This isn't a dig at anyone, so don't take it as such.

Jonno, you're absolutely right.

Where does the responsibility in this lie?

So many want to point fingers to the mod team and the admins. It&#39;s an easy place to start and it just seems so logical. We&#39;ve always been here, since the beginning of the board. There&#39;s a few more of us now, a few different faces, but our modus operandi hasn&#39;t really changed all that much. If anything, we&#39;re more relaxed than we used to be. Don&#39;t believe me? If <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>samsamsamsam had pulled that crap a year ago, he&#39;d have found his butt banned this morning, or at the very least, with two weeks moderation. Remember the SuperKilla incident? SuperJude, KillaSin and Romeo187 received much harsher punishment for that, even though it was Jude and Tommy&#39;s first offence. Okay, it was a little more severe an incident, but it was their first warning, this was samsamsamsam&#39;s 4th.

Do we blame the admin&#39;s because of all the changes to the board? They&#39;re just trying to keep you guys happy. If they don&#39;t do anything, you complain. If they do something you complain. 7th as a host/admin is doing an incredible job. Since he has taken over, the downtime of the board has been almost nil. Remember what things were like when we had Jon as our host? 7th isn&#39;t afraid to try things out. If they work, great, if they don&#39;t well, at least he tried it. We&#39;re a huge board, and you can&#39;t please everyone, but negative comments don&#39;t help the situation. If you want to see changes, constructive criticism is always accepted much more openly than comments like "this sucks&#33;"

Is it the members&#39; fault? We used to come to here to have fun, find help with p2p apps, generally shoot the shit and kick back. Why does it seem that we can&#39;t do that anymore? I can&#39;t describe it without singling people out, so I won&#39;t go into detail here, but it seems that what used to be jokes, fun, humour, laughter, debate, witty repartee, and ironic sarcasm has turned into spam, childish taunting, name calling, and flaming. We&#39;ve got the same people in one post berating us for being censors of the worst kind, and in the very next post, berating us for allowing certain language to be used on this board. Hipocrisy at it&#39;s finest. We&#39;ve got people biting each other&#39;s heads off because of differing opinions, duking it out publicly, making everyone look bad. We&#39;ve got people spamming crap for fun - I&#39;m not talking about amusing threads, the likes of fugley, or J&#39;Pol, even though they might be considered spam by some, they are entertaining. I&#39;m talking about starting the same topic, 15 times in 15 minutes, just to amuse oneself. Or like last night, bumping 50 old threads, just because you think it&#39;s fun. Really mature. Let&#39;s do a how to manual on how to kill the atmosphere of the lounge in 30 minutes or less. That would be in the top 5. How do people think that helps the atmosphere of the board? It doesn&#39;t. It adds fuel to the fire, it pisses people off, it fans the flames, and then we get a few days where the lounge is either dead, or full or negativity. Because one person thought they would have a little fun.

It&#39;s everyone&#39;s responsibility here people. Members need to be a little more respectful of each other and the board itself. Mods and Admins do too. I think anyone who really cares about this place will take the time to think about what we really want out of it, and those who don&#39;t really care, well, we&#39;ll know who you are by your posts.

- done a good job of that didn&#39;t ya?



Vote Nikki D


or maybe not


BTW - This isn&#39;t a post disputing my moderation - I accept that - just that as I saw posted earlier , maybe some people are missing a sence of humour here. I have a IPB forum and know it takes about 2mins to sort out locked/bumped threads. The bumps were only through boredom rather than maliciousness and whatever else you said........If you wanna get angry and find a cause - good for you&#33;


also - I don&#39;t think this is what Jonno was talking about anyway - that was about flaming

samsamsamsam-

Don&#39;t you see, though, what your tactic does to others?

I come here because KLF is like my favorite pair of comfy old mocs; if I&#39;ve only got a few minutes, or even if I&#39;ve got all the time in the world, if I get up from a session, go to work, then come home to look and look only to find the last thread I posted on pushed back to page 4 or 5 because you were bored, you have earned my emnity.

I know you aren&#39;t here to partake as the rest of us do, you just barge around like a bull in a china-shop.

If you deny any malicious intent, think again.

I came to Rikk and Cowsy&#39;s to have a look-see; you&#39;ll never catch me doing there what you&#39;ve done here.

I think it comes down to a simple question of manners.

I never said it was the brightest thing I ever did - I was just having a laugh and it seemed funny at the time and later (with 2mins IPB work) it was all sorted out anyway.

Barging around?? NOt partaking to..?? WTF - don&#39;t you tell me my "why&#39;s"


I&#39;ve looked again at the intent and can&#39;t for the life of me see how you managed to look there.

Rikk&Cowseys - Yeah I saw your posts - LMAO

I don&#39;t have to tell you-I think you gave up the "why" when you said you did it out of boredom, yes?

Are you saying you did it with no discernable intent?

Mindlessly, to use another word?

Okay-leave intent out of the equation, and look at the effect, then.

You did what you did, for no reason you can say, then deny others their right to take exception?

How thoughtful of you.

Nah you put the "why" as "I know you aren&#39;t here to partake as the rest of us do, you just barge around like a bull in a china-shop."


"Are you saying you did it with no discernable intent?" - I think you can read as well as me - I said no MALICIOUS intent.

"Mindlessly, to use another word?" - that&#39;s not another word for it and you were wrong in the first context.

"Okay-leave intent out of the equation, and look at the effect, then." - yup - 2mins work on IPB.

"no reason you can say" - you&#39;ve even quoted my reason - what&#39;s wrong with you?

"How thoughtful of you" - whatever man

" " good smilie usage



btw - feel free to spot gramma mistakes it&#39;s late here

You know, I had no problem with you whatsoever prior to that incident.

I guess my point is I don&#39;t canter to someone making unnecessary work for the mods here, even if it&#39;s only 2 minutes worth , as you say.

I came on looking to post, and your, um...activities did not exactly enliven the experience.

But, since you obviously didn&#39;t mean to inconvenience me, I am wrong for pointing this out.

TEHO, as I always say.

Apology accepted












j/k - I know it wasn&#39;t

I got no problem with you b4 or now

Last night I found a swf game similar to the one Muchspl2 posted on the last page of the lounge and bumped it for constructive reasons - the rest of the bumps was just me having a laugh...e.g. replying to "merry xmas" and so on. It was funny to me (and likely some people(as posted)) although not to you (and likely some other people(as posted)) but it was all made in humour (however bad you want ot call it) and I always knew that it wouldn&#39;t cause any harm - it would drop to the bottom again or get locked and do the same.

If you don&#39;t get the joke (a lame one I admit) then so be it and all bumped thread have gone.

As for MOD work - even though I know 50 bumped posts frm 2002 takes 2mins work to sort out I PM&#39;d the mods on duty and apologised for that - do I have to do the same for you?

...........again, I admire your spam but please try to keep it more intelligent as you&#39;ll make all of us spammers look bad

No PM required.

Now, as to the other:

You have discerned MY intent as re: my spamming.

That&#39;s dash cunning of you, and dastardly into the bargain, I must say.

As to the other - that&#39;s how it comes across - ask anyone&#33;

"cunning", "dastardly"? - Thanyou very much, I&#39;ll remember that next time I enter Whacky Racers
