I don\'t dislike you....Why the hell would you think that?

I\'ve gotten into worse beefs with other members, and I think no more or less of them because of it.

I don\'t \'know\' you. Just like you don\'t \'know\' me. I am simply trying to prevent disruptive behavior.

I delete whole \'threads\' all the time. It doesn\'t constitute any more of an \'attack\' than a single post. But again...\'proper moderation\'...you are assuming to tell me what my job is. That is where I have a problem.

EDIT...that should be *presuming*

Threadomancy and flame baiting all at once.
:eek:

I\'m going to see if I can drag this even more off-topic.

Vike - you are very respected and loved here even when you do tell me I\'m out of line (usually because I am). Same for Mike.

Shadzar - you sound like a fairly intellegent 14 year old that is just feeling his testosterone. My daughters dated a few of your kind when she was younger. Most needed meds to keep their mood swings under control. I could usually point out when it was time for a redose becase that is about the time I was telling them they needed to leave or were going to have to stay to repair the holes that their heads were going to make.

There comes a time in life where you learn that you were given 2 ears and one mouth so you could listen twice as much as you talk.

Stirring the pot can be fun, and I\'ve done it on occasion myself, but whipping it to a frenzy is not tolerated here. Want that attitude all the time, go to Frothers.

Is that clear enough for you or do I need to get out my set of crayons and draw you a big picture?

No. I\'m no mod - just someone on these boards that has been around a while. So take my advice for what it is worth.

Wow, that got a little heated and kinda flew off topic.

Props to airhead, some good words that should be heeded.

But back to what its really about and thats the slaanesh/eldar wraithlord. I love the idea, and it epitomizes the hobby to me, someone making their own interpretation of the history made about the hobby.

I like it because it adds flavour and a new dimension to the norm, its the one thing that annoyed me when i frequently visited my local GW as nobody had a personalized 40k army. Everything was to generic. This is not so the idea i love.

Though work on the picture taking and get some more pics from better angles so we can fully analyze and appreciate the painting.

never really looked into what went on with that thing, but apparently a biodegradable scaffolding of sorts is placed under the mouses skin along with some cartilage cells and the mouse nourishes them as the grow to the form.

friggin wild stuff and that was in 97 now it seems they are workin on growing replacement livers which would be a miracle, just hope they don\'t stick that on the back of a mouse :p

Shadzar;
Once again you proved to me that you have no knowledge of this site or the attitude of either of the primarily active moderators, which is to be Low Key. You’ve also taken it upon yourself to dictate in this thread (and not for the first time) how this site should be moderated. So let me appraise you of some facts;

A couple of weeks ago Supervike and I compiled some figures of what moderation we did outside of the forums:
Statistics
Images 873
Comments 755
Article Reviews 6
Articles 1
News items 8
Forum Complaints 9
Which in Chart Form looks like this:
CmonStats.jpg


1. Borg, Supervike and I moderate all aspects of this sites availability to the users, Image Approval, Comments, Article comments, Articles, News, the Forums and most importantly Forum Complaints.(A subject to which I will return shortly).

2 Moderating Images is a task both Supervike and I enjoy, we get to see stuff mostly before everyone else and sometimes that gives me to opportunity to Flag an image for others to see where the user is not an active forum member. Very rarely we have to refuse an image, usually it is because it’s a duplicate, it’s not rotated or someone is deliberately taking the Piss.

3. Moderating Comments is also quite a pleasurable task as in 99% of the comments left are by reasonable people. The very few exceptions to that rule are usually given “short shrift” by both Supervike and I, and in point of fact the person you are claiming to be a Troll (Oh the Irony of that comment.) has the vast majority of his comments rejected for his insulting behaviour.

4 Moderating the forums isn’t an onerous task because mostly they are self moderating as the vast majority of forum users do not like to have “Socially Inept, Noisy or Attention Seeking” people causing issues and will “Call them out” on it. Take note; this is what has happened to you recently.

5 Forum Complaints. The vast majority of forum complaints that Supervike Borg and I deal with are to do with the Porn or Spammers have been a thorn in our side for the last few months. In fact this week I’ve dealt with over a dozen complaints on that very issue.
UNTIL THIS MORNING when I opened the admin functions to find 10 forum complaints solely about this thread and your behaviour and attitude to Supervike.
I also have 8 Personal Messages regarding you, your attitude in general and this thread. Several have asked for your removal from the site and to be completely frank, I comprehend their Point of View.

Now I have a reputation when things irritate me on here for being very “School Teacher-ish” and that description is accurate. Supervike normally acts in a very gentleman like manner, which normally most people note and for which he has gained a huge amount of respect amoungst this community. But you’ve decided to ignore and challenge his moderation when he has been more than tolerant of your attitude and ignorant presumptions.

So let me be very \"School Teacher-ish\" here and state quite frankly, you have in the last week or so quite publicly criticised this site, made comments about what you see as shortcomings of moderation, and when one of your comments regarding the number of people having bad experiences on here was challenged, ignored the request for further information or specific example.
All this would be comprehendible if you were making a point about why you were leaving the site, but instead you have chosen to continue posting forum comments, image comments and even an image, which initially I saw as taking the piss and still do.
I cannot understand the mentality of your double standards in this behaviour, on one hand you are pulling the site to pieces, on the other attempting to use the site to gain kudos.

If you do not like Coolminiornot, leave, but don’t be a hypocrite and condemn it, then try to use it.

:flame:
