Export thread

You know what is probably the biggest cause of the animosity of the forum? Locking threads. It leaves topics unresolved and people hold shit against each other for it which then carries over to other threads.

We're all big boys and girls here. I suggest the damn thread locking stop when things go south. They more than likely won't end on that negative note.

On the other hand, I vote we lock sooner, so it doens't spiral out of control.

Also, thispost is against the rules.

Chaz, I think we can work this out, too.

Take it to PMs. Jesus. Is it that hard?

Look, I apologize. I made my points a little too harsh.

Damn you, Chaz! I was typing a long post and your apology ruined it. Now I have to redo it.

I wish people would shut the hell up about the PM non sense too. What else would you care to talk about then? Don't open the thread if you don't like it. It's not like we all don't just bullshit around here to begin with.

Anyway, that thread was going nowhere and fast. We lock threads to stop these sorts of things from going completely off the deep end. The fact that we were discussing a specific denigrating term and how to handle it then turned into someone calling someone else by that name point blank is a stark illustration of not your point, but Kissinger's and Charlie's. You did more for their cause than you ever did for your own.

And this is just a quick warning about opening threads to complain about modding. It's one of the new rules and I intend to stick by them. I'm not very happy with people right now and I don't give a shit who gets what.

You probably should sticky the rules, though.

There's a BIG GREEN BUTTON that has the rules. Better than any sticky, I thought. Maybe not.

Sorry. That's kinda hard to read.

I still like you, Dave.

I will admit that this was the 2nd time I wanted to say something but it got locked while I was catching up the thread.

I don't think anyone can plead ignorance that was posting in the thread titled "Rules/Infractions", for fuck's sake.

Dear Chazwozel,

You have received an infraction at Halforums.

Reason: Trolling
-------
You had NOTHING productive to say in that last thread and you did anyway. That's most of why it was locked.
-------

This infraction is worth 1 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.

I don't agree. Some would end well, but only those where no one involved cares about resolution. If they're escalated to the point of locking a thread, they either are doing it for fun, or they are intent on being rude about whatever they're arguing about, and they're not going to suddenly change their mind and be civil. There's no point in letting the fire continue to burn. Thread-locking vitriol is pointless and doesn't solve anything. As for carry-over to other threads? Either be mature enough to deal with your issues directly, or be civilized enough to shut up about them. There's no reason moderation should be withheld because of stupidity and a lack of basic skills necessary to function in the world.

Jesus, today is making work at the office fly by! Keep it up, guys!

I love setting up obvious jokes that are so obvious that no-one can bring themselves to do it.

You know what really disappoints me?


Dave started this place. He could have said "fuck it" and we wouldn't have this place. Some of us would have kept up, but I don't know that anyone else would have gone to the trouble.

Now, it's been going a year. He could have evaluated the place and discussed rules completely in private in the mod forum. But he didn't do that either. He really cares about feedback. And when he wants to put some fair, well thought out rules in place, then he shares them with the people who make this forum, I hear cries of oppression and other ridiculous things.

Point is, he and ame do pretty much all the work, and I'm tired of hearing people bitch when they're trying so hard. There were a LOT of great thoughts in that last thread. It didn't have to devolve into what it did.

I gave him that infraction because he challenged the mods openly after the thread was locked... and not respectfully. That's a rule. I assumed he'd be smart enough to figure that out, but I have NO problem at all explaining myself right here to you, because I respect that people have issues with the rules.

But while you're complaining and worrying, please remember that Dave cares about what you're saying. He's trying to keep the place going. He's trying to get input. That mess didn't have to happen.

I've already taken it up in PMs with one of the offender's. The other offenders know who they are. Read the 'Rules' thread again and try to pinpoint where things go off the rails - I guarantee it wasn't Chaz.

And I don't recall "There will be hell to pay" and getting "revenge" being bandied about anywhere. Maybe I missed that posting?

Sincere response: Try not to let this e-drama get to you so much, guy.

Smarmy response: "go ballistic"? Watch out, there's probably a rule against that.


The actuality of it: With Dave here so invested in the place, (time, money, flat out giving a damn.) it is a big deal to him. It's a lot of no win on that end of things, there will always be plenty of criticism and bawwing directed his way no matter what goes on here.

The creation of this thread is really where things went wrong.

Adammon is upset because of my cancer line, which was completely offensive and which I apologize to everyone for it's brutal and pointed attack.

I know it was completely dickish--but it brings up a point. Adammon's rage against someone saying something brutal about cancer would cause him to get riled up and angry against the perpetrator.

Which was my point, in essence, about what was going on in that thread. I'm not trying to stir the pot further, as he did PM me about it, and I PMed back.

