Yes, and that's what wer'e discussing the VG forum... or you know not since its the Versus forum that's part of the package that you clearly indicated you only mod it because it is part of the package.

The forums on here I mod I frequent the most. When I took over it, the first thing I did was enact a cleanup in the VG and VG Vs, and fixed up the rules a bit, flesh them out some. And it was fine -- hell, I got thanks for it. It's only in the past two months that it's exploded into me having to close 10 threads a day.
Hmm... I'm sure you butressted that number with all the threads that don't fit your new rules.
Which is a bit deceptive since the way your were saying it they weren't a problem before, until you set the rule that required them to be closed.

People need to learn to read rules.
Yes they do, but you and I both know they don't do that upon changing to new rules, but by being pointed out when they break it. Sad, but its something you need to learn you're going to face, when dealing with people.

If they cannot bother to read them, then it is no one's problem but their own if their threads get closed and/or they get in trouble.
And it was certainly the not reading the rules that closed a whole bunch of threads recently...
or you know since the threads were okay before the rule change then it wasn't those people that weere at fault for those threads being closed.
So do me a favor and stop putting the cart before the horse to avoid responsabilty for your own actions of late.

Sorry but you know, I enforce my rules.
Unquestionably, the problem is in what rules you yourself impose in the first place.

I used to actually like and have an interest in Vs matches. Waaaay back when the CB Vs forum started, I actually posted in there relatively often. But it so quickly plunged to a state of fanboyish "this character is better!" "no, and you're a retard for thinking so!"
So you became sour on VS threads a long time ago... for something that common sense would have told you was coming.

that I gave up on it altogether. And you know what, I try my damnedest to keep the VG Vs from those sorts of arguments.
Ah so since people die in there sleep, lets ban sleep.
Since people die in car crashes, lets ban cars.
Interesting logic. Flawed but interesting none-the-less.

When people were going nuts with the spite threads, I recruited a handful of members who were fed up with them to help me by pointing out and reporting them so that I could take care of them. So it's not just me that was getting sick of the crap in there -- other posters were as well.
But the spite threads were what they were sick of, not the fact that there were threads at all.

I say that the posters are to blame for the newly rewritten rules
ah the posters made trhe rules.

because if people could follow the ones that were set to begin with, I wouldn't have had to make them stricter.
And since they can't follow these new ones lets do away with it alltogether...
Oh that's good logic. or you know not.

Ah, once again it's their fault for your shortsightedness. People are alwys goign to disagree with a mod's decisions. You should have expected that. Now stop blaming them for your own actions.
All you're doing is making excuses.

if people thought that they could get away with having anime matches simply because of the Goku/Superman thread, and if people hadn't immediately started in on the bashing anytime someone had a differing opinion,
Like calling them shitholes full of fanboys for haveing a different opinion from you?
Originally posted by Lana
then there'd be no need for the rules change.
Oh yes its there fault for your inability to accept all that came with modship.

No, I don't expect people to be smart.quote] Yes you do. You expect them to know the rules. To be educated on the matter.[QUOTE=6620107]Originally posted by Lana
But I DO expect them to read the rules
See? You don't expect them to be knowledgeable but you expect them to be knowledgeable. Interesting.

-- especially when I explain them very clearly, invite anyone with any questions to PM me, and also leave the rules thread open instead of locking it for any questions or suggestion.
Oh so you invite those chalenging PMs that you detest?
You invite people to give you excuses to change rules...
That's like shooting a dog that bit you because you were slapping it in the face...

Most people like the new rules,
Doubt that strongly. Elsewise why would this even be in question?
Originally posted by Lana
or at the very least understand why it was put in place.
But not understand the REAL reason, just understand your excuses.
Originally posted by Lana
So I would suggest that before you make accusations, you know what you're talking about.
I would suggest you did before tyou accepted the job... but it's too late for that now isn't it?
Or you'd rather I be gulible and just swallow the excuses you give without question. Sorry, but I have a brain and can see something wrong here, I'm not going to be quiet about it, unless someone would like to threaten to use moderation to keep my opinion quiet.
Cause you know shooting a person for having a different opinion isn't nazi like at all.
So what can we expect in your next post? more excuses as to why its the posters fault they're losing freedoms, when its simply something you didn't count on when you took the job?
