Hypocrisy of this damn place.

[Provost Harrison]

...also he trolled against the moderation at CGN. Now I understand that there is a clash of wills here, but Ming just seems to be throwing his weight around here. I don't think I deserve to be treated like I am, just having my threads slammed shut on me.

Being relativly new here, I post this with some trepidation, but there does seem to be a double standard at work here. There is a lot of talk about spamming, yet organized spamming like the Coffee shops seems to be no problem. I don't care if people do it in the shop, if that's their bag, who am I to say different? I have had some good conversations here(with urban ranger,for one), and at times it seems that people do get away with violating the rules, like that British guy that always knocks americans, for instance. As far as post counts and such, they don't concern me in the least. PH may be angry, but I do in fact agree with some of the things he says. If the code of conduct is to be inforced, it should aply to everyone equaly, no matter how long they have been here, or who their friends with. It is not my site, I don't have a say in how it's run, but double standards do exist here. I'm not looking to cause trouble, but I do see it.

Which speech will the mods use.....let's see.... I suspect they'll go for the "if you don't like it, you can leave" speech. Its a real crowd pleaser

This thread is starting to get repugnant.
It looks to be the awakenings of another self-righteous consortium bemoaning about its collective wounded pride and calling out for justice for the rather trivial slights some members may have experienced.

The thread was well closed. Whether Spam or not, it was too close to an attack on a poster, namely Ming, which is expressly prohibited by the guidelines of the site.

Ming calls everyone a spamer, and from what I’ve seen he deletes all threads with equal equanimity.
God only knows how many of mine he’s killed.

So for evolution’s sake, let’s find something better to complain about.
However if one must continue this farce in the name of fair play, then take it to PM, or put it to here: http://apolyton.net/cgi-bin/ubb/foru...0&DaysPrune=10
where it should have started in the first place.

Provost is my favorite Euro. Don't go.

I agree with this whole heartedly.

Only a matter of minutes now before Ming punches in and starts the day by making some toast...

[Provost Harrison]

Well what is your view on this matter Winston?

[Winston]

Well PH, I've had similar sentiments in the past like you have now. Rarely for myself though, mostly outraged at admins' decisions of inequal justice towards others, you know. I went away for two months recently because of it, but I've settled back in and chosen to ignore any inequality for the time being...

That said, only on a few occassions have I seen Ming display dubious acts of moderation, it's mostly been MarkG who's acted like a one eyed gunman with the sun in his eyes.

I say try and get over it. Tomorrow's a new day. That's about the only advice I can offer, and I still say this thread is doomed. Creating a thread in the OT is not the way to go about it.

Edit: Oops, substituted threat for thread in the last sentence.

I wouldn't have done this if my ICQ conversation with Ming wasn't quite as fruitless as it was. But I want to draw a bit of fire as well, I want to see what the response is to me from other posters. I just wish Ming wouldn't treat me with such contempt, I am not that bad a bloke.

When threads like this are allowed to run on, it can only mean one thing: AN ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE MODS

Repent I say! Recant! Before its too late!

Could you point out this contempt for me please?

I'm just curious.

[Provost Harrison]

Well, you would have to read the ICQ transcript, but that is private and I don't have it on me.
