PDF: A little bit of everything

I disagree with you being in that role. The only thing you'd contribute is garbage.

Dana Fox5 said:I’m strongly against goldenranger30 being appointed as a moderator, but then again, some users on this site are just all over the place. If we're really going to start throwing out suggestions, that's my take.

You can try to push me aside or discredit everything I say, just like you've done before.
It’s just you and Nick the College Student.

No matter how many times you've insulted me—which was honestly pointless, especially with those group provocations meant to get a rise out of me—I would have continued to treat you all with fairness and integrity.

Can you honestly say the same for yourselves?

If I ever got into an argument, it was strictly because I felt something was right or wrong.
Everyone knows that's true, even if they don't have the guts to admit it.

Well, thanks for showing everyone exactly how you communicate.

goldenranger30 said:You can try to pin things on me or discredit me all you want, just like before.
It's just you and Nick the College Student.

No matter how many times you guys insulted me—which was useless, really, using those group provocations to bring out the worst in me—I would have still acted with integrity toward you.

Can you say the same for yourself?

If I ever got into an argument because of this, it was a fight for what's right.

Everyone knows it, even if few have the guts to say it.

goldenranger30, I don't think this is the place for you and me to debate who insulted whom and how many times. If I really wanted to, I could pull up a massive pile of your posts where you use incredibly vulgar language and insults sufficient for three permanent bans. I just doubt that matters much right now. Besides, you spent days wearing a signature that called me Satan just to provoke and insult me. Every time I ignored you, you took it as avoiding a confrontation and used it as an excuse to provoke even harder. You even followed me into other threads on different forums just to insult me. And now you're claiming to be the victim?

Action should have been taken on the complaints regarding you, Zachary Nguyen2, and people like that a long time ago.

What complaints against me? 😂
Some people are just grasping at straws. It isn't true.

Dana Fox5 said:Honestly, I really appreciate you being so transparent about how you communicate.

goldenranger30, I don't think this is the right venue for us to sit around debating who insulted whom and how many times. If I really wanted to, I could pull up an endless mountain of your posts where you use incredibly vulgar language and insults—enough to warrant three permanent bans, honestly. But I doubt that matters much right now. On top of that, you spent days running a signature specifically designed to call me Satan just to provoke and insult me. Every time I ignored you, you took it as me dodging a confrontation, which only seemed to encourage you to escalate your provocations. You even followed me into other threads on different forums just to keep the insults coming. And now you’re claiming to be the victim?

The complaints regarding you, Zachary Nguyen2, and others like you should have been addressed a long time ago.

My most intense insult was calling someone "stupid," and even then, it was only when I was clearly pushed to my limit.
Nick the College Student was supported by you even when you were insulting his living and dead family; I could pull those posts up, though I’d prefer not to.
Do you really think I would ever allow something like that as a moderator?

Go ahead and drag up all those provocations and belittling comments that led me to "insult" anyone in the first place.

Regardless, this is essentially a job or a duty; what matters is professionalism and impartiality, not necessarily the personal feelings of the moderator involved.

This will be my final response.

I'm all for making Dreamweaver a moderator.

I honestly think it would be a fantastic move if Afro Dita took on the role of moderator 👍

Afro Dita doesn't have mod permissions, but Dreamweaver is on it.

goldenranger30 said:If I’m ever pushed to my absolute limit and someone really manages to get under my skin, my go-to insult is calling them an "idiot." It’s simple, blunt, and honestly, that's about as far as I'll go when I'm feeling provoked.

Are you serious?

From what I’ve gathered, your initial posts on the chat—and honestly, most of your follow-ups there too—always seemed to be written while you were clearly worked up. They basically boiled down to this:

This is absolute garbage. There's an endless amount of this stuff floating around here, yet it’s never actually sanctioned. People have been posting exactly like this on various threads for ages, but none of them ever got hit with this kind of treatment. Now, suddenly, I can't even use the chat. Typical.

You really think I’d allow something like that to slide, given my role as a moderator?

Go ahead and pull out every single provocation and insult that supposedly led to me being "offended."

At the end of the day, this is just a job. It’s a task that requires professionalism and a certain level of objectivity. You don't necessarily need to inject any personal flair into the mode itself.

