Forums Discussion v3 - Post about Tudd and win a 1 month ban

Hate to be a party pooper (im kidding, i love being a party pooper) but can we get the topic off of hldm and back onto Forum Discussion, given this isn't the hldm thread?
[highlight](User was banned for this post ("We get it, you're upset we won't run that server mod. You can stop derailing this thread now with posts demanding we don't even talk about the game anymore here lol." - postal))[/highlight]
Would party-pooping be considered a shit-post? :thinking:

[QUOTE=Kiwi;52761730]HLDM is allowed to be posted here[/QUOTE]
does that mean i can talk about my feeling in lmao pics now?
I mean cmon, it wasn't too long ago posting about darkrp outside of the darkrp thread was bannable. You can be banned for posting pics in lmao pics that mods dont find funny. Technically posting about hldm for half a page can be considered thread derailing.
I [B][I]love [/I][/B]how the rules conveniently don't apply when it suits the mods.
It's almost as if all bans are at the mod's discretion or something!!

That's just kind of how things work around here, let me tell you that this is a far cry from the goings on a few years ago. I mean most of the users don't even see it as that big of a deal.
[QUOTE=The Genie;52761755]At this point I'm not sure why you're still campaigning. Multiple mods, the head mod, and (afaik) multiple users have said it's no big issue. I understand that maybe you want consistency and you're pointing this out as a case of hypocrisy but I feel like you're the only person who's actually afflicted by it.[/QUOTE]
I get mildly disgruntled for at least a second or two when I find out the new post is just an ad for a game I don't own then remember it doesn't fucking matter.

It's mostly for consistency. I mean, it's kinda an instance of double standards. I get that hezzy n shit say its ok here, but why is this suddenly an exception? It's content that's largely unrelated to the forums and even in the case of "oh we might hold contests and competitions in the future for it and thats why its related to the forums" well isn't that something that should be more suited for the community fund section?
Like I get it, mod team is god and all, we're supposed to suck their dicks, and honestly I'm putting my neck on the chopping block complaining about it, but I know for a fact I'm not the only one who think's the mod team is borderline abusive of their powers and if I have to risk a ban to make it a talking point then so be it.
Yes, shit has improved a lot since garry's active dictatorship of the forums, where people were literally being banned for disagreeing with garry. But I speak to people outside of Facepunch regularly, and when I mention the forums, usually people mention how they will never post because they are afraid anything they post will be ridiculed more than an average 4chan OP.
And some of the rules (or the way they are enforced) are stupid too. Like banning people for posting pics that aren't funny in Lmao pics? I've been banned before after having a post be rated funny by at least 2 dozen people then suddenly finding myself banned because a mod didn't think it was funny. By who's standard is it considered not funny? Is it a standard of the community finding it funny? Is it the mod that personally doesn't like it so will ban the user for a week just because they didn't laugh at the image?
Then there have been cases where users are joking around in a thread. A mod joins in, and that's the end of the joke. Anyone else tries to continue the joke? Unless they are a mod, they get banned. I think just last page a mod joked about banning people who didn't join, which OBVIOUSLY would be a joke right? Nope, because the next person posted "I'm not joining" and got permabanned for it. After I brought attention to it the user was still permabanned... I'd have to say that's taking a joke too far.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that the mod team need to uphold a better level of accountability for their actions, something that I can see is slightly happening, but there are a couple of mods that are too... unchained... in their actions at the moment. You know who you are, and you know that this is mostly pointed at you, but I'm trying to avoid inciting a witch hunt here.
Also that new mod, if i recall he's been a gmod script developer since coderhire days. Alright bloke tbh. I think I still have code of his lying around on my hard drives or on my pastebin from when I hired him to help me with derma.

Thats the thing though, joke permas for even a few hours have been around for a long time and dont really mean a thing. lamo pics is roulette anyway since the humor can be looked at pretty subjectively by both the posters and the mods in any case. I should know since a lot of my shit there used to get dumbed to hell because FP isn't a fan of the shit I find funny for the most part.
I don't see much of an issue with what's going on because I just concern myself in case of flagrant abuse of power like rusty and his merry band of goons from a few years ago. In fact as long as we don't see a repeat of such a situation, and maybe just a little tightening up of the limitations the mods work under (which Hez said he and the mod team would look into to come up with an agreement) things will be just fine.

Sorry, I've forgotten what Gmod is. Was it something we used to all play a very long time ago?
[QUOTE=myon;52761804]I take it shendow is there to replace niandra?[/QUOTE]
Yep, I'm personally hoping we get another so we got two to babysit the gmod section because its cancer having to go into there.
No one reports shit so you gotta dig out the trash and if you're not really into gmod or lua, its very difficult to make solid decisions on the potentially bad posts.
[QUOTE=Reagy;52761801]You guys don't know Shen because you fucks likely never go into the gmod section.[/QUOTE]
Like I said, had the guy work for me for a brief period back in ... fuck... I want to say maybe 2014? He was a chill dude, down to earth back then. Dunno how gmod has changed him since then. I know it changed me into the hateful cunt before you who gets mad at everything especially underage kids who's vocabulary consists mostly of "fuck" "bitch" and "cunt". Hopefully he is still a chill dude despite the years and the decline of quality playerbase gmod has seen.
I know I'm more of a lax mod in terms of banning and very rarely do joke bans or even real perma's because I'm nice but tbh I don't understand why this is such a huge issue for you redfiend.
Nobody's sitting around saying "dang how can I piss off redfiend today" like the mods wanna play video games with the community sometimes. I don't cuz I got other shit to do but posts about said video game doesn't effect me cuz it takes two seconds to read it and then move on.
Like if you GENUINELY HAVE issues with moderators and what they're doing, it's been said repeatedly that you have to specify exactly what and exactly who and your best bet is to address your complaints to Hezzy. Otherwise you're just pissing in the wind with no evidence about anything at all.
But ultimately I really think you gotta remember that this is a video game forum. You gotta relax a little bit.

Protip: They are all bad posts. Just about every new thread is google-could-have-told-you-this tier and most posts are just people circlejerking about how bad DarkRP is.
Real question is when are we going to get mods for the rust [del]forum[/del] website
you think the gmod forum is a quick way to get eye aids?
Postal and the Rust forum 3 could be a feature film

There is a reason it was put onto labs, so we don't and can't touch it.

I went by a different name back then. Rainbow dash or something. Was autistic. I could show the code, I'd just have to dig through years old pastebins.

Considering your wall of text before, I don't think much has changed other than name.

I understand a lot of these posts are jokes, but I could care less if a moderator likes anime. It is their personality I care about. I ask myself: would this person be someone I wouldn't be embarrassed to associate with?
Besides, so many people on here like anime that statistically speaking, if you reach into a bag and pull out some random user to mod, chances are high they will like anime.
I don't know much about this Shendow person, but it sounds like they put in work in the Garry's Mod Community, and I can respect that!
