I still have access to the Mod Staff Super Forum. Here's a nice quote from me in there after I came back, got re-modded and realised the userbase of the forums had changed a lot.
Quote:
I'm sick and tired of the people here complaining about EVERYTHING.
YOU BANNED TROLL RATING, WAH
YOU BANNED SOME MEMBER, WAH
THIS SIG IS OFFENSIVE, WAH
YOU TOOK MY SIG AWAY, WAH
If people don't get their way, they have a cry about it and then take it out on the mods and we're not allowed to do anything because if we do, the whole damn thing escalates and gets much much worse.
This forum doesn't operate right at all. The members run it, not us. What the hell is wrong here?
Man I went on a super rant

I'm so ****ing sick of this.
I get 50 reports saying "change Ashura's sig" so rather than change it for him, I PM him asking him nicely to change it and instead I get back "OH THE MEMBERS CONTROL THE MODS, THANKS FOR PROVING THAT TO ME"
Meanwhile i've got Mrs. A telling me how to do my job and saying "you had no right to close that Kritter topic other than you're a crap mod" despite the fact it'd turned into a big "lets blame Kritter for MFGG's current crapness" despite me saying time and time again for people to PM me if they have an issue.
Meanwhile i've got everyone else kicking up a stink because I closed topics that others reported a million times and topics that were just not necessary in the first place. People PM me to close them, so I review the topic, close it, and the SAME ****ing PEOPLE tell me I shouldn't have closed it? WHAT THE f***
This forum needs half the users wiped off the boards I swear because they're so damn out of control!

Tri: You're saying that the members currently 'run' the forum and I'm agreeing with you, so I'm proposing that we become more imposing in response to people thinking that bypassing the rules is cute and won't get them banned.
Kritter: That won't work because then, like me, you'll just end up with 50 PM's in your inbox about people complaining that you're being too serious with the rules and being too hard on everyone etc etc, only said in a much nastier way.

And we can't do anything to curb it as i've found out with troll ratings. When I posted that news topic, 9/10 people were fine with it but suddenly now EVERYONE's against it and i'm being hounded by people like Mrs. A, Zash and Joey posting that "No fun" image at me like troll rating was their source of fun and I took it away.
I'm sick of "u mad", reaction images, "co0l story bro" and all that too but we can't try and curb it here because these people would go insane.
Man people hated me for taking away their troll ratings and letting them say snarky things to every member who came their way. I was still right about it though.

I want it known that decisions that're made here are a UNANIMOUS admin and mod decision for the most part. I don't think anyone here thinks I was wrong for wanting to curb the troll ratings, and I even asked before posting. I'm just tired that i'm the one copping all the backlash becuase I was the one who posted the topic.
Quote:
I probably shouldn't post it though, everytime I come up with an idea to help this place it backfires and ends up with me being a target XD
I was only trying to help, guys!

How about we make a topic asking THEM for their ideas for what would improve this forum? Let 'em get it off their chest, but keep the topic moderated so that they don't argue with each others ideas, delete posts that're just arguments etc, becase all we're doing right now is arguing.
You poor, naive fool.

It shouldn't be my responsibility though, I don't wanna be the one who comes off as being hard on people, i'd rather everyone had the same set of rules. Why have rules at all if we don't all follow the same set?
Somewhere the rules became too lax and we became too scared to enforce them.

I will personally wipe the smirk off the next person that trolls Kritter, and it won't be with a red ! box.
Those were some volatile times. It's fun to go back and see just how things were back then. MFGG has changed a LOT since those days, I feel like the community as a whole has grown up and matured quite a lot since then.
