Pimp is as pimp does...


07:36:24 Jan 9th 09 - Duke Michael Deallus:

I liked Pimp ffs...I was just tired of everyone like "He was banned!? MOD ABUSE!"  If you didn't like the reasons why Pimp was banned, talk to Zeta because he is the one to talk to...I didn't delete Kevin's post...if you have a problem with that being deleted...talk to Zeta

NOW...I love it when peeps chat about someone that cant defend themselves so here I go off the rocker again

Firstly, ZETA and NONE of of the mods made NO written, verbal, smoke cloud, telex, fax or hand signing gesture to ANY warning. GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT.

Secondly - Advertising - WTF - Do i look like im advertising something ...did i call myself google pimp.

Criticism of a mod is based on their bias. You want to be a mod....moderate ALL...not just the bits you want.

Stay on topic - The discussion had a VERY VALID question...who was a certain member of my KD. The KD made an effort to use themes for players names. I made REFERENCE to the players names by quoting links to THE WIKIPEDIA...not ebay fool. Had they asked what color is the sky - and i answered "Blue - Like this T Shirt available now on ebay for a credit crunch special offer price of 1-99...available in red yellow and green....get it now while stocks last"....then yes....sue me for advertising. But the WIKI....an Open Source Educational Reference Guide...WTF...get real....

I recall one mod questioning an army of mine...it was Named Scipio Africanus....the mod felt the name was offensive....when in fact it was named after one of the great Roman generals credited for bringing down Hannibal.

Maybe they need some time to read some of the wiki....obviously school was a non-hit for them.

So...I assume that straying off topic includes drawings of stickmen, referencing different cheese types and 90% of the other nub answers that get posted.  Being a mod requires you to use the same brush to tar all...don't understand that phrase...go look it up.

It seems as if Michael himself has broken the rules. He has admitted to being a flamer, thus violating rule #2 right off the bat. Then there is a majority of Legacy, with one post I read of Swifty's involving him running into somebody's tavern (not ye olde taverne), whipping out his "penor", and "ejaculating all over their faces". So, if everybody wants to ban for not following the rules, it looks as if Swifty, Deallus, me, Cobra, and every flamer in Visual Utopia is going to get banned. That's probably a good chunk of the people who go on the forums. Good show!


15:33:23 Jan 9th 09 - Prince Valan Septim:

Here we go, in a thread called Station: The Flame, Erunion Telcontar encourages people to practice their flaming to make them better at it, and quite a few people actually wanted to learn. So I guess those people should be banned too, and the thread locked. Funny how the moderators locked my thread about teaching proper sp@mming, when a thread about teaching proper flaming got on without a hitch. They both encourage the breaking of rules afterall!

  hypocrisy ftw?


18:36:31 Jan 9th 09 - Duke Michael Deallus:

Fine then...I just wont post and that should solve things...I will be like some of the other mods and lurk...after all the players know best...enjoy


18:50:05 Jan 9th 09 - Mr. Erebus:

  well now you're just twisting what he said, he wasn't trying to get you to stop posting, he was trying to get you to let us post....

 misconstruing ftw?


19:54:27 Jan 9th 09 - Sir Wilberforce Pwner:

He deserved the ban. End of story.


20:33:16 Jan 9th 09 - Dark Lord Finwe:

you guys are a joke. you whine when you get banned, if you dont heed clearly posted warnings of "stop talking off topic" by a mod then what do you expect? there is no warning system (although there should be one) and no msg of what mod did what(tho there should be one) so ban is the only solution. All mods are biased? considering i dont know any of you at all, (never even heard of pimp before he got banned) The ONLY person ive ever got forum banned was from my own kd? oh wait im bias against my kd eh. you say there was no warning but even i can see a "Stay on topic" post in the thread..

 


20:39:07 Jan 9th 09 - Dark Lord Finwe:

*meant to be could see. the whole section seems to have been deleted*


20:39:18 Jan 9th 09 - Prince Valan Septim:

I was merely pointing out several facts, do with them what you will...


20:42:21 Jan 9th 09 - Dark Lord Finwe:

on topic flame wars that are not totally off topic and have something to do with VU are allowed in in game politics unless it gets too out of hand. We have our own guidelines on how to mod each section. *beep* is tolerated much more in hangaround then anywhere else. Voting for mods is the stupidest idea ive heard of as being a mod is not about popularity. if it was we wouldnt be able to delete things for fear of being voted out ;)


22:36:05 Jan 9th 09 - Lord Heroditus:

You are missing the whole, no one is asking for special favors just a level playing field.  I have seen (and can produce) posts that belittle, harass, have sexual conentation and a variety of other 'guidelines' violations, yet last week after a series of flaming on fighting posts I posted 'good times, good times indeed  :)' and it was deleted.  Objectivity should be the guideline for Mods, not the current 'I don't like him cause he said something bad about me so I will delete his posts' method of Moderation.  I could care less about Pimp, what really bothers me is the younger generations acceptance of 'rule enforcement' be it a VU mod, world wide corporations, the police or their government.  I see a bigger picture, it's just a game and not the Supreme Court.


23:25:52 Jan 9th 09 - Dark Lord Finwe:

yes it is. and as you dont know what gets deleted by who any accusations of bias and a player being targetted can generally be taken with a pinch of salt. if you can name a mod with a hate campaign against someone then please do tell


01:38:46 Jan 10th 09 - Sir Caradoc:

i flashed the finger at the Admin and the Moods a few time, mostly Zeta. im aprecitave of the game he has made for all of us, i just hate him. iv never been banned before.

on regards to Septim, you are a fool for that first post. everything you highlighted refered to you as far as im concerning. also if each of those statements were to taken literaly all the time, you, and 90% of the other forum people in the "suggestion and ideas" section of the forum would be banned. so *beep* Septim (and Moods on this rediculous ban that should not have been made. lets not forget Johnson was impeached but congress did not take him out of power. why? because they knew what he did was technically against the rules but also realized just because you dont like someone you dont need to get ride of them)


01:49:15 Jan 10th 09 - Prince Valan Septim:

It's called sarcasm. I know that, Caradoc...and by the way:

lern 2 englash

>.<


01:55:16 Jan 10th 09 - Mr. Isandur Darknight:

The fact that most of this conversation has moved on the the subject of how "unfair" and "Terrible" the Mods are really irks me.


21:44:36 Jan 10th 09 - VU Admin:

If your post gets deleted the worst thing you can do is to post something stupid about the moderators, it will only get them pissed of. Instead you can send me a message and tell me why the posts shouldn't have been deleted.

Also if you have been banned it will not help if you threaten the moderators or talk bad about them, it will only worsen your chances for an unbanned account.
Instead you should think about what you did wrong and when  you've come over it you should send me a message.
I believe people can do better, heck we even have a moderator that was once banned.

Remember noone is perfect though, not even the moderators. The moderators works for free to make sure you get as good forum experience as possible, so that you do not have to filter though pages of *beep* to read the real content.
