:x if theres one more mod made for this board :angry: :frusty: :frusty: :frusty:

[I.am]

I guess what Forum Star reflects is a respected member.
Although, I know why it was created :D just to honor the ex-mods, admins etc. but to most it appears its even open for others. :D

.and yes MM indeed. :)

This former mod thinks it's time to pull some heads out of some asses and just DO IT!

You are exactly right stars are pathetic and useless now can take 1 person 1 hour to get 2 stars and 1 week to get 5 stars these days

no you want to know what i think??

if a member has been registered for over a year then they should be a Forum star as long as they have a average over 4 posts per day to say that they have been loyal and stayed here for a year and has contributed to the board for that long

[RealitY]

Well I guess I see your point now, I did kinda value my stars at one time, but not any longer, so I guess I agree with you both on this...

[uNz[i]]

What a waste of server space.

Seriously, who really gives a rat&#39;s ass about meaningless forum stars or bullshit member titles?
They are WORTHLESS in the REAL WORLD.

I refuse to accept that one member is superior to another on this forum.
If a member spends an unhealthy amount of time posting here instead of having a life,
they should be given psychiactric help, not made a star.

Just say NO to bogus elitism. :rolleyes:

[RealitY]

Ah the other side of the fence, and I might tend to agree as well...

:lol: :lol:

[Illuminati]

To me, the Forum Star thread is a whole bag of confusion :huh:

It&#39;s current use is to show ex-mods and team members who&#39;ve gone beyond their past duty and shouldn&#39;t have that time forgotten. In one part, it&#39;s pretty a good idea - It means that new members can see who&#39;s been & gone =) In another part though, there&#39;s a long list of people who could still fall into that category - Paul, VB, even Balamm did a (debatable, yes) great job of moderating the board before the argument with jetje. In another, that&#39;s still going to create a small inside group of people - Dunno how Lamsey likes it but for me being in a member group of one wasn&#39;t as good as it seemed :blink:

So let&#39;s take a hypothetical situation now - What if the Forum Star title wasn&#39;t reserved for mods & ex-team members, but for everyone who did great. On the one hand, it could help members be recognised for what they did - How many have given there all to the board at one time or another but haven&#39;t become a moderator, once the only worthy symbol of their commitment to the board, because they weren&#39;t Mod material or there were enough moderators? On the other hand, it could create an elitist tier which could bring more trouble than good - Look at what happened when the SG Beta Tester member group were created for a short time before being removed. :rolleyes:

In the end, it&#39;s debatable how the Forum Stars be done. Personally, they&#39;ve done their work so their work will already be known by others telling, with or without the Forum Stars :smilie4:

[jetje]

In the end it&#39;s quite simple, the forum stars never asked to be one. The only difference with a lot of very good contributing members is that being part of the admin/mod team they did had some more (visible) responsibilities and did have access to team chat (the mod room) ;) Being a forum star they still have access in there and can debate with the admin/mod team.... Which is a good idea imo B)
Just because of the last part it is not such a good idea to make all "Stars from the forum" --&#62; Forum Stars. B)

I think you are underestimating people on this board, most of us know that MM is a "forum-star" we don&#39;t need stars to tell us this, they are pretty worthless really.

Are you really that bored? :blink:

Why?

Please justify this, and explain the benefits to the board.

Also explain what your interpretation of what a "forum star" is and if you, yourself, would qualify...

[Rappy]

I wouldn&#39;t qualify and if you think MM shouldn&#39;t be one then you are blind

Jesus Christ, you really think that the admins (who have many years of experience working with the internet) don&#39;t know better than a whining little brat such as yourself?

There&#39;s no point whining because what the admins have decided to do hasn&#39;t got the RapFan Seal of Approval. Life doesn&#39;t work like that.

Take all forum stars together and put them somewhere warm, dark and safe :)

[RealitY]

I think there are plenty of people that would qualify to be forum stars by your standard of being helpful, many of us have spent allot of time here and much of it with the sole purpose of being helpful, thats was this board is and has been about to many of us.

Just because you have not seen FC or Lamsley&#39;s contributions while you have been here gives you no right to insult them in your pathetic quest of stars for MM, not to mention you are and would be quite embarrassing to anyone that you would attempt to represent.

At this point I think there should be a new category called forum retard and you should be officially crowned king of that group, now please stfu already...

This will be awarded to any member who has been here for over a year, they will have their own world where they can moan about the state of the board, the decline of the lounge and reminisce about members who don&#39;t post here anymore (preseumabley cos they got a life...).

