This forum really has strict rules.

If they wouldn't they would be emotionless rule-enforcer-bots.

No, they won't shoot him, they'll warn him a lot of times until he really pisses them off (about 20 posts later of flaming others.)

No staff members are flawless. It's impossible to be perfect. Everyone makes mistakes once in a while (Whether it would be spelling mistakes, a large typo, mistakingly getting the wrong member in a fix, ect.) Nah, they're not robots. (or are they?) Nah, just kidding around, but seriously now they should hang loose once in a while. It would be a drag to not make a few exceptions every now and then.


[quote=_Sin_Manipulating an admin? How? If he can "maniplulate" the admins to change the rules through reasonable and good arguments, then hell, I want the admins to be manipulative! And about the banned thingy: I don't know why he got banned before (since Dranz banned him it has something to do with Naruto), but this does not mean he's some sort of low life. Don't be too quick to judge people because they can change, just like the Forum rules if there is a necessity for it.[/quote]


I said they would try, but I said they wouldn't do it well. To be honest I can't understand why the Naruto Fourm has stricter rules. It's like the other popular anime fourms (but with more topics.) .....I just answered my question, didn't I?

He isn't a lowlife, he just ain't follow the rules for some stupid reason. It appears that he could just do anything he wanted (spaming/flaming/not using spoiler tags/ect.)
This just prove my brothers theory: Some people just shouldn't be allowed.

Normally I wouldn't be argueing here, but I've seen this thing so many times on other message boards that I'm fed up with it. You figure they would learn when a mod/admin tells them to knock it off. Now if you would excure, I need to bang my head against the wall.

Whoa, you're right! Usually they lock these things up after 10 posts! This might actually be a problem! (And how did you know I use AOL? To be honest again, I actually use Internet Explorer, but I have to log onto America OffLine. IIt really sucks to have a phone connection.) :twap: I answered my own question again.

But first I would like to note to all the toublemakers out there eventually "I'm sorry" isn't going to cut it anymore, so you should shape up before that happens.

You ppl are funny You are arguing about the "rules" but which one/s are you acually complaining about?
I read through the whole thread expecting an example, like.....(well since this thread is here, i dont think the rule about X is right, and the reason being is X) And then maybe a reply on why rule X is needed and so on.

Anyway about the guy who started this thread, yes he was from the Naruto forum but i diden't know him, but if you take a look at the type of threads he has started in the past I personally think he was just a moron here to piss us all off!

Plus this guy even changed names to get back in not clever not clever at all.

P.S: I think the rules are pefectly reasonable.....Can't think of an example though

Excuse me, but what does this have to do with what I wrote? You just agreed that they wouldn't "speed in their death" by questioning the rules. That's fine with me, but why do you predict that the thread starter will always piss off the mods and will flame others? Don't just jump to conclusion just because you saw it happen in other boards and are fed up with it. Oh, and please quote right next time

Since when is starting a thread about the rules against the rules? Discussing the rules is part of the feedback forums and will only improve AnimeSuki forums in the long run.
Oh, and your brother seems to be a wise man, just like that one man in Germany of the 1930s who thought some people "should not be allowed".
*sigh* Once again: Don't be to quick to generalize that the ones who want to discuss the rules are always some evil guys who wants to destroy the Forums through starting a revolution because that is plain wrong
Although that could be the case, but then again it could have the exact opposite: Improving the rules by giving constructive feedback.

For starters: Try to calm down a bit, you seem to be angered quite quickly which is not a good thing if you want to discuss this problem as objectively as you can; Next thing: It is your bad luck that you only met some idiots but we can't say that every user who wants to discuss the rules will act like an idiot. Then again, I don't remember the mods telling him to knock it off because they seem to be interested in this thread as well.

Good thing that we agree that users and the staff aren't perfect.

Nice try to be sarcastic, but it backfired nonetheless. You are just approved what I said namely that the mods won't lock thread just because they are discussing the rules. What does us tell that? First of all it tells us that they have interest in reading what other think about the rules and more importantly: It says that the thread is not against the, or else it would have been locked long time ago which did not happen. Your argument that this very thread is against the rules is now void.

To clarify things: AOLese is another common word for leet speak, nothing more and nothing less. I'm sorry to I confused you.

Humor is lost on you, isn't it? You are lucky that I don't fall for such obvious flame bait

Oh, since when are you a mod? What, you aren't? Then don't act like one!

