id like to complain about ,,,, complainers
That being the people who dont actually seem to read all the threads on GD, just the ones they find popular. Now just for a reminder, this was a Kura comment from last week in response to a Stew comment about my Girlfriend. Now the above post was of course, to those who actually read the boards , intended as a parody of THIS , which is an exert from the Levis' 501 thread, which was until recently the funniest thread to hit GD in quite some time.
Now this is where id like to complain. First to the individual who placed a neg rep against me (no naming and shaming this time, youre a lucky man) with the reasoning "Inappropriate Behaviour for a Board Mod". Second , to the TWO individuals whos Raison D'etre appears to be complaining about this board WHO ACTUALLY REPORTED THIS POST FOR BREAKING THE BOARD RULES!.
Now , if enough people would like to comment here asking for those people to be publicly named and shamed, well hell, there just happens to be a handy dandy convenient poll above, and if it gets 50 votes and over 75% yes, ill name and shame the 2 individuals who dont read the boards and complain about inappropriate mod behaviour because they neither understand the concept of Irony, and have had a sense of humour bypass.

Re: id like to complain about ,,,, complainers
maybe the complaining and neg reps were also irony?
I think a PM should be sent to the individuals DEMANDING explanations in this thread!

Re: id like to complain about ,,,, complainers
or shrewd enough to spot that even as a mod, the post was highly irresponsible, and the subsequent " throw rattle out of pram" thread serves as why abusing mod abilities is a foolish thing to do.

it was a poor post, a mod should hold respect at all times and not be resorted to cheap 'joke' posts involving caps, bold and swear words

Re: id like to complain about ,,,, complainers
I thought the mods on this board were appointed because they understand and fit in with the general posting style and the general feel of the board - not to be some saintly do gooders who can't have a laugh with the rest of us. Maybe i'm wrong.

Re: id like to complain about ,,,, complainers
to negate the entire point OF this thread, one of the aforementioned complainers was me.
Mods have certain responsibilities - offensive posts such as the one Kura did - even if intended to be ironic is unbecoming of a mod.
I negrepped him to draw this to his attention , and have it as a private matter but it seems kura wants to make a big deal of it all.
Fair enough - Rather then a private remark its become a formal complaint.
There is no excuse for a mod to abuse the abilities they have, just because they can. - the poll Kura posted is an example of this.

Re: id like to complain about ,,,, complainers
You got neg-reped, and some people don't like your posts.
Boo-hoo. Cry it up.
[Edit] And creating a poll to 'name and shame' people who've neg-repped you just makes me think you deserve the neg rep, and is frankly an abuse of your mod powers which you've used just because you're pissed someone's neg-reped you.
Poor.

Can we introduce a rule that mods/admins have to have a sense of humour?

Re: id like to complain about ,,,, complainers
Nope but forums admins also have certain responsibilities - such as to appoint people as mods who wont fly off the rails, or pull stunts like this and take action if they do.
That said, ive sent my msg to JJ and am perfectly content to leave it in his hands.
He's the forums admin and the buck stops there forums-wise

Re: id like to complain about ,,,, complainers
Thread/post wise things have been a bit busier around here recently.
The other day a thread got moved off the front page within a day.
It's been ages since that happened.

There is one fag on AD who neg reps me for no reason whatsoever, but really it's only a forum, who cares that much?

anyone who negreps on AD is a ****ing fag anyway because of the nature of posting on AD doesn't really justify any negrepping - and it does get rediculous sometimes

Re: id like to complain about ,,,, complainers
Even though Kura can see who neg reps him, I still put '-Weeks' when I neg-reped him.
How am I?
[edit] Also another poll-alteration request:
Can you please change 'Yes , i do wish to see who has no sense of humour' to 'Yes, I do wish to make known the infidel who doesn't share my sense of humour'.
Can we also have GD-burning of the said individual? Followed by a chant of 'Kura! Kura! Kura!'?

multi-tasking is very overwhelming to a lot of GD posters

Re: id like to complain about ,,,, complainers
This thread really is shite.
Partly because Kura really didn't need to draw attention to it. Partly because it isn't a big deal anyway about Kura making this thread, yet some people seem to think it is.
I thought Kura's post was amusing, actually (the parody one).
GD is a pretty relaxed place. If someone wants to complain, then let them. Nothing would have come of it, would it?

Although there was a poll recently about this very thing. The people that wanted to see who gave rep points lost however.

Re: id like to complain about ,,,, complainers
I'm the other person who reported the post, not becuase i didn't think it amusing but becuase I believed that its not the sort of thing a moderator should be posting - I assume forums rules exist for a reason. I never expected much to come off it, maybe just JJ having a quiet word. Anyway its in JJ's hands now.

Mods should be able to post the same things anyone else can.
We don't want them to have different rules, to be elitists and the like.

Re: id like to complain about ,,,, complainers
It was a joke which anyone else would have gotten away with.
One of the reasons i like these boards so much is that the Mods are just like any other member (they mod with their heads and not by the 'rules' per se) and you don't get that on any of the other boards i've used
PS. I've seen much worse things posted by the Mods over the last 4 and a half years of reading GD.
