:rolleyes:


Sounds good though, sounds a lot like me actually (with the loving xbox games like GoW and Halo, but loving strategy-type games as well, or at least a paricular type, then finding out about ogame and getting totally addicted to it ;)).

Is that a challenge? Have you not seen the Youtube footage of me? At my family New Year's Eve party, where I mercilessly chased my four year old cousin around in a drunken rage, attempted to hit him with a plastic, illuminating lightsaber whilst yelling 'Piñata, piñata!', before tripping over my own pair of slippers and falling over, crushing the fleeing juvenile as I did so? Well, neither have I.

Good to see some more of the IPU members introducing themselves.

New members deserve better than having their intro topics spammed up.

If you hadn't said that then maybe this topic wouldn't get spammed up.

Maybe. I wouldn't bet a cent on it though. I wasn't the one who had to comment on it...

First off you're not a mod or anything, so you don't need to make yourself feel like you're policing the boards.

Secondly we weren't even spamming i up, it'd be worse having an intro section where a guy introduces himself and every reply is simply "hi" and nothing else.

Thirdly I don' think he gives a shit whether we spam it up or not (which we weren't doing until you started making a deal out of it.)

I didn't say people wouldn't be interested, but calling what we were doing "spam" makes it seem as if you think the only thing people should say is "Hi." and That's about it.

I know the guy, i've chatted with him on IRC, he wouldn't care if we talked a little bit, especially considering we were not "spamming" at all. Look at other topics if you want to see what spam is, especially those ones where YOU had participated ;)

HIC, I demand that you bludgeon yourself with a rock until your mental status returns to the level of a rapist who calls back to apologise! Your use of elaborate language and words is making me uneasy. Although, I am somewhat relieved to see that your punctuation remains shit-based.

First of all: Hi, Jay! Enjoy your stay! Send me a message if you need help with anything ;)

Second:

I think that it was well within Ironfist's rights to express his opinion on the introduction post, Jack. You are no moderator either and if we (the mods/admins) did not find his behaviour appropriate, we would act. The topic of intro posts being spammed up is a legend here at TWC and I have been against it many times myself. That has changed now, as I simply have dropped the spam-hunting/super-strict Admin attitude and I do not really care about spam in the intro posts that much, but Ironfist was not spamming either.

As a matter of fact - the only spam post I see in this topic is by you -

Please leave the moderating to us - that includes the handling of Ironfist or whoever else it may be!

Thanks Sunny, but that's what I was saying. I can't stand backseat moderating, especially by a person I usually find only talking in spam-threads.

I wasn't trying to moderate myself either, what I was saying was that no one was spamming, as well as there was no point to him saying that. In fact all I said in my first reply was
Quote:

In which he replied
Quote:

Now go look at the Flipsterdogg thread, where he does nothing but spam it up.

Now, would you consider the first 6 responses to be any type of spam? The only thing that there is that could even be considered spam is the comments about HIC, which were included in posts welcoming Jay, and really if you look on any thread on this whole site, stuff like this happens all the time.

Now I would hope that someone could understand why I was a bit frustrated at the moment with what he was saying (considering what I had said before.) And thus probably why I came so straightforward.

But I would hardly consider any of this to be a flame war at all.

Also I'm not sure who did it or why, but for some reason (if you weren't aware of) one of his posts have been deleted. It should be separating my two posts, which are at current, consecutive. I can't remember what it said exactly, but you can take a pretty good guess just by reading my response. Not that what he said was bad or anything though.

Also how can you say that Ironfist was just voicing his opinion and can do so as he pleases (when he was obviously trying to backseat-moderate) and then bitch me out for trying to be a moderator? I wasn't even trying to moderate in the slightest, I have a right to tell someone that I don't think we were spamming, and that I don't think they need to act like a mod about something that isn't even happening.


Lastly

:lol:
might be just a single little emotion icon, and thus be seen as spam, but to be honest I would hardly consider it so.

I laughed at what Andy said, because I thought it was funny. Now sure, i could've put something like
Quote:
 
:lol: true true, although you should be well aware of the "brotherly-love" around here
(because of the chats that had been going on IRC), but I just decided to use the ":lol:" emotion because I simply wanted to get the point across that I thought it was funny. I didn't think any of the other stuff was funny, just what Andy said. There are plenty of posts around that have something just as simple as "Hilarious!" or something, and that's all I was doing. But apparently because of the timing and place that's grounds of getting deleted all of a sudden. Whatev.


And anyways I never even said that Ironfist was spamming, Jimjjo said something

But all I was saying was that we weren't spamming, and that he doesn't need to walk into a topic and then tell everyone to shut up because they're "spamming" when they aren't at all. Now, is it really so terrible that I did that?

I mean shit, if a person does something or says something you don't agree with in the slightest, any person - not just a mod - has the right to speak up. And that's all that happened.

All right, all right, all right - take it easy...I'm sorry then. Maybe the missing post is crucial. I just felt that you could have taken it a bit more easily. And I was not aware or I did not remember his other spamming in intro posts.

The point is that the topic got derailed by Ironfist and you guys followed. Had you just ignored it or something, it wouldn't have continued.

But I don't know. Thinking about it, I wonder if I would have acted differently than you in the situation. It matters not anymore however. Let's not keep up the spam in this topic...I just did not find his comment fundamentally wrong, but in hindsight (and when thinking about the other spam he has caused) maybe you have a point.

I really do not want to waste more time "investigating" this. Especially not when this topic is not nearly as important as the mess in the one in off topic. OK?
