Getting tired of the mods around here... - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #39423 77 posts Started by Akimbo
There is no need to attack people here. Please stop using insults. Last time, please keep this thread clean.

I will return one day.
its a community of people. people don't always agree with each other. thats just the way the world works.

it is necessary to have people to keep a community in line. and yet again, people are not always going to agree with the way they do things. but reguardless of how anyone else feels about how things are run, we werent chosen to make the decisions

there is a lot the mods have to deal with and Coomer chose them for a reason. Coomer has also said that he backs his mods 100%, it's his site

This community....is OPTIONAL! for those who don't like it, your not being forced to be apart of 6gc.net. No one has a gun to your head.

ok i see where some of this is going and John thanks for your post it pretty much covers the issue at hand and i personnally know there are alot of people who have left because of issues like this one or are getting frustrated as such..
although it is good pressure has admitted his fault on that thread its closed lets forgive and forget..defgeph has warned him lets have that be a reminder..
on the meet comment i won't even start on that i've delt with it already

but right now in this community i believe here lies one of our LARGEST problems is this attitude

>the thing everyone dont realize here is WHY i did what i did, and to be honest, i dont have to explain it to anyone, but the mods.


i used to consider this a family....if someone does something they EXPLAIN to the family why they have done what they did and with openess...
this attitude shown here is elitest and shows that someone considers themselves above the rest....when infact you are not above anyone else...you arn't special....and yes you DO have to explain why you do things...this is a community not a heirarchy of totalitarian leadership...if your going to close or delete something you need to post up WHY it is being done....basically lets look at history "NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION..." "NO MODERATOR ACTION WITHOUT EXPLAINATION"


obviously when a group of people get together to address a problem...it means there is one that needs to be fixed...it doesn't me people make stuff up

when you get a little older, you will be surprised at how your insignificant reply on such a matter really is quite trivial, and instead, you could have offered an educated response to the matter at hand, instead of trying to make some low-brow remark pointing out my assumed immaturity.


Cute. My reply was MEANT to be insignificant because the topic IS insignificant. Here is my educated response: Complaints regarding this matter are silly and sound very whiney in the grand scheme of things. I would have thought someone as mature as yourself would have figured out what I meant.

I happen to agree that the mods have been a little lock happy in the past but, you know what? People have to make those calls and those people will not always agree with me. The point is, I have pointed out the exact same issue before in a calm respectful matter that didn't sound near as immature or alarmist as your post. In the end, the administrator and mods can do what they want because they run the site. If I don't like it after raising the matter calmly and professionally, I could either: (a) drop it; (b) leave; or © cry or bitch about it. I happen to believe that there is no honor in the third choice.

>good job skirting the issue.

john, im not "skirting" the issue at all.
my point by saying that was to not bring up all the bull with burn again.
ive warned him pleanty of times before about the crap.
the post was a "taste of your own medicine" sort of thing, again not that i have to explain myself to you.


how is dodging any sort of defense a taste of my own medicine? bc you don't have to answer to me? i think the medicine i offered was more of a: "this is what's wrong, and here's proof".

i don't care if you do answer or not. your lack of effort proves that you don't care what people think of you, or why you take certain actions. also, based on mine and others' opinions, the lack of a response represents a lack of any justifiable reason. that is, by traditional standards, rather shady, and not very productive. there is a general concern over things, and you are tucking your tail.

you don't have to answer that, obviously. as you don't need to. you don't have to burn me, to offer a defense. that's what a debate is. i offered all the information very maturely, and it was merely a chance for someone to explain things to the people concerned.

remember, these are not my direct thoughts, though i agree with them, I DO NOT CARE IF ACTION IS TAKEN. i'm just offering up everything into a structured point, and pointing out the items in question.

again manny, i dont' care if you tell why or not, the only thing that matters is what coomer thinks of the structured representation i put forth.

he'll either read it, and do nothing. or he'll read it, and take action. EITHER IS FINE WITH ME. forgive me for offering everything up in a structure where it actually makes sense, and makes you think about even considering to offer up a defense. i am truely sorry.

-John-

AIM==Mynzeyes
here's the thing. debating is fun. that's why i offered it up. it's not because i tihnk everything needs to change or the world will end. again, i can't stress it enough, WHATEVER HAPPENS IS FINE WITH ME. i just like when people have to actually put forth a little effort into things.

i'm sorry i have presented a topic to 6gc.net that makes people think, and possibly show emotion. i'm sorry i've asked so much of the 'leaders' of this forum. forgive me. please. i beg you. my life depends on it. </sarcasm>

if you dont' want to reply, that's fine, but i'm just going to point out that the lack of a defense is not a defense, and it ruins credibility.

AIM==Mynzeyes
k, this is stupid.

then delete my post. i just think this is ridiculous.

no john, didnt mean YOU when i said that. i was talking about the situation with burn.

Why DON'T you have to explain yourself? You're a mod. Explain your actions. Justify yourself. Show us that you deserve to have the title.

he deserves that title because it was given to him by Coomer (and if we all have forgoten who that is, hes the board/server administrator.) he calls the shots, and like he posted earlier, he backs the mods.

KawiLove
are you kidding me ?

if you have a problem with a mod, PM the admin

Back off "Migga". I was talking to Manny. Coomer chose him, but why does he deserve it?

This doesn't really concern you or Steff, both your posts are usually irrelevant and biased.

In the end, the administrator and mods can do what they want because they run the site. If I don't like it after raising the matter calmly and professionally, I could either: (a) drop it; (b) leave; or © cry or bitch about it. I happen to believe that there is no honor in the third choice.

i deserve it because thats the way chris wants it.
this is his "house" so to speak. i watch it when hes not home. wink.gif

dan, stop editing your posts here.


also, ryan being on mod preview has NOTHING to do with this thread.
lets make that perfectly clear.

it does concern me and steff, were both members on this site, and our says weighs just as much as your does.

ANd honestly, u cannot say were bias. U just imed me, and u said "u havnt been on the site long enough to know whats going on." but when i told u that ive been there since June 13, 2005 you backed off. Ive been part of this site for a year. Grant it yes, i have had times where I was cursing out manny for deleting one of my posts or jeff for editing something, or telling me someting i did was uncalled for, but after taking a step back i noticed that its not a big deal.

LIFE > 6gc.net

if u let this site be the main focus of your life, u have more problems then the mods here.

well, how you took it, and how i meant it are 2 diffrent things.
we'll just have to agree to disagree on that.
#2. i have the wifey here, and all the other people that were there that will say otherwise...i dont have to "blow up the situation"..it was a joke, plain and simple.

miguel you're missing the point. i dont want 6gc changed for me. i could leave the site for all i care. and probably a lot of other people. do i need to paste the convo we had? i thought you were newer and i apologized. i didnt back off and cower.

trust me, i have a lot going on in my life, i dont worry about 6gc much, its just something to do in my spare time.

l33t. i'm getting 15.70/hr for this. as ryan said, it's something to do in your spare time. it is a hobby, it IS a part of your life. you meet people, you establish relationships. but that, is a tangent.

no u didnt cower...u did let off, and say "ok i didnt know", (sorry if i made it sound that way in my post) My point is, at least know all your facts b4 u call someone out. Do some research. Dont just read one of there posts, and call them out about being "bias" or have "double standards" thats all i have to say on that subject.
