And the show has reached a new low... Honestly people, is it really that hard to just move on? And if you can´t move on, is it really so hard to *not* resort to flinging cheap insults at the other side? This whole saga pretty much proves that the great unwashed of TLR *don´t* have the maturity to deal with something even as banal as the workings of these forums. If we can´t handle that, what makes you think we can handle a genuine hot-button issue like homosexuality? Edited by - Codename on 3/3/2005 6:36:04 AM

Wizard like as if I started it. I don´t see you saying anything to anyone else. So you´re prejudice to females. Smiles and giggles.

Anything I say can and will be used against me right now I guess <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> As for my prejudices towards females... don´t get me started <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> (if anyone missed it, that was a joke... just a joke, no need to start a discussion because of the joke I just made <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>)

Glad you stay on the bridge, Wiz, and don´t loose your sense of humour here.

I did say I was smiling. I have a sense of humor at least I like to think I do.

Wow, you spend a day at work and miss gold. Right kids...its looking interesting. bp : "Why what possible reason do you have to destroy your own community???" Likewise. Man? Why do you persist in Dungeon Siege worship? Why do you delete, edit and lock posts and threads? Why do you drive people away in droves? Why dont you re-evaluate the moderators you have in your employ to get rid of those who cause problems and are bigotted and acting out of self interest instead of on behalf of the site? Why do you continue to ignore the community? What gets me is that you STILL dont see why this is happening. You think that one day we woke up and thought SIMULTANIOUSLY that today was the day we were going to start *****ing about the site and the mods? You think it was some strange coincidence that people are still waking up and deciding that today, unlike yesterday, theyre going to speak-out about the p*ss poor job being run here? WE WERE DRIVEN TO THIS!! Cassy : hello. slarti : *hug*

Hello Arcon nice to meet you and all the others. I´m new to posting but not new to the site or Freelancer. It can be a very addictive, Freelancer that is! I think your words will fall on deaf ears. From what I was told by bp´s daughter on MSN he wont be making any more appearances in the off topic forums. You can use it as a fight club if you want. She also told me that bp is the most honest person that she has ever meet even though it is her father shes taking about and may be bias. She also said that he is very dedicated. Helpful and generous to people of all types and is a very busy person and cant understand why he wastes his talent and time on a stupid little web site that in the scheme of things is nothing to what he has accomplished. He don´t need the aggravation but continues to spend time doing things for this site even while his wife is in the hospital with MS he still finds the time to do what he does. Strange how people don´t look at that and just continue to abuse one of the good guys.

"She also said he´s kind to small furry animals" <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> sorry. couldn´t resist.

Wow! I just said that the girls mother has Multiple Sclerosis and you make a joke. You have a great sense of humor and a personality to match.

Hello peeps, long time no see. Ive been around for about 3 years now. I havent posted much in the last year or so. Some of you will remember me and the big fiasco over that ´mod´.Again, sorry for that. Now, to the topic. Either get your asses in gear or this site is going down. I have seen this happen to so many forums and sites, the results arent good. In my opinion, this new zero tolerance is poo. Im not going to swear to try and keep this as civilised as i can. Who cares about all this flaming? Just let it go before it wrecks the site, which i think it has already done. Dont talk about sexuality, religion, politics etc. It only gets people angry. Try to keep jokes not that offensive or racist. Cassy, ive nothing against you and i dont doupt your honesty but what you posted sounded like a big bunch of lies. It may be true but it sounds a bit over the top. A kind man with an ill wife and a nice daughter who is *attacked*. Sounds like a crummy movie. It could be true and im keeping my mind open to anything. And dont argue over who started it, your acting like a 5 year old. Stop flaming Stop argueing about religion, politics, sexuality etc. And Try to keep jokes as unoffensive as you can, just to stop arguements. EDIT:Stop argueing! Just leave it now!

