Personal attacks are against the rules.
If he doesn’t want to be here, it doesn’t matter how long.
I’m not doing this for the people that don’t like or enjoy the site, I do this for the people that like it and look forward to coming back.
plus rep when you come back :rofl
calling you a fag is a personal attack?? you mustve been the kid that everyone picked on in high school
Vlad done fucked up
Just sell me the forum already.
Bring back the magazine.
Go sober.
So if I call you a ******… is that a personal attack?
Even an e-zine would be better than just a forum full of babbling.
We have a rule on the forum I moderate that says and Admin or Mod can not moderate a thread that they are involved in. If you’re a mod and arguing, a different mod has to take care of it. It takes egos out of the equation, along with everything else. I don’t really agree with either ban Vlad, I think both are uncalled for, especially Adam’s, but it’s your forum and you can do whatever you want with it obviously. Realize though that the forum only exists because of it’s member base. Your job as an admin is to provide and environment where everyone can enjoy it, not just the people you want to enjoy it. Brett went after you, not any other member of the forum, and I’ve NEVER seen Adam even insult anyone else on this forum. Seems like you’re lookin out for you right now, not everyone else.
Just my honest opinion. Hopefully you don’t find that to be a banable offense.
your gettin fuckin BANNED
:rofl I better come back to some rep.
Repped
Adam has been talking the forum down every chance he got in the recent months calling it a useless pos etc, saying no wonder he no longer logs in or even bothers to do so. Then signs on just to attack me, so I did him a favor of saving grace of not needing to login again for a while.
This was not Bretts first offense, for years he was abusing rep system, personally attacking members and going after me. A few months ago me and mods had a discussion where he was going to be a gonner but decided to give him another chance. He failed.
Some of you may remember he even used to be a mod, but his behavior on and off the forum didn’t support that decision one bit. He’s lucky he wasn’t gone much earlier this year or even the year before. I get nothing but constant complaints about him from other members.
As far as me making this personal? Seriously? You’re going to tell me that the last 4 years of trying to build this place and make it welcome where members can feel safe was all a cover up for me to finally go on my personal vendetta? I’m not even going to keep defending myself as I was the last string trying make this place civil and now people are telling me I’m unfair.
Murdogg and Alpine, keep pushing it, I’m clearly in a light mood, and you guys obviously have no strikes against you on ever breaking the rules. Just cause I don’t enforce them every time, doesn’t mean they don’t count.
Finally for those saying they didnt break any rules or bans were unfair, etc I’ll leave you with this.
If you are invited to come to my house and share the company I have there but you come in to insult and threaten me, you can get your ass you will be kicked out and not welcome back. Good luck finding a business where you can threaten the owner but still be welcome on location.
So unban them both and have one of the other moderators reban them both, and if they refuse then perhaps you need to find moderators that align better with your point of view?
I like you Vlad, you’re a good dude for real. Don’t take what I’m saying out of context, there is no cover up, no personal vendetta, I just think you got upset and lost sight of what it’s all about. I know you’ve been frustrated lately but shift is making progress. We have a black guy now. I mean COME ON! If I had said that a year ago everyone would have laughed. :lol
I know Brett is a dick sometimes, but I kind of get it usually. If the rest of the mods agree then fine, leave him banned, but like I said I really do not agree with Adam being banned. He’s a good dude, he used to be super active here. When you lose a member like that then maybe there really is something wrong. Some collaboration would be good. Maybe we can get everything back on track with some serious effort… but banning everyone isn’t going to make that happen dude.
hip hip… hooray
Both are great guys , I’m friends with both as we all know , brett is worth a ton in knowledge and yeah he gets in his modes as well but its ok in bin own head lol . Adam just busts balls as well but like said before ya keep brooming older members pretty soon the site is gonna drop . Look at repress , a.p.g forums etc man . Vlad I like ya and we do battle at times but all in all I love the forum , I wouldn’t of Hung with most on here if it wasn’t for this place .
Its gonna be a sad day if/when this forum falls to shit.
I agree
