I've made it clear to both IDF and DPUO, probably over a dozen times to leave my threads alone and not even post in them as I have them both on ignore and I don't want them involved in anything that I start. They both persist on going into my threads and basically what it amounts to is clutter that isn't wanted. Can somebody please tell them that my dozens of requests for them to leave me alone mean just that, "leave alone".

Thank you.

Still he persists, he says he will stay out, but his previous history has shown that even when he agrees to leave me alone, he comes right back in. Somebody needs to tell him "Out means out", and "No means no", and "You stay out, means you stay out".

Thank you.


Added: I'm not sure, but I think that IDF has already been officially warned to stay away from my threads.

And someone needs to tell you that you have no ability to rule me and that I can go where I want and say what I want; after all, you seem to be convinced it's your right to spread Right-Wing propaganda about on the General forum, what makes it not my right to make a post addressing the LOEL as a whole, not you (as a matter of fact the only point at which you were mentioned was when I informed them that I have no issue with them)? What makes it your right, in addition, to simply whine to a moderator any time something doesn't go your way? "Oh, they're starting a war with me and I don't like it." "Oh, they won't leave me alone, please help me." "Oh, I don't like having my views countered, please don't let them express them."

You might also wish to note that I have agreed to leave. Though I doubt that much matters to you, since after all, I had the temerity to point out that what you're doing is destabilising and stupid.

You've been told to leave someone alone, just do it. Ok?

I agree that DPUO should leave DA alone, but I insist that he be allowed to enter DA's threads. He may talk to other members of the thread but not DA. I dont see how this would affect or Threaten DA in the least,

Um, no. The mods have said time-and-time again that the thread author has the right to allow or disallow whoever they want within their threads; therefore, entering them can amount to flamebait if they've expressed you not to entire a particular thread.

THis is one of the reasons I wish we had here what the Gaiaonline.com forums have, the person who started the thread can delete any posts that they want from their threads, it keeps a lot of problems like this from happenng.
if it were possible here it would also be useful, although I would suggest only alowing it in General and the RP forum.

However, I can see it being abused by many General forum posters.

Aye, the rights of thread starters only apply to Role Play; and not threads in General.

I've seen the moderators grant the "rights of threat starters" to General, too, as I've had to use it previously to keep a debate on track.

Deleting unwanted posts can be so much fun. I foresee a whole lot of postwhores deleting posts of opposing postwhores, just to keep their postcount low http://www.mig81.com/carinthe/images/smiles/003.gif :sniper:

People banning their opponents left right and centre, and there's certain posters who I suspect would find it highly amusing to ban everyone else from posting on a thread.

There's a difference between asking people to leave your thread because they're spamming/flaming/off topic and telling someone you disagree with to leave the thread because it's "yours".

Not passing judgement on the situation this thread refers to; just a blanket statement here.

Aye, General is a forum for discussion and debate. Not much point discussing and debating if the creator of the thread can use us to censor opinions they don't like.

I made this ruling a long time ago. Only in RP threads can you have "invite" only. On the General forums you open a thread on a topic , expect other people to have an opinion, you can't expect in General to only have people in your thread to which you agree and or approve of. Sorry, no invite only threads are allowed in General.

I agree that an invite feature is not such a good idea in the general forum, but a player that seems to be harrassing an individual, could have a MOD decide if action needs to be warranted for action. It seems that a warning has been given, and it would be up to a MOD to decide what action is to be taken if this continues. Hard rules sometimes need to be made when it comes to obvious harrassment by one player towards another. We've all been harrassed from time to time and if MOD action is needed, then level both barrels. I'm glad I will never be a MOD here, I'd hate to restrict anyone's access, if that's what it takes.
