Sorry, Z, I thought I was getting through to him. Alas, I guess not. He seemed to listen to me a bit when he would ignore a similar statement from someone else, so I tried my best. I guess some people (adults included) just can't seem to understand that tantrums and name-calling will result in things like this. Wish I could've gotten through to him better. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif

Thanks man, I do really try to give people a lot of rope, and sometimes they end up hanging themselves.. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif.

When stuff like this happens, I look at it (Insults directed toward me) as a reporter may (or a game reviewer)--unbiased.. Personal attacks don't bug me at all, but personal attacks on OTHER members do.. I try to deal with everything sensitive that comes up as a 'neutral party' type.. I think that really works here, and everyone here knows I don't do favoritism--everyone here is an equal.

Dan, you have been MORE than fair! I think he just wasn't willing to socialize according to the rules. Too bad. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif As you said, many people go on to post and be good members of our community after a shaky start.

And you are SO right! You cannot please EVERYONE so no use letting it make you feel bad! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif I think most of us would agree that what you and the mods have done so far is a good job of keeping our community strong. I very much love the forums and enjoy interacting with the people here. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

I had a feeling he would take it like this, I hoped it wouldn't though.

Not being a regular on the BG board, I suppose I have escaped the worst of Cffl's spam, however like some others have said, I am sad to see someone who cannot accept well intentioned advice. I believe he/she was 12 years old - maybe in a few years he/she will rejoin IW, thououghly reformed and eventually become a valued and respected member of the Mod Squad.......or then again maybe not.

Overall, this restatament of the general principles of board useage is well overdue. If you ever catch me spamming, feel free to slap me upside the head with a wet kipper http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...s/Eyecrazy.gif or if I really transgress, send Sazerac's evil-smelling fart-raptor after me.

LOL! The "fart-raptor" as you so eloquently put it, dear Mouse, has flown off for a bit, but he's ready to return when needed! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif

Boy, have I been out of the loop! I know I have been busy and just sneaking in every now and then, but URLman apparently came and left and I didn't know he had been her.

Seriously, I saw the slam against Link (someone showed it to me) and thought that was most uncalled for. And of course, what I read here directed towards Z-----ridiculous.

I just want to chime in that Dan is the fairest and most even tempered person I whink you could have as a webmaster. He bends over backwards all the time. And I think any of us who have been around for a while knows how RARE it is that anyone is ever banned by Dan.

Dan, you can't please everybody, but you have created a very special place here for all of us. It is like home and family to many of us. It's a shame someone like him could not appreciate it.

Hey I think 250's use of profanity was used correctly. He did warn he was going to cuss, and then he let cffl have it. I think he set a good example...errr for me actually

Don't start this again, Khan. Don't people ever get tired of all this sniping and negative emotions? Rikard apologized to you in http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/No...ML/003334.html . Here was my reaction and his apology:

Quote:

Posted my Memnoch:<font size="1">
Everyone's IP is being displayed due to some childish actions by some people who really should have known better and acted in a more mature fashion. I'm more disappointed than angry at this really. All it does is create more work for all of us moderators.
As long as we learn from this experience, it won't be a waste. </font>
And here was his reply:

Quote:

Posted by Rikard:<font size="1">
I'm sorry for this guys
Just a misunderstood joke i guess
i do feel ashamed now
Apologice fully to KHaN, Ziroc and Scott for messing up your name, forum or thread
</font>
In addition, Rikard was censored for his actions. You're entitled to not accept his apology of course, but was there really a need to stir all this up again?

Yup Memnoche.
Tired as a place where lost souls are supposed to brun forever.
Is is really that hard to forgive and say hey I´m sorry I didn´t know, but know I know and from now on I will change!

You want to be mean anf hurtful to each other, logg on to Counterstrike or UT or Quake 3 and kick each behinds so until you tire of it. After that you might reconsidering it abit??

Just a little something for Ziroc, and call me suck up and be happy you don´t live close by.. (J/K)

I think you were even a little too nice to Cffl. He did have a mean bone to citisiscm and the way he behaved he clearly showd that there was only one plce he fitted in, outside this forum. Well I guess my teper is more uneven then youts Dan, good thing you are the wematser here eh! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif :WOLFGRIN:

Censored? O come on now! Did you guys take away any of his "rank" as punishment *snort*. I will stop this when "they" shut there f*^&ing mouths. As I recall Moridin wasn't speaking to anyone in general in his post...but I wasn't suprised at who responded. Ricky said what he wanted to as I am now. Who opened whose mouth first? This is not a snipe at you Memnoch in anyway. I've always wished that I had that layed back Aussie temperment you guys are famous for http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif.

It's amazing how you only turn up when you can flame people
though i have to admit i admire the subtilty in which you flame
Anyone not reading carefully can see it being almost normal

And I'm not a Minion if you really want to know
First of all She a part of MY clan
second She was the one who said that I was being favored above any other member around due to my lenght on the board

Why did you have to bring this up?
What is your obsession with flaming Me, Cloudbringer, LadyZekke and LofA?
Why have i never seen a post of you in any of the games forums?

Answer these questions and I shall consider taking your seriously

just tellin both Rikard and Khan, please dont start... dont blame one another (even though i dont know what really happened) right now... i kinda depressed "that in this world conflict will always arise no matter how much you want to aviod it" and another member fade away because of this truth.. besides Memnoch only used that topic for an example (i think)

And for the rest of us you claimed were minions, check the dictionary. Replace the word minion with "friend" - slight distinction there (or shall we call you a crony)

Nobody's taking away your right to freedom of speech, Khan. All I'm asking is for you to respect others while doing so. That includes sniping at people for events long past that have been apologized for. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Rikard was banned for a week for flamebaiting you. I would have thought that more severe than any post penalty. Post penalties are more effective for people who offend by spamming for rank. I doubt if Rikard would have cared if he had been penalized by even 1000 posts.

Smile and be happy! Life's to short to carry a grudge for a long time. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

KHaN, don't do anything you will regret later, we all try to get along with each other here. Rikard apologized to you AND got banned for a week. Please be reasonable and leave the subject alone. As for you Rikard, if you don't want this situation to get out of control, don't react on ANY flamings made to you. We all want to stay out of trouble, right? Just try to get along with each other and have some fun, not ripping each others heads off. Thanks in advance http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
