I think we need people who are LESS harsh on idiots (ie: don't make fun of them and don't bitch at them, and basically don't give them the attention they're asking for), but who are willing to hang around, close threads, tell people off when they're being assholes, basically be a good admin.

I'm not saying none of the admins at the moment are like that, though, because that's not true.

There just needs to be a bit more of a relaxed atmosphere around here..

Ok, I'm done interjecting some pointless and probably nonsensical rambling.


Highly doubt it's pointless from what you said, Fyxe. I want for the same thing as well. It's not necessary for admins to go and do that. They're suppose to act superior when that arises and only insulting lamers just put them down...

I know that humor on this board makes it a fun board at times, but bashing lamers isn't a really good form of humor, I think. I'm pretty sure there are some other ways, but that's probably one of the reasons why I haven't been posting too much. I also haven't made any threads, thinking that some admin or some users would just go and troll it out for being stupid...

Though, I think one thing that has been a plague to this board from time to time and I hate how it's there and that some people don't exactly notice it, is grudges...

Well, post count alone doesn't show maturity of a (staff) member, yes. It shows activity and frequency


Remember your penis is only the size of your postcount.

I think some of the lamers that have been banned deserved it, im not gonna name names. And a couple shouldnt of been banned. Theres alot of active members some of the more active who I find to be complete morons and dont know why there aloud to post. This is opinion and thats all it is. And thats what a message board is for no? To post opinion.

People say I am so harsh against anyone who's even borderline spammy, right? And ohhh I'm such a hardass and I ban anyone who wants to have fun by posting. Bullshit.

[13:47:11] <Kefka> seriously, everyone makes a point to say I spam, yet I haven't been banned... is it that I don't spam, or is it that you are too lazy to take action? I don't get it
[13:47:43] <Yiffy Kitten> AHA! Thank you. You're the PERFECT example for me!

Bingo. There you go, folks. I've NEVER banned Kefka. And I am not going to. He posts a LOT, yes, and some of his posts are borderline spam. Why no ban?
- He's never flamed anyone, including staff.
- He's always on topic.
- He always reads what was posted before him and understands thread progress before replying like an idiot.
- He never asks stupid questions (especially ones answered in the FAQ).
- He uses proper English, types well, and has decent grammar (no, it isn't perfect by any means, but I can understand every one of his posts, even if he misspells occasionally).

Kefka is a prime example of a user who I won't ban, but people are saying that I ban people like him. I don't. I ban idiots, spammers, and tards. Kefka isn't one of them.

Anya. See page 4 for details.

EDIT: Page 4 being the default page, assuming you have 20 posts per page (default) set.

EDIT2: and since I was bored... I found the exact post. Post #63 (or reply 62...) in this thread.

If you read my earlier post in here, it was mentioned that I was the one who did this.

Reason? It should be known and talked about if we want things to go for the better, right?

I remember when I was banned here at Acmlm's. I didn't know what spam was when I came to Acmlm's. I learned what spam was and gre from that quick. I started my own board and wasnt spamming. Anyways I got my second chance by luck. The user database got screwed up. So I was back and have hopefully prooven myself to be a better person then what people used to think I was. Anyways im back and learned my lesson. So I found out how to have fun here at Acmlm's.

Yeah, the staff are pretty serious right now. I've noticed that some of those non-posters were banned instantly. It's better to learn proper English and give reasons why a ban should be lifted, rather than re-registering just to flame admins for your own mistakes. Look at my grammar, it's quite accurate. I can remember getting banned in two situations:

1) Ranting on the old Pokemasters board about how the Orange Islands episodes of Pokemon weren't released to video.

2) Creating multiple and/or fake accounts here. They're still mentioned in my current profile.

My board doesn't have a rule against asking for ROMs and other files, but nobody seems to post there anyway. Any volunteers for a revival?

There is nothing wrong with staff being a little strict. It just helps users straighten there attitude.

I really don't think the problems lies with the staff. I just went over the list and there was only one problem I had. And I already explained that earlier. But it's not like he's going to make the whole difference in the board "sucking" or not.

Now I don't want to come off as a brown noser but this is probably the best staff configuration we've had in quite some time. I'm talking about the last couple of years actually. The only problem is that a lot of them aren't as active as they used to be.

