ZOMG!!!1!

That section has been needed for a long time. Better late than never!

+1 There's been a lot of threads titled help, cannot log in is FSC down,... etc.

Allthough, most of those just got disabled for trading, but still, it was needed.

Btw, why is Stellar disabled? He seemed a good guy to me.

yeah, i'd be curious to know why he got disabled.

Because he gave the OP in the PSone thread an invite and posted his email.

or at least, thats what i presume its for

So he / she got disabled for being nice, while there are dozens of scamming trader tards still running havoc? Way to go.

He got temp disabled for trying to give an invite to a new member, which so obviously broke the rules in public. It was a little harsh so it's gone now.

Yeah? Well why don't you report them then. I disable as many of them as get reported with proof. If you're not a trader I wouldn't even know how you can make the assumption that there are tons of scammers right now.

I don't need to trade myself to notice the complaints about scams in the trading section. Neither do I need to be Einstein to figure out that quite a few of those "ratio proofs" posted there are obviously faked / cheated. And the last thing I need is to become a Gestapo-like informer to make your life as a moderator easier.

However, I need common sense to see that banning nice people like Stellar, who basically wanted to help a newbie out and did not 'gain' anything out of it, is wrong, especially if it happened without warning.

Hey, I've got nothing against Stellar, ffs I've even invited him places. He got the standard infraction for what he did and now it's been reversed cause it was a little harsh. Didn't think he needed a warning originally because he had another active infraction. Hope that explanation satiated you. Now don't be a troll, piss off eh?

I just replied to your question(s) without sucking up. If that's 'trolling', it's fine with me.

I did notice however that you removed the 'ban'. Kudos for that.

Wouldn't it be grand if I nailed you on rule 14? I'm not as much of an asshole as you think I am and don't like suck ups either. Guess I'm just misinterpreting your vagueness and naivety in "she got disabled for being nice" with trolling. :dabs:

Anyways this has gone way off-topic.

shipwreck

Do as you wish, it's your choice.

Just for the record though, I never said that you are an "asshole", nor did I imply anything like that, I don't even know you! And I don't even know who banned Stellar in first place. I just strongly disagreed with the decision, and refused to suck up, that's all.

I agree however that this is going way off topic.

Whats the porblem T.S.O.L is only up holding the rules, but even he thought it may have been a bit harsh and reversed his dicision so whats wrong.

That's a nice addition, it will keep the BT section cleaner. I just hope people will think of visiting the sub-forum to help others.

Stellar

I was actually kinda thrilled that I'd have more time on my hands for the next couple of days. :lol:

Anyway, I can't wait to see more topics in the support forum (yeah weird I know). It's young so there's not much to contribute at the moment, but I'm sure some clueless people will come stumbling in soon. I put a link to the support forum in my sig to bring attention to it. ;)

Ya I hope this one will catch on :lol:. I'll be leaving redirects if users post their problems in the BT forum to hopefully get people who skip over this thread to realize we have a new section for help.

He didn't get disabled for being nice he got disabled for breaking the rules.Although in this case the disabling for 2 days should be viewed as more a reinforcement against doing it again than any real penalty .

And if your are suggesting that minor offenses are best overlooked and that only major ones matter I think that's a slippery slope to go down and I can find you about 10,000 policemen who might disagree with the philosophy.

Yes, but policemen are dicks. No need for dicks on the internet. Shouldn't we get a reprieve somewhere for crying out loud?

Everyone hates policemen until they are in need of one.

Sorry to butt in, but can we all just get along? Come on folks... hug it out. :wub:

I'd like to talk about the pressing issues that face the BT support forum.

IdolEyes787

05-21-2009, 10:45 PM

Why do you equate having a simple discussion with not getting along?

No wonder you were disabled.:rolleyes:

Stellar

05-21-2009, 10:47 PM

Well in the previous pages there appeared to be an argument. Or maybe it was a friendly conversation? :P

The hugs thing was in jest, obviously. I'd rather have all of you spilling gore.

Just for the record: I only didn't reply to your post IdolEyes787 because there have been enough off topic posts in this thread already, as mentioned earlier.

This said, I didn't see this little discussion as "not getting along" either, even if I have been accused of trolling, for whatever reason. I disagreed with a decision and expressed my view on it. So to sum it up: I'm cool. You cool? We cool.

Sadly no encouragement needed.

I'm always cool unfortunately people don't always see that.

I could attempt to explain that it is just a saying and not a personal belief but maybe it's better in this case to just agree

Yes ,yes they do.

Yes, but policemen are dicks.

Ya we've got one of those already. The only reason I haven't copied it over into there is that I haven't done the work of compiling it and it hasn't been censored at all or anything. I guess it would be good to have it'll be in there soon.
