Clearing the Air Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

Rules:

quote:
XI) What can't I post?
Insults, flames, hatred comments, spamming, advertisements are an abuse of your priviledge to post and can result to a penalty

Clearly your rewording of my post's are flames, and insults and are an abuse of your priviledges. More over you did not start the thread and clearly you are the only one NOT seeing the humor and calling it spam.

quote:
XIII) Why do you censor certain words?
Because there are lots of people(including us) who don't like reading these kinds of words. The list of censored words may vary depending on the way people use the forums


Clearly no words needed to be censored so tell me why you not only completely changed my words, but also added your own insults, spam, flames to my post...

quote:
XV) Which are the penalties?
The administrators have the choice of a simple warning, to a disablement of someone's login(allowing to read, not allowing to post) for a short or infinite period, to baning any access to the site for a short or infinite period. The administrators may ask from the members to decide on the kind of penalty in a certain case, but they are not obligated to.
(added with v.1.5, 7/August/99)
The third time someone loses his ability to post for something on the forums will be the last (the disablement will be permanent). In more serious circumstances, the first disablement could also be permanent.


I see no where in here does it say you have the right to: reword non-offensive words, flame, spam, or alter a person's thread to suit your own needs, ego, and insults...YOU Solver?

quote:
We're always open to criticism, but noone is forcing you to post on our forums.
(added with v.1.5, 7/August/99)
We were a bit reluctant to say it in this past, but this a privately owned forum, not a public square. It is our right to accept or not accept certain kind of discussion or certain kind of users. We will be seting the rules and enforce them as we see fit. We believe in freedom of speech, but again, this is not a public square(there are laws that apply to public squares too, but that's another issue ). We hope that you understand our position.


Now I expect unless this was simply a direct assult on me personly Solver that you edit all, what you call "pictures", smilleys actually from all and every thread. I expect to see the words " More of such and such's spam" In every and all such "smiley" "picture" post's. As you are aware there are many of them. This is the first and only time I have ever seen you do this to anyone...So post your NEW RULES be fair. Let the rest know they can not post humorous comments and pictures in other threads. And warn them you will be rewording thier what you call spam to your own insultive, flaming, spam.....

quote:
added with v.2.0, 21/December/99, modified with v.2.1, 16/January/00)
XIX) What happens if there is an abuse of the title system?
To avoid abuse of the title system there are the following rules:
a) spamming(=posting continuous one letter/ word/ phrase/ whatever posts): -20% of post count
b) disablement for one week(for whatever reason): -10% of post count(2 weeks, -20%, etc)
c) club threads(e.g. emperor thread only, etc): thread closed. starter gets -10% of post count
d) post count threads(e.g. "let's see if can get to 500' threads): thread closed. starter gets -10% of post count
one's status might even be changed to "village idiot" if he really acts like one to get to a higher level


I injected humor to a thread with the rest of them, you single me out that is a flame...When do you get banned...



quote:
This is clearly off-topic

It is your right to deem it as such...is it your right to insult, flame and spam the thread too?

quote:
blackice, for someone who is reading the faq you are certainly unpleasently surprising, as you ought to know that this forum is not the place to complain about moderators' decisions....


Thanks for the input Mark We here as Solver states have invited this type of clear the air and the rules post's. As he points out we are like a community here and prefer to have things on the up and up. Personaly I would rather openly discuss this here with him than file a complaint against him. He is a damn fine moderator and is willing to clear the air which he has done. This way Mark we all that post here know where we stand, collectively not behind closed doors.

I would agree Solver with your points, I disagree with the method used. Please just delete the post's you deem "spam" Flaming was uncalled for as was the rewording of my post's.

Thanks for taking the time to resolve this in the "PBEM" way.

Respectfully Yours

Pete

Thank you for saying I'm an OK moderator and I'm sure willing the clear this all. I'll now clear those posts, however, you should agree that you went a bit over the line in the thread (just like all of you did).

Having a community is very nice, and that is the reason why I'm here, to keep the community at bay and OK.

I don't, however, still see what I did as such a terrible insult, but I'll do what you ask just not to displease you. And actually rejecting this request would be an insult, for sure.

Anything more to discuss?

Markos, don't the heck close this, it's good to discuss it openly, not in some other way. See this as a public thread between Blackice and me.

Heh, LOL, this has two reasons, Bird. First, I do have a life, and thus I do sometimes leave, or just get ill.

Second is, that if I visit the forum, it doesn't neccessarily mean I post.

I am so glad we can all "AGRRE-2-DISAGREE"



I remember a year or two ago.. someones signature from Australia had something "humourous" in it and I made a funny about peoples "misconceptions" about Australia, I didnt insult, only joked and me and Yin26 got into it a wee bit!

I was wrong and hope Yin26 continues to allow this to be a matter of the past!

I meant no harm and I am sure no one here did!!

BIG HUGS & LOTS OF LUVIN FER ALL!!

Lets all hold hands, sway back and forth, get MING,YIN26,A-Horse Markos,Dan,Solver and a host of others..singing an allstar rendition..WE ARE APOLYTON-THE WORLD-WE ARE THE CHILDREN!!

Lets just say we all love playing together in this great sandbox!!

I can't think of anything to flame, but a sort of moose joke does come to mind

Many years ago, a very funny radio DJ in Sydney by the name of Doug Mulray described a news event from Canada. Some woman had a foam reindeer in her front yard for christmas, whose fancy was taken one day by a bull moose. The moose came up behind the foam reindeer and had a few sniffs before deciding to have a crack at it. The moose mounted the reindeer and happily pumped away, getting friskier by the second. He eventually lost interest when his enthusiasm resulted in the foam reindeer's head falling off.

After numerous sniggers, he added in his best Bullwinkle voice "Hey, Rocky! Watch me root the head off this deer!!"
