A Total Disgrace

[DMG Incarnate]

I tried to post this earlier but I had no joy at all. By the way I am J-Max. I will not try to hide this as I am not a Coward. Right now all my Posts have to be Modded and that Irritates me. I can't post on my Render Topic, I can't post anything useful to the Forum just because of a Pathetic PERMANENT Addition to my Warning Level. Since when did Warnigns become Permanent? Well here's the Topic I was going to post happy reading.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I'm sorry but normally I wouldn't bring something like this up but you have to laugh.....

[align=center][align]

Seriously what the hell did I do wrong? If there was a End Date to this then yeah I wouldn't be bringing it up. I PM'ed Tea about this and no response as yet.

 

I know a Mod has final say in all Actions but what exactly did I do that was (Violating the Rules?) Was it my Rosalina Render? If so I can take it down. Was it my honest talk about Claire? Was it my opinions on Post Counts and Ratings? I'm not angry don't worry' date=' just a little curious.[/quote']

 

I will not back down until I know why I deserve this.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 

If it was a Warning that would end then I wouldn't be here right now. So you know what? If this hrts thr Reputation of the Mod Team then Good Riddance. Seriously I CANNOT Post. Sure there's a 50% Warning from Dj hat will be up in Hmmm 14 Hours but I know it will be right back. Enough of me rambling time to back off now.

[Guest JoshIcy]

I said on MSN. Wait and solve later, these rampant posts seriously lack merit when there are better options...

*notices which mod did this*

 

Not surprised at all.

 

You deserve to know why, and you should PM him on your regular account asking why, or MSN or whatever.

[DMG Incarnate]

I tried Static. But no Response as yet. It is proper Ticking me off. Why a Perma?

[Guest KAJN]

The warn count is old news, by now we shouldn't have them in any forum. And the rules are too strict in YCM. It's like they are punishing you for stealing a cookie.......... I mean seriously warning count's should not be on. Ehh........... oh well.

[Static]

Warns should only really be given out for the serious things, which probably deserve bans anyway like aggressive and direct Racism / Threats / Posting images that could ruin the innocence of any person on the forum / that sort of stuff. Whatever J Max did, if not one of those things, it probably isn't worth a warn anyway.

[J-Max]

If this happens to get through. I was warned due to a Topic I posted in TCG earlier

[RestLess-BoTics]

Uh, listen J-Max...

Aren't you taking this a little too seriously?

This is the internet, and stuff like this happens.

I'm on your side, here, and I understand that you have the right to question why you have received such warnings, but I would recommend that you would accept some stuff and move on.

I'm not trying to start an argument here, so please, don't flame me.

Good man being polite about that. +1

 

However, regardless of the fact that this is the internet, it is his right and ability to question the judgment of an "authority." (which Tea barely counts as anyway if you don't post in TCG)

A couple of weeks ago, I was playing a game of Mafia.

 

If you don't know how Mafia works, basically, you get a bunch of people, and have one person take the role of God (the game moderator). God designates a few of the people (randomly and in secret) to be Mafia and the rest of them to be Townies (usually one of the Townies is an Inspector).

 

The game is divided into Night Phases and Day Phases. During each Night Phase, everybody "goes to sleep" (shuts their eyes), and then (following God's instructions) the Mafia wakes up, chooses someone to kill, and goes to sleep. (The Inspector then wakes up and chooses someone to "inspect"; God tells the Inspector nonverbally whether the inspected player is a Mafia member or a Townie.) Then everybody wakes up, and God announces who died.

 

During the Day Phases, the surviving players, by the democratic method of pointing, shouting, and voting, choose somebody to kill in the hopes of killing a Mafia member. Once someone dies, God announces whether that person was a Mafia or a Townie, and everyone goes to sleep.

 

The goal of the Townies is to kill all the Mafia. The goal of the Mafia is to kill enough Townies so that there are more Mafia left than Townies.

