Why is most of the Zelaron staff SO GOD DAMN FUCKING ANAL!?!?!??!?!?!?

[Penny_Bags]

People have been acting like total pricks lately to members. Just chill ... why is Grav banned anyways? Also, why are all these "personal" feelings of hatred arising between members? Staff and Non-Staff alike....

Grav and KA, Bob and just about everyone who does something even slightly against the rules, etc.....

Some people on Zelaron are pissing me off lately, no idea why.

[Sovereign]

Moved to Gen. Con.

Grav is banned for deliberatly posting 4 threads in an insulting matter towards myself in 4 seperate forums.

I temp banned him, and he continued to create new names. I have now perm banned his main account, and any other accounts made by him will be banned and their posts removed.

[Ganga]

wow.... he stalking you? But post insulting matter towards you in 4 seperate forums what have that to do with this fourm?

[Sovereign]

What are you trying to say? He asked why grav was banned, and I answered..

[Ganga]

Questioning the detail?

[Jamesadin]

He was banned for a reasonable reason, Sov made the right desicion.

[Demosthenes]

I think when sovereign said in four seperate forums, he meant for seperate sections of this forum.

[Hades-Knight]

Yeha this place is supposed to be for communicationa nd fun and stufff, now it is like nazi germany, theres always some1 watchign what u do ...its ridiculous

[D3V]

Zelaron is communist, didn't you know?

[Sovereign]

Communication and fun and stuff is fine, as long as it's not in BLATANT disregard for any rules that have been set forth for this forum.

[D3V]

But rules are meant to be broken, thats why they're created, it has nothing to do with keeping order

[Demosthenes]

Communication and fun and stuff is fine, as long as it's not in BLATANT disregard for any rules that have been set forth for this forum.

So you're telling me that what you and Penguin did in "Operation Dumbo Drop" wasn't in blatant disregard of the rules? Then, after I made the thread to where you and Penguin could continue your argument, I was told that you "didn't need to be told where to argue" and my thread was immediately closed and trashed. And to make that even more fucked up, you and penguin continued going at it in the Operation Dumbo Drop thread afterwards. Obviously, even you, all mighty one, need to be reminded of the rules occasionally.

[Sovereign]

I'm sorry for my blatant disregard of rules. It wont happen again.

[D3V]

It'll catch up to him sooner or later.

Actually, if he is really going to 'crack-down' this thread will be gone because it is in violation of the rules. In the title there is an obscenity. 2 obscenties. 3 obscenties. 4 obscenties. 5 obscenties.

But It's not the Zelaron staff, it's Sov.

[Sovereign]

Edited for Obscenity. Thanks for pointing it out.

[uncapped]

The forums are a wreck. Plain and simple.

A good portion of the staff has gone nuts, and the high-standing members have decided to do the same.

I don't see what you guys are shooting for. You want a gaming forum, but outside of the Diablo 2 forums, every other one is pretty much deserted. Considering theres plenty of great games coming out/already out, that's a little disturbing. You might want to look into fixing that.

[Ganga]

... miss all the old members...

[Ganga]

Wth sov edit my post??

[Sovereign]

I didn't.... it's a glitch. Look at the edit date.....

[Ganga]

wow, I AM A HAXOR, NOW lets dupe some posts, kekekeke muahaha.

[Penny_Bags]

It'll catch up to him sooner or later.

Do you know why there were that many fucking obscenities? Because I was pissed off, and exercising the right to free speech that I don't have on Zelaron.

[Demosthenes]

Do you know why there were that many fucking obscenities? Because I was pissed off, and exercising the right to free speech that I don't have on Zelaron.

Yup. You can now be banned for profanity.

[Sovereign]

Nope. Actually, I think i've officially gone ape shit for no reason. I unbanned d3v by the way.

[Penny_Bags]

The forums are a wreck. Plain and simple. I agree, but I can't do shit to change that, and neither can you...Nothing can be done other than making some suggestions and hoping that someone stops jacking off their dog and listens the fuck up. Sigh.

[Penny_Bags]

Yup. You can now be banned for profanity. Really? hahahahaha... Why in God's name am I not banned?

[Penny_Bags]

Nope. Actually, I think i've officially gone ape shit for no reason. I unbanned d3v by the way. Who enticed you into unbanning him?

[Sovereign]

Nobody. It just hit me like a brick wall, how stupid the reason was that I banned him..

[Penny_Bags]

Don't lie, someone jedi mind trick h4xed you.

[Sovereign]

My mind owned itself >_<

[Penny_Bags]

Yup. You can now be banned for profanity.
Really? hahahahaha... Why in God's name am I not banned?
??????????

