Nope. That wasn't even brought up. There was a discussion about hodj going Full Retard again, someone said something to the effect of "we might have to put him in timeout again" and Brahma thought that Hodjpocalypse 2016 was a go for launch.IMO, he was shawed for what he said about tarrant's marriage falling apart. I mean, we'd have to ask brahma to be sure, but I'd bet that was what did it.
Soy said something about it after the fact. Brahma wasn't sure what the precedent was. Hell, he's new, and he didn't even know that he had banned you...he thought he RRPed you.They're just salty and butthurt because they were deep underwater with nowhere else to go. Brahma's ban message was just "You need a timeout bro".
I can't read minds and don't care. Brahma probably isn't even aware the Ask A Mod thread is supposed to be moderation free.
That's true. Technically your ban was overturned too. So that's something.No one is supposed to be shawed or infracted in that thread. They do it anyway. Like when Tuco went full retard and started trying to ban any pictures of women not in full dresscloth from head to toe and in the process unjustly shawed you.
And we got that shit overturned because it was unjust and Tuco knew it.
I think the first person I tried to infraction after being modded I accidentally banned for a few minutes as well. Its not very clear the first time when you go to the interface. Its counter intuitive basically.That's true. Technically your ban was overturned too. So that's something.
Besides the fact that you've taken similar shots at Tarrant in the past, this is a complete misrepresentation. I don't "skim the carebear forum just for personal shit to throw in people's faces".I haven't checked the thread since yesterday, just now caught up. and no, even if I had cared about Hodj's latest warning sign for needing an anti-psychotic prescription, he lost me the moment he took that cheap shot at Tarrant. I may be a mean, spiteful, miserable jackass but even I won't stoop to that. It might be different if he actually participated in the carebear forums, but skimming through it just for personal shit to throw in someones face? Get fucked.
Yes.Was Lurkingdirk the guy who tried to claim taking his kids to church wasn't indoctrination? If not, whoever that dude was, definitely got fed his asshole over that whole thing.
The thing is, regardless of what went down between you three, Lurking and Tarrant didn't abuse their Mod power to end debate. They talked about it in AMOD but that as it. No one asked Brahma to swing the axe for them.My perception is that I made a perfectly true statement, Lurking did his opportunistic and worn out schtick and I slapped him for it, Tarrant jumped in, I slapped him for it. I never had a problem with Tarrant in the past. When I returned he suddenly turned on me and started attacking me. Only at that point did I begin fighting back against him. As I said to Soygen, my comment was entirely warranted based on our history and that is a history he started, not I. I don't think I'd ever said more than two words to or about Tarrant prior to his attacking me. If he can't stand the heat, he shouldn't come into the kitchen and start swinging knives around.
The problem with your 'defending yourself' is that it's the forum equivalent of the guy who built the Killdozer and went on a rampage trying to flatten his entire town over something relatively minor. That's always been the problem. You don't know when to quit and you somehow think that reacting by turning things up to 11 is going to somehow garner you support. At this point many of us Mods have seen you do this any number of times and we aren't willing to let you run rampant.My point about the Ask A Mod thread supposedly being unmoderated is about the hypocrisy of saying it is unmoderated, and then putting someone in the shaw for...defending themselves....against people who threw the first punches...
That's not ex post facto revisionism. From Day 1 Tuco was a proponent of Mods making subjective interpretations of the 'rules', and was willing to suffer a bunch of "TOO MANY MODS" attacks because he felt that we'd self regulate as a whole. Like I said, I considered reversing your infraction but once I saw you getting up a full head of steam I thought better of it.The fact that you all want to duck and dodge that was ex post facto revisionism "Well we can change all our own stated rules at any time for any reason we feel like" doesn't change the fact that the moderation staff moderates ham fistedly, and hypocritically. Not all of you, and not in every case. But in enough cases that it should matter.
This is just alternate universe stuff. I didn't say anyone sent Brahma to do their dirty work for them, or that mod powers were abused.The thing is, regardless of what went down between you three, Lurking and Tarrant didn't abuse their Mod power to end debate. They talked about it in AMOD but that as it. No one asked Brahma to swing the axe for them.
That's why its funny.The problem with your 'defending yourself' is that it's the forum equivalent of the guy who built the Killdozer and went on a rampage trying to flatten his entire town over something relatively minor.
Hodj's response was 1 minute after your post, and while I laughed at how he phrased it I felt it was accurate enough that I didn't need to make another post that said exactly the same thing. I figured that answered your question, but whatever.Funny how it's hodj and Hoss who ended up answering my question about the new mods in the mod thread. No irony there.
Thanks.
All the votes got shit canned, dirk and brahma got modded, democracy died, draegan decided that banning dindu was a worthwhile proposition, the shit circle continues unbroken.
Uh no, I was amused at how those who answered my question are the guys who can manage to get themselves banned in the mod thread of all places.Are you accusing us of being the 2 shadow mods?
I had no fucking idea George Michael was in Wham! My 80's knowledge is poor.
Hey, me too! Bros?I was shawed because I was basically destroying everyone who came at me and wasn't going to stop until they stopped.
