A lively forum is always better than a dead forum.
I wonder if a mourning thread for Gb would be appropriate?

I had thought all the posters knew you couldn't post anything from a moderator in a Public Forum. There is a chance he didn't know, why not give him the benefit of the doubt?
Ever since you came on here you have been throwing potshots at him, and myself...Which leads me and others to a lot of questions, none of which can be asked in a public forum unfortunately.

Originally posted by Very Rustythe post was up for quite a while before it got deleted. the message from the mod was very clear and gave the exact thread that got him into trouble and the reason why it was unacceptable. furthermore, he had apparently been warned for similar practices before, as he had been warned about posting the text of mod PMs.

actually, in both cases, i started by offering some friendly advice - in both cases, why it was that you guys seemed to annoy so many people - GB because of his interminable attention seeking and incoherent ramblings, and you because you were so uptight and alerting everything in sight.

What people do you think we annoy? The little group that you have worked so hard to become a part off? It is very unusual for a new person to come in and start in on two posters who they have never seen before.... If it looks like a fish, smells like fish, you cook it and it tastes like a fish, there is a really good chance it is Fish!
You Sir, would have no idea what I alert and don't alert. Are you telling me now that the Mods tell you who alerts what? I would find that highly unusual and not to be the case...because I say something was alerted doesn't mean I actually alerted it. I have been known to alert bad language, name calling, instigating, inciting, etc., and see no reason to change that.

i'm not that new, for a start. i joined last year, and just because i didn't start posting until a couple of months ago, doesn't mean i didn't read here. actually, i started posting in the chess and culture forums for a while before i started posting in GF (against my better judgement, i might add).
secondly, it was easy to observe the number of posts complaining about you guys, and to pick out what the underlying themes were. i simply pointed these out to you and GB. go back and read my initial posts to you both, and you'll see it is true.
ok, you were being criticised for overzealous alerting based on the number of times you posted 'POST ALERTED'. of course i don't know if you really alerted all those posts, but you can hardly complain if you are criticised based on your own claims of what you did.

Originally posted by BlackampKeep in mind, what I alert is all in TOS, that is why I told you to read it carefully. It appears to me you saw who the little clique didn't get along with, and you jumped on board. You will not be the first or the last to do so.

You also will not dictate what GB or myself type in the forums. You begin to look like a bully after awhile, and a stalker. Phlabby mentioned in another thread that I was snide or making personal attacks in 14 of 15 posts....I know what posts he is refering to, was the back and forth banter with you. (No, mention of what you were doing)
I see now that on your part, it actually is a personal attack, so instead of the back and forth banter. I will initiate a different tactic in dealing with you. I will not play your little game with you, now that I know what you are up to.
The 'POST ALERTED', were all done on the same day and probably 8 times or so, you only bring that up, because CFT had brought it up. I was asked to stop, and did as requested. It looks like you were on a mission right from the start. Did we know each other before, perhaps somwhere else? Not that you would say, but worth a shot!

ok, i tried to reason with you, but you just went all incoherent on me.
i guess you're just upset because your boy got banned (again).
incidentally, i've never tried to dictate what anybody posts. BUT, i'm within my rights to comment on what has been posted by others, including being critical. you need to think about the difference between criticism and abuse. not understanding that difference is a sign of immaturity.

Name Calling such as MORON etc., you know the ones you use, is not criticism it is "ABUSE", lets make no mistake about that. And not understanding that is certainly very immature, we can agree on that part of your statement.
THE END!