[D3V]

He realized he was fucking with me. And I would stir up tons of controversy and he'd get demodded.

I'll post the aim log sooner or later, gotta convert it to .jpg or bmp or something first. But basically I was banned (starting from that second he banned me) that anybody using 'excessive' profanity would be banned. Riddicolous

I've got an idea. We need to have an election.... A Zelaron, where we, the people of Zelaron vote for our leaders.

[Sovereign]

D3v you strike as much fear into me as a poodle. Your not someone to be feared, but reather someone to be laughed at. Stir up as much controversy as you want, because incase you don't know, I don't care if I get demodded.

[Penny_Bags]

Lmao, so now some people think that there is even a fraction of a chance of Sov getting demodded? hahahaha... these forums would go to hell without him running the Zelaron mainstream through the shit sifter, because he is just so active! I disagree a lot with him, but I do recognize his importance.

[kockblocker1]

I agree with you. I'll go a step firther and say nobody deserves the Supmod position more than him.

[Slim]

D3V, for gods sake quit your incesant bitching. No one cares that you're having some piss fit about Sovereign banning you. Like it or not he's the most active supermod we have. With Ex-Mania leaving I think we DO need to appoint another, I'm thinking MJ, Thanatos, Penny_Bags, or possibly uncapped.

Now, D3V, take some midol and get a nap, you cranky whiny little PMS'ing baby. Your helping send these forums straight to hell and I suggest you stop NOW.

[Penny_Bags]

With Ex-Mania leaving I think we DO need to appoint another, I'm thinking MJ, Thanatos, Penny_Bags, or possibly uncapped.
Sup Mod me? I'd like that, but they wouldn't do it, because I am far too vulgar... FUCK.

[Slim]

Well, you along with the others mentioned are by far the best candidates, with the exception of maybe Vollstrecker or Bob. I wouldn't mind the position either, BUT there's the whole longevity thing. Oh well.

[Thanatos]

I'm really liking this uprising. I've been saying shit like this for the past month but nobody has listened to me. It's like nobody cares about Zelaron anymore. Yes, yes, we got the site back up after it crashed, woopah! That's what you're supposed to do as an Owner/Admin/whatever! The thing is, nobody tries to improve it and I've just about had it.

By the way, the staff abuse is off the charts now.

[-Spector-]

I'm thinking MJ, Thanatos, Penny_Bags, or possibly uncapped.



Not me!!?!?!?!?!?

Must be the activity -_-

[Jamesadin]

Okay, you guys have a problem with the staff.

Try this, make a thread, and state every staff member, and what their downfall is. State what they could improve on. This thread would have only the following, nothing else. No comments, nothing. Then, there could be a separate thread discussing what was stated in the first one. It would make things alot more orderly.

[Hades-Knight]

It snot each single one...is all of the fucking mods editing posts, moving threads, closing them for every little reason they see. Its not fun if you cant see some people disagree with one another and having a mod clsoe the thread because its harming zelarons harmony....

[Slim]

I'm sorry, did you forget that they're ENFORCING THE FUCKING RULES?! We have a police force to keep things in line, and in Zelaron that's what the mods do. You're pissed because they do their job? Moving threads that are misplaced, closing stupid, spammy threads, banning those worthy of it, and editing posts/closing threads that are just pointless bashing of another member is what they're supposed to do. If you don't want them to do that, what the fuck is the point of even HAVING a staff? Why not just declare mob rule and let the boards be destroyed, because that is EXACTLY what would happen.

[Demosthenes]

No, honestly Slim, the boards used to be more fun when everyone was just more laid back. It wasn't this bad. The forums used to have a lot more open discussion. The reason mods were around were to ban idiots like Pinoy, but they never really jumped on the spam like they do now. There was a time I was getting a 100+ posts a day almost. If I did that now, there would be severe reprecussions. Quite a bit of spam was tolerated back then, and even though it occasionally dragged the thread off-topic, it was more fun. Now all the mods are strictly about keeping order in a thread. If it goes slightly off-topic, or if they don't like it, it's closed and trashed.

And what do you know... No one cares

Grow some balls and compete on a even slightly fair level.

You know, with all that has happened (the database damage, etc.) it's no wonder they've been a little irritible. Sov had a good reason, as stated throughout this thread. Just give it some time, they'll cool off a little bit (However, I haven't noticed anything different)

[Thanatos]

The database damage is the only thing that has happened; wtf are you talking about? I agree with MJ, old school Zelaron > new Zelaron.

People like UN #1, JohnnyTAE, WiccanMasta, StriderFury, NGM, Mr. Lee, Sirpullido made this forum great. Now, we've got some mad staffers that take out their anger on us. Bullshit. =\

[D3V]

But those Members are long gone. I remember alot more posting from K_A and Viciousmilitia. I made a 'Zelaron Election' thread in the Forum discussion, and uncapped made an 'Advisor' thread, we're just trying to get some ideas to help Zelaron move forward in a positive manner.

