On Moderation

[Yde]

Alright, so I noticed something that isn't thread worthy, but that I want to ask people about.

I banned another account by the person creating troll accounts occasionally. This person made two threads thread and some people posted in those. In the course of conversations, the following posts containing some heavy accusations were made. I'd like to ask everyone reading this and especially the posters [ Franciska / The Saint / [MENTION=16539]Velius[/MENTION] ] for clarification or some evidence supporting these claims. If there is no base to the claims I consider them extremely insulting and am asking you not to make such allegations without reason. If you have a problem with the site staff, PM us. I've never been contacted with any complaints such as these.

Twinkinfo has a respect monopoly here. It shoved down your throat. Respect the unrespectable unless you want a ban.

i am faaaaar from the best, but ill Q with you tonight on my undergeared pala and outplay you in every respect, sound fun?

now /w your mate who happens to be mod and get this removed.

if i'm gonna be banned could you make it perma, i'm honestly sick of having to be nice to people just because they're mates with the teacher...

New here??

Only time a thread gets locked is when it actually has substance or a popular person/mod gets made fun of.

So what's the basis for these accusations of bias and random banning rampant on TI?

its simple, every single time i have a disagreement with an AP player it gets deleted. i can have the same disagreement with a random member and nothing happens.

i've also been banned by a member of staff for using a very common swearword, that's in lots of posts all over the forum. i understand that it WAS against the CoC , but it seems weird that it was only enforced by a staff member, that's in the guy i swore at's guild.

P.S. i won't name the mod(s) unless it's in PM.

We'd be hard pressed to find anything to show you because it's either been deleted as "trolling/spam/blahblah" or closed and buried under Twinkinfo Pop Culture threads. Bottom line is Twink Info is a democracy, and if you're capable of forming your own opinion you're the odd one out. If people bringing that to light offend you and make you uncomfortable then ban them.

The only reason I started acting like an ass is because the second I stopped lurking, 3 posters, mainly Lil, can't seem to get off my back and the mods do absolutely nothing about it. You don't have to look too far beyond in front of your face to realize how this "community" really works. If you want to call me a troll or just a poster you could do without fine.

The reason I participate is because it's a symbiotic relationship. Some of my posts contain substance, sometimes I ask for posts that contain substance. As for the shit that people shuffle around in between that, I could really care less if something I say or the way I say it offends someone. I'm not an angry person and 90% of the time I'm being sarcastic.

If you have the nerve to call people out on obvious flaws in the way you people conduct your business just save yourself the trouble and ban the people you have a problem with. It wouldn't surprise us.

^This is what I'm talking about.

You people call others out on public forums so you can have your drones jump in on the action and pump out some half assed nonsensical argument and tell you to leave because you don't fit in. Ganging up and metaphorically picking off the sickly gazelle. This is why I was a lurker for so long. The second I start posting I get harassed.

People complain about trolls on these forums but it's what the system produces, Garbage in Garbage out.

Oh really? So you know that mia PM'd me and told me not to bother you? From all your posts and how you act you must know that.. You were rude to me when all I was trying to do is help you and you have been a jerk ever since.. It's rude disrespectful people like you that cause drama that makes the mods life hard then you want to complain about them not banning?

Btw you wanted to mention me so don't report this as me harassing you.. Just replying to you mentioning me

The reason you got PMed is because after you threw your little fit on the forums and I said "If you have a problem with me, PM me" You began stalking me and quoting every single post I made, and I just wasn't willing to give you the attention you wanted. That's why a Mod PMed you. I reported 6 of your posts that were just trying to provoke me into a flame war with you. You aren't worth my time.

Re: Questions & Answers

Ah. So I gather I should already know what happened, and since I dared ask about it I must have been sleep-walking the last several months. The suggested consequence of my puzzlement and hurt at being accused of biased and random banning should be to ban the accusers, since no-one would be surprised at that anyway. Disregarding that the reason I asked is because I really don't want to ban anybody, ever, and even pushed to reimplement ban appeals. I give up, never mind, back to the regular Q&A please.

1. You are never on topic. The few times you are, you are just posting a "funny" one-liner.
2. Everytime I make a thread or make a comment, I get jumped on and harassed by you, being called gay, immature and so on.

Those two should be more than enough to have you permabanned from this site.

EDIT: It also appears as you have pictures of me saved on your computer, which I find highly disturbing.

i don't like how you keep saying i have a photo of you, when it's on this site, and is where i linked it from. but that's ok for you to make wild accusesions, right?

the rest is very true. now go through your post history, and see how many times you've done the exact same to NOT only me. now go ask the staff how many times i've reported it.... not once. i take it as it is, a joke. i'm really sorry you think ppl on the interwebz is serious... lighten up mate, life's short.

Re: Questions & Answers

Yde, respectfully, I think that this topic is worthy of its own thread. Clearly there are some issues that need to be vented by several parties and the conversation is going to spill well over a few posts as long as people keep replying to personal statements (legitimate or perceived) so I'd like to suggest you peel these posts off into a separate thread, and once you've done so I might add my own perspective, or perhaps just talk to you about it in-game.

It was also recently suggested that the Q&A thread be re-started, as the number of pages it has grown to meets or exceeds the number of pages of its previous iterations. I second that motion, and this dust-up may be the best opportunity to do that, if you're going to be in here moving posts to their own thread anyway.

My 2 cents.

Moved to new thread for your viewing pleasure.


Final statement: If you want to appeal moderation decisions because you feel the treatment was unfair or biased, PM the staff instead of writing whining off-topic posts.
