Dark0ne Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Based on IP address and posting similarities we think you're odds on to being previously banned member Acetyl. Are we right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPr0metheus Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Holy s*** how can she take this so serious? Am I the only one who wonders how you can compare this to a political situation or a philosophy or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anotherthrowawayaccount Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I still fail to see the relevance to anything you have had to say in regard to this 'thrown to to public' blog piece, other than my personal conclusion that you are simply a troll, out to... what? What trolls are always out for, of course."They don't agree with me, or I don't understand what they mean. Must be a troll." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegadeof79 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) so now I have the right to hide somebody's posts on my mod's page... peachy.

TheVampireDante Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 In the end, it just goes around in circles."Nattering walls of text sparkling with grandiose allusions to intelligentsia", is a dead give away. :unsure: I like that you're attempting to move forward, and as much as you'll want to ban me, or hate to hear the gritty reality from my side of the table, your actions are really no different from the typical government or bought and paid for media outlet. First, you use logical fallacies to separate yourself from personal responsibility, and offload it all onto others while attempting to say there is only one way to look at a matter. Secondly, you're trying to justify all your prior screw ups by saying you're trying to revise your practices moving forward. To put this into perspective, tell me; when the British government changed, then later apologized for their actions against Alan Turing (we are on computers, afterall. No more relevant example than that), does that suddenly make the past right? No, it doesn't. But you can't change the past, you can only change the present and augment the flow into the future. Which leads me to the next point. You claim transparency and tout it like its a major step in a direction "for everyone", when in reality its a double sided coin, and you're packing in even more authoritarian mechanisms and mindsets. Its frustrating, because you're quite close to a more effective way to do things, with less of a staff overhead, yet every time this site changes the ego and base fear gets in the way, so you occlude your sight of it and tiptoe around to something that feels more in your hands. The concept I'm talking about is actually biological in nature. Its an ecosystem where thought flows freely, but it also self regulates as a whole. As a -community-, a macromachinew of working parts. The fact is, the human condition requires some level of rules and constraints, but the tighter you constrain and squeeze people, the harder you bear down on them, the closer you have the constant gun to their head, the more they're going to start pushing back, or in this case leaving. I know several people who refuse to use this site, buy premium, or even acknowledge it as a valid source because of these practices. Theres only two ways it ends, non-existence (banned), or living in a tight lipped dark age. I don't know if anyone else here can feel it, but the air. The air is dreary and heavy. I expect to be banned for this, actually. People make mistakes, people have bad days, people have things going on in their lives. Things happen, and throwing people out when that happens is not the way to make bonds, and it definitely is NOT how you build a friendly community. We as a race have been around far too long to still be learning these same lessons again and again. Short version, I like this site. I like the people here, and I like what it tries to stand for. But its failing, and I simply can't support that blindly. Your moderators are furthest from objective I've ever seen, almost every ban I've seen has been unjustified and opinion based, with the moderator leaving snotty and childish little notes attached to it. Its biased beyond a human level, its faulty at its core, and as much as you try to say you admit having your part to play in it, all I saw in this article was you and your staff, once again, trying to shirk personal responsibility. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ithildin Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Too bad you're too far above "these people" to be bothered to defend your ideologies or even respond.I don't believe it's a matter of "too far above" so much as realizing it's a waste of time; it seems to me you had your mind made up from the outset. In my opinion, moderators are considerably more fair-minded here than elsewhere, and the way things are done here is one reason I visit regularly even when on hiatus from gaming. "They don't agree with me, or I don't understand what they mean. Must be a troll."I'd say you haven't spent any time talking to Hickory, if that's the way you feel about his perspective. :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