[uncapped]

First thing we need is for a Sup Mod to fucking clean this place up. It's looking ugly.

[Thanatos]

I commend you both; kudos.

[HandOfHeaven]

I hope this haze rises, it sucks to see so much unnecassary (sp) flaming all over, and no more fun threads. A tiny bit more spam should be allowed, and the staff might think of being a tiny bit more lenient.

[Slim]

This is depressing as FUCK. This place is full of so much god damn animosity. Everyone just pull your heads out of your asses for the good of this place.

[SupressTheTruth]

as;ljhdlgfakjsdg

[Ganga]

I think we need more members... more intelligent members.....

[Slim]

That was Grav, but yes. We do need new, intelligent members.

[D3V]

I'm intellegent enough to post here, I just don't hardly show it.

Look, we need to quit with this pety bullshit, and fucking pool our ideas together. This is a goddamn waste of time, space and energy.

[Slim]

I'll agree with you there D3V. Oh, and maybe you should start showing this intelligence you claim you have. Right now Zel is going straight to the shitter and we need to fucking fix this. As of now it seems like the biggest problem is Sovereign.

[HandOfHeaven]

Then we need to stop nickel and diming each other, I am sick of it, as many of you should be also.

[platnum]

Ummm, What side are you on?

[Sovereign]

Everyone changes sides and ideals based on the situation at hand. Besides, even I admit I went overboard today.

[Slim]

KR was complaining about any mod using their powers to try to keep the forum from going to hell. I'm talking about trying to bring order back, if that means removing Soverign then I'm for it. I just want things to get back to the way they were.

[RoboticSilence]

Since when was there anything against obscenities?

[Hades-Knight]

No, honestly Slim, the boards used to be more fun when everyone was just more laid back. It wasn't this bad. The forums used to have a lot more open discussion. The reason mods were around were to ban idiots like Pinoy, but they never really jumped on the spam like they do now. There was a time I was getting a 100+ posts a day almost.

Amen brother

[Penny_Bags]

I dunno, but I was told that obscenities were bad... Fuck that.

[Slim]

Fuck, cussing is bad now? What a fucking crock of bullshit. Piss off, you fucking fuckers! Better, Penny?

[Penny_Bags]

The anger was there, but "damn bullshit" didn't really flow.


I wish the title of this thread was still "Why is most of the Zelaron staff SO GOD DAMN FUCKING ANAL!?!?!??!?!?!?" It was pure badass... now it's a small percent of badass... diluted badass...

[NonGayMan]

Since when did Zelaron have rules? Lol.. :haha:

[Ganga]

When new not very bright memebers come here, we have rules now :(


lol, i remeber there wasn't rules anywhere, then bam it pop out of no where at flame forum. Later chat forum, later d2 forums.

[Randuin]

D2 is the gayest of all gays

[Vollstrecker]

Have you visited the D2 sections recently? If so, and you have an example of something I could do better, please inform me... -_-

-------------------------

Anyway, I seemed to have missed a good portion of what's been causing the recent uprising. Sovereign is a necessary Moderator on these boards, and anyone can have a bad day.

If it's been something scattered among a few days and whatnot, do point out what you think we're doing wrong. Obviously, members would have a better idea of when they're not enjoying themselves posting than a Staff member usually will.

It does seem that Sovereign has gone from one end of the spectrum to the other on this (from what I've seen so far). Just give him a break, since he's apologized and has already stated that he will try to do better.

I don't know about the rest of the Staff, but having the members making sure the Staff is not exerting undue force in enforcing rules is a good thing IMO, however, I don't feel that members haunting every step a Staff member takes is very productive. It also sets them on edge, and makes them irritable. This is quite possibly what has happened to Sovereign.

Lighten up a little.

[D3V]

Yeah it's over, good points Voll.

[Raziel]

Exactly what I would have said, Voll.

And I'm not sure where you people are getting this whole "obscenities are against the rules" garbage. I've posted two fairly obscene comments in the last 24 hours, and I have yet to see Chruser smite me with a bolt of administrative lightning.

[Vollstrecker]

Exactly what I would have said, Voll.

We seem to do that often, like we're a hive-mind? o_O

Get out of my head, damnit!

[Raziel]

I demand that you get our of my head, vile interloper!

[Vollstrecker]

No, I will NOT go eloping in your head, thank you kindly. [/spam]

Is the topic resolved?

[D3V]

I think it might as well be closed?

[Raziel]

I think it might as well be closed?

