<div class="IPBDescription">Something wrong?</div> *This is not intended to cause any flamebait*

I would just like to know why stiffs and grumpy old men are incharge of the #naturalselection irc channel. Pardon my freedom but I have been banned at least 3-5 times now by ari "just because" and I say that simply because on all but one of the occaisons I hadn't broken any of the rules. I think it's time that the elders retire or get off the powertrip. I berly even see any talk of Natural Selection in that channel, infact i see more talk about other mods, or furry gamers, or random irc actions than anything. It's berly an enjoyable place but at the same time I still feel a requirement to idle. Sure, I guess if you don't like it leave, but how's that gonna help the community? Now I'am sure others feel the same way...I'am sorry if I came off a bit harsh with these statements but it's how I feel, and maybe others too.
PS - grepdashv ftw

    <ari> I'm just tired of repeating myself over and over.
    <ari> It's not like it's a different user - the same user has been told several times to just drop the subject, yet persists in badgering me about it.

    Seems pretty straightforward to me.

    Plus it was just a temp ban.

    I'm usually the last one to drag out "internet serious business" but really. Internet. Serious business.

    I had a bad brush with a forum admin on another channel on gamesurge, then I just figured going to #naturalselection wouldn't be worth it.

    I think you forgot to mention that "ari" is a natural selection royaltee and only considers voiced members valuable.

    Please provide evidence that someone other than you considers him to be such and I will consider the possibility.

    Also, it's spelled "royalty".

    Please correct my grammar more! Jesus...can you flipping stay on topic? I'am not looking for a lesson in speaking the english language. I'am sure you knew exactly what I ment.

    Also, I never mentioned once in my above post that others have expirenced the same kind of treatment, nor am i saying its just ari. In my case yes, its ari. However, it could be other opps too and other users having the same problems. I just think the opperators need to be a little more friendly.

    Pfft, I don't even consider myself to be anything special. I just don't like repeating myself countless times.

    You were told to stop bothering me about wether I was male or female, but you persisted. Really, my good sir, get a clue, please. You're starting to annoy me.

    That's hardly any way to win friends and influence people. For shame.

    You're not exactly building credibility here.

    See, when you get banned for doing something, you shouldn't go and do it again. And if you actually do it again, you shouldn't get upset if you get banned.
  • IsamilIsamil Join Date: 2003-11-25 Member: 23552Members, Constellation
    I thought this ban was stupid when I first saw it, but comments like " You're a **** opperator. gett off your powertrip." change my mind preaty fast.

    Locking this topic for obvious reasons.

    As an afterlock note: here on the forums, if a member PM's me with the claim that another member has been badgering them with the same question, it's grounds for me to intervene. Whether the "badgeree" is a staff member or not is irrelevant; rules are rules, and we have rules against harassment.

    Last I checked, many of the forum rules translate over in similar or exact wording to our IRC channel. Photek, if Ari's side of the story is true, your tempsuspension should have occurred whether you were repeatedly asking him or asking someone else; the fact that he's an op has nothing to do with it.

    I understand it'd be unfair for me to make this post in a locked thread where you can't defend your position, so feel free to PM me or any other admin for further discussion.
