Topic: We need a revivalPosted: 01 June 2006 at 11:11am |

that's right, i said it. this place is becoming stale with the same old arguments and petty quarrels. i think we need some new policy, especially regarding mods and other rules defining accounts.
for starters, i understand that still, not everyone has broadband but for the majority of us who do, how about we allow some larger file sizes in sigs? honestly, if you are still on dialup you need to get with the program here. mods, it's become a great annoyance at how many mods we have and that something like what happened to cedric can happen without any warning. that a mod who has been dormant for quite a while suddenly comes out of the woodwork and vandalizes someone's account for no good reason. and then fails to inform people it has happened, allowing others to make assumptions and blame the wrong people. it's a trend here among the mods, it has happened for a long time, i can remember mods not owning up to their punishments back when i was a troublemaker. so for a solution, how about the mods need to be more active to keep their stars? no offense to anyone, and i will not name people, but if you haven't posted in a good while, why are you still a mod? and for the active mods i thank you (hway, reb, rambs, god, ruska, shorty and enos) for giving half a crap to frequent this place and make it better. maybe i just needed to vent, or maybe we really do need a change here. not like we need a totall rewrite of all the rules, but we could sure use some redefining. no, i don't mean like the krl days again but at least we had order back then... |

They can't take away the mods stars...
Whats done is done, mods shouldnt have to tell everyone what they did and why they did it. Its in the Terms of Service thats its basically their call whether or not to take action. Edited by You Wont See Me - 01 June 2006 at 11:16am |

Cedric probably deserved it....
People like him shouldn't be in here anyow. Elvis did what was correct in this case. I have always respected Evil Elvis, and I welcome his return. |

you wanna get down to the bottom line here? my beef is that he came out of nowhere and did it. under policy right now mods feel that their actions do not need justification. as witnessed by elvis not coming forth and making it now to at least cedric right away. and also in the pm's hway posted in the mod forum. i've read them too, and if anyone was "being a punk" or "deserved it" it was definitely not cedric. but you go ahead, i expect anyone who has been a member before 2k3 to disagree with me and support their pals.
i'm not arguing what happened, i used it as example to change the policy. how about we stay on topic and discuss policy? i'm sure hway would appreciate it if you stayed on topic. ![]() |

I agree with HV. But, just for the uninformed, what was the whole Cedric thing about?

I didn't change the topic. But you just decided to it seems...
I'm only "sticking with my pals" because the're really some of the only decent people here...there are a few here that are new though. I do agree with you that some checks and balances would help the forum, but these need to be done correctly, if done wrong they will fail miserably and this forum will go even further down the drain. If I were a mod cedric would have been gone LONG ago. Thus, probably why I'm NOT a mod. I get too mad. |

I was just discussing whether or not he acted in policy, and whether or not it needed changes.
Things are fine the way they are, if a mod feels something needsw to be done but doesnt want to come out and say it was him thats fine with me. Even if he would have come right out there would have been Cedrics little possie demanding his post count back and whining about the man putting them down. |

I wasn't aware that making a mod angry was against the policy agreement. The things Cedric did have been tossed back and forth between members many times but since it took place within the old boys club it's not a bannable offense? It sounds like a joke that got out of hand....it's not like Cedric actually defamed hway, just a funny photochop and all hell breaks loose...jeeze...Oh and RT, you probably shouldn't be judging people's decency based on your limited knowledge of the general population around here. Seems to me you stick with your buds too much and need to chill.

I agree that the forums have become rather stale, but I'm not really sure shuffling the mods around would do anything.
I'm also curious as to what specific event spurred EE to nuke Cedric. Sure, he's been a punk, he's probably done enough to warrant getting booted, but what specifically pushed him over the edge? Edited by zergrush - 01 June 2006 at 11:50am |

To be fair, you ARE the one known for "coming out of your hole" every ice age or so. |

I agree with HV that this place is getting weak. It doesnt have the family feel it once did. Lets not turn this into a debate about the legitamacy of what happened to Cedric and why, the mods are slugging that one out, us debating it just adds fuel to the fire and angers even more people.
It's not exactly easy to just "revive" a forum, but we can try |

the forum is falling apart lol to make things short Cedric did something to hway that offended him and they had words through PM which evil elvis read and guested cedric for being a "punk" The "senior" members of the forum are finally getting what they deserve and they dont like it so their taking it out on the mods and RT Edited by DracoPlasm - 01 June 2006 at 12:41pm |