Meh, I'll leave it be for the moment. Penny might have one or two things he'd like to add.

[Vollstrecker]

DAMNIT!

You did it again! >_<

[D3V]

Well he asked why grav was banned, and why the emotions are being displayed, yada yada, this should be moved to the Chat forum so I can spam. [/semi spam]

[Randuin]

Here's what you can do better, tell Chruser he can remove the fucking useless section.

[Vollstrecker]

You see, the funny thing is, is that the D2 section is what attracted a fair share of Staff and older members...

Not to mention 50%+ activity is in that section, and we keep it somewhat informative... I don't classify that as useless.

That, and even if I *did* tell Chruser to remove it, I doubt he would?

[Raziel]

Seriously, Robo, BlueCube and myself all clicked on the Something Awful banner, and nearly everyone else found their way here via D2.

[Slim]

What makes it useless? The fact that you yourself don't use it? That place probably gets twice the activity as any other forum on here.

I found my way here through Vollstrecker, Mjordan and Sovereign so you should all just start worshipping them. That or stoning them, depending on your feelings towards me.

[Vollstrecker]

It's like we're the Three Amigos, without the pwning hats... :(

Oddly enough, the D2 section is what brought me here.

[Slim]

Really, D2?! Go figure. I'm gonna buy me one of those hats...and mock everyone that doesn't have such a kickass hat.

[Randuin]

He's puppet, how the fuck would he be able to make up any sort of mind on his own?

[Vollstrecker]

Chruser has the intelligence to make up his own mind, obviously. I also fail to see how he is a puppet. Would you mind backing up your words with some evidence?

[Randuin]

Ok, I know D2 is and probably will be a huge part of activity. But staying in the past is not suggested, anything of magnitude usually is done by radical and dangerous decisions. If D2 has most of this place's activity, doesn't that just show how LITTLE activity this place has? I have to admit and I found this place through D2 myself, but that's beside the point, it is in the past.

We are a gaming forum, we have to move forward, to what's popular.

We should sort forum sections by genre and not the actual games.

There are alot of more ideas, but D2 is not the answer.

[Titusfied]

Eh, the Forum structure of breaking it up is done quite efficiently is you ask me. Also, there is no rule against obsenities. After all, if there was, it could easily be filtered out and replaced by some random word or phrase whenever it is posted.

Everyone seems to have a lot of qualms about the boards current status, but I'm not seeing anyone suggesting ways to fix what they don't like. Doesn't make much sense to me. If you want to be heard, you have to say something.

[Demosthenes]

We are in the process of organizing our complaints, and presenting them. It might take a little while, though.

[Titusfied]

Most excellent my padawan. I am certainly looking forward to it.

[Slim]

Indeed, right now they're scattered all over the forum. Much easier once we (read: the people that came up with the ideas) get them all organized into one post.

[Titusfied]

Don't make it so overwhelming that some of them get overlooked though. Break it up into sections or something that is aesthetically pleasing to read.

[Slim]

I'm sure a few will be omitted, like the ones about the election and finding a new sup. mod. since it's already been said neither will be happening.

[Thanatos]

It'll be organized, it's not like slaynish is presenting them.

[IronGuage]

Don't worry, Nicorette will help.

[Penny_Bags]

Yeah, the ideas are being organized and such... Hopefully they are heard... booya uprising.

[Titusfied]

I certainly hope they contain good backing and are actually worth reading.

[Penny_Bags]

I havent really contributed to this list yet, being that I have been too busy, and I haven't been on AIM at the same time as he who must not be named... but so far what I have been told about makes sense.

[Thanatos]

"He who must not be named." - ROFLMAOREALLYHARD.

[Penny_Bags]

You are god damn right it was funny.

[Thanatos]

That was a little too far..

[Penny_Bags]

Fuck you muggles!!!!!!!!!

[Dr. Geekstar]

Bah, lets just keep the forum as it is... mayb add sum things.. i like it the way it is now (well whatever, i dunno how it was in the past so i cant tell :s)

[da_zimmorman]

I might be a noob and all but what ive read here leads me to the fact that all of u guys should go in therapy 1) man all that shitting on the moderators when i really dont think there werent any rules b4 they just changed a bit the world changes everything changes and usually for the best!!!!! 2) you dudes keep on repeating the same stuff in pages 1 and 2 3) D2 ROX and if you think there should be no more forum of D2 then youd better leave !!!!!!!!! :mad:

so lets leave it all the way it is and hope for the best :D

[Slim]

I've got a better idea, learn English or leave.

[HandOfHeaven]

I've got a better idea, learn English or leave.
A-fucking-men.

[Thanatos]

I've got the best idea, just leave.
