I wasn't even conversing with her, she just came out of the nowhere and called me a twat, bitch and asked me to "shut the fuck up" following up with other two other admins "SteelCurtain" and "Cthulhu Dreaming" giving her props for slinging unwarranted insults at me. If it was me that made this kind of a post anywhere I would instantly receive a warning but I don't even have the confidence in this forums Staff to even make a report on her because I know you guys will just use that as a opportunity to either give me a warning or ban me. So I don't think you guys are being fair here and I'm going to put it out in the open for others to see as well.

Oh, pull up your panties. I'm not staff and I'm not breaking any rules. You're pretty fucking delusional or you're purposely pretending staff will ban you for things that aren't against the rules in an effort to make them look bad.

Sometimes, you make great posts, and I want to converse with you. However, when you post shit like this, I remember why I rarely do. You've got a persecution complex, man.

Losty made fun of my upbringing.
SC and CD gave props to Shell B for slinging insults at me.

Is this how admins work? Giving props to someone that just started insulting me out of nowhere and for what a simple suggestion? A small request? That's not fair.
I know even if I did made a report on her post you guys will just use that as an opportunity to warn me instead. I just saw SC and CD not having any issue, in fact encouraging a post that was clearly made to flame me to the maximum, so if I did make a report I already know SC and CD will not like it and there will be internal pressure within you admin guys to agree with them, so you'll finally decide to just either give me a warning for "Report abuse" or ban me.

That's not a fair admin team and I have no problem putting it out in the open for everyone else to see.

Now take all of that and plug it into the Groucho scene I posted. Tell me if it's any different.

RE: Regarding the post edit time limit of absolute Doom
I'm not representing this as me against the staff. I'm not that important? Well I mean, within these forums you could say that I'm not that important because most people don't like me here because of my past behavior and I'm fine with that but I am trying to change that. Now outside this forum I have family and many friends that deeply cares about me so I'm an important person for them and I'm happy about that, so no I'm not an unimportant person and even if I am an unimportant person here I'm okay with that. If staff being fair is what you think then that's good for you, you're speaking from your experience but that experience is not the same for everyone else. For instance, how do you think staff will react if I report your previous post for insulting? I mean, I wasn't even conversing with you, you just came out of nowhere and started flaming me to the maximum that too in a suggestions part of forum, I don't think I could get away with that.
I know staff members have to vote for stuff and everything but just look at the previous page SC and CD were congratulating you for insulting me so it's pretty obvious they don't think you doing this is inappropriate or would even think about giving you any sort of punishment. They are both old guy admins so other staff members will also be pressured to agree with them, couple that with their general displeasure with me, they'll for sure decide to either warn me or ban me.
I'm not bitching if that's what you think I'm doing, I'm making perfectly reasonable suggestion in the suggestions part of this forum and no I'm not going to insult you back, if you want to do that you can do that in Rlyeh part of this forum. I'm sorry you think I'm a grudgy tool and I don't agree admins and mods are different.

Nah, it's your entitled attitude that gets you insulted.

We're volunteers. Nobody in staff is interested in editing the content of anyone's posts or extending the edt window.

Your refusal to take no for an answer is what earns you insults.

RE: Regarding the post edit time limit of absolute Doom
To be clear, pool, I can count on one hand the number of times someone has pitched a hissy fit about not being able to edit their posts. This being the biggest such hissy fit.

I assume people run into the edit limit all of the time, as I did when I wasn't staff, and figure out on their own how to deal with it, as you did. You're a big boy, you'll be okay.

As has been said 1000 times, staff are just regular members with some extra buttons. We can behave in a manner consistent with the rules. I reserve the right to treat you like a petulant child if you act like a petulant child. Your refusal to accept the explanation you've been given is typical of your behavior in the past on this forum. You trying to act like staff has been unfair after giving you several explanations and you framing it like you're just making a "small request" or a "simple suggestion" and we're being unreasonable is more immaturity, but I guess we should be used to it.

Just like the other thread, if you've got something in your head, it's like religious dogma, you'll defend it with blind allegiance.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I wasn't even calling you unimportant in the context of the forum. I was calling you unimportant to the staff's daily functioning. They're not going out of their way to target you.

That experience is exactly the same for everyone else. Firstly, I'm not flaming you. Flaming is different from just being honest about your behavior. Secondly, they would tell you that you were wasting their time. There is no rule against being insulting in your posts. And, yes, you could get away with it, as long as you are also contributing to the discussion, if I remember correctly. Listen, just because the names you are calling staff happen to be PC doesn't mean you're being any less insulting than I am, so fuck off.

Quote:I know staff members have to vote for stuff and everything but just look at the previous page SC and CD were congratulating you for insulting me so it's pretty obvious they don't think you doing this is inappropriate or would even think about giving you any sort of punishment.

Of course they wouldn't. It's not against the fucking rules.

Quote:They are both old guy admins so other staff members will also be pressured to agree with them, couple that with their general displeasure with me, they'll for sure decide to either warn me or ban me.

Duuuuuuuuude, they don't care that much about you. They won't warn or ban you if you call me names. Go ahead, bitch. People do it all the time. No one cares. I don't even care. Have at it.

You're not being reasonable. You're gnawing at a bone that doesn't exist. Your statement about mods and admins goes to show how much you blather on about something you're ignorant of. Admins are quite different from mods. (Both are equally important to the running of the forum, though I wouldn't blame anyone for quitting dealing with shit like this. I know I hated it.)

RE: Regarding the post edit time limit of absolute Doom
There is a way to get around this, I gained this information after a 3-year trek into the high mountains of moderators where I had to visit a blind monk who only ventures out at night and speaks in Morse code via taps with a staff.

After this encounter, I found the fabled Sanctuary and the grand library of secrets.  However, should I ever reveal what I saw, Not only will I explode into a ball of fire but the very fibers of space and time will become undone.

Nah, it's your entitled attitude that gets you insulted.

What do you mean my entitled attitude? I don't think I'm entitled to anything, I've worked hard for everything I've had the pleasure of having in my life and I'm proud of that. I don't think I'm entitled to anything here either but I do believe it is your duty as a staff person to make sure things go smooth not insult me for making a suggestion. 

If you're volunteers and what you're doing is such an under appreciated job that doesn't even pay why do you do it? I don't think you're underappreciated at all, you get lots respect simply by virtue of the power you have and I don't think you regret being a staff person, if you did and if it was something you couldn't handle you would've or should've left it. You know what? Since this job is such a hard thing to do and such an underappreciated job that doesn't even pay I volunteer to do it, you know? I accept this tremendous burden upon myself. I will even accept requests from others wanting to edit their posts within reason, what do you say?

I'm not refusing to take no for an answer, I'm just asking you to help me without showing bias. My request was reasonable and my request was humble. I wanted to edit a '0/1' to '1/0' but I couldn't so I made a small request. Instead I've been thoroughly insulted throughout this thread without me slinging a single insult at anyone including yourself. You can't expect people to believe clicking a few buttons and changing that small mistake will be such a hard work, I mean you had time to insult me and poke fun at me I'm sure if you instead used that time to help me everybody would be happy, I'd be reassured of your non-bias and we wouldn't even be having this conversation now.

Personally, I like making a difference. I like being part of a greater whole. I like the responsibility. I also like bitching behind everyone's backs, but that's beside the point.

What, this onerous voluntary job that pays nothing and takes up your day?

Well you never know, your name might come up with the rations, like mine did.

Which we did. And you don't accept that.

And so was the answer.

Oh grow up, for fuxxake.

There, now you can add me to your little insult list.
