This is why noone talks to the mods.

[Toastburner B]

Wow...to think all you have to do to have the masses chanting for your mod-hood around is to freak out after you get discussion banned.

If I had only know.

...No, wait, scratch that...I like my sanity too much to venture into the Discussion Forum again...

Are we gonna keep playing the one-up game? Because you know I'm an EMT, I can play this alllllll night. Need I remind you about the pooping G-Tube story?

Also, if you make Frogman a mod, I should be made a mod too just to foil his evil and dastardly plots.

I know, seriously!

...I get this image of Frogman getting into a heated discussion, and then QQ, her hair in a bun and nose in the air, huffily announces they are leaving before snatching up her purse and trotting away, with a single yell for her husband behind her.

[Loyal]

Oh christ you actually did it.

[Fifthfiend]

Ladies and gentlemen I'd like to introduce to all of you our newly hired modlerator in charge of complaints, beheadings and horsewhippings, Frogman!

[Mirai Gen]

Yay Frogman! Welcome to the mod staff!

They're oppressive dicks. You'll do well together!

EDIT: This is seriously the best thread ever.

Oh boy, I can't wait!

I was told that my comments were childish, and in an epic case of pot calling the kettle black, for a single infraction of apparently "Spamming" the phrase "Sweet you are all on my side for this one" or something along those lines, see I didn't realize that posting something ONCE, a declaration of elation counted as spamming. Next I'm accused, but not warned of dropping my website into every other post, as Melfice pointed out.

Okay, buddy. We clearly have different definitions of spam. In this forum, and in particularly the discussion forum, spam is defined as a post that adds nothing to the thread at hand. "People agree with me!" is not a useful contribution to a thread, and as such, you got slapped on the wrist for it.

However for those who are somewhat neutral in the way their minds are wired and open for the facts that I apparently so blatantly ignore, then you will see that out of all the posts I've made, I mentions U-J this many times:

1. My introduction in 2006
2. The comic discussion thread in 2008
3. There was a U-J poster request for Rick Zarber's comic in 2008
4. Discussing a Mauve Mage comic in 2008
5. Explaining the development of Andy Frogman... where use of U-J is necessary to explain.
6. Finally I mentioned it at the end of the discussion thread about the kids killing a sheep.

That's 6 times over the space of 4 years. That's an average of 1 and a half times per year. That's less than 10% of my total posts. You want statistics you got them, there they are.

These statistics are such bullshit. For one you only post for like 1 week at a time, so in the 2 weeks you've spent at this forum since BUTTSPRESSO was founded, you have posted about BUTTSPRESSO, according to your statistics, 3 times per week. You drop a hints to your totally awesome league of superbuddies of BUTTSPRESSO like a bird drops shit in just about every post whether explicitly or implicitly and I'm not about to condemn myself to digging through the cesspool that is your posts to find every single example in context.

So you say I'm childish, you tell me that I don't back up my comments with accurate enough evidence. Well how about this one. Everything I said in that last post was fact.

Given your incredibly delusional definition of fact.

The Admins with a high enough permission, CAN check your PMs. That's a fact, it's stupid to believe otherwise. Now admittedly they may not be able to click through the admin panel and select, look at PMs. No, but If this site is as good with the admin side as it claims to be, then they backup their database once a week. Shockingly PM's are stored on the databse, some forums encode the raw data but it's not hard to turn back into text. So if you have any PMs in your box when they back up, they have full access to it.

You are totally forgetting the fact that we are lazy when it comes to frivolous bullshit like that. Seriously, dude. Even if we gave that much of a fuck about what was being said about us behind our backs we wouldn't go digging through EVERY PM EVER to find it.

However I never once said that they DO actually check, I said that if it were going to go bad and attempt to ban me or the people who contacted me, doing it through the PMs would be a waste of time, because it was not said to me on NPF. Does that mean the mods/Admins took a leap of logic here and come to a bad conclusion? you know 2+2=5? yes it does, they instantly took it badly and quoted my post out of context to make it look like I was accusing them of snooping. Until now I thought that the comments made to me by the five were like most "truth", there's a nugget of gold in the center but first I have to dig away through all the mud and over exaggeration.

That is what you were implying. Saying "And don't even THINK about looking through PMs because they weren't there neener neener neener" makes ANYBODY think that you're accusing them of snooping. Connotations > denotations. What you meant wasn't what you said because if you said what you meant we'd have banned you and you wouldn't have been able to make this stupid little rant of yours and we wouldn't want that, would we? HINT: yes we would.

Meister, bless him, he tried to be a good guy, he assured me that banning was not on the cards for me, and that I shouldn't worry about telling the mods how I feel about what's going on on the forums, he even said that he took my advice on certain ideas that I had concerning ending the use of locked threads by the mods, to make comments that the users being accused could not defend against. Yet look what's happened, FenrisWolf, Fifthfiend and Synk, have all done it, since I spoke to Meister. Hell look att he title of Synk's post. Can anyone else say bitch!?

