Da Schneib shows up late

[Schneibster]

Edit: I am speaking as a member in this thread and not as a staff unless I specifically state otherwise.

That's good to know.

I think what you're saying is that some posters have been gaming the system by subtly sneaking in personal attacks and you responded by gaming the system more obviously.

While this may have seemed idea good idea at the time, the effect is that your name-calling caught out attention while other members' name calling did not.

No, I wasn't subtle at all. You're assuming facts not in evidence, among early faults in your argument.

I didn't say you were subtle.. I used the words 'more obviously" and I prefaced my statement with "I think". I was submitting my thoughts for clarification.

OK.

Seth gamed the system to "get" me because it couldn't answer my questions. Seth is a fucking troll, and you all admit it.

Earlier I had asked a question Ronja got so hot and bothered about she jumped up and down asking for more time to answer it. I allowed more time, and when the time she specified had passed, I let it go without comment; she's busy, she says.

Next thing she does is ding me for an infraction that just happens to be the one that the person she's doing it in favor of just did to get her to do it to me.

Sorry, that looks like revenge to me, and this place is a toilet if shit goes on here like that.

My experiences do not tend to make me trust people when shit like that is going on. In fact, I can't see any reasonable person doing anything but what I did.

[Schneibster]

To be quite dishonest

You're gaming the system!

No, I'm notifying a troll (and everybody else watching) that they're being a troll.

That would be you.

[Schneibster]

I'm sorry you feel like we are

It's not about me, and it's not about how anyone feels. It's about what Ronja has done, and about Tigger's and Seraph's and Xamonas' attitude about it.

ETA: and about Tigger's and Xamonas' and Ronja's attitude about the fact that I am asking a question about the rules that none of you have an answer for. I'm now, due to Ronja's actions, asking another scary question, and they're acting even more aggressive. It's pretty transparent. I don't think anyone needs to think about it long to identify the posts on this thread that make me have the opinions I do. I also don't think anyone's looked very hard at what Ronja did, because it's pretty fucking ugly.

[Schneibster]

One more thing: I'm assuming that you people care how you're seen after you do things. Maybe I'm wrong. If I am everyone will stop talking to me.

Asking inconvenient questions is not something that tends to make one a popular person.

[Schneibster]

That it takes more than 30 seconds to respond to that is a fail.

Forum is pretty quiet for a couple of hours in the middle of the night(GMT), picks up again then as it comes into morning.

I wasn't commenting on whether I got an immediate answer or not. I was pointing out that if someone looks at that longer than 30 seconds, they're trying to figure out how to get around it instead of answering it.

The way things are going, Devogue will be losing his crown very soon.

Not that I'd know what he's been up to lately, seeing that I put him on ignore.

[Robert_S]

Merely trolling is not against our rules.

[Schneibster]

Devogue isn't a problem as far as I've seen. Certainly not any part of the problems I'm asking questions about here.

[Schneibster]

Merely trolling is not against our rules.

I had the system gamed against me, and then got accused (ETA: by a member of the staff) of gaming the system for pointing it out, in apparent revenge for asking an inconvenient question.

Why do you keep trying to make this about me? Are my questions so scary?

[Thinking Aloud]

All I want is an assurance I won't be cut off from a community whose opinion I value because some fucking crank decides to harass me. I don't know what else to say to you. Either you believe it or you don't. But if you don't, or even if you don't demonstrate it to me, then I can't afford the risk of posting here.

It's your call.

In the history of this forum we have permanently banned one person, your chances of being cut off are therefore quite slim. I won't say impossible, but you would have to work very hard to achieve it.

It took me a week to ask a question that a moderator saw fit to seek revenge for me asking. A bunch of other staff are now engaged in trying to get rid of me too.

Just sayin'.

Lie.

[Robert_S]

You were reminded of the play nice rule when you implied that another mmber was a jackbooted thug

Also, we don't actually have a rule about gaming the system.

This is entirely incorrect.

The only way I can see you'd know that is if you're clairvoyant. I have named names and yours is not among them. That's because you weren't involved.

I'm still trying to figure out what question you are talking about.
