If insults are the order of the day, I'd rather be smug than petulant, which is how you lot come across.Sput wrote:Are you aware you're coming across as horribly smug, Bilky?
Putting this argument aside, it's no surprise that TV Forum seems to want to distance itself from Metropol as a forum in Neon. The moderation over there isn't perfect, but they take the job seriously. The moderation on TV Forum is criticised in this thread a lot, yet the moderation over here seems to consist of blocking members who you have a grudge against, and finding actual complaints a pain in the arse and something to ignore. Fair enough, the Upload Service is useful because of its integration, but its separate from the forum.
I would go on, but I doubt I'll get a serious response.
who? name them. because very few people have been booted off here and it takes a hell of a lot to manage it.bilky asko wrote:yet the moderation over here seems to consist of blocking members who you have a grudge against,

I'm not sure what naming them achieves, other than revealing an obsession with logging such things. I wasn't suggesting you had a huge amount to deal with, but I was saying that is the main focus of the moderation.Pete wrote:who? name them. because very few people have been booted off here and it takes a hell of a lot to manage it.bilky asko wrote:yet the moderation over here seems to consist of blocking members who you have a grudge against,
No, I'd like a serious response to what I've posted first. You've picked one point to respond to.Pete wrote:please do go onI would go on, but I doubt I'll get a serious response.
If you had a genuine complaint, maybe I, and others here would believe you.
But to me, the ChatPS clique (and I use that word decisively and with full understanding, by the way) just seem to be a bunch of narcissitic circlejerking sycophants whose desire for a 24/7 chat room to spout your attempts at neo-post-modern subversive "humour" belies your reliance on each other's validation of each others' foibles and insecurities.
You delude yourselves into believing that you are akin to the great satirists of our time, rising above the grey sludge of everyday homogeneity and a perceived hegemony to create an entity which creates that most elusive of fallacies: the promise of freedom. Yet the utopia you have spawned is merely another Alcatraz but with different guards on the gates, different meals and slightly different paint on the walls.
In truth, the ChatPS project has done nothing worthwhile except pevert the laudable concept of satire and pisstaking to dangerously mundane levels which neither interest nor stimulate others to engage with you on any level, whilst having the simultaneous effect of creating the very thing you now parrot as an accusation against others.
In short, you complain Metro is boring. But ChatPS is boring! The last time I was in there: endless screencaps of BidTV.... this is not 2003! You may have not evolved in 10 years, but I, and a lot of others have. I'm leaving TVF, true, but despite some headbutting with certain folk, I see no reason to flounce from Metro at this present juncture. It gives me no shame however to wish that perhaps it would be best if you saved yourself the ignominy of the button and retired gracefully (if possible) from slating something which you have happily exploited in the past for your own baser desires and netizen needs.
You carry on with your little chat room. Meanwhile we'll carry on with being cool.

I wouldn't go that far, but overall: hear hear! We may be assholes in your eyes, Bilky, but damnit: we're METROPOL assholes.Alexia wrote:Meanwhile we'll carry on with being cool.
Also Bilky: LOVING that you've done the classic strawman thing of levelling an accusation against metro mods with no evidence, then turned around and basically said "I'M NOT THE ONE ON TRIAL HERE" when asked for some.
Knight knight
It would achieve you giving an example of why the moderation here is so terrible and spiteful. In fact the vast majority of moderating on here consists ofbilky asko wrote:I'm not sure what naming them achieves, other than revealing an obsession with logging such things.

1. fixing nested quotes
2. deleting spambots that have slipped through the net
and that's it.
my use of it back then was used in parody of the old accusation often levelled at us.No, I'd like a serious response to what I've posted first. You've picked one point to respond to.

This is it, I think; the behavior from the "METROPOL assholes" smacks of a clique (who have for years dominated/controlled/subverted a community) reacting to what they see as a threat.
