[QUOTE=Ruskian;28345919]Garry, the people ahve a right to see what their "fearless leaders" do behind closed doors.[/QUOTE] 'The People' have no rights
sad times, i hope that future mods will help fp recover. this is a great place and i love spending my time here, so it's sad to see all this drama.
[QUOTE=nerdygamer;28345899]Thank god Jimbomcb is gone.[/QUOTE] Here's hoping you're next.
[QUOTE=Hezzy;28345974]Big Dumb American should be a moderator. He's definitely more deserving of it than some of the people we have now.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=BrickInHead;28345876]to what end, though? I noticed someone said "wow garry you just proved his point!" I like bhb (his posting, not so much) and I fail to see what profound message he sent out by getting himself banned.[/QUOTE] [quote]bhb: tell brick i said bhb: shut up reyard i didnt have a point fp just sucks [/quote] he realized it was just an internet forum
[QUOTE=garry;28345896]Can you PM me instead of posting all this stuff in public?[/QUOTE] Do you not get the whole "Make examples of people in public" thing.
[QUOTE=garry;28345984]'The People' have no rights[/QUOTE] oh come on garry You can't just do this right now, you need to be more open to people's thoughts and opinions, especially when the SAME ONE is expressed by hundreds or even thousands of community members. Your community members. This is a community, correct?

[QUOTE=Pascall;28345797]And rilez has basically summed up everything. I used to respect Benji a lot but when he first started openly badmouthing both Pacific and Dragon in the GMF after Hezzy's demodding, despite him asking the mod team to behave more "professionally" (regarding the compwhizii joke threads) several times before, my respect just went downhill from there. I haven't said much on the whole situation but I'm going to have to side with the majority here.[/QUOTE] Well mods should behave more "professionally". Its funny how they can act like retards in the forum and yet they go around and ban someone for the same thing. Mods should set examples for users around them. I am not saying all of them do that but I can at least name one or two of them.
[QUOTE=Cuel;28346007]he realized it was just an internet forum[/QUOTE] it only took years of trying for mod

[QUOTE=garry;28345984]'The People' have no rights[/QUOTE] Are you now actually taking smartness into consideration, or just moved it aside?
[QUOTE=mm3guy;28345981]I made a greasemonkey script that uses the ticker to live update a thread, but its broken in firefox and chrome right now for some reason :/[/QUOTE] It works perfectly fine for me :confused:
[QUOTE=rilez;28345926]If you want it to be deleted, that's your call; my intent was to let them know something was being done.[/QUOTE] My voice may not carry much weight with you, Garry, but I agree with Rilez: the community just wants to see that their concerns are being heard and that you and the mod-team are willing to calmly discuss the situation with each other, and to hopefully come to a compromise. People are angry right now, and I think the best thing to do is show them that everybody can work together in order to reach a conclusion that's truly best for the forums. As for the community's part: we should all try all our best to calm down and be respectful while the staff goes about this business.
JIMBO??? [h2]GARRY, YOU PERMA'D JIMBO?!?!?[/h2] Garry, I'm going to be calm, but what is going through your head right now? Maybe he acted like a moron, but that is an incredibly extreme response. I'll "deal with it" if it keeps me from getting perma'd too, but still.
[QUOTE=garry;28342885]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.[/QUOTE] How ironic. Seriously, you have the responsability to take care of YOUR community. Don't you understand. For fuck sake Garry, stop this already. I'm disgusted by your choices.
Garry, we do have rights. Without the community there would be no facepunch. Nor, Gmod come to think of it.
[QUOTE=FunkyDisko77;28346018]This is a community, correct?[/QUOTE] As a community we should have the rights to know what's going on behind closed doors sometimes. We should be able to know when something's wrong here. We should know who's being the bad mod of the week. We should be able to get on without these petty little arguements. Seriously. This place is just getting fucked up beyond belief. FIX IT.
[QUOTE=Ruskian;28346053]Garry, we do have rights. Without the community there would be no facepunch. Nor, Gmod come to think of it.[/QUOTE] there would be a facepunch. it would just be lonely. just compwhoozle and Garry.

[QUOTE=nerdygamer;28346020]Well mods should behave more "professionally". Its funny how they can act like retards in the forum and yet they go around and ban someone for the same thing. I am not saying all of them do that but I can at least name one or two of them.[/QUOTE] I'm not denying that the people running the show should behave more professionally. But if one person says it, then they should probably do what they are suggesting? Anyways, I'm not going to discuss it here anymore. Just gonna see where this goes. I'd like to stay apart of the mod team, even if some of the greater moderators are gone now.
BD will rise from the ashes; to become Supreme Moderator. And all dreams will come to fruition. A vote for BD, is a vote for security.
Big Dumb American sounds like a [i]great[/i] mod.
"These are my forums and I can do what I want" might work if you're the only one here, but what you do effects everyone on the forum so you should take people's opinions more seriously.
[QUOTE=BrQ;28346083]Big Dumb American sounds like a [i]great[/i] mod.[/QUOTE] He's one of the best posters here, he should be mod indeed.
Sorry guys, I have less-than-bad news. [quote]Funk: Would you ever consider returning to community leadership in facepunch? Hezzy: no, i am not going to work for garry again.[/quote] Good night sweet prince
[QUOTE=garry;28345984]'The People' have no rights[/QUOTE] You know, this is where Hezzy fit right in - he could get the same point across without that much backlash in a friendly way I'm still pleading you - if you're not reinstating hezzy, reinstate a community manager position.

Garry, what do you think you achieve with this nonsense?
