Furore
...means nothing to no way

Well the intention of CPC8 was originally to promote site activity. Since a few months back we are trying to get back to our roots. Not sure exactly when we strayed from our path but at least we are trying to get back to what we where a year ago.

Sweet! Thanks again for the sub dude!

Wooohoo!!!

Dudeee, nice! It's convenient how technology continues to grow as time passes by.

How often do you run into some sort of trouble?

I actually found it humorous in the staff eliminations. I was getting voted down 2 and up two daily (well almost daily) so the game has been prolonged heh.

Sounds like a good deal on the topics. I tend to like most of the ones you have made.

Well I am glad that is something we can easily agree upon haha. It would be nice to see some new young blood here and to pick up some activity. ID has been slow for a while now, with a few scarce posts from time to time heh.

I have been in a non posting funk for a while now but find myself slowly getting out of it. Until recently though a lot of the topics were just hard for me to take interest to. Then again that could be due to real life issues.

Well buddy it would be appreciated if you do that so that we can discuss the issues in private. Some of the stuff we have discussed was probably better if we would of used the PM system but I have nothing to really hide haha.

As for where I stand, I stand firmly with the forum. It is priority for me and seeing it is dear to me it should come first.

Really it depends on the situation at hand. I generally take a time before just handing out a warning for what I consider a major violation even though it is usually pretty clear.

Things like multiple accounts is pretty much a no brainer. Discrimination, harassment, repeat violations of the same rule, blatant disrespect to members of the forum or the forum itself (outside of minor jabs). Basically anything that people could really take offense to. These are just a few examples but I think it will get you in the right mind set as to where I am going with it.

As for multiple offenses in the same thread, this to varies depending on the situation but generally a warning will be issued to the last offense and an explanation of all of the offenses will be mentioned in the mod comments. Depending on the violation will also determine the step that I take to choose what percentage warning that person gets. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

As for me going off, it was set into motion that the system was getting cheated and to your surprise it was not that person that you are referring to. I had received multiple complaints that inactive members were showing up to ruin the game. The game is intended for active members only. Similar complaints were being made the year before and I was / am determined to not let it happen again.

Like I said I was rash with my decision (mainly because I was having a really bad) and I did not take the proper time to look into it. I would of done the same thing if it would of been anyone. I realized my decision was rash and requested the thread temporarily closed so I could converse with Ann and to look into things more in-depth.

After realizing the mistake I had Ann delete everything that had happened and started making apologies. There is nothing more I can do but offer my apologies to the people I offended and that is why I went ahead and made a public apology also.

As for the driving force behind my bad decision, it was clearly just me. There was no one guiding me to do something. That move was not made by me as a mod but as the host of the game and due to that error I will probably relinquish my control over that game for next year unless popular vote wants me to continue on doing so.

Personally, I think acting inappropriately in the first place is immature. You know, there's a difference between mentioning how something is unfair, and starting a riot because of it. People can say "this place is out of control", but they're the ones protesting by leaving obvious messages in their sigs, and delving into someone else's privacy for a flipping avatar. The only point they're proving is what a complete arse they're making of themselves.

I believe it was mentioned somewhere that you're only here to troll? Well, at least you know how to fackin' troll.

Well names would not be necessary if you can see that the point percentages are fairly even across the board or almost always of equal value.

I do believe there is an error that occurs with the warning system. Due to the warning system being a hack I think there is flaws in the system that cause the percentages to only show up part of the time for normal members. They are always there for me and I am sure it is the same way for the rest of the staff.

Part of the reason I award lower warnings most of the time is to keep the site visibly appealing because the system does show up from time to time on the posts. New members won't be tempted to stay if they see a lot of the members having warning percentages above 50%. I use the larger percentage warnings for major violations.

That is why I give lower percentage warnings for mild offenses. I tend to use the Prewarning / spam warning a lot. Like I said this is not just limited to the people you are referring to but to everyone.

Also I tend to give verbal warnings to new members before actually moving on to a spam warning or I will just go ask the person to remove the offense. Most of the time this is done via a PM or VM so a lot of the time it is not noticed because it is done behind the scenes.

Hope this clarifies some things for you.

What did you bring with you to work?

Haha, why don't you listen to some music? You should also check out 1up's feature on the noble art of ROM hacking. It's an excellent article!