You are welcome.

You did not exactly elaborate on your statements. Not even after it was questioned. The logic that follows that is that it was deliberate.

What else can someone imagine when you say you would do "worse" than Chaz in this situation? You say it twice even.

Saying Chaz was not at fault because he did not 'start it' is reminiscent of my days in kindergarten.

Dave took his leave now but that does not mean this is over.

What can you do on a forum except post? I would have been posting a lot angrier a sentiment that what he posted had I been in his place.

What the hell is with some of the moderators around here? I feel like I'm getting threatened for having an opinion, jesus.

Kissinger and Charlie were pathetically wrong about their point, Chaz was just pathetic, the new rules system works, but I think we're all missing the important thing here...

user was banned for this post

I would have never expected that establishing rules, which was supposed to bring civility and let Dave rest a little would be used as an excuse to stir things up and to complain about things that were not apparent issues before. And it surprises me even more that things keep getting worse.

I think that ban was a good thing. Let's all calm down and expect that Chaz has too when he comes back one week from now. I think this is not something new even if, maybe, a notch up in intensity compared to previous conflicts.

Seriously. Whenever any of us people get offended or don't care about offending someone, or think you should be able to say something you aren't, try to count to 20 before getting all riled up and think about Dave. He already felt bad with the negativity some days ago, and these last threads are making it so much worse.

Thing I find amusing is Chaz removing his Wiki entry.

It's very simple. Some of the people complaining are the main offenders, and they know it. Not everyone of course, but some of the vocal dissent is from people who know that people are sick of their shit. Any attempt to get those people to act like human beings is going to stir them up, like poking a stick into a beehive. That's what you saw here.

I hope it isn't, sssh. Put simply, controlling words in order to curb behavior doesn't work and only serves as draconian censorship. Disallowing people to say '***' or anything like that doesn't end anti-gay bigotry; the bigot still hates but will just express it differently or with another word. All word censorship does is act like an overprotecting mother shielding her child from the cold cruel world, only the kid is actually a grown adult. People getting offended at words, to me, are more offensive than the word itself because they're causing everyone to baby them when they should be mature enough to handle idiocy on their own.

It's fake. The wrestlers are acting out a more-or-less scripted "fight". There's usually a good guy vs. a bad guy. The dude in the gif was obviously a bad guy playing his part to the hilt.

True. Honestly a kid that age probably shouldn't be there to start with. To me, he looks too young to realize that it's just a show. He ain't my kid though, so it's not really my call.

You know, you CAN add yourself and any info deemed worthy

You know, maybe for stuff like this, we should institute something they did over at the Hockey Zombie forums - redemption challenges. If someone's a real pain, ban them until they produce a video of them singing an original song about an orange or producing a poem about a battle between Sammy Hagar and Vince Lombardi - that usually just made the argument/trolling so ridiculous, it took a lot of wind out of the acrimony. Just a thought. I do like the temp bans plans, just throwing this out as an idea out there for extreme cases.

I added info for myself that stated it was basically a wasted click to look at my wiki entry. Thankfully I feel confident that that line has never been read by anyone other than myself. .... well, and Ame, who tried to revert it but I put it back.

a) I honestly can't believe this thread hasn't been locked yet
b) I'm drunk right now
c) Banning Chaz was probably a good idea...Even though I agree with him - up to a point - the way he went about it was inexusable
d) Certain people on the other side - no wait, screw that - Kissinger - were deliberately egging him on. Of K is really, honestly, seriously offended by the use of the F-word or the G-word in certain situations, he could've handled it about 10.000 times better. "I lost my temper" is no more an excuse for what he posted, than it is for what Chaz posted. Frankly, even if K was 100% in the right (it may seem so at first glance, given what he was arguing with...ut reread that thread and you'll see that, really, he did his part too), it still wouldn't be a good reason to go trollfeeding like that, and really go off into that territory. We all know a troll can't live on his own - most of the regulars here are, unfortunately, too aware - they've either trolled inthe past, or been trolled. Kissinger vs Chaz i much the same as the whole JCM vs Shego thing a while back - both were deliberately trolling the other, which lead straight to it spirallng out of control.

That said - thi s forum would probably be 10x nicer if Chaz, JCM, GasBandit, Kissinger, Charlie Don't Surf, Shego and Amy disappeared - but I wonder if it'd survive that culling before new peopel arrive...Or if it'd still be the same place. Oh well.

