temp

Some great members of GBAtemp have left us this year, but it's just a cycle, people will always come and go.

There are some great people who should hopefully be coming back soon (temporary hiatus type things).
Others we may never see again. Bless them for their time here and look forward to the future.

I won't name any names, because it doesn't make a difference
A couple of people alone don't make GBAtemp what it is, it's every single decent member combined who forms the ethos and the spirit of this community.

As long as those decent people can hold the fort and keep it real, then i'll be here.

As long as theres fun here to be had, information to be found, interests to be nutured, then i'll be here.

I'll see you around here tomorrow.
goodnight all :grog:

disclaimer: excluding possibility of short/temporary leave due to study or other commitments. hahaha

You are immune to pretty much every other rule, so i wouldn't be surprised if nothing happened in response.

No, I'm not immune. You think I didn't get chewed out for what I said last night?
 
Ok one last post to explain myself, Im finished with the p1ngpong persona I just want to fade into the background of the forum and just exist in peace and quiet here.

And Ace the way you responded to my post was ridiculous, no one was saying you Mods arent hard working, I was praising you guys and defending you, I criticised one thing and you went off on a rant about it and actually proved my point, in my opinion!

That has really soured my view of this place, I dont want to be playful here anymore.

Yeah I went a bit overboard there, even I know that. But my mindset about the "You push me I stab you" thing still stands true. And what do you mean until your name is changed? Huh?

Gaisuto thats no kind of mindset for a mod to have, grow up!

If you moderate with that attitude you will have nothing but trouble in this forum!

Mark my words!

I do understand what you're saying. A lot of people are really blowing this out of proportion though, it's not like I'm going to do this to absolutely every single member of the community. As it stands I've spoken up to two or three users tops. All of them known trolls, constantly warned members that really add nothing to the community but flames and more flames. If they want to troll the forum, they're going to learn what it's like.

And even if you get renamed, everyone will know who you are still. I still don't quite follow. Throw me a PM?

I don't like being called a troll. You don't get to do this to any member.
 
Yeah a single outbreak warrants a ban outright. Because nobody gives our fellow members the same treatment. Mods can't get banned? Puck says what?

Then don't go calling everyone else one. Like I said. Do it for an entire week without a single insult.

Staff should be held to a higher standard, since when you flip out and insult members, you get to warn/ban us for responding to it, like you did last night.

Well you're not banned right now are you? You're close, but you're not. :)

that's why the mods should do better.

Alright! My life long duty as a mod from this point on is to make sure I dedicate 100% of my life to this forum and nothing else! Because I totally don't have anything else in my life to do!
 
mods are not gods.
theyre human.
they make mistakes
yes, they should be liable for obeying the rules more
but they have their limits
they get pissed off
they have enough to put up with

quit bagging on them
they have enough shit to take care of

im amazed at the amount of douchebaggery on this forum
we are all expected to follow the rules
yet, when we break them
we get warnings
we get dozens of second chances
but when mods get blamed for doing their job
and slip up (because theyre so goddamned tired of all the complaining) even a tiny bit
you act like theyve just killed someone.
stop setting double standards

you warned me though.

you don't have to spend your entire time here, just act like an adult while you are here.

Yeah, I worded the warning pretty harshly. But the warning itself still stands. Was I suppose to let slide the fact you were doing your typical trash?
And the all time here comment was to psycoblaster, not you.

You viciously attacked me. I responded. I get warned.

Unfair.

no, you won't be able to do that. You're to serious about everything, even the smallest thread that should not have been turned out this way, and nobody would want you to be on gbatemp with your 100% effort anyways.

mods are not gods.
theyre human.
they make mistakes
mistakes, you say. Being short tempered isn't a mistake. Can't gai be like other mods? even though we rant about them, they don't blow up like you.
yes, they should be liable for obeying the rules more
but they have their limits

Only if they take more time to care for us than gbatemp itself.

quit bagging on them
they have enough shit to take care of
but this shit you are talking about is really the shit on gbatemp, not the actual stuff that requires moderation.

im amazed at the amount of douchebaggery on this forum
we are all expected to follow the rules
yet, when we break them
we get warnings
then gai should have a 50% warn by now. but he can't. he's perfect. he's a mod.
we get dozens of second chances
but when mods get blamed for doing their job
and slip up (because theyre so goddamned tired of all the complaining) even a tiny bit
you act like theyve just killed someone.

No, we are expecting more from them, rather than breaking the rules that they've made themselves. but this expectation causes them to flame. It's a shame.

Not meaning to sound rude or anything so if I come off that was then pardon me, but if it doesn't really concern you then you have nothing to worry about. :) If you ever do though toss me a word.
