Le Victory, le Forge

I love how moderation is treated like Serious Business there.

"We've taken this thread backstage for review."

"This was not a [capital-W!]Warning, it was merely a [capital-A!]Admonishment."

Fuck that noise. It's a fucking message board. About pretending to be an elf.

Rather reminds me of The State from the Larry Niven trilogy (The Integral Trees, The Smoke Ring and A World out of Time). How bad does your moderation have to be to make enWorld look reasonable?

Aarrgghh!! I go over there to look - and Nina has already modified WalkerP's post and red-texted all over the place. Just because Pundit is a banned user. Hell, up in the RPG section Zorg recommended someone go to another forum (BAnhammer) to get my view on a TREK Gaming idea - and I'm a banned user on RPG Net.

Bannings? Really?

Hopefully he'll have the stones to respond to what's been said here. Though he's probably filed a post in 'Trouble Tickets' (there's a waste of time if ever there was one) to get us all banned.

What's worse about that forum is the palpable air of not wanting to upset the Great Moderator Dragons; 'not wishing to stir, my lord but couldst thou deign to favour me with an explanation as to why so and so has been banned'...NO! ROAR! BAN!

ffs

She's another of the fevered egos; ambitious little mare too.

I've never forgiven her for shooting Jack Bauers wife. Bitch!

Pathetic. I seriously considered posting the only real solution to their bullshit over on that TT as well, but I'd have to register, and then deal with having anything I post deleted and replaced most likely with Sorry Ass Nina's "see no evil" bullshit. It just isn't worth it. They don't want a better forum. They want what ever it is that you call that wankfest. Anything I write would be pointless and a waste of my effort, and frankly, they're not worth it. I'm happy reading this site and I'll be content with that.

Since when was this a thread about RPGnet? Weren't we happy enough ripping the Forge a new one?

What? We've alway's been at war with Eastasia!

RPGPundit · November 05, 2010, 03:53:57 PM

Yeah, I seem to remember more than a few banned posters who've had their positions presented in one way or another.

But its not even really about that. I wish I could say it was just that they're scared of me by my lonesome, but the real thing that scares them is theRPGsite, and what it represents, particularly as a weapon to those who might want to argue for reducing moderation on rpg.net. Its not that they think that they'll instantly lose thousands of users to us or something, its that the very thing we represent weakens their position with regard to moderation.

So they do absolutely everything humanly possible to avoid any link to theRPGsite becoming known on rpg.net, ESPECIALLY within the context of our free speech policy.

Bradford C. Walker · November 05, 2010, 05:32:26 PM

I reposted the Pundit's post to my LJ page, which feeds to Twitter and Facebook, where far more people who actually care will actually read it (and can't do shit about censoring it).

RPGPundit · November 05, 2010, 05:34:53 PM

Well, very good, thank you!

We might have been but then we had RPG.netters coming here to "see the show". Idiots might have their own show if they weren't a buncha pussies.

Out of passing interest, how many of you cunts are just resentful because they banned you?

I ask because I care.

Open's all right, the main problem with it is a massive overemphasis on consumerism rather than anything mentioned here.

Tangency would be better closed. I also find it extraordinary that they have Porn Monday and regular porn discussions given the general tenor of the site. I never wanted moderation, but if it's there Porn Monday is exactly the sort of thing I'd moderate into oblivion.

It's an rpg site, why does it need a regular porn discussion thread?

Oh, and for the record, I'm a big fan of Levi. I disagree with him about this place, but people can disagree. I still have huge time for him.
