Why can't people realize that they aren't above forum rules? I mean, it's not like there's 87218497`0984270984602918460`64098`64098364903650893650896348520647854602580246054 rules.Quote:

On a earlier comment, I think the moderators do a very good job.
Every now and then, people actually do make mistakes. It is only natural, no one is perfect. I have done a post before for example that actually had a naughty word in, which I posted without thinking. What happened? I had a moderator just edit it out, private messaged me just reminding me that it isn't allow, a slap on the wrist with points and expiry date.
It is direct, straight to the point, and it is lenient in the good way. I didn't mean to do that post, and I responded to the moderator letting them know I was wrong and apologised for making them do that extra work. The punishment justified the breach. I was kindly just reminded about the rules and sent on my way.
The thing is, what makes this good compared to other forums, some forums might ban you for 3 to 7 days for it. All it does is makes people feel victimised and unfairly punished. Yes, they broke the rules but think of it in this example, imagine you was a child and you broke a cup. It was just one of those cheap, easy to replace ones. You got the parents which say "be more careful" and you clean up your mess, everything sorted. Then you have the parents which beat their kids senseless over it. I believe .org operates much in the first example which makes people even receiving the punishment respect the person giving them the punishment.
I think the moderators do a great job, even ones I unfortunately had to cross with on official business.
They tolerate when we are mad. I recall being mad with BG for doing thread necromancy. Oh yes, I got one warning point and a minor warning.
Even though, he tolerated it and I apologized for it.
Why was Aemilius Paulus banned?
What... AP was banned?:dizzy2: why?
I believe he has been toeing the line in the Backroom recently.Quote:

You fail to mention that the reason you were suspected was that you were publicly bragging about hacking people's accounts. That casts a different light on the situation.Quote:

And apart from Lemur's, TosaInu's and Ser Clegane's account, a skilled H#kk0rz such as myself can post from any account at will, such as Louis'.
Luis is not going to be happy when he finds out I haz been at it again, lolz/ :balloon:
n00bz watcha gonna do.
Jolt.
My word, a mysterious hacker has appeared on the boards! How will we ever catch this master of deceit?
we should scan the forums and find unusual behavior!
*moves back into the shadows; avatar turns back into Aemilius Paulus'*
Such as suspension evasion?Quote:

One would keep that secret and reap the benefits instead of blabbering and falling into deep crap.Quote:

That's what's to be expected from a community: some care for each other. I'll tell you this (but keep it quiet please): hacking accounts and/or pretending to be someone else enrages me very much, because it disrupts the community. If anyone likes to be banned asap, that's probably the best way to achieve that goal.Quote:

Good music is still good. Last warning though.Quote:

Been here, I did that. Hacked by...Quote:

Hackers are not idiots, there are different types of hackers. Of course there are quiet ones working for a profit, there are also noisy ones working for no profit, wanna-be hackers and many other activities which are called hacking for simplicity, but have nothing to do with that.
There are no real benefits from hacking an account here. It's an account on a gamingforum, so it's very unlikely anyone could get rich from hacking all accounts at once. Whether anything is to be gained from it or not: hands off!Quote:

Frankly, you caused a fair bit of agrivation and misrepresented the actions of a group of people on the board.Quote:

Octobre 7th 2009: FearofNC tied with Warman.
FearofNC allowed Warman to use his account to circumvent Warman's ban. Intentionally aiding someone in breaking the rules is no different than breaking the rules yourself.Quote:

Why are the mods not doing their job?
