Forum moderators?

[soup]

Maverick, you have a lot to learn about life in general if you're going to call another moderator out like that, especially ph who doesnt piss anyone off except some random pos who does nothing on the forums anyway. You're in over your head, boy

STFu you pighunting faggot, you are the most retarded person ever



PH is a fat loser who thinks he's cool because he posts 4chan shit on here.


You can do whatever you want but in the end you are still a fat fuck PH.

good thing we banned money for "spamming" and "reviving old threads"

why is reviving an old thread the end of the world anyway? look at the dates of the postings if it's even a big deal?

apparently this forum doesn't promote activity! people have the options to ignore a user, so i fail to see how this matters. at least wait for people to complain before banning people 'just because you have the power'

it's like in the game, usually someone won't get banned until someone else does a ?cheater call

so i ask, where's the ?cheater call on money

I don't usually get in the middle of these types of posts. But everyone except for a couple of people has responded like I would have 7 years ago.

I often wonder what draws me to these forums just to watch a bunch of people acting like children act out.

I agree with PH on the level of: "this is an internet forum, who cares?" You're absolutely right. People who don't care will whine a little bit and then never come back. Those people spamming and acting out will eventually be the only ones left, thus making these forums quite unattractive.

We should ask: What is the purpose of this forum? A venue for e-children or a place for discussion?

I banned Il for porn posting a few months back...was a 2 week ban. Nothing major, but he has been warned and then pushes the envelope. In my mind he is either looking for the ban or attention?

The need to post the pics he did and as many as had been done are really uncalled for; I personally would never have looked at the Melee forum if it had not been for the attention it had received based upon the ban.

Is there really a need for posting porn to the forums? There is only 3/4 of the web devoted to porn already, so what was the intention for posting the pics?

Easily solve the prob by eliminating any picture posting to the forum...add a link outside of TW if you want, but keep the pic posting to nill perhaps?

I am on a few other forums and there is absolutely zero tolerance for the posting of any kind of porn.

When someone goes out of there way to make a post and then title it: "thread where ilya posts nudes without fear of persecution from nazi mods". What can one expect? Was I offended by the pics? not at all. Was it really necessary to post them with such a topic? No! What was the intention and direction of which this post was made? To annoy and create arguments for how the forum is run and bash the staff that maintains the forum.

At this point, I would only suggest that the elimination of any pic posting be put in place and limit Il's ban to 2 weeks. Noting this is only one of several bans for the same forums rule violation by the same person, it may be best to just eliminate pic posting all together as I had noted and perhaps this way the problem of posting porn to this forum will be a closed case. If anyone would be offended by this, we can just thank Ilya for his contributions leading to this.

I just don't get it though...it's as if it was a burning desire to make sure soft core porn can be posted to the forum.

If the bans are not the cure for this action, then what would be the proper rules for the forum? and what would or should be considered a violation of the rules? There is going to be a point as to which there is nobody happy with the outcome, be it a ban or not banning someone.

This debate is somewhat ridiculous and what may be really needed is a forum rules overhall and allow the top forum mod or whoever is paying for this forum to put their foot down and lay down the law, no if's and's or but's.

Basing a forum ban upon a violator and holding back from doing the same ban on another just becasue of entertainment or contributions by their posting should not make one above the forum rules itself, moderators included.

Give Ilya his 2 week and life goes on...am sure it will only bring about the same violation once again within a few months if that.

Removing the possibility to post pictures on this forum is quite possible the dumbest idea for this forum I've ever read. This will without doubt make this forum way more boring, and it will make a significant impact on general forum activity. Not only are you coming with this completely ridiculous suggestion, but you're also trying to pin the blame on Ilyaz. Make no mistake about this, you are the one we will thank for this when this forum goes to shit. Don't trick yourself into thinking anything else.

Why I appreciate your thanking me now Noah. You're the best...Love Ya!

i outlined this in my resignation post this morning but i'll put it out in the open for everyone else

we're talking about a forum for a game that is 12 years old, contains a player base of less than 1000 and loses another handful of players every single day

if this was a massive forum with tons of activity i would understand toughening up, in fact i'd support that

but the fact is this is a small community and we need to just let some things ride

posting porn in a subforum that's tucked away from most of the masses is one of those things, just delete the porn and move on

that's the way zeus!! handled things because zeus!! understood how important it was to maintain the spirit of the forums, of which ilyaz is a big part

coming in, beating your chest, issuing bans, moving threads (to the wrong forums no less), closing threads, basically throwing out the way the forum has been run for the past seven years and instituting your own set of rules when no one here knows who the fuck you are just isn't going to end well

props for the in-game work but leave the forum to those who know it best and stop trying to push for sweeping changes on something that's working just fine

It was trolling by the manner of the forum topic that created this. It is not as though it was attempting to be hidden in a sub forum.

Do I care about soft porn pics posted? No...although he could have re-sized the pic on one or two to fit the margins of which is also an infraction and also had some better looking women, but that is a different story.

The forum loses people all the time and I just do not see how one 2 week ban on this violation is such a major threat to the population? L1 TW gets banned for less? Not that I am a fan of what L1 TW writes on teh forum either.


So the idea of removing pics posted is not favorable, but perhaps the forum needs to limit the sizing of the pics being posted? In doing so, this can result in either you hosting the pic and directing the image from your own host server/FTP of which would warrant in many cases a re-sizing of the image to conform to the forum image sizing requirments. I am sure that will be too much for the majority of forum users to handle.

Maybe all the rules should just be removed? Then when everyone gets bent out of shape over who said what or posted this about that, there may be even less users on this forum.

I will say this...the ban created a nice spike in forum users today. Nice job TW!
