[QUOTE=HybridTheroy;28342825]what if we share our negative criticism in a nice way?[/QUOTE]
Criticism is fine. But there's a line.
[editline]28th February 2011[/editline]
[QUOTE=Psychopath12;28342835]So...where exactly is that line drawn? Niceness can be interpreted differently depending on perspective and circumstance.[/QUOTE]
However I interpret it. If you're in any doubt then keep it to yourself.
[QUOTE=garry;28342804]New rule. I'm going to ban people that aren't nice about my moderators.[/QUOTE]
Did Benji give you a hundred bucks to stop the mean men?
Or did you just decide that you can't allow the community to have an own voice and have to show you're the boss and shizzle?
well IMHO garry you're making some pretty raunchy decisions in whats best for your websites community
You guys don't decide how the forums are run, I do. If you don't like a moderator then say why, nicely. You don't have to get personal. It gets boring.
i mean its a given for these new mods to fuck up but benji has been a mod for a while now and he has nothing to show from it except shit that negatively affects the community
Like what
accepting bribes, personal bans, openly calling out and badmouthing other mods
So basically criticism is fine as long as it's not blatantly flaming

Yep, I was right.
I really think you should realize that this is a community, not your personal feedback central anymore. And, without questioning your authority, you are NOT [B]running[/B] the forums, you never really participated in the community at all, you're just paying for it and are the figure it started around.
The community [B]is[/B] deciding what happens, except when you move in and just ban everyone who is questioning your dictatorship, killing the rebel leaders and leaving the mob without direction.

That's a bit over dramatic but i agree with most of it, A community is made up of many people.
Also [b][i]please[/b][/i] move the Games section above the Bullshit section.
[QUOTE=garry;28342914]Like what[/QUOTE]
Outright attacking other mods in the gmf strikes me as apalling enough, and this is one of many examples.

Hear, hear.
[QUOTE=garry;28342804]New rule. I'm going to ban people that aren't nice about my moderators.[/QUOTE]
If Benji wasn't a mod I could almost outright guarantee you wouldn't even have to make this rule. Just my 2 cents.
[QUOTE=SEKCobra;28342947]The community [B]is[/B] deciding what happens[/QUOTE]
No it isn't, I am. You guys have been hugged by Hezzy for too long. It's time to reintroduce the cane.
garry if this forum is anything more than a source of income to you, you would demod this obviously nonworthy moderator
I am surprised about this sudden going back in action on the forums, are you working on anything or why is it that you are devoting this much of your attention to it (again)?
If you want to be taken seriously you need to build a case and present it to me, not just say throw accusations and names about.
[QUOTE=garry;28343069]No it isn't, I am. You guys have been hugged by Hezzy for too long. It's time to reintroduce the cane.[/QUOTE]
If we can get banned for been overly harsh on mods can you also start forcing mods to reply to real issues raised. This whole anti-Benji thing started because he ignores us even when valid concerns were raised rather than answer them.

alright, gang.
this is going to be a piece of cake.
Hey, garry, while you're at it, why not revive smartness
Garry, if you read this whole thread, and the last 1200 pages of the other, I think you'll find more than reason enough. I'm sure someone could compress it into one long post and present it to you, but if you're so devoted to ruling the forums, as you obviously are, I guess you've already read them.
[QUOTE=Elexar;28343144]Hey, garry, while you're at it, why not revive smartness[/QUOTE]
Show me a good reason why we need it
[QUOTE=garry;28343069]No it isn't, I am. You guys have been hugged by Hezzy for too long. It's time to reintroduce the cane.[/QUOTE]
Does that mean the rules can be as strict as they were a couple of years back?
[QUOTE=Elexar;28343144]Hey, garry, while you're at it, why not revive smartness[/QUOTE]
That's a bit harsh to people not from countries speaking english.
Typos can be a bitch, too.
When I say present a case I don't mean show me stuff that happened 6 months ago by the way. I mean stuff that has happened since Hezzy quit.
Is it ok to still be a bit dickish to mods that aren't Benji/Compwhizzi in the GMF? (Not personal attacks though). Treat them like the other members sort of thing. I liked how we could call a mod out on an action we didn't like in a rather blunt way and it was alright.
[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;28343175]That's a bit harsh to people not from countries speaking english.[/QUOTE]
To be honest it is an English forum. Also smartness wasn't that harsh, stuff like capital letters should be common sense.
[QUOTE=Random112358;28343193]To be honest it is an English forum. Also smartness wasn't that harsh, stuff like capital letters should be common sense.[/QUOTE]
Of course.
[QUOTE=garry;28343181]When I say present a case I don't mean show me stuff that happened 6 months ago by the way. I mean stuff that has happened since Hezzy quit.[/QUOTE]
One of your reasons for demodding Hezzy, was that you "couldn't trust him anymore" (or something along those lines). That must be from more than the minecraft thing.
[QUOTE=garry;28343069]No it isn't, I am. You guys have been hugged by Hezzy for too long. It's time to reintroduce the cane.[/QUOTE]
This may be a little far-fetched too, but it seems that you simply thought that Hezzy has been moderating for too long.
Stuff like this is what a lot of people had an issue with:
[url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1064599-Unban-me[/url]!
There was a large outcry saying it wasn't an image macro, whether it is or not is debatable but it would of been seen as a sign of good faith for Benji to reply to Wootman explaining the ban.
[QUOTE=Random112358;28343193]To be honest it is an English forum. Also smartness wasn't that harsh, stuff like capital letters should be common sense.[/QUOTE]
to be honest i'd rather not spellcheck and such as its just an internet forum and wheter you have capital letters or not the message still gets accross.
it will make it harder to read when random words are red