Nope. The only things we can do which normal members can&#39;t are accessing Team Chat (and I make the point here that I haven&#39;t posted in there since stepping down and have no intention of doing so), and starting polls.

Otherwise we&#39;re normal members - no IP tools, no thread-manipulation, no moderation, no access to warn levels, nothing.

We all know what anger is, and we&#39;ve all felt it: whether as a fleeting annoyance or as full-fledged rage.

Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems—problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. And it can make you feel as though you&#39;re at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion. This brochure is meant to help you understand and control anger.

What is Anger?

The Nature of Anger

Anger is "an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage," according to Charles Spielberger, PhD, a psychologist who specializes in the study of anger. Like other emotions, it is accompanied by physiological and biological changes; when you get angry, your heart rate and blood pressure go up, as do the levels of your energy hormones, adrenaline, and noradrenaline.

Anger can be caused by both external and internal events. You could be angry at a specific person (Such as a coworker or supervisor) or event (a traffic jam, a canceled flight), or your anger could be caused by worrying or brooding about your personal problems. Memories of traumatic or enraging events can also trigger angry feelings.

Expressing Anger

The instinctive, natural way to express anger is to respond aggressively. Anger is a natural, adaptive response to threats; it inspires powerful, often aggressive, feelings and behaviors, which allow us to fight and to defend ourselves when we are attacked. A certain amount of anger, therefore, is necessary to our survival.

On the other hand, we can&#39;t physically lash out at every person or object that irritates or annoys us; laws, social norms, and common sense place limits on how far our anger can take us.

People use a variety of both conscious and unconscious processes to deal with their angry feelings. The three main approaches are expressing, suppressing, and calming. Expressing your angry feelings in an assertive—not aggressive—manner is the healthiest way to express anger. To do this, you have to learn how to make clear what your needs are, and how to get them met, without hurting others. Being assertive doesn&#39;t mean being pushy or demanding; it means being respectful of yourself and others.

Anger can be suppressed, and then converted or redirected. This happens when you hold in your anger, stop thinking about it, and focus on something positive. The aim is to inhibit or suppress your anger and convert it into more constructive behavior. The danger in this type of response is that if it isn&#39;t allowed outward expression, your anger can turn inward—on yourself. Anger turned inward may cause hypertension, high blood pressure, or depression.

Unexpressed anger can create other problems. It can lead to pathological expressions of anger, such as passive-aggressive behavior (getting back at people indirectly, without telling them why, rather than confronting them head-on) or a personality that seems perpetually cynical and hostile. People who are constantly putting others down, criticizing everything, and making cynical comments haven&#39;t learned how to constructively express their anger. Not surprisingly, they aren&#39;t likely to have many successful relationships.

Finally, you can calm down inside. This means not just controlling your outward behavior, but also controlling your internal responses, taking steps to lower your heart rate, calm yourself down, and let the feelings subside.

As Dr. Spielberger notes, "when none of these three techniques work, that&#39;s when someone—or something—is going to get hurt."

Anger Management

The goal of anger management is to reduce both your emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. You can&#39;t get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that enrage you, nor can you change them, but you can learn to control your reactions.

Are You Too Angry?

There are psychological tests that measure the intensity of angry feelings, how prone to anger you are, and how well you handle it. But chances are good that if you do have a problem with anger, you already know it. If you find yourself acting in ways that seem out of control and frightening, you might need help finding better ways to deal with this emotion.

Why Are Some People More Angry Than Others?

According to Jerry Deffenbacher, PhD, a psychologist who specializes in anger management, some people really are more "hotheaded" than others are; they get angry more easily and more intensely than the average person does. There are also those who don&#39;t show their anger in loud spectacular ways but are chronically irritable and grumpy. Easily angered people don&#39;t always curse and throw things; sometimes they withdraw socially, sulk, or get physically ill.

People who are easily angered generally have what some psychologists call a low tolerance for frustration, meaning simply that they feel that they should not have to be subjected to frustration, inconvenience, or annoyance. They can&#39;t take things in stride, and they&#39;re particularly infuriated if the situation seems somehow unjust: for example, being corrected for a minor mistake.

What makes these people this way? A number of things. One cause may be genetic or physiological: There is evidence that some children are born irritable, touchy, and easily angered, and that these signs are present from a very early age. Another may be sociocultural. Anger is often regarded as negative; we&#39;re taught that it&#39;s all right to express anxiety, depression, or other emotions but not to express anger. As a result, we don&#39;t learn how to handle it or channel it constructively.

