hehe. i dont know if this has been brought up yet, but i found this to be quite, funny.
MES Screen Grab (http://www.ecsyle.com/pictures/screenGrab_MES.jpg) :D (http://smile.gif)
-
John Tate is a bitch :D
-
it even links to Void Mains site. as much as i like void mains site, i do not think that is going to benefit this site. maybe instead of sending people away, we try to keep them here, and maybe, just maybe, this forum will not be so fucked.
-
The thing that makes this forum fucked is not Zombie9920, it's actually one particular moderator...

I don't believe my eyes! :mad: X11 has crossed every limit! How can the Webmaster allow him to moderate his forums? I'm even offering to moderate some forums instead of X11! For God's sake, he's acting like these are his own forums. :eek:
PS Not only that but he's linking trolls to void main's page. What as ASS! I just hope the Webmaster sees this. :mad:

i cast my vote to strip x11 of being a mod.[/vote] ;)

Let's do the voting in a more advanced way...

very nice.

Nice Refalm. I just voted and there's no need in guessing what. (http://smile.gif)
-
Yea, x11 is a bitch.
I'm offering to mod the forums instead of him.
P.S I've also voted yes.

i guess someone will have to take his place as mod. any nominees? or anyone who wants to be mod? and by the way, i voted yes, and i will vote the same tomorrow.
-
I'd be more than happy to take this guy's place as a mod. In fact I've already mailed the Webmaster with my request. I never felt the need to moderate any forums but now I see that someone has to offer and I'm certainly willing to help the other mods do a good job. You 'know' me, so you can decide if I am suitable or not.
-
nice panos. i was going to "nominate" you but i wasnt sure if you wanted to mod. and i didnt want to put into that position if you didnt want to be. good show. i vote Panos to replace X11 (http://smile.gif)
-
I'll mod. (I vote for myself)

Yeah man, this place really has come down a notch. It used to be cool, but now there's just the same old crud every day. Sometimes I see good people posting for the first time with honest questions and just getting flamed off for no apparent reason. Maybe if people weren't so quick to flame a couple of non-trolls might stick around.

I didn't have such aspirations in the past and to tell you the honest truth, it never crossed my mind. After all, this place was full of mods.
However, after what X11 did today, I felt the need to propose myself, not because I believe that I'm 'perfect for the job' but because I believe that these forums need a more mature mod than X11.
Hell, what will people think when they visit the Unix/Linux forum and see the 'This forum sucks' inscription on top? :eek:
I'm really pissed off at this guy. I just hope the Webmaster sees this, eventhough I highly doubt it. :rolleyes:
EDIT: There was a time when these forums rocked. People like void main, creedon, Aaron, chaosforages, and so many others used to post regularly and really help people on a regular basis. Hell, even Calum is so pissed off nowadays with these forums, Master of Reality doesn't even write 2% of the posts he used to etc etc etc. :(

oh! but I'm pretty responceable, I'll, only de;ete posts if I relly think the should, I'll never edit others' messages and best6 of all, I'm not a troll!
-
I think I am a more eligible mod because I am number 25 on these forums, not a number easily beaten.
-
You would all make good mods in my opinion... and yes, I voted yes :D

Here are a few reasons why you should never be allowed to be a mod, of anything:
1. responceable
2. de;ete
3. relly
4. best6

I do not believe that someone is more eligible for a mod because of his member number. What if a troll that was number 10 steps in and wants to be also a mod? Come on, let's be serious here. ;)
-
I really don't think it'd be a good idea for Billy G. to mod the *nix forum. On the other hand, Panos seems to be somewhat of a Linux-head, and isn't an immature prick.
I vote for Panos.
For the other forums, I really don't know who to vote for, so I'll simply not vote like a good citizen. (http://smile.gif)
-
i would mod the Windows Operating Systems forum, as i do not see the point in having more than one mod in the dead thread zone.