 

Now, an interesting thing about math people is that [uNFAIR GENERALIZATION WARNING] they all like the same set of games. They all like Mao. they all like Egyptian Ratscrew. They all like Ultimate Frisbee. They all like Kemps. They all like Mafia. And since I was at a math camp, there were a lot of math people there, so we were able to get a good size Mafia game together...at two in the morning.

 

Now, since some people would consider that to be late, we agreed to set a time limit on each Day Phase so that we would spend an hour and a half on the first day. Naturally, since everybody loves arguing, the time ran out faster than one would expect (and, somehow, in exactly the amount of time one would expect), and all of a sudden the latest accusation was interrupted by God announcing that the day was over, randomly smiting one player (to substitute for the town's lack of a day-kill), and telling everyone to go to sleep.

 

The next day, as soon as everyone woke up, three people threatened to suicide out of the game if anyone else was smited by God. No, I don't care if "smited" isn't really a word.

 

So, that lead to a new loud argument, in which we analyzed the role of smiting in past games, and we concluded that, in the past, the threat of an impending smite was used to move the game along by God giving warnings of how much time remained. In this game, however, no warnings were given; the smite simply came out of nowhere. The problem was that the smite was used nonconstructively to truncate the day instead of constructively to encourage the townspeople to end the day quickly without actually needing a smite. In both cases, the smite still existed and had the same direct effect, but the addition of a little information from God changed its real influence on the game drastically.

 

Now, earlier, I mentioned a card game called Mao, so let's change topics with no transition or clear purpose at all. In case you don't know how to play Mao, it's sort of like UNO. That's the only rule that you can be told. The key feature of Mao is that one player, Mao, gives out penalties for rule violations, but never really explains what caused the rule to be violated. As he gives you the penalty card, he might say "Failure to sing a song", but why did you need to sing a song in the first place? Was it because the card you played was a prime number? Was it because it was a heart? Was it because the difference between the top two cards of the discard pile was less than three, or perhaps because their sum was exactly twelve? Or was it because a 3 was played three turns ago? You've presumably broken some sort of rule, and you're penalized for it, but you're not told what rule you broke or why what you did was a violation. Within the game, this is fun.

 

Also, in Kemps, which involves signaling to your partner to say "Kemps" when you have four-of-a-kind, my favourite signal - dubbed the "Paul Go" strategy - is to simply shout out your partner's name. It's a really obvious signal, but the theory is that your partner will react faster to their name than anyone else will, and thus will be able to say "Kemps" before anyone else says "Counterkemps". (The name comes from its original use, when one partner shouted "Paul, go!" to get Paul to call "Kemps".) This paragraph doesn't have anything to do with the topic at hand; I just felt like rambling a bit more.

Way to hit someone Crab ._.

[2sick4u]

Crab Helmet, figuratively speaking, just poised a wall directly in-front of all on-coming warn objectors.

 

Considering that, and ruling out all plausibility of corruption, J-Max, it's simple Forum ethics. Although the warning wasn't at all elaborated, it's not Tea.Leaf's responsibility to elaborate, rather, It's the job of Tea.Leaf to kill. Again, figuratively. Also, that is if I understood who represented what in Crab Helmets example.

 

Fact of the matter is, Tea.Leaf dished out the warning for an infraction of some sort.

 

I'm sure Tea.Leaf would target a more noobish member if the warning was unjust.

Thinking about it logically will help you alot more, which alot of members seem to neglect, make a thread about it, and try to lead a revolution, is the point I'm trying to make.

:|.

The more that I think about it, the seniors here should learn from the new.

The new cop it on the chin, turn around, and hope to stay on the forum they just grew attached to.

Seniors b*tch.

It's like:

"Oh noes. EVERYONE! I GOT A PLUS ONE ON MAH WARNING LEVELZ! BUT I'

That's over-reactant on my part, but it's the message the consistent threads about Mod-power seem to deliver.

Get over it.

:).

