I feel I have to respond to some of the points made since my last post to clear things up - after all, Nek tells me that issues are only buried once everyone reaches an answer they're satisfied with
Not at all! Yes, I'm on more than the others. But you can't blame them for that - Dav's on holiday, Fling's got his own sites and wildcard's got a lot on. We admin don't have a "strategy" for tackling forum members, posts or complaints - we deal with each issue as it happens.
Though just a note - I made a *mistake* here, and you jumped to the hypothesis that I was an "attack dog". How did you reach this hypothesis? You said to me yourself that I'm not very experienced as an administrator and so would make mistakes...
I do have the ability to sum up a person from very limited evidence, yes. I don't regret my stance on the issue mentioned, and my concerns are well documented in the admin forum. And needless to say... but that's not the point of this thread.
Yes I did, but many posts here only repeated what the last person said. I was surprised at the vehement (sp?) reaction to one post...
But spam in your signature is allowed. Do some research before you attack others. Nobody else has a problem with this...
Well, this only proves some people never change... it would seem that your opinion of me haven't improved in your absence. You want me to take the hard line, but don't want me to remove spam? Hmmm...
Oh, and as for the rights? Well now, I'm sure the right to free speech is a wonderful thing, but nobody here tolerates racism now, do they? I'm sure everybody here would agree should admins warn someone for posting hateful, vulgar things, but under your view that sort of stuff should be allowed because of "free speech"? It's a hard job working out where "free speech" ends and other rights begin - notably that people have the right not to be discriminated against because of their opinions etc.
Hopefully this clears up some points. If you're happy, move on to the next thread. If not, post away.

Quote:Beleive or not their are people who can spot certain subtle things about people personality and I think oracle may well be one(I also have this ability to an extent).

Quote:And in my opinion Oracle deserved the jumps and flames. He did do wrong after all. Doesent matter if he's a good admin or not, he did wrong. Period.

Quote:You know what I think? Your signature is the most vile form of spam, worse than the penis enlargement emails I get on my email. I think of nothing more annoying than that kind of signature. In fact, most signatures here are classified as spam.

Quote:Oh btw, the thing about the rules following the Human Declaration of Rights? Isn't free speech one of those?
And please, spare me the line by line quote thing...it takes ages to load and its just a waste of space.
