Beeker, you dont consider a forum-ban to be a warning? What about all the other times since that ban when you were warned many times by many different Mods?

Apparently you dont understand the concept of a warning. It's a one time get out of jail free. You expect to just be warned forever, and nothing else ever happening? Be a little more realistic. You continue to flame after being forum-banned and warned, and you expect to just be warned yet again? How many chances to you expect to get? You've been given far more than the average player, and yet you still ask for "just one more"?!

Beeker will not be resurrected. And if you'd like to keep your puppets from being deleted, I suggest you refrain from flaming/trolling in the forums.


ON a side note, I find it somewhat humorous that you find it ok to flame a player for spamming the forums...not that you've ever spammed the forums...

Neut...this is not entirely true...I havn't been warned or TMed since my forum ban...never in an official way anyway...what exactly did I do tonight?

I am sorry Neut...I will be the first to hold my hand up and say I walk the tightrope...but to be deleted because I took offence at some spammer...and not even flaming him in a really bad way...

I really hope we can resolve this...you know as well as I do...that I am not a bad person...Just give me a break here eh? :?

I am being reasonable. I'm continuing to allow you to use your puppet. If I were being unreasonable, you would have your IP banned from the forums.


DO NOT think you can weasel "Beeker" back. It wont happen.

Neutered Sputniks

No, Danya, that was a statement of fact, not trolling nor flamebait, and was in response to Beeker's attempts to claim that we are similar.

For my part, I did not witness the incident in question, but based on past form, I am sad to say Beeker ignored the advice of his fellow players, not just that of the Mods.

I'd like to see the offending posts too. I really think that when mods delete a prominent player, they should post a thread explaining the deletion, with links to some of flaming/spamming/whatever that got the player deleted. That would spare the mods a lot of the "Why was so-and-so deleted?" threads, and avoid the ill-will and mistrust that come with these unexplained deletions.

The mods don't have to prove ANYTHING to you, this isn't a democracy where everyone has to review the evidence and vote on if the deletion was justified.

They deleted him for what they thought was too much, that's all there is to it.

You're right, the mods aren't obligated to prove anything. But if they're interested in keeping the trust and respect of the players, they probably should give an explanation when they delete well-known players without an obvious reason. A few links to Beeker's flaming would be a far more convincing case against him than repeated assertions that he was flaming. Unfortunately, I've seen this happen multiple times--a player is deleted for flaming, but no one ever posts links to the flames, leading other players to conclude that the deletion was done on a whim.
Neutered Sputniks
29-09-2003, 06:11
I did post a link. Or is that the wrong link?


The thread that was the last straw was the one in which Beeker created a poll asking how stupid another player is/was. His previous forum ban was indeed a warning, as were the many, many times he was told by Mods to quit flaming/trolling. But I guess those dont count as warnings?

Perhaps you forgot that you'd been warned to not flame qutie a few times, for quite a long while. I suppose that doesnt matter because it's you?

A flame is a flame - regardless of why you flamed, you did, and in doing so earned your deletion.

Beeker, if we didnt think some of what you bring to the forums is good, you would have been IP banned from the forums. Just take this and move on. You flamed many MANY times, you were thus rightly deleted. Learn from your mistakes, and dont let it happen again.

Why do people have to latch onto a subject and spam about it? The Pacific, various deletions... it's really just annoying.

Neut has said it innumerable times, Beek: you were warned. Often. You chose to act irresponsibly anyway, and were deleted for it. If you can't grasp the correlation between that cause and this effect, then why did you agree to the rules when you made your nation. You did agree to them, you know. Now I'll stop before I start flaming.

A general piece of advice: Calm down.

I read the whole thread. I missed it. I apologize most thoroughly and assuredly for my nearsightedness. I'll be sure to get it corrected just as soon as I can afford laser corrective surgery.

Thanks for point me in the right direction, though.

Is it frustrating to you and the other mods that so many people second guess your decisions?

I understand completely if it is. It's also something that is going to continue, I'm afraid. It's human nature.

I for one am deeply troubled by the amount of racism you allow to continue on these forums. This is my opinion. I'm not in the least shy about sharing it. And yes, I constantly question why it's allowed. Racism IS offensive. WHat Beeker posted was just dumb. WHy mods delete him for a dumb post, but allow offensive posts to proliferate is beyond me.

Seems like a double standard to me.

:?

