If a member was offended by it, whether bad judgement or not by Samurai, it was best to pm Samurai.

This shit reminds me of a person at the office that overhears you curse while talking to another in the office, is so appalled and shit that they go to supervisor instead to the other office worker.

It's hard for me to say that a mod was wrong but in the context of thread (1,2, and 3 above), Samurai should have been cut slack.

To the folks that bitched about it, your aim was to get Samurai moderated and not to have the pic removed.

Your dry-snitching took wayyyyyyyyyy more effort.

The mods were doing a "job" and some members were being straight-up bitches and I'm soory I didn't pm Samurai myself in light of all the complaining. :dry:

For someone who goes on about other people whining a lot. You seem to be doing a good job a it yourself.:lol:

Bujub was placed on moderation for posting a link to a website with similar shock pictures for two weeks. Samuel got off lightly :dry:

Because bujub had already been put on moderation at least twice before, and had had warnings before about other incidents. Though I must say 2 weeks is a bit harsh, as most of those previous warnings I believe were either about spamming, or his signature, or something along those lines.

Samurai's never had a warning about anything, so far as I know.

Yup, harsh on both counts.

I only posted really to intimate that Samuel has probably used up all of his whinging allowance for this month.

If posting comment is whining so be it.

I'm not posting to get someone in "trouble" or basically acting like a little bitch.

If someone wants to fix something that doesn't need fixin' or bitches about something rather than take a shortcut to do something about it then it defies logic.

I didn't do that. :sick:

I didn't even know until I went back online again later. I initially thought the site had problems and went and did my normal business.

Yup, that comment speaks volumes. When troubles starts you always know who''s with you, even in principle, and who ain't.

Samurai found that out recently.

Fuck's sake, it was only a day :lol:

If you get moderated for a longer time then I'll personally organise an overt mass protestation whereby each member of the cause goes on hunger strike 'til you're freed.

I couldn't give a shit. Really. :mellow:

I think what effy meant was that there are likely to be a lot of cheats, the logistics of an online hunger strike are problematical. I'd have to send people around the world to check on how emaciated people were, or whether they were just saying that they hadn't eaten :dry:

I'm wondering if it mightn't be better all round to pickett outside of IKE's house.

I agree. I remember a member once posted graphic images of road accidents. He was banned immediately. Cant remember his name. Maybe he had 'previous convictions' or warnings though.

@Samurai, do you have any other accounts and if so do any of them have warnings? I was just wondering if it was an accumulation thingy.

VB isn't like IBP. There is no easy warning system, members don't have a warning level under their name. So there is no easy way to tell if a member has been warned in the past. I would have to look through certain threads in the Team Chat. I don't know if Samurai has had any warnings in the past.

Whats done is done. If Samurai wants to discuss it, he will PM me. He also knows that this thread breaks rule number 12, but he posted it anyway. I'm not going to argue over it in here, feel free to PM me Samurai.

He should have brought it up as a hypothetical case. That way rule 12 would not have applied. :)

Actually it doesn't break rules.

It was mainly aimed at the members not the mods. I feel the same way.

I don't really blame the mods. It was a little harsh but.....

yes im a member already with a few post.

Heh, what a bunch of complete pricks seem to be running this FST, eh?

From what I've read here (and I haven't seen the image/thread under scrutiny) it would appear that a moderator saw fit to leave the image up. Has this moderator been moderated for 'gross lack of judgement', hobbes? The dozey fucker should have removed it before it caused too much offense and then PMed a warning to Samurai.

This apparently isn't the first time that moderation has been meted out where completely inappropriate.
You lot really haven't got a fucking clue when it comes to man-management, have you?

Samurai is highly regarded by many members that have witnessed or received his assistance, guidance and overall contribution to many forums at FST; do you really want to drive him and other likeminded people away from FST, in favour of the post-whores? If so, then let us know and we'll all fuck off over to LivingWithStyle while you delete all but the Lounge over here.

Moderators: GET A FUCKING GRIP.
Samurai: You may feel more welcome here, mate.

if somethingawful saw that they wouldent be happy <_<

No Sir. I only signed up with this account almost 2 years ago now and generally haven't felt the need to make another. I'm not into the spamming nonsense that plagues this forum and I didn't see myself getting moderated sometime in the future. There is no accumulation thing as I haven't been warned / moderated before :)

At the end of the day, the post was up for 4 days before it was taken down and I was put on moderation. I know for a fact it was visited by mods other than Rip The Jacker without anything being said either in the thread, or via PM.

I wasn't feeling well for 24 hours so wasn't on much on the day it was closed but when I returned and found I couldn't post or anything, it was then I noticed a PM from RTJ saying that I was on moderation.

Busyman & Skizo - Thanks for your words guys. I was hoping I wasn't alone on this one. I'm glad others have found this situation ridiculous. Busyman - you might need to clear your PM's buddy I tried to PM you but I think your inbox is full :lol:

Hey Chewie, thanks alot. I believe you have hit the nail on the head with that post.

This was actually something I brought up previously with RTJ, as he/she was trying to educate me in why I was put on moderation. Here is a snippet of a PM I sent...

Thanks alot.

You have just proved me right :(

As stated previously, if I was PM'd I would have done something about it. End of story. Whether I "knew" or not whether it is wrong is not in question, we've covered that. The pic was posted after 2 videos of executions were posted already.

Chewie - I'm gonna take a look over to LWS in a min, thanks for the link ;)

You know, it's kind of funny (and sad) how some people take this so seriously.

You were put on moderation for 2 days, it's not like you were thrown in jail for 2 days.
I mean, really... this is the internet. Samurai if you want to discuss it, PM me. Decisions made by the mods are not up for public discussion.

Some people take the internet way to seriously...
