[serious] Off Topic Moderation Input - Part 2

[Ming]

One of the advantages of owning the site.
I don't make any money at this...
I spend time everyday cleaning out spam, and still miss a ton of it...
I do this so the old timers/gamers still have a place to come if they so desire.
So if I want to do what I want, I do it.
And again, if people don't like it, they don't have to post.

[Bereta_Eder]

I agree to all that Ming.

And I'm gratefull that you kept the site up


my question is what did I say that was so dire?


Is your fight with kid so hard that you delete posts that uphold him?

You're better than that man and more secure


go ahead, delete me if you want

[Ming]

No... I saw it just as another spam thread with some posters name in the Title.
Frankly, I didn't even care what it said.

And I prefer people to walk away on their own.
Perma bans don't really appeal to me since there is no way to really stop somebody from posting, and I have no intention of getting into a silly game of "wack a DL"
I try to let people make their own choices... with sometimes a nudge tossed in

[Bereta_Eder]

I always had one handle man. (except one time)


I didn't say anything offensive/ I just disagreed with you


it is rather sad

[Bereta_Eder]

LOL you want me to leave,... just because I prefer kid over you?!!!


hahaashahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I won't

[Bereta_Eder]

However, if I made your life hard in any way do tell me and I'll try to rectify it


Don't chase me away because of opinion Ming

[Ming]

And what exactly is "sad".
You asked, and I stated why I deleted it.
You have already started multiple threads with Serb in the title, and I'm bored with it.
We have a unstated rule about starting threads about other posters. I always ignore one or two if they aren't insulting, and if the person in the title doesn't ask me to delete it.
So since there were far too many of those threads on the first page, it's time to get it under control before everybody is starting threads about everybody else. We saw that happen in the past and it won't happen again.

Fine. I get it. You're the boss. Now I'm asking you did you delete the post about kid because it was jsut another post about a user or did you delete it because it was a post praising someone you don't like?


Yeah I get private initiative


Again if I make your life as a mod difficult I'll try and rectify it

Don't chace opinion man, you're much better than that

[Ming]

You are the one trying to make this personal
I don't care if you post or not.
I do care about spam and that people behave themselves.
And again, nothing is forcing you to post here.
If you don't like my rules on my site, tough.

[Bereta_Eder]

Yeah I don't think I broke some rule

I think you got angry because I supported kid,


what did I do that was wrong?


spam? fine

I'll curtail it


but come on Ming

[Ming]

Fine. I get it. You're the boss. Now I'm asking you did you delete the post about kid because it was jsut another post about a user or did you delete it because it was a post praising someone you don't like?

Frankly, I didn't even read the post... I didn't care what it said, but I did care that it was another "personal" thread started.
Zee kind of praises Kid all the time (or so Kid thinks so) and I have no problem with his posts until I think they cross the line into spam.
I've deleted many Serb posts when he goes on a drunk posting spree, but have not problem with his whole anti America stuff.
Kid posts his wild ass conspiracy theories all the time, as he only gets shut down when he falls into his old I'm just posting insults now mode...
Decisions are made for insults, spam, and keeping the forums running in the way I want.
Like or dislike have nothing to do with it

[Bereta_Eder]

Your site...

yep it is your site

but it is a greek site


And you'll indeed have to ban me

But will you ban me because I support Kid?

[Bereta_Eder]

What IS the way that you want the forums to be run?

Is all I'm asking

I made a post praising Kid with "kid" in the title that's all I did man

[Bereta_Eder]

And you are furius against kid, I don't care about that,
I judge posters.

I made a thread with a poster handle in the title in which I praised him and said that you're after him

It is my democratic right


where am I wrong

[Ming]

This isn't a democracy. It's a privately owned site and I get to make the rules.
I don't allow threads about other posters. Again, as long as it doesn't turn into a problem, I look the other way sometimes, but when I see multiple threads with people's names in the title, I take action.
But,, feel free to praise Kid all you want in one of the many threads.
I personally think think Kid is just a troll and he posts for attention. If he really believes all the stuff he posts... that is sad.
I'm too old to "Hate" people, and I go after people for hate speech, spam, insults and other rules violations, not because I disagree with them. If I went after all the people that I disagreed with, we would have even fewer posters than we have now.