I'm sure that if Mod-corruption, on any level, were serious, or "A Total Disgrace.", there'd be more things happening than a +1.

Once again, try thinking logically for a change. =).

[DMG Incarnate]

I wasn't trying to start a Revolution it was merely the fact I recieved a Permanent Warning. Also the fact that it was for a Totally ridiculous cause. Just got a PM from Tea Leaf saying that it was for a Topic I posted in TCG Earlier. I saw nothing wrong with that Topic & Even Crab is backing me up on this (Thanks again Crabby)

Look up the third one.

 

The only total disgrace here is you.

[DMG Incarnate]

Excuse me? What kind of a Screwed up Rule is that? FFS. Seriously, things were so much easier & calmer before. I asked a question about Foolish Burial, Crab awnswerly quickly & Professionally. We are all not Drones you know. I had a question and wanted to Tap into the Knowledge of YCM for the awnswer. Meh I guess a Warning is a Warning. Fair Enough.

[Umbra]

Neither.

I guess that Crab hadn't noticed this particular rule. According to this rule, Crab should have locked the thread.

Or is the mighty DJ Osiris Immune to being Warned? I can't see his percentage if he even has one. People asked those questions. So what's so different about me eh? Is it because I am not a Mod?

This implies that there are exactly two kinds of Screwed up Rules.

 

Where does this number come from?

I did lock the thread...eventually.

 

Seriously, that's one of the only two boards that I moderate, and is the one I visit most frequently, and that rule doesn't look at all familiar to me. And I don't like it.

I believe that Super Mods are immune to being warned. I certainly can't warn him.

 

 

 

EDIT: The way Rule 3 is written, a question is only "stupid" if the Wiki, UDE's site, or Google can answer it. I've checked, and the Wiki and UDE's site don't answer the question, and a quick glance at Google doesn't reveal anything either, so I'm ruling the topic to be perfectly valid and revoking the warn.

 

Plus, permawarns for trivial matters are silly.

[HORUS]

Okay really? Penalizing someone for something as simple as making a thread to clarify card rulings or something?

 

Absolutely ridiculous.

 

And now, apparently warns are issued out if someone posts their deck without including the number of monsters, spells, and traps.

 

More ridiculous.

[Bakura Vessal]

I cant belive it

 

mods can do what they want and members cant WTF!!!!?

 

look its just stupid and if DMG doesnt get the warning away or if dj gets a warning i am just going to assume that almost all the mods are corrupt (excuding darth and crab)

I already revoked DMG's warning.

Really? This happened?

 

Link me to that. I need to revoke that too.

 

I mean, I put that rule in the rules topic, but not with the intention of people being penalized for it. I just put it there so that people could be told to add the numbers to the deck topic. Again, similar to the Mafia Smite scenario.

[Guest KAJN]

Pfft. This is the only word that describe warn counts. I mean really that's why GFXVoid and many other forums took the warn count off. Moderators cannot be warned by other moderators, seriously, I think this is the most stupid thing I've ever seen and heard. That's why 2007 was still better than 2008, that's why most of us have left, that's why legends left. Because of these new rules and etc.

[DMG Incarnate]

Thank you very much Crab :) Glad to know that you understand. TCG has seriously fell apart when you were gone, I hope you can sort things out and make it the fun place we all remember. And Horus. Wtf? You have to have the number of cards when making a Deck? It is only a small mistake and shouldn't be penalized.

[Guest]

And Horus. Wtf? You have to have the number of cards when making a Deck? It is only a small mistake and shouldn't be penalized.

 

I actually made that rule, but only for the purposes of being able to tell people to add the number of cards in each section (m/s/t) for the benefit of those viewing it; the rule wasn't made for punishing people. Again, the Mafia Smite.

[J-Max]

Well back as J-Max now. Thanks again Crab. Please fight for these Warning Rules, I think some of the Mods these days have serious Trigger Fingers. What happens about that Account now? I'm sorry to have had to create it....