We would prefer for politically controversial stuff to be debated rather than censored. If someone posts something racist, then challenge them to a logical debate. I would debate them myself if I had enough free time. However, I don't have the time to thoroughly research the subject and prepare adequate logical arguments to properly refute the arguments of racists. If someone who did have time for that would debate the racists, that would, in my personal unofficial opinion, be a good thing.

Controversial topics will generally be tolerated as long as no personal insults are thrown around (though we are talking about a very gray area very close to the borderline, here).

If you look carefully, you'll probably notice that posts that are both racist and personally insulting of specific players are not tolerated; not because they're racist, but because they're insulting specific players. If you see such a post that you think we missed, let us know.

Beeker posted a topic that trolled a specific player. That was, to us mods, clearly beyond the gray area, clearly beyond the borderline.

It steals your date, and thus removes your postcount making you seem like a noob.

If it's no big deal, then why were there countless threads? Why all the bitching, and whining, etc.? Why the attempts at groveling for the Mod's mercy?

I can't believe this person hasn't given up yet. It's good to see Neutered Sputniks sticking by his ruling. We've all been victims of flaming at one time or another. It's not a good feeling. Especially when you haven't done anything to deserve it.

Oh, contraire Mr. Beeks. I have been folowing this topic closely for many hours now. I just think Neutered Sputniks did the right thing here. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy your posts. They're mildly amusing most times. But rules are rules, and flaming is flaming.

No, Danya, that was a statement of fact, not trolling nor flamebait, and was in response to Beeker's attempts to claim that we are similar.

So when I call Spoffin a snitch or a wanker, that too, is a statement of fact. What makes you so special, hmmmm?

I very seriously doubt that you care about how much somebody masturbates, so calling someone a wanker is nothing more than an insult and a flame.

B) The person who I flamed 'Spitting Monkey Balls' is a persistant spammer who is hated by everyone and who completely deserved it



The part in italics, above, is a direct insult; it is flaming. This is an official warning.

so please...[i]before mouthing off in future...try to keep up with what is going on :roll:



The part in italics is definitely flamebait. The entire sentence may be flamebait, though I'm not sure. Again, this is an official warning.

You were deleted for this behavior in the past; remember that.

It doesn't matter if someone [i]deserves to be flamed or not; flaming and flamebaiting are against the rules under all circumstances.

Hang on a minute Cog?

Am I not even allowed to argue the toss anymore??

Or has the leash been pulled alot tighter when it comes to me??

I've just been given two warnings for a harmless post defending my viewpoint...this is a joke :?

Oh yeah...and Spitting Monkey Balls is his actual name...so you take one of those warnings back :wink:

Everyone can argue the toss without flaming, including you.

Your manner of joking is what got you into trouble.

There is no nation by the name of "Spitting Monkey Balls" (though I suspect that you were joking about this being his actual name, just now.) If I find that there was such a nation and a Game Mod deleted it, I will retract the flame warning.

The warning on flamebaiting stands.

Beekers ban was just and fair.

He flamed me. :(

It...hurt my feelings. :cry:

This appears to be in direct contradiction you your own post on flaming in the thread, "Why is flaming bad?", link above.

'Spitting Monkey Brains' the cause of not only my deletion...
One of the main posts you should recognize Beeks, is that you are ultimately responsible for your actions. Even if someone does flame you, you're not supposed to flame back.
The flaming that got you in trouble was done by you of your own free will. No one can force you to flame, you do have the option to turn the other cheek.

(That Pablo the squirrel thread of yours was pretty funny.)

Well, aside from the fact that what I care or think about is none of your business, you forgot to address the issue of calling someone a snitch.

Actually, you'll recall I didn't make any serious complaint about being called a snitch. I was referring to you calling me a wanker. Without some sort of webcam or similar device in my bedroom, I severely doubt if you could know anything about my self-abuse habits or lack therof.

I've given this some thought, and I acknowledge that it's an easy mistake to make; I'll retract the warning on flaming.

The earlier warning on flamebait still stands.

To everyone else: I will not be happy if anyone tries to use this as an excuse to "accidentally" flame someone and get away with it.

If someone posts something racist, then challenge them to a logical debate.

If someone who did have time for that would debate the racists, that would, in my personal unofficial opinion, be a good thing.

Are they looking for debate? I wonder about that myself. :?

Very true. Satan seems to view rules as thing you shouldn't get caught breaking, not things which you shouldn't break.