Now being here for this long a time, I can say the above because I know how they all act and deal with being staff. I really don't think that's the problem. It can't be. We've had better times with WORSE staff.

How come whenever something goes wrong on this board, it's always their fault? You guys do realize that a majority of the users on this board are just regular members like you and me? We make up the biggest volume of the posts/threads which just so happens to be the meat and potatos of the board experience.

I don't want to sound hypocritcal or anything because I've certainly haven't been the best user lately. I had a huge attitude problem over the past weekend. (Lack of nicotine.) Looking back on it now, the whole Kario thing did get way out of hand. I'll take a lot of responsibility for it because I didn't stop eventually like others did. I went with it to the very end. :/

And I'll be the first to say it. I was a HUGE hypocrit in saying that Kario shouldn't be unbanned because some people don't change. I'm surprise no one called me out on that one. Heh... I hated it when people said that about me, especially since I thought they were wrong. Bans are one thing, but permabans can change some people. So Kario, if you read this, I apologize. I contradicted myself and that's something I don't like doing.

I'm not saying the staff is perfect. They can never be perfect to all of us seeings how we all think different. But at one point, we have to stop and look at ourselves. Personally, I'm going to try to be a better poster like I was back in the early days. (Reviewed my early posts on the old board and I seemed a lot more pleasant.) I suggest the rest of you do too. Try to have a little more respect for your fellow user and quit trying to act like your words mean any more than theirs. (Yeah yeah, I know I'm guilty of it.)

I was a bit hostile to Fyxe the other day and he pm'd me and instead of flaming or throwing a fit, he wanted to resolve the issue. I wish more users were like him. It would certainly make posting here a more enjoyable experience.

We don't want to end up like Gamefaqs do we? Those people suck. We're Acmlmers. To me, that's something to be a bit proud of. Take a look at most other message boards and you'll see what I mean.

Now who wants a hug and group photo?

Hehehe, Legion. I feel that you have a good point there. People can say what they have to say without stabbing each other in the back. I'd rather try to go and resolve things not make them worse by being a hothead about it. I know how stupid I am when my temper flares off. It's not often that it happens here, but I can be quite an ass when I do. That's one of the things why I believe the board hasn't been so welcoming lately. It's just been so consuming by a sense of grudges and people believe that they are better than the next guy at times. Hell, I'm pretty sure this discussion about the board has done some amount of good. After reading through this, I feel that the board has some hope, but... I don't know, I just feel there just needs to be a little more done. Though that's really up to Acmlm, not me.

Thanks Legion. ^-^

And hell yeah we don't wanna end up like GameFAQs. Yerk. *Shudders at memories* And yeah, I think we should be proud too. Like you said, compared to most boards, this place is one of the least hostile and best run places there is.

Group photo!! I'll get the camera... *Dashes off*

Hehe, that's the spirit. If we have that thought behind us, then things should indeed improve over what we have been as of lately. I think it's safe to say that we putting an end to the "Hostility Chapter" of Acmlm's Board. I'm already starting to see myself post just a little bit more already.

I think we can all agree that cake just plain rocks.

But someone should make like.......a group "picture" and all. Only problem is that not all of us have sprites associated with our usernames.

As you seen I hadn't posted in this thread... but I have been reading it. Severeal times even... I was commenting about it on IM's and on other boards but not on this one so... Don't ask my why, but I was afraid all the time that people would just yell at me for saying my opinion here...

Legion, I guess that I have to agree with you. maybe not 100% but like 75-90%. I should blame myself for being passive to things like this instead of being with it...

I have seen things that bother me, but instead of... commenting on it. I just chicken out and... tries to ignore it. Instead of discussing about it with somebody.

And now, Gamefaqs isn't that bad (well as long you don't go to the biggest forums there...). It's far from bad... I have seen alot worser boards, I could show some of them later.

And yes I stated on another board that I was worried more over Acmlm than Acmlm board... "Currently, I feel more worried over Acmlm than the board itself "

Go ahead Kitten Yiffer, show us some of the terrible boards. Give us some idea of how good this place actually is in comparison. ^-^

A group picture with sprites? Interesting, I like the idea, I would do it, but we'd need to get a sprite for alot of users. Kawa would probably easily be able to make it too...