I don´t know the person personally but maybe you should ask someone that does like maybe Eraser the other admin he must know personally instead of accusing someone of lies. Maybe she is sick and in the hospital who knows. All I see here is a bunch of kids mouthing off and having no clue what they are saying other then they have a chance to bash people and are taking advantage of it. I can see this is not a very friendly place.
-
Em, i didnt say you were lying. It did sound like a lie but i said that i didnt think it was. And before you go on about kids mouthing off, take a look at your posts. Lets stop this now, can a mod lock this or delete it plz?
-
Cassy, I wasn´t making a joke about MS. You appear to have had a sense of humour bipass. I was trying to make light hearted of the fact that you said about 20 times in one sentence what a great guy he is. I agree with PizzaPete (nice name by the way!), so out of respect I´m going to stop arguing with you and butt back out to where I came from. Maybe you Cassy should consider doing the same, seeing as you´re so easily offended. Edited by - slartifartfast on 3/3/2005 9:33:58 AM

Good idea I wasn´t planning on it anyway, like I said this is not very friendly. And Gowserpaul all of a sudden you step in now and say you´re going to do something. Looks like your a bit too late. Nice meeting all of you. Goodby.

You know, it´s quite depressing when threads about new measures to reduce flaming incite more flaming themselves. Actually, while I´m here, I may as well toss a few salient points into the discussion. This is my first post in the Off Topic forum for goodness knows how long. Let´s analyse why this could possibly be so. Could it be because the moderation has reached a level whereby nobody can have the discussions they want? Surely not. After all, the moderation on this site makes every attempt to be fair and reasonable, does it not? So it couldn´t be the moderation. Maybe it´s because all the interesting people have packed up and left. In fact, this seems to be very much the case. Virtually all of the people whom I had significant respect for are no longer present on these forums, and even when they are it´s only to make a comment to this effect - "Nobody´s here any more, see?" Maybe FL is just suffering a slump in popularity, so we have fewer users. *checks* No, the actual game forums here and elsewhere are still being used frequently. Evidently it´s not that. Even my fertile imagination can think of no more plausible reasons. That brings it all back to the moderation. There seems to be a difference between the policy and the practice. Or maybe I´m completely wrong, because I "don´t know what it´s like to be a moderator and run some forums". Now, the ol´ grapevine has informed me that a significant number of moderators are resigning. To quote Radiohead - "Your alarm bells should be ringing". Does not all this criticism, mass resignation, EVERYTHING, does it not trigger one iota of an "OH ****" in your brain? Can you not see that this place has gone down the pan? I distinctly remember a once-esteemed member of this community saying that strict moderation would only get more strict until threads were getting locked for the slightest infringement. Oh dear, look what´s happened! Perhaps THIS could be the reason why I haven´t posted in OT for a while. Perhaps it´s because any potentially interesting discussions are being deemed unsuitable and locked. Real world issues that people would like to talk about are being locked because they´re tenuously connected to politics, or religion or whatever. Good forums have tolerance, because tolerance breeds variety, which is the spice of life not only in reality but in online communites as well. Variety stops forums from going stale. Stop the variety, the forum goes stale. Look around you for evidence. Edited by - Darkstone on 3/3/2005 10:20:49 AM

I mostly lurk in the OT forums contributing here and there. I am sorry alot of "old regulars" have left I found alot of them amusing blokes. Wish I lurked less and gotten more info on them *sigh* any way my point is some left for personal reasons some left out of loyalty. Doesnt mean they are wrong or right we should not start flaming each other because of differing opinions otherwise the site is a waste. We shall see what happens in the future OT non rant Cassy, Slartibartifast is a character in the books of Douglas Adams Hitchiker books.

Zero Tolerence eh? I´m sorry, I left my brown shirt and jackboots at home What you´ve got to seriously realise is the harder and more hyper-sensitive you get about posting and threads, the more posters will get disgruntled. The more they will complain and get angry about this "hyper-sensitive" forum where everything is a bad word. Make a new forum where people can discuss these issues and things should work out. Either that or lower the "clicking" rate by about 50%. Well those are my thoughts.
