    What is it you're referring to? Do you mean that thread that Epistolry Richard locked further down this page entitled "Look Gawfd"? If so I can see no reference to politics or emotion in either your post or ER's. Nor can I see him banning or warning you. He merely closed a thread. That happens quite alot. Of course if you're referring to something else, I apologise - I've clearly missed it.

    no it was the other thread he made after that, called "aight aight aight aight", a funny Bartix thread reenactment, but apparently EB didn't think it was fun. I never read the entire original Bartix thread but I suppose it contained a few conflicts and hurt feelings so they probably didn't want to be reminded of it... Btw Roderick if you still have your signature left it means you got a very low warning point count, maybe even PM class warning which means 0 points and no removal of edit button etc., which is a pretty mild warning. I think the mods at this forum are a lot nicer than in any other forum I've been to. In one other forum I got insta-perma-banned for a single accidental double post, for example...

    He got a thread locked for bad spelling, that's harsh. Unless, of course, his posts were just a mash of bad spelling.

    Indeed. I don't think anything good will come out of this thread.

    Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom, if you really have an issue with how this forum is moderated, you can post a complaint in the Watchtower. Please don't try to start a forum revolution: if this thread is any indication it won't work and will just result in you getting banned. Permanently.

    Your third thread consisted of a 4-letter word typed about 6 times in a row. That was it. No other content of any kind. Completely, totally, and utterly unacceptable.

    If you are trying to obtain an extended vacation from posting priviliges, you are on the right track.

    indeed great memories. Now let us instead of trying to get a revolution with our uranian deathrays. Let us sing kumbaya, worship Aboix the god of 20 watt lightbulbs and learn about the history of the zipper.

    Ahhh... I feel I have arrived.

    Your apology - if sincerely meant - counts to your credit, Roderick, but your other statements and behaviour can't be ignored as a result.

    Unfortunately, members do not have the full amount of information here - there was a series of spam threads from this member yesterday of which the visible locked thread is only one.

    The threads were locked because they were incoherent spam threads, which were continued to be posted even after the user was told by me to take a break. Cronos, please allow moderators to speak for themselves and not ascribe them inaccurate motivations.

    I think the sublime response by Epistolary Richard clearly shows why he is a moderator. His method and foresight in dealing with these outbursts is quite amazing. Also, his patience has completely refuted of accusations of "fascism" (previously they simply were unfounded). The way he has chosen rehabilitation over punishment also astounds me, I hold assistant-moderation duties in the Page forum of the RTK clan forums and although the tight knit bunch there are my clanmates, I have closed threads and edited posts for much less.

    Anyway, I am glad that you have made an apology Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom, it is a good start. Now you may wish to follow up and edit that "fascist" comment from your apology, and in the future, find more constructive ways of releasing stress like beta-testing for EB and helping the mod. It would also give Epistolary Richard more time to work on superb mods like he has done in the past. That skip-ahead turn mod is immensely helpful in checking AI expansion among other things.

    I have a stiff mentality about such problems, however I reeeeealy want to be wrong all about it and hope things will get better with Roderick and that he will change the way he thinks who we are indeed.

    So what bartix and what fraction replaces armenia then?

    This guy is like a mean version of Abo on taquilal (mexion booze). Not a very nice uranian at all.

    You know, other people who aren't involved in the great joke that is bartix must be very confused by all this.



    EDIT: By the way, Roderick, the admins have every right to ban you. You're use of these forums is a privilege, not a right, and you agreed to obey their rules when you joined these forums.

    EDITEDIT: edyzmedieval, Abo can be found in the old 'beat the picture above you' thread. Just post a picture, he'll eventually post one to beat yours or someone elses. He also randomly pops up here and there.

    Hmmm. That was... interesting.


    I don't see how anybody could find the mods here oppressive. Sure, each has their personal pet peeves, but who doesn't? The moderating here is, overall, extremely uniform.