I'm not quite sure why banning was never in the cards for you because telling somebody to go to hell in discussion is pretty much a one-way ticket to GetTheFuckOuttaHereVille. Also, you can't expect instant results. The mod staff works as a team and if anybody has the power to make a rule without running it by the others it's Clevinger because these are his boards.

If you have a problem with me at least have to fortitude to say something where I can defend myself you fucking cowards! That's all you are, cowards, hiding behind you computer screens and your admin/mod powers. You are nothing but a group of internet tough guys who have nothing better to do than troll members into an argument purely for the satisfaction of you banning them. Bunch of jackasses.

OH SHIT GUYS HE'S ONTO-Wait a second. You acted like a jackass in discussion. While jackassing at Noncon, I think. Perhaps it was Mirai? Either way, you weren't jackassing at a moderator so we couldn't have trolled you into an argument you willingly put yourself in and willingly acted like a child in.

But what do you know, today I get told by another NPF member that the admins are over reacting and being childish. They logged in to discover that all the uses of the name of mywebsite had been replaced by BUTTSPRESSO. Very mature.

It was delightful.

You see, this is the reason why no one comes to the mods. Because the mods are worse than the users. Ever heard the phrase, "Power corrupts. Absolute power, corrupts absolutely."?
For the most part you have no idea what it means to be moderators! I like to use the term Leaders in Service, as moderators and admins we are meant to lead the masses, show them the way that is acceptable to behave on the forum, and service the communities interest when a problem comes up. What happens then when the problem is the moderators. When you can't talk to them when their all high and might on their golden thrones in ivory towers! If anyone makes a comment that states that you should be acting like leaders, and not bitch slapping your scapegoat, yiou bitchslap them and make them your new scape goat. Which is whats happened to me.

No, we take idiots like yourself who break the rules and then whine about getting in trouble for breaking the rules and bitch slap them for funsies. You're not a martyr, stop pretending you are.

I know I made a mistake in the Discussion thread, I even dared them to ban me, but they didn't instead they decide to be childish pricks, and you know what's worse. There are some of you out there who agree with me, but you won't stand up and be counted because your afraid. You are afraid to stand up against these ass holes in fear of being banned. Why? Is this place really all that good? If you have to fear about what you say or do, then the answer is no. If you are afraid to have your say heard, if you are afraid to have a differing opinion to a moderator and get subsequently banned, then you are VOTING for a DIC(K)TATORSHIP! You are wilfully forgoing your rights to freedom.

Dude.

Dude.

This is not a democracy. This never has been a democracy. There are no votes. This is the United States of Brian Clevinger. Always has been, always will be.

However, Brian Clevinger really ain't all that bad of a dude so for christ's sake if you have an issue with the way we run the ship PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD talk to us about it. I'm on AIM like all the time, just shoot me a message. Shoot me a PM. Send a carrier pidgeon for all I care.

What's even worse, this thread will be locked before anyone has the chance to respond, it'll probably even be deleted before many of you get the chance to read it. There is a reason for that, because this website is nothing without it's members, same with any site. The more members that join the more power the mods have, because they have power over more people. However if this site were to loose all it's members, God forbid, then the moderators will have noone under them, they will have no power, and for the most part they are relaxed, content in knowing that there will always be at least one person they can push around, otherwise they would respect the members a hell of a lot more.

YOU ARE NOT SPREADING THE GOOD WORD AND YOU ARE NOT CONVINCING ANYBODY.

Next time be sure you can like, part the red sea and do miracles and shit before you try to bring the good word down the mountainside.

Rules are there to make things better. Rules are not designed to spoil someone's fun, they are designed to control the outlet of that fun and direct it in a creative way that can be enjoyed by all. This forum, the rules are there strict for the new members, can be bent for the longer lasting members and are the plaything of the moderators. They use the rules as it suits them. As pointed out above, using locked threads to harass members. Members like me who realise that in the real world these people have no power, and that's why they covet it so much here.

"Establish yourself as a good, valued, and productive member of the community, and we'll let some minor shit slide as long as it's not too obtrusive, but you need to actually let us know that you're serious about this whole memberin' business first so be straight with us for a little bit, ya dig?"

WE ARE EVIL

You are worthless, pointless, a waste of air, and by the time you get around to posting something here, or locking the thread, making sure no one else can have their say on this matter, you will all be nothing more than the shadow of a memory.

Your mother.

Of course I'm not expecting a real reply to this from the mods, they have no real way of defending themselves aside from slander and libel, belittling anything that they disagree with with sarcasm and insult. If you actually have a working mind. They are childish like that.

OH SHIT GUYS THEY KNOW. ABORT ABORT ABORT ABORT

(Nevermind that most of the memberbase joins in on the sarcasm and insult in cases like you.)

BUTTSPESSO... seriously, that's the kinda thing a 6 year old would find immature.

And it's the kinda thing a NPFer would find hilarious!

Bye, kindly go to hell...

Ooh, you referenced the post where I discussion banned you in the post where I'm gonna ban you too!

It's closure!