Can't be helped; the thread starter got banned before he could state which rules where to strict ect.

Well, that is because Razer_2mb said that discussing the rules is against the rules which it obviously isn't.

hey hey hey... don't bring hitler into this. Heck in Germany, the Veterans of WWII see him as a hero. He did make Germany from a 3rd world country to a powerhouse.

Back on topic.

The rules aren't so bad. You can be mean and criticize others just as long as you don't flame them or talk shit. Although a lot of people do not like to be criticized, it's not breaking any rules and the mods let you off on that. Just no

I'm sorry if it sounded like that. I wanted just to point out the narrow-mindedness of both, nothing more. By no means I wanted to say that he is like Hitler

...and from a powerhouse to war torn land. What's your point? You shouldn't praise him for peanuts since you know what else he did.

Exactly; I like these forums because you can talk about nearly anything without any sort of censorship - assuming the discussion is kept civil.

There are a lot of threads like this open, but they died because there was a reason : the moderators are good and there is no reason to say that they're doing a bad job.

Nah.. playing with monsters can be a thrilling experience..

But seriously.. some of you on this thread really ought to lighten up and enjoy life for once.. unless you secretly derive a sense of fulfillment and pleasure from directing your anger against those who have unpopular opinions to voice.

Be glad that y'all live in some *relatively* free country and won't be sent to the electric chair for simply making a bad post to a message board.

That cuts both ways. The moderators can't be pals with everyone if they are going to do their jobs properly. People don't like to hear that they are doing things which will make the forum less enjoyable for others, or that they won't be allowed to continue to do so, but they need to be told.

As far as who is enjoying what, I'm sure the people you are attempting to browbeat are enjoying expressing their opinions as much as you enjoy browbeating them.

[eLstar]

I can clear the air of what he is complaining about, and yes it's about the Naruto forum, I banned him temporarily as a means of a "time out" for posting useless/unecessary/repeated topics numerous times in a short period of time.

A thread here
Another here
Yet Another thread here
Useless Thread
Repeated Thread
Another Repeated Thread

That's 5 different threads closed in the month of May alone. I pm'ed him nicely saying that it's just to calm him down because it seemed he wasn't learning the rules at all, then he went all ballistic on me. Originally his ban was 3 days, but he thought he could bypass the ban by joining up as a new member and instead he was banned for an extra 4 days.

Yeah... even if im not a german... I myself... adores Hitler too...

anyway... the mods here are both 50% wrong and 50% right..., it's bec. they sometimes ban others for no reason... I think...

There are always reason to ban somebody.
I'm sure any ban that have been done could be easily be proven right
Do you even have example of moderators being abusive and random banning users?

Well in order for this statement to be valid you'd have to provide some evidence ... so do you have an example, or a case rather, of a mod banning for no reason?

It seems like he don't even know I asked him and he said he didn't know but that he thought they were doing it, but still we need evidence, and there aren't any evidence

So what you're saying is if there was 10 rules, 5 of them are ok but 5 of them are not?......please ellaberate

Oh, and by the way Hitler sucks ass!

You're just digging yourself into a bigger and bigger grave...so from now on be careful of what you say and how you word things...

The mods here have never banned anyone for no reason...I'm thinking that your thinking that they banned a certain person a while ago...but guess what...there was a reason and I for 1 agreed with it...so him being banned was not for nothing

I've been here since august of 03 and i have yet to see the mods just randomly give out a ban (with 1 exception...but that had it's reasons also and he was quickly unbanned) w/o a good reason...the mods are generally nice...and they'll try and be as helpful as they can...

It's true that the mods seem a bit harsh sometimes...but they're not here to babysit little kids...for the most part everyone here should understand what it means to act mature and obey rules...I mean everybody obeys rules everywhere...so why is this forum any different? and how is being punished for doing something wrong a bad thing?

You are certainly allowed to question the mods about things they do or are doing as long as you address it in a mature fashion and not bitch about it like a little kid...which seems to be what some people do...the more bitching it is...the less chance it'll be taken seriously...it's like standing in front of a judge...if you just talk and complain about something and just bitch your gonna get nowhere...while the other person that took his time, gathered proof and presented it in a mature fashion gets all the attention

[Wandering_Youth]

The rules are not strict it is just the mods that are enforcing them are making it feel very harsh. It's not the rules that come after you when you break them, it's the mods. *Hides behind a rock*

[K9Platnum685]

No need to yell at me. I was just complimenting you on how such good rules you have.
