Looks like it cant be done without modifying some stuff then. Lets be honest though, do I really need to implement something like that?
Now I actually took a chance to read this whole thread in detail once it calmed down and I am now free to address some points made (filtering all the shit out hopefully)
Lets start of with the "RIP forum activity" thing. It's quite correct. All the activity is generated by drama and makes the forums interesting. This is not to say that we dont care about the purpose of what this forum is for. We do but whats the point if the forum is inactive. A while back, we were stricter on this and I feel this has left a negative impact hence why its a bit lax now and you can call things how it is (and people will respond accordingly)
Now lets address a post further up made my Leonard. Mainly about me apparently "sucking at my job"
Leonard wrote:Sorry to put it that way but this can only either be bias, complete incompetence or even both and this is simply unacceptable.
I'm not sure what it is, but this is not the only example: just look at this one post above.
And the forum is just full of these.
When do you start doing your job?? Or maybe you actually are biased?
Some people agreed with me on the fact that this forum have become a trash for the past few months and as a result said people are now simply silent or don't even read the forum at all anymore which is sad.
Lets see. I'm not biased at all. The staff here is also not biased. Hell Raz hangs with Decay and A3 (which lets be honest, you seem to have a problem with right now) and hes not biased. We have a good team. I had also pointed out that I talked to Decay about this before you decided to notify us about one of his posts asking if he got punished despite the fact we were way past that.
For Reference allow me (yet again) advise how this started. He said that someone signature is retarded due to the size of it. Note that this is an opinion and everyone is entitled to that (including you and me and everyone else.) Decay gets blamed by Slim for calling him a retard though Decay never said this. This is probably why Slim got that bad response. Yea ok, I do agree Decay could tone it done and be more diplomatic however hes not 100% at fault for this.
Of course you come in being like a back seat mod telling him how it is. I wouldn't play the past card either because quite honestly, anyone can play the past card. If it was recent then yea alright, you have a point. But past infractions dont get considered when banning someone. It caused issues in the past and normally the community itself seems to handle people with a bad past well.
Look, right now you come of as having hatred for Decay. I can smell the hatred from here all the way in aussieland and thats fine. As Rustking pointed out you have not sat in a staff channel where we decide things. This also is in relation to banning anyone or punishing anyone. Moderators here use their discretion and are encouraged to do so while being fair. We also disagree with each-other all the time. Point is, your "nothings getting done" thing is wrong though that's my opinion to yours, take it how you like. Decay has probably been in a lot of chats and what not lots of times and got a lot of warnings.
Now I am all ears when it comes to suggestions, feedback, you screwed up but I reckon you should do this feedback etc. You have only just said, we are biased or incompetent because Decay is not punished through your eyes and made it known that you do not like it one bit. Seeing as we are here and I got around to read this properly (because I was not going to till it became chill, honestly) is I want to ask you a serious question Leonard. You can answer how you like.
My question is, I i were to resign tomorrow and be all like "Yo Leonard, your admin now. Congrats and have a nice day. If you don't want to be admin then give it to someone else who will keep this place running and alive" Would you take it, and tell me how you would be better then me? Seeing as you don't think I do a good job, especially at this particular issue, I wouldn't mind hearing your thoughts. This is also to not start more drama or an argument (so everyone else, keep it civil please or warnings will be handed out) but I do want to know what would you do then, if I am apparently terrible.
Anyways thats it. My previous post with the Sans pic still stands. Oh and for future reference (and this goes for anyone) telling someone to kill themselves via a PM or anywhere at all is a very good way for me to not listen to you. Just saying.