Your professionalism and commitment to taking a moderator role are clearly on full display, based on this post from the other chat:

goldenranger30 said:Honestly, after seeing what you and Henry Hayes3 just posted, I was practically screaming. 🤣

Give me a break—you’re asking me to get hyped up when I don't even own a computer. 🤣🤣

I bet if those girls were around, they’d have the cats settled in at Nick's place within three minutes flat. 😂

I’d never ban someone just for the hell of it. But honestly, if one of them actually catches something worth flagging? I’ll be the first one to hit that button. 🤣

As usual, the Trolls are out here intentionally derailing this thread with nothing but lies. I’m honestly asking the mods or the admins to step in and finally deal with this properly.

Lovecat, you're spreading misinformation and just trolling at this point. Honestly, goldenranger30 is a decent guy; he only snaps when someone pushes his buttons with insults first. Besides, everything is documented in the thread, so it’s pretty obvious who always starts the drama. Here is the link to the specific post where the last argument kicked off.

If you handed me the moderator keys, I’d be handing out bans for that kind of language without even blinking.

Dana Fox5 said:Seriously?

From what I've gathered, your initial chat messages—and honestly, most of your subsequent posts there too—seemed written in a state of total provocation, basically saying things like this:

God, that's just pathetic. There's plenty of this kind of stuff happening, yet it's never sanctioned. Because of entries like this, all the forum members who participated in the thread—but never went nearly as far as you did—can't even use the chat anymore.

Your level of professionalism and how serious you actually are regarding your proposal to moderate is perfectly captured by this post from another chat:

You're just trolling, as usual, intentionally sabotaging this thread with lies, and now you're sweetly begging the mods and admins to finally step in and hand out an appropriate punishment.

That is incredibly low.

When is the computer coming back from the repair shop?☕

You saw how he smells weakness.

What you’re bringing up is just the most recent argument. We had at least five other threads before this one, not to mention the endless bickering that happened before that.

So, it’s not really about who always kicks things off; it’s more about looking at a tiny snapshot of a much larger history of toxic arguments and back-and-forth nonsense.

But honestly, regardless of who starts it, this kind of communication needs to be penalized. More importantly, those posts should be deleted. Leaving them up sends a message to every new person visiting the chat that this behavior is perfectly acceptable, which just makes an already bad situation even worse.

It’s similar to what happened with the Ambassador.

They might just hit us all with a dose of Cjenofix so we can't even move.

Dana Fox5 said:What you’re bringing up here is just the very latest topic and the most recent argument. Honestly, we went through more than five different threads before this one, let alone the endless back-and-forth arguments that happened before this specific spat.

The thing is, looking at this single moment doesn't really show who always kicks things off; it just gives you a tiny snapshot of a much longer history of messy disputes and constant bickering.

Alright, let's look at it this way. All the threads are public, so you can clearly track exactly who starts every single fight. It just so happens that, by pure coincidence, it's always the same person. Plus, there are plenty of eyewitnesses ☕

Richard Sanders7 said:Alright, let's look at it this way. All the threads are public, so you can clearly see exactly who kicks off every single argument.

I'm with you there. The real issue is that nobody actually bothers to read.

It just so happens to always be the same individual. Besides, we have plenty of eyewitnesses. ☕

So, I guess we're just supposed to take your word for it, much like we take goldenranger30's claim that "the maximum range of an insult is—you idiot"? 🙂

It isn't always the same person, and honestly, that's just not possible. There isn't a soul in this chat who hasn't sparked some kind of drama at some point, but there's a massive difference in how people express themselves and the sheer volume of insults being thrown around.

Do you want us to dig up your own posts where you started fights just to prove that the "it's always the same person" theory is wrong?

It's similar to what happened back when the Ambassador was involved.

You only became active during this last thread or perhaps the one right before it.

And previously, you were actually cheering others on and congratulating them whenever their accounts were being banned.

That's why it feels so surreal that you're now the loudest person demanding answers.

It’s going to turn me off.

Nica told you guys to take it easy on her, and look at what you're doing instead 🤣

Besides, what's the problem now? No chat, no fighting... 🤷
If someone actually wants to talk, just hit them up in the DMs and be done with it

no chat = no fighting
