So who did it?

So in other words, because some posters don't like me you're going to close my threads and not like me in return?

What do you even know about <b>moderation</b>?

I have a whole bunch of complaints about Glonk/asher... He has pissed a lot of people off. So yes, his actions are watched far closer than other people who haven't had TONS of complaints about them. That's the way it is.

Again... he reaps what he sows... So he can whine all he wants, and it isn't going to change anything. When he starts showing some respect to other posters, then maybe he will get some respect in return.

Ming - where though? In an On-topic forum or on the OT? What has he said that's so bad?

What has he said that's so bad?

$5 says 90% of it stems from the fact that I'm not anti-Microsoft like the rest of the OT.

I'm serious, that's probably where it all comes from.

Maybe you should learn to read...
I deleted your thread because it had turned into a spam fest, not because people don't like you. The other thread you started wasn't closed... WAS IT! The fact that people have complained about you only means that your actions are being watched more closely than other people. If you were in my position, you would do the same. It is our job to deal with situations when people complain... and you have logged more complaints than most people.

And, if all you are going to do is insult me... expect the same back.

Off Topic... I've received more complaints about him then anybody else lately (before his short leave)... so it isn't just my opinion...

How can I read something you never said? You did not give me <b>one reason</b> for it being closed until I started this thread. Now that I have started it, you're calling me a whiner.

I deleted your thread because it had turned into a spam fest, not because people don't like you. The other thread you started wasn't closed... WAS IT!

Actually, IT WAS. You closed the goodbye thread for no apparent reason, also.

[Ming]

First... I don't "OWE" you ANY explaination. I'm not going to post a response for every thread I close or delete. I have better things to do...

When people PM or start a thread on the subject of a closed or deleted thread, I will respond.
However, your response was to start an insulting thread... typical So yes, you are a whiner!

And your good bye thread stayed around for a long time, and was closed for the same reason... It turned into a spam fest.

Your "do people hate me thread" hasn't been closed yet... HAS IT!

That statement by itself should be a statement upon your ability as a mod.

Maybe it's just my definition, but a mod should not be someone who does things w/o explaination. If you don't want to answer for what you do, <b>don't do it</b>.

However, your response was to start an insulting thread... typical So yes, you are a whiner!

I was a tad pissed off at the time.

Your "do people hate me thread" hasn't been closed yet... HAS IT!

You want me to grovel now? Is that it?

[Ming]

I do answer for my actions... but not to you. I answer to the owners of this site. Being a moderator doesn't mean I'm your baby sitter... When people ask why I have taken some action, I will tell them. You can always email me, pm me, or ICQ me... and you can ask anybody, I will respond.
However, if your initial response is to insult me... and then you expect an answer... dream on

[Asher]

You're a tad immature, being 56 and all.

You are welcome to your opinion... but your facts are a tad wrong... I'm only 46

[Asher]

Close enough.

It's not only my opinion, it's pretty damn obvious.

You feel like you don't need to treat the posters with fairness becuase it's your job to please the owners, not the posters. That's either immature, or just immoral.

[Ming]

I have a whole file of complaints about you from members of this site... so I'm dealing with facts... not just personal opinion.

Since you brought up the age factor... how old are you

Frankly, I really don't care what you think about me... your opinon means very little to me. I do the job I'm supposed to do.
My job is not to make friends, but to enforce the rules of this site.
You are always welcome to disagree with my actions...
If you have a complaint... feel free to pm or email the admin here.
That is your right. However, I'm not worried about defending my actions...

Old enough to know what a mod should be. Something, for some reason or another, you have yet to figure out.

My job is not to make friends, but to enforce the rules of this site.

Which rule was broken? It was "spammy"? Who was hurt by this "spammy" thread? Nobody gained postcounts for posting in it, so I don't understand why you feel the need to stop people from posting in it. If people think it's spam, they don't have to read it. It's very important to other people...deleting it helps no one but hurts some people. The least you could have done is lock it instead of deleting it...

You are always welcome to disagree with my actions...

So stop calling me a whiner.

If you have a complaint... feel free to pm or email the admin here.

Christ...you might as well be sleeping with MarkG for all intents and purposes.

However, I'm not worried about defending my actions...

As evidenced by your tyranny.

People were spamming... therefore, the thread was deleted to bring it to an end. Even though post counts in the OTF no longer count, the rule against spamming still exists. So, the thread was deleted. It is that simple. I have a job to do, and I do it. If you don't like it... complain to the owners.
