No, he's a piss bucket heel.It must be understood that WMD may be a heel, but he is a logical heel.
I take it this is your concession speech?I understand that this argument is going nowhere, and to continue it would be childish and a waste of everybody’s time.
No one has stopped you from doing so.While I don’t think WZ is a democracy, I do think I should be able to state my beliefs even if no one agrees.
No you don't. You just say that because it's easy to say without actually backing up.Sly and Crashing make some logical points, which on the surface seem right, but I find them flawed.
This I will agree with. You'll do nothing but continue to get your ass kicked in this debate.Sly is the judge and jury here, so my points fall on deaf ears. Why continue? Why waste my time?
You moron, we could easily have 50,000 members if I didn't go through every three to six months and delete members who haven't logged in or posted their first post for a certain amount of time. We'd probably be over 100,000 members.So if my point in these threads is anything, it is I am challenging Sly to do better. Don’t be complacent because we have 22,000 members, shoot for 50,000. There is so much potential
But you're not giving constructive criticism, you're just criticizing. You made one suggestion, which even you can't defend when it was shown why it wasn't a reasonable suggestion. When you give only one suggestion, and then whine pointlessly for several posts after, that's not constructive criticism.But I think the bottom line right now is to take the constructive criticism and use that to build forward.
How so? How would you lessen the rules?How would I improve WZ in a brief statement; would be too lax the rules.
So you allow discretion for people you know, but not people you don't know? Or do we allow discretion every time, and not really expect anyone to follow any of the rules? If so, what's the point of even having rules? Let's just let everybody do whatever the hell they want to do.To be honest I barely knew Sully or paid attention to him. But here was this kid who had no family and looked at most of you guys as true friends. He was on here religiously and loved WZ, then one mistake, and he’s gone for life. Hardly seems fair to me. So one way I would improve the forum would be not to follow the black letters of every rule and allow some discretion.
Sully didn't make just one mistake. Sully had a Prison sentence before. He made alts while in Prison. Sully earned his way out, then acted like a dumbass and earned his banning. This wasn't a case where he made one mistake, it was where he made several and didn't learn from them.
The idea you would play favorites for those names you know and/or like shows you wouldn't be a very good leader.
It's bullshit. You have no idea the bullshit we put up with from people who don't understand posting just a smiley face doesn't contribute to the forums. We do our best to apply the rules equally and fairly to everyone, and we do our best to make sure the rules are as black and white as possible, to avoid any confusion on them. For fuck's sake, we even try to give a couple of Spam Warnings before we start handing out Infractions, because we understand our spam rules are different from other forums.If either of you three or anyone else wants to discuss this, I have no problem doing it. Call me out and say this is bullshit, or say I see your points, but I disagree with this and so on.
Anything here sound unreasonable?
You're talking out of your ass. You don't know what your talking about, and the more you talk, the more ridiculous you sound. If you want to make a reasonable suggestion then do so, but I suggest you think long and hard about your suggestion, examine it from all angles, list the pros and cons, figure out the value it might add to the forum (or not) and then make a final decision of whether or not you should even take the time to suggest it.
Because you've now made two suggestions to change the forum, one of which is utter shit, and the second which implies favoritism to certain posters.
This made my day. I'm happy for you.
Good thing we have rules here to keep a nice kid like that from posting here.
And it's a good thing the Staff fairly applies those rules and doesn't ban people for simply disagreeing with them, like they do on other forums. You know, because on many forums, you would have been banned long ago.
But no, really, keep making snide comments directed towards the Staff, while simultaneously sending me PMs begging to let you back into the Bar Room. After all, it's well known vinegar is the best way to catch flies.
