The latest lovely poster to irk me. Here’s our Private Message Correspondance:
[quote author=“KTI”]
[quote author=“Auron”]
PLease re-read the posters original post. He is asking information on specific games.


You need to seek some serious professional help. Worry about what matters. There’s nothing wrong with person A asking for advice about a certain game and person B saying “Hey I liked that game too. If you liked that, you’ll love this.”

Get a job or do something constructive. You’ve got way too much time being a ‘stay on target forum dictator”.

[quote author=“Auron”]
4 points:

1. There’s no need to insult me, that’s way out of line. And I have a job thanks.

2. I’m trying to stop people from hyjacking the thread, and instead answering the poor posters question. I also did it quite civily and I do NOT appreciate being insulted for no reason.

3. I never said “Don’t post stuff about other games” I said “That’s not what the poster is asking for.

4. Don’t tell me how to do my job.I’ve been a forum mod for quite some time and know what I’m doing. I’m trying to keep the forums clean, and trying to make sure peoples questions are answered. I never did this meanly, or in an uncivilized in this thread, and I’m shocked you found a reason to respond in this way.

[quote author=“KTI”]The fact is, you’re slapping people’s hands for no reason and that’s what I called you on. The poster that I was taking the defence for was simply giving a friendly opinion and stating that if he liked game A then logically, he’ll like game B. If you’re going to chide people for that, then you don’t need to be a mod. Congrats.


[quote author=“Auron”]What is your problem man? I said it was a SUGGESTION. I’m not throwing mod power around or “slapping people on the wrist”. Chill out.

[quote author=“KTI”]The dude simply said:

I would try Bloodrayne
http://www.aspyr.com/games.php/mac/br/

Then you said

I believe he’s asking for opinions on the specified games, not for suggestions of other similar games he may enjoy.

Why make a fuss over it at all?  Why give this guy slack?  Why mention it at all?  It doesn’t hurt the topic in the least little way.  If anything, it helps it progress.

He then responded

Well i gave him something he was not asking for big stinkin deal.
I thought he might like another suggestion why don’t you let him decide?

I stress the part about letting the person decide what is and isn’t relevant and not a moderator.  You’re there to keep peace, not comment about how ‘relevant’ you think something is or isn’t.  That’s why we’re having these messages back and forth.  Don’t abuse your privilages.

I’ve said my piece, you’ve said yours.  You thought you were helping in saying that something isn’t relevant and I said that your moderation wasn’t relevant.  Now you can stop messaging me and we can get on with the gaming.


[quote author=“Auron”]One final point, how is a suggestion moderation or abuse of moderation?

thank you.

[quote author=“KTI”]Was that supposed to be a question? A statement? Are you on drugs? Didn’t you see me say to stop messaging me? Do you want trouble? Do yourself a favor and f**k off.

[quote author=“Auron”]Insulting people is not appreciated or allowed here. I don’t appreciate being told “are you on drugs?” when I’m simply trying to discuss an issue. Consider this your final warning.

All this for trying to keep Prometheus on topic? I didn’t do any “Moderation” just made a bloody suggestion that the original poster is looking for other information.  I give up with these bloody people…..

I’ve seen a few example of this, but not that often, and most actually listened to reason.

But… nevah again!!!!

Damn, I feel free.

And tired…

...I need some sleep, for Bork’s sake.

Wow, why would someone recommend Bloodrayne. It didn’t even run on my G5.

Speaking of disgruntled Aspyr employees whining about how they would have to explain to people why BR wouldn’t work on their new Dual 2.0 G5, has anyone invited Rick?

I believe he’s here, under the guise of “Agent”

Yeah. And a small penis. I hate when people try to talk back to a mod when they really have no point.

Seems KTI is just another n00b. I trust with a little discipline, you’ll straighten him out, Mike. Even if it means a bit of smackdown.  rolleyes

Thankfully that won’t be happening here… and if it does, who’s to say a band isn’t required?