Whoa no need for a personal attack, and your right, I shouldn't be allowed to mod the linux forum. Linux isn't my bag baby. I think I could mod well in the mac forum though.
And being number 25 just means I have experience at being a member of the MES Forums (which means nothing at all) but I can still hold it against you guys. Man I love playing politician, its so fun.
-
again, member number shouldnt mean anything. but, if we are going to play that game, lets throw in post count + quality of posts, and amount of contribution to this site. fuck man.
Panos for linux mod.
-
Q:
1) Why has nobody changed it.
2) Why am I posting here.
3) Why am I still a moderator.
A:
1) Because they all feel the same way.
2) Because I have no life.
3) Because the Webmaster has a life.

Sorry Dr Ratings, but i prefer people to get help rather then this site. I want people to use Linux, not FuckMicrosoft.COM and then get the idea that ANTI Microsoft people are all Apple retards and acronym using script kiddys like, well almost everyone in this thread except...

Once again X11 you respond with more biased childish opinions. Please grow up.
-
To stop myself from posting here I will change my password to somthing i cant remember (jargon) and log out.
-
x11, why don't you just change the forum titles back to something that isn't shit, then stop acting like a trolling bastard. the result will be that this forum will stop sucking so much and you will stop being the object of international derision amongst your peers.
just a suggestion.

Unfortunately Calum, this is not enough! X11 needs to go or be deprived of his moderating rights. Period._
PS And I vote for ecsyle as a mod for the Windows forum.

i didn't want to be sensationalist so i didn't suggest it, but now you have broached the subject i will. x11 shouldn't be a moderator anymore. when i became a mod i got a 2 page email from the webmaster about how we should act responsibly and so on. i don't think x11 is fulfilling the spirit or the letter of this request.
nothing personal about x11, but his troll posts seem to be saying "i am a troll, stop me", so we'd be doing him and ourselves a favour if some of us just dropped an email in the direction of the webmaster asking to releive x11 of his modly duties.

Well if we are playing politician, quality of posts doesn't count for shit, but number of posts does. But you guys seem to want panos so I'll just go along with it even though I should be "Thinking Different"

I edited the Windows OS forum back, but I still need screenshots from people that contain the original text. Please send them to me or the Muffin Man.

I only have today's screenshot from the Windows forum. I don't know if it helps Refalm but you can get it here. (http://promote-opensource.org/myimages/mes2.jpg)

No, I mean from like a week ago... and it has to be a screenshot of the main forum, not one inside the Windoze OS forum. I need to get the original text under the link to the Windoze OS forum back, as it was much better then what I wrote there.

Ah, I see. Why worry though? What you wrote is perfect. I didn't notice any errors or anything and your English is very good as well. (http://smile.gif)

X11
then leave. and most of the people on this board use linux. there are a handful of us who use a mac (and remember, osx is *nix now), and those who do, are probably using a linux distro as well. as for the anti-apple sentiment, the webmaster is an avid fan of apple, as i have read in the source for this site. so i guess you should fuck off.
edit- damnit, i took the bait.

yeah, but still, it's high time x11 finally realised once and for all that it's time for him to shut up and sit down or just clear off.

Zombie became cool and X11 filled his retard shoes... great.
And I vote Panos for mod, there was time when I'd nominate myself but hey I have other things to do now (http://smile.gif)

ban.
I vote for Panos, he admits the faults in Linux and he admits the faults in Mac OSX. He has set up web sites for the "cause" so he obviously has the devotion and I think we can all agree he has the maturity for the role. 1 vote Panos. ;)

How did Zombie5463423463354 become cool? He's nothing but one of Billy's little money making sheep!!
-
well, when x11 is gone, it looks like panos is going to be the new mod. so, i guess there is no need for a "vote" on the issue. unless anyone disagrees with the choice? i don't.
ps- has anyone actually been banned from this site :confused:

zombie has been posting threads that could end up in some actual discussion. too bad some people jump on his case before that happens. he hasn't been "trollish" and doesnt come here to start fights anymore. so zombie has moved up a notch on the ladder, whereas x11 has fallen down the ladder and smashed his head on every rung on the way, only to awaken and think he is the zombie of old. or something.....