Research has also found that family background plays a role. Typically, people who are easily angered come from families that are disruptive, chaotic, and not skilled at emotional communications.

Is It Good To "Let it All Hang Out?"

Psychologists now say that this is a dangerous myth. Some people use this theory as a license to hurt others. Research has found that "letting it rip" with anger actually escalates anger and aggression and does nothing to help you (or the person you&#39;re angry with) resolve the situation.

It&#39;s best to find out what it is that triggers your anger, and then to develop strategies to keep those triggers from tipping you over the edge.

Strategies To Keep Anger At Bay

Relaxation

Simple relaxation tools, such as deep breathing and relaxing imagery, can help calm down angry feelings. There are books and courses that can teach you relaxation techniques, and once you learn the techniques, you can call upon them in any situation. If you are involved in a relationship where both partners are hot-tempered, it might be a good idea for both of you to learn these techniques.

Some simple steps you can try:

Breathe deeply, from your diaphragm; breathing from your chest won&#39;t relax you. Picture your breath coming up from your "gut."

Slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as "relax," "take it easy." Repeat it to yourself while breathing deeply.

Use imagery; visualize a relaxing experience, from either your memory or your imagination.

Nonstrenuous, slow yoga-like exercises can relax your muscles and make you feel much calmer.
Practice these techniques daily. Learn to use them automatically when you&#39;re in a tense situation.

Cognitive Restructuring

Simply put, this means changing the way you think. Angry people tend to curse, swear, or speak in highly colorful terms that reflect their inner thoughts. When you&#39;re angry, your thinking can get very exaggerated and overly dramatic. Try replacing these thoughts with more rational ones. For instance, instead of telling yourself, "oh, it&#39;s awful, it&#39;s terrible, everything&#39;s ruined," tell yourself, "it&#39;s frustrating, and it&#39;s understandable that I&#39;m upset about it, but it&#39;s not the end of the world and getting angry is not going to fix it anyhow."

Be careful of words like "never" or "always" when talking about yourself or someone else. "This &#33;&*%@ machine never works," or "you&#39;re always forgetting things" are not just inaccurate, they also serve to make you feel that your anger is justified and that there&#39;s no way to solve the problem. They also alienate and humiliate people who might otherwise be willing to work with you on a solution.

Remind yourself that getting angry is not going to fix anything, that it won&#39;t make you feel better (and may actually make you feel worse).

Logic defeats anger, because anger, even when it&#39;s justified, can quickly become irrational. So use cold hard logic on yourself. Remind yourself that the world is "not out to get you," you&#39;re just experiencing some of the rough spots of daily life. Do this each time you feel anger getting the best of you, and it&#39;ll help you get a more balanced perspective. Angry people tend to demand things: fairness, appreciation, agreement, willingness to do things their way. Everyone wants these things, and we are all hurt and disappointed when we don&#39;t get them, but angry people demand them, and when their demands aren&#39;t met, their disappointment becomes anger. As part of their cognitive restructuring, angry people need to become aware of their demanding nature and translate their expectations into desires. In other words, saying, "I would like" something is healthier than saying, "I demand" or "I must have" something. When you&#39;re unable to get what you want, you will experience the normal reactions—frustration, disappointment, hurt—but not anger. Some angry people use this anger as a way to avoid feeling hurt, but that doesn&#39;t mean the hurt goes away.

Problem Solving

Sometimes, our anger and frustration are caused by very real and inescapable problems in our lives. Not all anger is misplaced, and often it&#39;s a healthy, natural response to these difficulties. There is also a cultural belief that every problem has a solution, and it adds to our frustration to find out that this isn&#39;t always the case. The best attitude to bring to such a situation, then, is not to focus on finding the solution, but rather on how you handle and face the problem.

Make a plan, and check your progress along the way. Resolve to give it your best, but also not to punish yourself if an answer doesn&#39;t come right away. If you can approach it with your best intentions and efforts and make a serious attempt to face it head-on, you will be less likely to lose patience and fall into all-or-nothing thinking, even if the problem does not get solved right away.

Better Communication

Angry people tend to jump to—and act on—conclusions, and some of those conclusions can be very inaccurate. The first thing to do if you&#39;re in a heated discussion is slow down and think through your responses. Don&#39;t say the first thing that comes into your head, but slow down and think carefully about what you want to say. At the same time, listen carefully to what the other person is saying and take your time before answering.

Listen, too, to what is underlying the anger. For instance, you like a certain amount of freedom and personal space, and your "significant other" wants more connection and closeness. If he or she starts complaining about your activities, don&#39;t retaliate by painting your partner as a jailer, a warden, or an albatross around your neck.

