I guess the word progress report changes everywhere
what're they to you? Is it like a p long essay or a test of some sort?
[QUOTE=Hezzy;28340218]Normally they'd talk to me about it and I'd sort it. But seeing as that isn't going to happen anymore, I can see a lot of conflict happening between members of the mod team. If I were to bet any money, I'd say there's probably already an argument in the mod forum about the ban, the unbanning and Benji's behaviour[/QUOTE]
Bah, I always forget about the mod forum.
I'd ask Starpluck but I don't think he's been on steam since he got mod. (Clearly afraid of all the ways I will make fun of him for it, now [b]get on steam starpluck[/b])

Uh no, I'm at uni for games development, so it's like a few working scripts/week for programming, at the moment it's finishing 10 concept thumbnails, 1 finished concept, 1 side and 1 front view sketch for the 3d sculpting class, a finished room with props/textures done for texturing/modelling and 2 levels done for level design with sufficient lighting with different ambience feel

Pretty much so we can't hand in a finished project in 8 weeks time and the tutor goes "bullshit, prove it" and we go "eh how".
That's what the progress reports are for, to prevent plagerism + to see how we're doing with the projects.
garry brought down the permabanhammer on my main lmao
[QUOTE=Dachande;28340290]hezzy, since you were "the boss", do you know who all this bad moderation shit would go through now? because it seems like everyones now a supermod and nobody is collaborating together[/QUOTE]
Nobody. Well, I suppose there's garry but that's basically the same thing. He isn't going to want to deal with that kind of stuff - I recall him saying "the forums should self govern"
[QUOTE=Atokniro;28340305]Hezzy what do you have to say about the diy/gardening forum?[/QUOTE]
I'd estimate the average demographic of people who enjoy DIY and garden are 27 - 65 year old men. This forum is full of 14 - 16 year old boys.
[del]There’s nothing much going on the Mod Fourms[/del]. Garry just suggested reimplementing a mod sass rule where Golds and Mods can get banned.

11 year olds hang out in the garry's mod section
Austic furries who are 12 hang out in the MC section
Hezzy, how are you feeling

Thinly veiled rule to stop people complaining about anything ever
[QUOTE=mr apple;28340438]Golds cant' get banned nowadays?[/QUOTE]
He was referring to the events in the Gold Forum so I’d assume he meant the GMF.

With the rare exceptions "mod sass" bans are generally "I don't like what you're saying and I'm not man enough to handle some words on the internet"

Oh Garry, self governance just isn't the same with rules against criticism of authority. A temporary measure to give stability maybe but there is a reason people speak out, silencing them will do no good.

No hard feelings he made it to post an obvious pet project?
Whatever happened to "Fans not Bans"

If you haven't noticed, Garry's never taken critisism very well.
[QUOTE=Hezzy;28340482]Whatever happened to "Fans not Bans"[/QUOTE]
We need you so much hezzy get modded please
I wouldn't worry much about the sass rule. Depends hugely on the moderator. If he's an ass = he bans. If he's cool = he doesn't ban.
I personally believe that a majority of current moderators are cool enough to handle some rude comments.
[QUOTE=CheeseMan;28340483]If you haven't noticed, Garry's never taken critisism very well.[/QUOTE]
Indeed, not really a good quality in a leader. The difference between Hezzy and Compwhizzi, being able to laugh at yourself. I just hope Garry can come to a better understanding of how to manage the forums after all this.
i think this forum has gone to shit ever since the rules were relaxed
[QUOTE=Starpluck;28340421]There’s nothing much going on the Mod Fourms. Garry just suggested reimplementing a mod sass rule where Golds and Mods can get banned.[/QUOTE]
I bet [i]someone[/i] bitched out to garry that people were bitching about himself.
Mod sass as a rule is terrible since it's giving carte blanche for mods to ban people for expressing negative opinions
"I think you're not doing a very good job
(User was permabanned for this post ("Mod sass"))"

Yes well there should be someone who regulates sass bans
This is why if mods are getting sassed they should get a 3rd party moderator to handle the situation

It's already at the point where I've revised my posts at least twice to make sure garry or benji doesn't somehow interpret them as offensive and lock me away forever in the camps
Even with a new heavy handed mod sass rule it's not like any "mod sass" ban that Benji ever makes again will be taken seriously by facepunch users or fellow moderators.

Consider that "Image Macro" ban a test for a mod sass ban. Everyone got pissed off at Benji acting like he couldn't take a few insults leading more people to insult him. Gets to the point where he either needs to ban everything in the thread or retreat. Turning the mods against the community, not a good thing.