2) Because I have no life.
Just grow up. Then it doesn't matter whether u have a life or not. If you stop trolling you will be one of the most useful members of these forums so just quit the attention seeking.
Billy Gates no offense but I dont think a "mac commander captain" or whatever should host a *nix thread. Panos is unbiased, fair and mature. And why the hell would number of posts / user number count more than quality of posts?
Zombie90210 is cool because he posts *useful and mature stuff.* Yes it's pro Microsoft most of the time, but I would rather listen to mature pro Microsoft than immature pro Linux/Mac/BSD...
LOL - just joking of course but Zombie as the new mod? :D
Last time I checked votes - 22 for, 100%

no they never have. one guy (known as the secretive cunt) had his accounts deleted and his IP banned once, but that's hardly a real ban. he or somebody with his characteristics has been back at least twice since. apart from that nobody has been banned from here ever, since the webmaster rightly values free speech very highly indeed.
and i do wish people would get off zombie90210's back. what he has posted here in the last while has not been inflammatory in any way, and that was his only problem on these boards. x11 on the other hand is doing EXACTLY what we all wanted zombie90210 to stop doing before and he should stop it or... well he should stop it, voluntarily or forcibly, but permanently.

Thanks for the votes of confidence guys. Unless the Webmaster actually sees this thread though or reads the mail I've sent him, nothing's going to change really.
X11, you were given a chance to prove how responsible you are despite of your age and you chose instead to prove exactly the opposite. You are a very intelligent fellow but you certainly need to become a more responsible and mature person.
-
Point Proven :D
-
Thank you Google cache (http://smile.gif) no need for screenshots, Google kept a cache of the forum on their servers... I now now what it said: "Discussions about the scourge that is the Windows family of operating systems."
However, by Calum's enthusiasm over changing "Windows" into "Microsoft" in the title, I changed it into: "Discussions about the scourge that is the Microsoft family of operating systems.".
-
i agree...panos would be a good linux mod

I agree too. Panos for Linuc forum Mod (http://smile.gif)

Notice the "if we are playing" part of it, this was a joke to reperesent and make fun of real politicians in all governmental systems.
I was kidding, of course quality matters, I was making fun of lawyers and politicians.
I do not want to continue with this fight but I do want to iron this issue out, I was NOT being serious.
Note- I will be changing my name to jeffberg, I use this name every where else and I'm getting tired of Billy Gates cus it makes me sound evil. When I was originally billy gates the forums were a lot different, back then it was funny to call him Billy, now people think you like him or something. So , I'm jeffberg Mac Comrade Captain from now. I will probably have an intirum Bill G in my name so people may recognize this....wow this is a long note, longer than the original post.

Okiedoke, sorry for being inattentive of late. The X11 situation has been rectified; he's just a regular (l)user now. Not because he's more or less anti-Apple (jeez, I'm not THAT petty), but just the generally stupid behavior and abuse of privileges he's been engaging in.
Panos is a mod in Linux now, since everyone seems in support of it. Was that the only place he wanted to be a mod, or did I miss something? Let me know . . .
-
i think he only wanted linux, im not sure. if you need someone to fill x11s spot in the windows forum though, i would happy to do it ;) [/hint]
-
Wow, something actually got done around here! Well, I'm glad Panos got it (for some reason I thought he already was a mod).

Thanks for the quick response. Actually, I thought that it would take much longer for you to actually see this, since I know that you're busy and everything and it's not very easy to administer a popular site on top of all.
As for the mod privileges, I'm cool with the Linux forum only but I believe that the Windows one, where X11 is still a mod (hmm), suffered most of the damage. If you didn't see the respective thread at the Windows forum, then I believe that you should take a look at this screenshot (http://promote-opensource.org/myimages/mes2.jpg)from earlier today. Thanks to Refalm everything is back to normal over there for now.
And as I wrote above, I vote for ecsyle for a mod in the Windows section.

X11 is gone now anyway, so don't worry you don't need to take any "steps" or any "action" to get him to stop.
He's stopped himself.
