You can't start making personal attacks on a member just because they "look at you funny".

This is my last post on this thread. I'll leave it to others to look at the start of the thread and make up their own minds whether Quatermass was guilty of any rudeness.

I have to keep repeating myself, thats why. Do I have to explain why he was rude again, or can someone read my last post? I can't be bothered to argue with any of you, just take note, and be alert if that troll guy returns.

Urgh, I'm having to stoop down to quote dicepting now...

Wrong! Go back and look again, but this time from a neutral point of view, instead of being biast, and sticking by your friend!

Uhm, sticking up for your friends is half what being a friend is all about. And I did, although I, nor you, have any proof we can give aside from giving our word.

First he said i'm not ready cause I had to ask, which is confusing, but fair enough.

Yup, fair enough.

He then quoted from the beau guy and said "precisely", which is a bit childish.

That's not childish, that's agreeing by using just one word. Quoting without even replying is called Quoting for Truth, another form of agreeing on the internet.

Then he said "keep going with that attitude, (what attitude??), and i'll never become a mod.

The 'attitude' he's mentioning is throwing things out of proportion like you are doing at the moment.

benjimanbreeg wrote:
Then using some riddle to say I have no chance, which again is petty and very childish.

What riddle? Is this the latin again?

benjimanbreeg wrote:
Next he was sarcatsic about not being able to "have his eyes stuck to the computer all the time".

He wasn't being sarcastic. As I mentioned, we have the real world to get in the way, family, jobs, friends, eating, showering, internet not working, stuff like that.

benjimanbreeg wrote:
See you can be rude without being blatant, I can detect it. I was just being honest, and you guys don't like it.

I suppose you being honest is good, however your detection methods, or instinct, or judgement, or spidey senses (*chuckle*, couldn't resist) must be a bit off at the moment.

So I said he was like talking to a brick wall, you all seem to be that way

Both sides to this appear to be brick walls in that we will not budge from our point of view. Arguments like this are best left for both sides to forget and ignore, like lau just did.

Is this all about tubgirl still?

90 minutes before something is removed? OMFG THATS FOREVER...

Its the internet ffs. It was all but built around that tubgirl picture. Everyone and their mother has seen it, and if they havent, they eventually will. If that is the worst thing you ever see on the net then you're either damn lucky, or you have your eyes closed.

Starting threads about these things draws MORE attention to them.

DONT WHATEVER YOU DO LOOK AT THIS BAD THING EVER >>>>> ..... ITS SO WRONG IT BLINDS PUPPIES. thread...

I'll wager if I start that I'll get more views than THIS THREAD HAS BREASTS>

At the end of the day, if something offends thee.. stop looking at it. Couldn't be much more simple. If something offends thy children, monitor their internet access more.. they are YOUR children.. not the MODS children.

Tub girl is definitely not the worst to be shown on any forum, on the tech forums it was goatse, but real fun to shock the newbies, if these trolls are going to post stuff like this on WP, we may have the option of posting pictures taken away, as what happened on some of the forums I have been on. One solution would be having a certain amounts posts before a member is allowed to post pictures

Or as done on GameFAQs where you can only post so many words per day until you've stayed for a while.

The only people who can actually implement these ideas to curtail spam are Alex and MrMark. PM them if necessary.

Heh, yeah I would be. That happens a lot when someone tries to drill the point in. Over on the Insomniac Games forums I see it going on a lot when people argue about consoles, or a game on two different consoles. Usually after the quote-dicepting stage the one who's quote was being dicepted attempts to redeem himself by quoting the dictionary(.com), by which it is then usually stated that what is meant by the dictionary is not the context of which the word(s) was made. At this point the one being quoted then just leaves the thread altogether. It's a rhythmic pattern and I see it at least once a month.

cause i'm not the mod, remember? If I was one i'd do that, they will take you ideas more seriously cause your a mod. If you actually want to help, you or one of the other mods should put some ideas forward.

benjamin, benjamin, benjamin. This is another reason why you aren't a mod. Our word is taken as seriously as any other member's.

In other words, your credibility isn't any worse just because you ain't a mod. So, if you have a suggestion, just send it. We don't really have a 'hotline to god' in these matters.

I didn't say that right, did I? What I mean is, your word is accepted as readily as ours.

I could have been a good mod several months ago but now I don't have much time since work has ramped up again...

I think the mods on WP do a brilliant job - especially given the amount of time such a job would take.


I agree the mods do a great job here and you should never give moderator status to people who are begging for it.
