    How does this stand? Under what grounds? Was he flaming? Was he trolling? Is there some new unwritten rule that states we must be civil and courteous to the moderators now?

    So. What is the lesson we keep learning? Heavy-handed moderating sucks huge cock. It sucked at TBBS. It sucks here. It sucks when Clyde moves threads to other forums and it sucked that Nick kept moving it back. And it sucks that Tamar stomped in on top of everything else and started handing out warnings. Moderation is best in moderation.

    I got warned for calling Tasvir Stumpy in MC with a rep comment once.

    Unless that post was made in the RR, that's a clear-cut flame, and I'm sure Nick knew that.

    But nick thought he was above the rules... which was part of the problem in the beginning.

    What is that if not a flame? Is that like a term of endearment in Michigan or something? :unsure:

    This thread is pointless and should be locked. The issue was answered in the thread in question, before this thread was started.

    If it's a flame, half the people in this thread should be warned if not banned outright for the things that have gone on in this forum.

    It's a different standard applied to Nick. Tamar's been hounding him for the longest time.

    Nice chris... :rolleyes:

    You can't argue with the point made, so you resort to a personal attack.

    I haven't seen any different standard applied to Nick, but if there is it is only because he wanted there to be. (bolding mine)

    How can that not be a flame?

    Paladian being a whiny mod warned me for less then that. (a warning that still hasn't been revoked even though it is wrong) Hell he gave a friendly because someone dared called him a psycho.

    That is an outright flame by any standard. Under Paladians wishy washy limp wristed standard it would probably rate the death penalty but fortunately all he got was a warning.

    With all the shit Nick has done but hasn't been warned for because "mods" can't be warned, well fuck it, he should take this one - which is easily a flame. :dayton:

    ^^^^^^To: Sherlock

    What are you Paladians lackey?

    It's simply pointing out that if I could get warned for a smiley and someone else could get a friendly for saying "psycho" for a decision a weak thin-skin mod made in MC then saying "fuck you" sure as hell can garner a warning.

    Elwood would never make me a mod... he's said as much.


    It's called the rules... you play by them or you get nailed.

    Paladian made up rules.

    In this case Nick broke a long standing rule. It was an obvious flame one fully deserving of a warning.

    If they were, I didn't know about it.

    If so, then my point is moot and the thread can be closed. It's all in the records.

    To the best of my knowledge mods can be warned, it is just admins who cannot due to the way the board software is built.

    With the stability of the board lately do you really think that is something worth them hacking the code to try and fix? ;)
