The Hell Bird, also known as simply the Bird, is Peregrine. Between he, Mal and Switch, they pretty much read every post. Generally, they're alright. If you feel like taking issue with one of their locked threads, edits or posts, then you do so by sending a personal message to them. If you feel like you've been slighted your personal message, then you can send a personal message to Dark0ne, who will take your argument under consideration. When you do that, you have to live with his decision.
Don't flame the mods. Don't insult them. In fact, don't bring them up. They'll make their presence known without us interfering.

Well, sometimes the mods need to take their own flaming advice. If someone said my mind was too simple to make complex thought, I'd retaliate. And you can't blame someone for retaliating to that because it would be a flaming remark. The fact that the mods don't have to follow the flame rule, makes me think they're abusing their power.

A mod could call me a dipshit, and then when i call him an ***hole, the mod could get on me for flaming, and worse, flaming at a mod. It seems like a corrupt system, not in a huge substantial way, but still corrupt.

When someone doesn't know something that'ts considered common sense, he doesn't need to be degraded about it.

I'm going to accept any warning the mods give me now, but i felt like something needed to be said so that other people could see it.

No, he's refering to me. See that "Bird from Hell" title under my name? That means I'm the moderator you absolutely don't want to insult. If you don't get banned, I eat your soul. Ok, I do it even if you do get banned... but I can't help it! Souls just taste so good when boiled in a lake of fire down in Hell.

How can I become a mod?

Basically, Dark0ne picks you out. I have absolutely no idea what criteria he looks for in his potential moderators, but I do know that he hasn't picked a new one in a while. You can take that for what you will.

Please feel free to take issue with the mods. We are NOT above the rules and Peregrine has a strike from Dark0ne to show for it. But you have to follow the correct procedure.

One - PM the mod whom you have an issue with.

Two - if this gets you nowhere, PM an impartial mod.

Three - if you are still unhappy PM Dark0ne with the details including the names of two mods you contacted.

However if people read the rules and used the search and edit buttons properly there would be very little for the moderators to have to say or do!

MDH Weaponeers post deleted by a nasty moderator.

Cowardly to flame and run, MDH Weaponeer.

Best of luck on the new forums.

Have a nice day now.

Ugh, where to start....

However, I hate the little backprick moderators that run around locking threads without anyone else's opinion, abuse their power and ban people because they simply disagree (they're the kind of people that simply can't comply with the fact that we have something called an "independent mind")... Unfourtunately I see a lot of those these days.

Yes, since there are so many of those here.... let's see...

Locked threads without anyone else's opinion, ok, we do that. What do you want, a poll thread for each thread I consider locking?

Banned people for disagreeing? Absolutely not. Find even one person who we've banned just for having a different opinion. You won't. And I'll give you a hint, if I banned people just for disagreeing, half the debate forum would be gone.

And I'm most likely going to be banned by Peregrine for saying this, knowing he gives people strikes for mispelling his name...

You do realize that it's a joke, right? Again, show me one person who has been given a strike for a minor "offense" like that. Check the official strike list, there aren't any.

Peregrine you drive me nuts. Especially with your hypocritical little additude of being mean to everyone else yet looking for reasons to snatch them up for being that way themselves. You've been doing that for a long time.

I love you too.

Unfortunately for your case, 90% of the people who get the Hellbird's wrath have done a lot more than just have a poor attitude. Tell me again why people who repeatedly ignore the rules (after being clearly warned) deserve such sympathy.....

Anyway...
Goodbye, everyone.

Goodbye, you won't be missed. Since you won't be needing your account anymore, might as well have Dark0ne ban your ip, just so you don't get tempted into returning or downloading more mods.

[FlightlessBird]

Man, those moderators are efficient. I didnt even get to see that dudes flaming post. *thumbs up* I'm just gonna trust that Peregrine ate his soul and I Will never here from him again...Darn....

[DreamOfTheRood]

That was the double-barrel approach to efficient modding. Peregrine took issue with the dude, while Mal just stomped his post into zeroes. By the way, did Photanekon get banned?

[TheAngryMongoose]

Good job mods, I think you guys put the brakes on this before it degraded into another "Stop the mod tyrany" problem. Seriously people, if you feel the mod has hurt your feelings *sobing* then talk to him about it. These guys have a lot of problems on their hands and when you make a post that breaks the rules, your just another problem. And if the system seems "corrupt" to you, we are sorry, all the utopian forums are gone.

Oh man, please, somebody get this guy a violin! Independent minds are great, but when you think the priveledge of freedom gives you the right to throw out the rules, your getting a little TOO independant.

Well said Peregrine, well said.