You know, maybe for stuff like this, we should institute something they did over at the Hockey Zombie forums - redemption challenges. If someone's a real pain, ban them until they produce a video of them singing an original song about an orange or producing a poem about a battle between Sammy Hagar and Vince Lombardi - that usually just made the argument/trolling so ridiculous, it took a lot of wind out of the acrimony. Just a thought. I do like the temp bans plans, just throwing this out as an idea out there for extreme cases.

There's a BIG GREEN BUTTON that has the rules. Better than any sticky, I thought. Maybe not.

Sorry. That's kinda hard to read.

Click to expand...

Yeah, just felt like pointing out that green really is hard to read. I was gone during the drama and only this topic made me realize there were new rules, and only you pointing out that it was in green made me find them. Maybe it's just my monitor but bright green blends right in.

But that green button just makes us SO ANGRY.

That said - thi s forum would probably be 10x nicer if Chaz, JCM, GasBandit, Kissinger, Charlie Don't Surf, Shego and Amy disappeared - but I wonder if it'd survive that culling before new peopel arrive...Or if it'd still be the same place. Oh well.

Click to expand...

Nicer? Maybe. But also 10x more boring. Maybe it´s just me, but I like to read their antics. Why so serious about that stuff?

Because their antics introduce a lot of vitriol into the forum environment. Dave really wants this place to grow and it will be so much easier without that. The forum doesn't need to (and shouldn't be) a free-for-all for people to enjoy coming here.

As I said, I don´t mind them. But I understand that not everyone shares my point of view. I don´t contribute that much but I like this place, despite Chaz´ "alpha male" behaviour or shegos "I´ll make you suffer " attitude

That was the best 30 minute read I have had in a long time.

It could have been worse. Lord knows if I was Chaz, it would have been worse. Dude's got patience.[/quote]

wait... what? You must mean Dave, right?[/quote]

Nope, I meant Chaz.[/quote]
So is that you basically saying if you ever get banned "there will be hell to pay" on the forums and you'll do anything in your power to get "revenge"?

Noted and taken into consideration.[/quote]

Thank you for putting words into my mouth.[/quote]
You are welcome.

You did not exactly elaborate on your statements. Not even after it was questioned. The logic that follows that is that it was deliberate.

What else can someone imagine when you say you would do "worse" than Chaz in this situation? You say it twice even.

Saying Chaz was not at fault because he did not 'start it' is reminiscent of my days in kindergarten.

Dave took his leave now but that does not mean this is over.[/QUOTE]

I may be misunderstanding him too but the way I read it was like. One week isn't a big deal for Chaz because he is patient but it would be big to Adammon because he would be super bored without the forum?

Yeah, I don't even consider that a personal attack, at all :-P
And even if it was, it'd take far more than that to get me going, but that's not the point.
Gruey's right, you know. The SSATPP threads were by far the friendliest places around here, taking nice little jabs at one another

Oh, and for the record: I didn't mean I wanted the people I named to stop posting - I like them. Like Yoink said, it can be fun reasing them, and it'd be dull without 'm.

Woah! hold on there. I didn't mean to be derogatory to you in any fashion at all. I didn't research it, but I thought I recalled looking at my Wiki and seeing two reverts, one that was Chaz's being cleaned up, and one that was (I presumed the same good intentions) mine being cleaned up.

I wasn't trying to blame, ridicule, lie, insult, maim, kick a puppy or any other such nefarious thing. It was a simple misrecollection that really, considering the facts, I didn't think could be taken wrong in any slight manner.

IF someone had the good intention of cleaning up the wiki entries, chaz's and my own, they were good intentions. I thought that part was obvious.

Perhaps my original statement wasn't clear enough. I added to my wiki page that it was essentially a waste of time to read it. Someone with good intentions reverted it to a state that did not include that line (whom I for some reason believed was Ame who was the one with the good intentions but my current lack of a head seems to imply differently) but I put the line back in and feel confident that no one has even read it anyhow.

The fact that I entered it again myself, in my opinion, should serve in no manner as a black mark for ANYONE else. Nor, since I stated that I put it there, was I ever under the impression that anyone could take offense to it.

I really don't actually see how I could have come over as such, but as it seems I did then I apologize that I came over as pointing a finger and being insulting.

Wow... so halforums is turning worse than pvp, because people refuse to learn their lesson with posters like chaz?

Still... nice to see all the apologists being made to look like complete tools... although Im sure some of you will find a way to once again forget all the bad things he's done, when he comes back saying his dog has aids, or something... as for the forum, methinks I'll be off, as Dave seems to have rather suddenly turned into a bad imitation of Kurtz on one of his famous power trips, and the irony of this whole situation hurts my head so much I can't actually post.


Have a good one, guys.

Good morning! Everyone having a good day? Let's look upward and onward!
