL.net require moderators with phd's and doctorates, benches of 200+, model girlfriends, iq's of 130+, 0 run in's with the law (or moral superiority of some sort) and senior class presidency? Nope. So mods DEFINITELY don't become mods because they are superior. I'm reluctant to believe that you mean what I interpret from your post (moderators are overall superior human beings compared to non-moderators), but if you are saying that, you are hopelessly wrong and have completely lost touch with the real world. This a brood war forum. One I really love, but it's just a bw forum. | ||

And that's fine, and what I suggested he meant. What I mean is that it's sometimes frustrating when a non-moderator feels he's better than a moderator, but everyone treats the moderator better and he is more respected. Now that's expected. And the only thing which can happen. After all, what can another member judge another member on besides his contribution to the forum. But that still doesn't make it less frustrating. And it's even worse when you feel you beat a moderator in an argument or whatever, but everyone says the moderator is right. And you interpret that as being because he's a moderator and you're not. Like a new guy, what can he do. He's not a moderator, but his opinion and contributions might be greater than a moderator's, but nobody is going to say that. And if he gets in a confrontation with one, that's it. He's wrong, and the respected mod is right. So basically it can be infuriating to be treated like less than someone, when you know you're more (at least in real life). A fact of life, but I think that's why alot of people lose their cool and get banned. | ||

he came back and posted some more, after being banned. that alone deserves a ban IMO. but no he was given a second chance. with that chance he came to this thread for the sole purpose of pissing all over uhjoo and saying "you should be stripped of your mod status you abusive...." i think everyone in TLnet would ban him. its just straight up disrespectful. to a mod none the less. so add in stupid. i found nothing intelligent in any of his posts. the very first thing he said in this thread was "uhjoo is a horrible moderator." yeah. real intelligent. especially when uhjoo did, apparently, what 80% of TLnet was waiting for moderation wise. so again, the only problem i find with moderation is its leniancy at wrong times :| | ||

After 1 temp ban? After 3? Or is it by mod discretion which I think it should be at. But maybe Stimey lost his girlfriend or something and just needed to blow some steam, yeah? | ||

Stimey never bothered me in the slightest. I was aware he made some posts that people are justified in hating. Whenever I came across them myself, I never even finished reading them. This is probably what steve's friends were like with him. Steve did used to bother me (before my enlightened stoicism  ). I only really noticed his stupid posts (another similarity with Stimey). I never saw any of his funny ones (or didn't think he was funny), only saw a bit of one of his apparently great MS Paint threads. But because I know other people like him, it is better for the forum if he stays, and him leaving doesn't make my life any better...Noting the similarities of Stimey and Steve. People only noticing the good, others only noticing the bad, their very similar infractions... I don't know why Steve was a 2 week ban and Stimey permanent. I remember at his first ban he eventually made his own forum. I didn't stick around to see what happened but they didn't look like they were going to last, but does anyone have that url? | ||

Manifesto did not address a bunch of the things Stimey brought up about him. There were some very personal things, but that's life. Stimey had the guts to come straight at Mani with his opinion so Mani should have the guts to respond to everything instead of taking the easy route and banning him. Instead of addressing Stimey we are talking about him behind his back and it feels wrong. | ||