It&#39;s natural to get defensive when you&#39;re criticized, but don&#39;t fight back. Instead, listen to what&#39;s underlying the words: the message that this person might feel neglected and unloved. It may take a lot of patient questioning on your part, and it may require some breathing space, but don&#39;t let your anger—or a partner&#39;s—let a discussion spin out of control. Keeping your cool can keep the situation from becoming a disastrous one.

Using Humor

"Silly humor" can help defuse rage in a number of ways. For one thing, it can help you get a more balanced perspective. When you get angry and call someone a name or refer to them in some imaginative phrase, stop and picture what that word would literally look like. If you&#39;re at work and you think of a coworker as a "dirtbag" or a "single-cell life form," for example, picture a large bag full of dirt (or an amoeba) sitting at your colleague&#39;s desk, talking on the phone, going to meetings. Do this whenever a name comes into your head about another person. If you can, draw a picture of what the actual thing might look like. This will take a lot of the edge off your fury; and humor can always be relied on to help unknot a tense situation.

The underlying message of highly angry people, Dr. Deffenbacher says, is "things oughta go my way&#33;" Angry people tend to feel that they are morally right, that any blocking or changing of their plans is an unbearable indignity and that they should NOT have to suffer this way. Maybe other people do, but not them&#33;

When you feel that urge, he suggests, picture yourself as a god or goddess, a supreme ruler, who owns the streets and stores and office space, striding alone and having your way in all situations while others defer to you. The more detail you can get into your imaginary scenes, the more chances you have to realize that maybe you are being unreasonable; you&#39;ll also realize how unimportant the things you&#39;re angry about really are. There are two cautions in using humor. First, don&#39;t try to just "laugh off" your problems; rather, use humor to help yourself face them more constructively. Second, don&#39;t give in to harsh, sarcastic humor; that&#39;s just another form of unhealthy anger expression.

What these techniques have in common is a refusal to take yourself too seriously. Anger is a serious emotion, but it&#39;s often accompanied by ideas that, if examined, can make you laugh.

Changing Your Environment

Sometimes it&#39;s our immediate surroundings that give us cause for irritation and fury. Problems and responsibilities can weigh on you and make you feel angry at the "trap" you seem to have fallen into and all the people and things that form that trap.

Give yourself a break. Make sure you have some "personal time" scheduled for times of the day that you know are particularly stressful. One example is the working mother who has a standing rule that when she comes home from work, for the first 15 minutes "nobody talks to Mom unless the house is on fire." After this brief quiet time, she feels better prepared to handle demands from her kids without blowing up at them.

Some Other Tips for Easing Up on Yourself

Timing: If you and your spouse tend to fight when you discuss things at night—perhaps you&#39;re tired, or distracted, or maybe it&#39;s just habit—try changing the times when you talk about important matters so these talks don&#39;t turn into arguments.

Avoidance: If your child&#39;s chaotic room makes you furious every time you walk by it, shut the door. Don&#39;t make yourself look at what infuriates you. Don&#39;t say, "well, my child should clean up the room so I won&#39;t have to be angry&#33;" That&#39;s not the point. The point is to keep yourself calm.

Finding alternatives: If your daily commute through traffic leaves you in a state of rage and frustration, give yourself a project—learn or map out a different route, one that&#39;s less congested or more scenic. Or find another alternative, such as a bus or commuter train.

Do You Need Counseling?

If you feel that your anger is really out of control, if it is having an impact on your relationships and on important parts of your life, you might consider counseling to learn how to handle it better. A psychologist or other licensed mental health professional can work with you in developing a range of techniques for changing your thinking and your behavior.

When you talk to a prospective therapist, tell her or him that you have problems with anger that you want to work on, and ask about his or her approach to anger management. Make sure this isn&#39;t only a course of action designed to "put you in touch with your feelings and express them"—that may be precisely what your problem is. With counseling, psychologists say, a highly angry person can move closer to a middle range of anger in about 8 to 10 weeks, depending on the circumstances and the techniques used.

What About Assertiveness Training?

It&#39;s true that angry people need to learn to become assertive (rather than aggressive), but most books and courses on developing assertiveness are aimed at people who don&#39;t feel enough anger. These people are more passive and acquiescent than the average person; they tend to let others walk all over them. That isn&#39;t something that most angry people do. Still, these books can contain some useful tactics to use in frustrating situations.

