Ok, then leave, because you obviously don't like it.
[QUOTE=-amin-;28347055]Garry, can you just stop all of this, go back to the old forum and start everything from the way it was 2 weeks ago ?
It's going to far.
Please.
I don't care if Benji is still a mod, i want the forum back when it's worked.[/QUOTE]
How about go back to the forum in 08

Is this the first time you've seen people growing attached to a community?
[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;28346946]Okay, Garry wants proof of Benji's inadequacies before he will take official action, but he said that he [i]is[/i] willing to act if proof can be given to him. That seems like a fair compromise to me. I think that our end of this deal is clear: watch for it, note it, and present it as objectively as possible. Change often doesn't come overnight, but with persistence and reason it happens nontheless.
In the meantime we should go about our business and keep a close eye on the goings-on of the forum, particularly the aspects of it in which we would most like to see change. This thread, "Ask us about the forums," is the community's link to the moderators, and they will definitely keep everybody up-to-date on what is going on behind the scenes. I think that everyone should feel free to voice their concerns here, but it's also everybody's responsibility to make sure that they're being respectful and level-headed while they do it.
Yelling and name-calling and making demands [i]will not help anything[/i]. I want to see things get back to normal as much as anybody else, but Garry isn't the only one responsible for making that happen: we all have to be willing to compromise as well. We have to be willing to give it time, to build our arguments, to make our voices heard in an appropriate manner. Garry will never respond to violence or anger, so we have to prove ourselves capable of rationality.
If you see anybody acting out in this counter-productive manner, I urge you to remind him of this. Ask him to calm down, maybe to take some time to think things over for a while before he submits his argument. Nobody else needs to get banned here, but people acting out like that probably will be: and we've already lost too much. We've had several great moderators resign or be demoted and many prominent members of the community lost for good. If we don't manage to control ourselves, we'll only see more of this.[/QUOTE]

Turns out Facepunch had a huge defecit and we got bought out by the Chinese. They're gutting the factory and liquidating all of the assets. All they want is the brand name.
Eesh, Can all this annoying fuss stop?
Past is past, Future's yet to come. Get used to change, it ruins and rebuilds our lives- and for now, this forum.
[QUOTE=Ali Legend;28346927]Sorry, encouraging people not to waste their time with frivolous deeds constitutes dick sucking? Good to know.
Well then you're an idiot.[/QUOTE]
Calm down, none of us want to be banned for pointless arguments. Chill.

does facepunch still do that website with the applications and whatnot and they're sent to the high level mods for review and they all democratically decide who gets to be a mod?
or is that out the window

Becoming a martyr doesn't help anything, and becoming one over a rating is pathetic. Stop and think about what you're doing.

There is no need to overreact over a rating.

Well this is Facepunch, you know
garry i realize that you have the right to do what you want, but if you actually care about these forums have you noticed that a LOT of people are leaving?? dont you think that alone should be cause for alarm? even if you dont listen to us, your losing people. thats a valid argument to change what your doing in its own.

garry permabanned quite a few people
most notably bhb and jimbomcb

No, not anymore. From what I've noticed and read, when FP needs mods, the way to find the good candidates tends to differ every time.
Hey, well, if BDA gets moderator status, at least we'll have an excellent replacement. That man is god amongst posters. From the ashes, a phoenix, eh chaps?

if he's going to be so hot-headed about something as small as a rating of someones opinions than i think he deserves to make an, albeit a huge, ill-minded decision like he just did
facepunch needs less drama queens, it seems like we move on from one thing to the other and nobody is making a cohesive argument along the way
[QUOTE=Craptasket;28347165]Well this is Facepunch, you know[/QUOTE]
Yup, this whole thing is just one big overreaction.
