Last view: 5536 days 		It's because blackhole feels that too many rules are a bad thing so he'd rather his staff uphold no rules at all, from what I can tell. I'm friends with he and Xk so I cannot say I am taking a side but I totally disagree with what's going on. Xkeeper made this board a fun place to post at, THIS board was meant for people who enjoyed the kind of community Xkeeper had. If they did not like it THEY should have left, not Xkeeper. This board is really only Acmlm's in name. Yes he made it but what does he DO. Not very much. Xkeeper brought life in to this board. And again, if people do not like what he has done, go away. It is not a difficult concept. But no no no, drama needs to be made because that is how the internet works, not in a sensible way.

Honestly, it doesn't matter- it's not like any of these posts are going to make bh and Ailure declare "Hey, let's bring Xk back!" or something...

The whole problem with the board as it stands is lack of leadership... Acmlm is technically the head, but as he's inactive there's no real obvious leader who everyone will agree on- Xk tried to take that role, but was too controversial- but any leader who takes any sort of needed actions will be controversial, honestly... (I guess that's the logic behind the current leadership style )

So, let's see if I get this straight:

-XK is no longer admin (who wasn't perfect, but actually had the cajones to fucking uphold permabans, for chrissakes)
If that were true, Xkeeper would have permabanned himself.

Just stating fact here. Don't let that get in the way of a good dramatic story.

No, I didn't. I shot down both of them.

Which is amusing, as shooting down his kind of defeats the purpose of your point, doesn't it?

On that note, Zem, perhaps we should rename them "Indefinitely banned".

if you can think of a better name for a punsishment someone who's a total idiot (spamming PMs, posting utter crap, generally just being the exact opposite of someone with a brain) feel free to inform us

how about you ban someone for a definite period of time if they break the rules

say it goes up to a month-long ban for a large number of infractions
if they keep breaking the rules every time they're unbanned, they just have to be banned once a month

just an example I've thought about this a bit if you have some specific questions just ask ok

unbanning and rebanning them monthly is a chore instead of just saying "banned until you can realize the "send PM" feature isn't for pasting "spam" and 10 words into over and over"

as we've seen improving members will just come back later under another name and avoid the "old username feeling" ("hey wasn't this moron banned for xxxxxxx earlier") and if they're really smart they even get to remain unbanned after we realize who it is

note that this rule usually applies after a month or so of being banned, not "doing it every two days" like a certain someone we all know

First off you complain way too much. I'd chill if I were you.

-Xk is no longer admin because blackhole89 didn't like the way he was running it and Acmlm/Emuz agreed. Ironically all three of these people haven't posted since then (blackhole says he gone for 10 days but Acmlm/Emuz are still around, just not doing anything from what I can tell). Ailure is the only one I see actually trying to get things done, but that is all I see going on.

-They didn't make it go to shit, really. It was mostly just ||bass and Xk butting heads and then the split. Also, they aren't going wild on the board. Just seems to be here in this thread. Also those that have been banned seemed to have been unbanned. That can be a bad thing but it could mean starting over for some (some I really don't see being unbanned but...). And on another note, before someone can get banned it has to be "discussed" so basically... if you don't like someone's posting style, PM an admin immediately for sooner results to improve the user/ban.

Also, to bring up Zem's sarcastic remark (haha), you (and more people for that matter) act like you are attached at the hip to the board. If you don't want to post just don't post. Really, nobody is forcing you to post because you registered. If that was the case I'd not register anywhere except for places that require registration for downloads. Also, if you don't like the way things are run, think about if it will affect you talking to other people. If it does, then just don't stay. Many have already done that.
You can go ahead and like/dislike people for reasons, but don't let that affect your posting anywhere. I hate someone on another message board but I don't show my hatred towards that person in my posts. If it were AIM or something I'd just talk to that person unless they flat out just went on a flamefest towards me. Seriously, it isn't hard to have conversations with anyone, even those you don't like. This board is about talking about subjects, not talking about how much User A is dumb and User B likes User C so he must hate User D and hate anything User D likes. Think of it as working in the real world: there are those you are going to be friends with, while you are going to be working with many, many fucknuts that you hate but have to deal with anyway. Only difference is that you can leave here without worrying about losing money.

If I want drama, I'll watch TV. I don't need it elsewhere.
You rock.

whoa xk's gettin sassy
settle down

knuck doesn't make bad posts. if he were participating as a normal user on this message board instead of people making a big deal because "whoa knuck isn't he permabanned wasn't he FRIENDS WITH LEGION *gasp*" nobody would even blink twice.

of course, he wouldn't post as a regular user on this board, he just came here to talk about board drama. so did I. I enjoy it! we're not the only ones. Just ask this guy:

Posted by "Xkeeper"
Posted by "Someguy"
I just go to Acmlm's now more or less to read some of the idiots repeating the same thing and see what happens.

Or to bitch, but it's not like anyone notices anyway.

I go there ironically to stir it up more, if only because it's fun and a good time waster.

Other than that, pffbt.
