Moderators?

Marathon Revived
29-10-2007, 23:17
The Proud Nation of Marathon was the most important nation in the history of NS. He hated everything equally and in doing so became very popular, and back when NS was young, in 2002 the World was split between anti- and Pro- marathon camps. It was later deleted by moderators because of private feuds between one of the Moderators and Marathon itself. Marathon lived on as a kinda occult figure in the senor nations that have been around since it was, aka 2003.

Now Marathon has returned and the MODERATORS have tried to cover it up and have LOCKED FOR NO REASON the post called MARATHON RETURNS and locked its accompanying poll.

This is one of many instances illuminating the Fact Moderators wield two much power! Who is with me when I say we should restore marathon and the moderators need to get a life!!!

Who is with me on saying that this thread is a copmplete imitation of the first and will result in a lockage and probably a deletion this time around?

Get a life man. Just because you hate the mods doesn't mean you should spam II with these crappy threads.

So you were banned for hating everything? (assuming you're Marathon...?)

Even now people are banned for hating Jews, blacks, gays, etc. We're generally a tolerant forum. You might want to post more on General than II, though.

Maybe the Mods should use their mod powers to edit the poll and add a Myrth option... =P

Only pretentious assholes refer to themselves in third person all the time.

Sounds like you were deleted for being a dick, get over it. I doubt anyone here is going to be like "Yeah! No more mods!"

For the most part, they do a good job. If you want to act like a total asshole to everybody with no consequences, you can always go to 4chan.

Firstly, I'd like to mention that were there a desire on the part of the Moderation staff to "cover up" the existence of Marathon, your nation could easily have been deleted and your posts removed permanently from the forum.

Secondly, I suspect that your posts here are indicative of the fact that it is hardly the Moderation staff that has no life.

Thirdly, I've moved this thread to General. That will be punishment enough for your repeated nonsense at present, and it's a better forum to discuss the issue than II is, certainly.

It'll be interesting to see how he fares in the current incarnation of NS. I'm betting on "eaten alive" or "utterly stymied by actual logic".


There will be no "Myrth" option. Quit asking, please.

I was a Generalite when I originally joined NS, and I'm still a Generalite. I am quite proud of our intellectually and sarcastically cannibalistic heritage.

Thats funny, I dont remember being in any camp. I dont even remember anybody named 'marathon' although I may have forgotten it in the vast sea of various persons I've interacted with. I remember ol' Xerox though. Possibly the first guy on NS to nuke HIMSELF out of existance. I think he got banned later for being a sort of proto-Hataria though.
I think Mr. Marathon just has ego issues myself. He is kinda funny though. His level of arrogance and conspiracy-mongering remind me of good ol' TRA.

You know, someday one of us should do a poll and find out how many of us (and I bet it would be a LOT) have managed to exist around here, have our say, make our jokes, debate, argue, fuss and disagree, all without ever having to be banned, or warned or anything and STILL enjoy the place.

I guess we hear less about that than the folks who insist on not getting along. It's that whole squeaky wheel thing, I suppose.

Well, sorta. I have a pretty good idea of what the forums were like five years ago, and I have a pretty good idea of what they're like now, and I can tell you that 2002's big-shot is today's n00b if he hasn't stuck around and adapted. This is '07 and arrogance and random hatred gets you nada from the experienced players. Or as a certain monthly publication would put it, Maddox is reduced to 'Tired'.

I am, of course, generalising broadly. This probably applies only to a very small number of players. (i.e. Marathon, Beeker) But generalisations are FUN!

Blah, blah blah blah.... sounds like egotism; pure narcissism at work here. Tripe is all this is, pure tripe. Why not just play a scratch CD; the effect would be the same.

Who honestly cares who you are? So you have a cult following. Myrth has a bigger one. He has the higher honour of having been a poll option, something your reputation hasn't afforded you. That should tell you something.

Frankly, I'm... amused to see that the mods are being lenient. If they truly too much power, they could have shut down your blood soap box and turn it into ash before you could blink. They're being far too charitable for someone with a chip on their shoulder; a vendetta.

And to think you were deleted back when the mods pretty much ran this place about two shorts shy of full blown anarchy compared to the bloody KGB infested psychotic dictatorship we have now.

Hey, guess what. Your last thread was locked. And guess what? It's getting locked again. Why?

It's pointless. Don't do it again. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your poll options, btw. Not bias, whatsoever. ;)