Remember, you can&#39;t eliminate anger—and it wouldn&#39;t be a good idea if you could. In spite of all your efforts, things will happen that will cause you anger; and sometimes it will be justifiable anger. Life will be filled with frustration, pain, loss, and the unpredictable actions of others. You can&#39;t change that; but you can change the way you let such events affect you. Controlling your angry responses can keep them from making you even more unhappy in the long run.

It looks to me like it&#39;s just another elite little clique for immature yappers like Lamsey to get a bit more undue recognition.

( Oh I recognize it alright ;) Cyber on dude&#33; )

I don&#39;t know what the fuck that boys problem is but I&#39;ve had enough of the insults and inuendos from the likes of him and illuminutti.

I thought maybe I&#39;d give it another try here but I just can&#39;t see staying involved with a community that&#39;s led by such insulting and arrogant pricks.

Suggestion: Change the name to Emotional Disorders Sharing Talk

It&#39;s the truth and you know it.

Hurry and end this topic now, you know you want to.
Even though it is on topic, it&#39;s in the appropriate section, it concerns this site, etc etc etc.

Balamm is the man... but you really can&#39;t call VB and Paul "immature yappers." :)

Oh jesus christ, it&#39;s just a friggin&#39; forum man, leave it alone, forums shouldn&#39;t be a part of people&#39;s lives, it&#39;s just a place to post random crap and have fun with it. I&#39;m serious, some of you people just take things way to seriously about people you don&#39;t even know in real life.

So the moderators, admins, and forum stars are "insulting and arrogant pricks"? Also, do remember you don&#39;t have to stay.

Ah, but the argument of &#39;why do you care about member titles&#39; etc. is a bit moot now.
I mean, why &#39;invent&#39; Forum Star if you don&#39;t value titles yourselves...

And don&#39;t tell me you didn&#39;t see this one coming :-" ;)

Finally - Someone&#39;s realised I am a nut job :lol:

Seriously though - What really is the problem? It looks you may have a problem with me and others rather than the "establishment" - If you had a problem truth be told I&#39;d rather you PM me with the problem instead rather than acting publicly like you&#39;re on a giant rant - I&#39;ve had enough of whines on other forums for this week, let alone here.

I&#39;ll admit that there have been some discrepancies in the past. But truth be told, none of them had seen near-fatal and affecting everyone so what&#39;s the point bitching about them? So a few ex-team members become Forum Stars - They get the same access to Team Chat as before. From what it looks like ex-mods get access to Team Chat without the responsibility - How the hell does that affect anyone else?

TBH I think the real reason is the extreme attitude that kinda makes you looked arrogant - You&#39;ve made your mark in the Worlds and with other aspects (Emotions site, PHP-Triad Extreme) you&#39;ve become a great help to the community again, but the need to get into board politics and almost predictable nature of attacking the team kinda makes sense while you&#39;ve been overlooked.

My guess - Start cutting the grudges you&#39;ve had with people, remember that they&#39;ve as much right to be here as you and stop responding to everything related to the board you don&#39;t like with insults & snide comments and you may get back on the board&#39;s pedestal that you apparantly rate yourself as being worthy for.

If the answer is no, I think ES5 may be looking for people from K-Lite to replace the absence of me & kAb ;)

Dunno - The last time I was there, they were busy with the ES5 ONLINE SOAP OPERA (© RadicalRom) ;) :lol:

EDIT: Either way, I had an idea while I was away - If the name of "Forum Stars" is the thing that&#39;s pissing people off, why not change it to something like "Retired Team Members" and get rid of the Forum Stars name? :huh:

[NotoriousBIC]

Ah well, you know what they say about soap operas and predictability :lol:

The same goes for the issue at hand too. ;)

p.s. What is the latest on the ES5 soap opera?
You just have to keep watching although you know the outcome...

edit: I agree with your suggestion Illuminati

[Lamsey]

The whole idea of Forum Stars is an idea of the administrators. All the members who have resigned from the team have requested to be moved back to the normal member group without exception (even Balamm). It&#39;s at the admin&#39;s discretion what they do with the member groups.

LOTR is a pretty bad film... <_<

:lol: Hey Withcheese, I was talking about the one below where it says Lord of The Rings &#33;&#33; :lol:
But I did see the first film of the LOTR series, and thought it was quite boring, so I never bothered to see the second and the third.

I want only 1 star and I want it to be really small.

Please remove my stars ASAP, thanks.

Well if you ever get a spare 16 hours you could watch the next two films...but it&#39;s not really worth it. You should spend your time more wisely like I don&#39;t. :blink:
