What do you guys think about the criteria? in Feedback & Suggestions · Aug 26, 2010

restlessbison25 said:Check out this conversation that the politeness police on this forum actually let slide:

The thing is, we don't ban them just because they stopped following the PZK rules. They realized they were messing up and started trying to fix their attitude. That's way different from those trolls that make this whole "so much fun" drama circle go round.

Kimberly Garcia74 said:Look, as one of the last two actual living members of this notorious little clique, I just have to ask mellowraven22—WHY? Why are you guys turning this whole forum into a joke?

Honestly, I can't believe I even have to explain this to an adult. Your "friends" who claim they’re "just messing around" clearly have this obsessive need to make clone accounts and trash other sub-forums just because they're bored. Then, they move on to harassing people via PMs—believe me, I've seen some seriously nasty stuff in my inbox. This isn't some middle school playground where you can act out like this. (If the insults were at least clever, I wouldn't care so much, but they're basically seventh-grade level.)

The last time I shut down the sandbox, you guys messed up again, so I really hoped you'd take the hint this time. I've looked the other way a hundred times, but yeah, my patience actually does have a limit. And you guys just hit it hard with all these clones, the spamming over on KzB and PŽK, and those insulting PMs flying around. Honestly, the threats and the insults don't even bother me; that's just stuff kids and people acting like children do.

So, I think we've given you plenty of chances to fix how you act. Since you either don't want to or simply can't change, I don't really see any other choice left besides handing out month-long bans.

Alright, look, I reached out to mistyscout2 and apologized for what happened, but I’m not about to let this whole thing turn into yet another one of hiddenpuma75's sermons.

I put at least an hour of work into those first two intro posts alone...😢

Sadly no, it’s been totally trashed by vandals.

Yeah, honestly, we can't do that anymore. It's been pretty much trashed beyond repair.

Please accept my apologies personally, and on behalf of the whole site staff, for this sudden and totally unexpected mess caused by our former druid moderator.

And here’s the famous link to the page itself: http://reddit.com/showthread.php?p=28030141#post28030141

Now, whether my posts actually matter—whether they're literary masterpieces, vital life info, or whatever—it doesn't even matter. They were written in a chat topic as a response to Xeix-ov's post. I wrote the exact same reply twice, and both times it got wiped without an explanation, a DM, or even a warning. I've had other posts commented on by her moderation, and I still have no clue why they vanished.

There, that's the quickest example I could grab. Is that concrete enough for you?!

And if you, the esteemed administrators, actually have access to the deleted logs, then finding ambermason16's work should be easy enough.

Just readit. 🙂

And yeah, here's that famous link to the page: http://reddit.com/showthread.php?p=28030141#post28030141

Alright, I checked it out—and honestly, I don't see anything wrong with it, except that ambermason16 was just deleting useless whining against her moderation team and all that general complaining about how unfair the mods, the site, and the whole universe are.

Look, whether my posts actually matter or not—like, if they're literary masterpieces, vital life info, or whatever—it doesn't even matter.

I wrote other stuff that her mods commented on too, and I still can't figure out why those got wiped.

A chat topic isn't a free pass to just whine endlessly. If someone deletes your post and you just post the same thing again, I really think it's messed up that the moderator didn't give you a warning. Yeah, she overstepped a bit there and should've given you a strike.

To wrap this up—the appeal is baseless. ambermason16 didn't do anything wrong, other than being way too soft on you guys and failing to issue strikes or bans when you definitely deserved them. Hopefully, she won't be so lenient from now on.

coppernomad28 said:You’re definitely consistent in one regard: pure arrogance. It’s pretty obvious from both the link and this comment right here. 👎

Finding specific examples isn't exactly easy, which is why I already mentioned that posts were being deleted.

And don't go assuming that people are bored with this—you have no way of knowing that—let alone God.

That doesn't mean we can't see them. At least give me some links to the threads where ambermason16 was deleting those "so wonderful" posts so I can actually take a look.

edit: until I get those links any more stupid posts that don't include links to where the controversial stuff used to be will be getting deleted. Sash already said he doesn't see anything problematic, so I'll check too just so we follow the rules and can finally wrap up this whole theater of the absurd.

the admins here are even bigger tools than the mods 🙄

Took you long enough to catch on 🙄.

It's settled, you aren't getting your access back to fantasy .

Closing this out.

Alright, enough already. This case is closed, and this thread isn't some playground for people who think they always have something profound to add :yawn:

Charles Fox10 said:My bad for being such a pain about this. I totally messed up. What I actually meant was that we should go with a custom setting of 5 points every 5 days just to handle how the mods quota their warnings.

The administration will get it sorted.

The administration already sorted out half of that mess, so just hand over the card you were planning on giving.

hollowtrucker77 said:mellowraven22 is free to give it another shot if they want to.

Right, because someone with that much charm, brains, and the ability to construct logical arguments like:

Dammit...
...screw Tindale and Zegej!

Why the hell did you guys delete my post, you absolute losers, led by Zegej Kompleksaš?

...I just can't help myself, I have to lift his partial ban on PŽK.

If you ever actually figure out what this subforum is for and learn how to act like a decent human being on an online board, then maybe—just maybe—I'll think about lifting that partial ban.

Until then, it’s a hard no, and honestly, based on how you've been acting, you've forfeited any right to appeal moderator decisions from here on out.

Anything at all?

It really just depends on which sub-forum you're hanging out in. You should probably take a second to look over the rules for whichever specific section you're posting in, because that’s where you'll find the guidelines for stuff like this.

Mark Martinez4 said:You've got a point there. I've been around for quite a while now.
I'm not entirely sure which part of the thread felt political—usually, whenever I start or follow a discussion, I get a bit of a hard time for it, but I didn't think this one would trigger that response. My mistake! I thought we were just debating potential future military movements in that region rather than getting into the weeds of politics. But hey, fair enough—point taken, and I'll keep it in mind.

Based on the opening post. Which goes basically like this, no need for a screenshot:

It’s been a while since the last party thrown by the chosen people, so they’ve noticed a new one today.

Basically, US Armed Forces officers and their crew attacked a humanitarian aid convoy sent over by Human Rights Watch.
Now Israel is playing dumb, with their military spokesperson claiming, "We have no idea who ordered the attack."
Washington, D.C. is swearing up and down that this happened in international waters. Los Angeles responds saying the US Armed Forces officers didn't start shooting at the ship, they just boarded it and opened fire the second the crew attacked them (they'll probably claim axes/knives next, maybe even Strela or poison for all I know). Supposedly, the crew disarmed them. A crew made mostly of pacifists, women, and elderly folks managed to disarm US Armed Forces commandos!!?!

In the video, you can clearly see the US Armed Forces officers storming the boat like savages, with zero intention of trying to stop it peacefully. Honestly, any sane captain would have stopped the ship if told over the radio that fire would be opened if they didn't. Clearly, Israel didn't want that. Those poor souls in the Gaza Strip had finally settled down for a bit, so obviously someone needed to find a way to drag them back into the chaos.

Turkey is in NATO, so no matter how much they yell, they aren't going to jump Israel that easily. Among the countries condemning this "action" are Spain, neutral Sweden, and Denmark. Even Germany has chimed in, though they try to stay out of the Israel debate as much as possible. We're still waiting to see how Iran reacts, and we all know that little bearded guy is gonna stir the pot quite a bit.

What’s the end goal here? Just a provocation? I don't see any reason why this couldn't have been handled differently. Now Obama—aka "hey man, let's just make peace"—will probably step up for Israel again, Muslim countries will be furious, and everything will just go back to how it was. They'll just keep hurting Palestinians as long as they feel like it, doing whatever they want, and in the end, nobody cares??

Nothing has happened for ages, so they need some new drama to play with, I guess?

Look, commenting on what's happening is fine, but obvious political stuff like this isn't allowed.

Mark Martinez4, how long have you even been hanging around VPT? You really should've figured out by now that there's no room for straight-up political talk over there.

That’s it. It's over. Gone.

No, we don't have any plans to shut down Soccer right now.

And now they expect me to sit down for a serious talk?...

rustyangler16 said:Is that why you know it gets shut down? Because you guys are out here debating and making arguments...

nice ☕

Look, since you guys either can't or just don't want to get what I'm actually saying—and honestly, I’m not about to sit here and spell it out for you like a textbook—I think this whole conversation is just becoming a waste of time.

It’s not like I didn't have the will to make it happen.
