No J-Max.....no.......NOOOOO

SxR's so cute. All they do is complain about how YCM's a power struggle since they dun' have power.

 

YCM's not to shabby atm. Many members have a great time. Name 1 incompetent mod on here. Be specific. Explain you answer. Show steps as to how you arrived at your answer. Draw diagrams.

 

Bloodrun and Sushi. If you can't see how they failed to do their job then your seriously behind your shots.

 

This is totally completely off topic:

 

Look at the creator of this thread's user name. Am I the only one who thinks his name looks like "Stupid.c***" at first glance?

 

I swear that ALWAYS happens to me >.>

 

Glasstin10 for moderator.

 

Glasstonism anyone?

 

Now Now Dont go all moany people. This site has changed for the worse tho' date=' i have to admit. Its nothing like it was, to me, back in my golden era around dec07-april08.

 

[b']I agree, it was amazing up to April-May of this year. Then it got flooded with mopy whiny people lead by the likes of Clariex and the joining of such noble creatures like Willeh and 2sick4u didn't improve the place a lot.[/b]

Btw, Which Moderator demoted Tea?

 

And i read somewhere in the thread...

 

'And as far as mods go:

I was really dissapointed when they assigned the new mods and didn't pick Glasstin10. He's contributed more to this site than a lot of the mods put together. Not all of the mods, just ... a lot.'

 

 

He, is the correct word. We Moderators give names of who we want, and YCMaker looks at who we choose and says a simple yes or no, he doesnt give us reasons for his choices. He is silent as always.

 

You do mean Falling Pizza right? As far as I know it was him who randomly made supers.

 

Many of us, including myself and bloodrun, named Glasstin, however nothing became of it...

 

At the end of the day, us Moderators dont really get a say in things like that.

 

Then explain how the likes of hioco and Blood Rose became mods, don't tell me Sushi had nothing to do with it.

 

NOBODY FOR MOD. It's causing too much trouble' date=' I don't wanna see any more of these power struggle threads. We have enough mods to do the job already. Maybe a Contest mod, but that's all we'd really need if even that.

 

[b']Maybe the right number but NOT the right people.[/b]

What's the purpose of SXR? A forum like YCM but without the Yugioh and the Card Maker part and more of the flaming YCM part?

 

Seriously, all of you SXR people need to get over yourselves.

 

I think all of the active mods are doing a great job, and even if they weren't, YCM would still be great. If you differ, than go to your SXR forum and never come back.

 

loooooooooooooooooooool

 

I will never agree that everything about YCM is pathetic.

 

Because it's hypocrites like YOU who spoil it.

 

And btw, Draco Straybyrn hates YCM. Look at his Encyclopedia Dramatica entry here: http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Yugioh_Card_Maker , and see if you still think he should super-mod us.

 

Do us all a favour and get a sense of humor

 

Okay' date=' I had to come back for this. x3[/color']

 

No you didn't.

 

First of all' date=' tea.leaf should definitely be the TCG mod again. end of discussion on that topic.[/color']

 

Yeah, because mods that think the rules don't apply to them are very helpful to a forum. Especially one like YCM that has over 100,000 members.

 

As much as Draco would be a great mod' date=' ain't gonna happen.[/color']

 

That's probably the stupidest statement(s) I've read all day.

 

Also' date=' SXR > Drift > YCM[/color']

 

No wait, that's the stupidest statement I've read all day.

 

Here's a cookie baby =3

[Chaotix®]

That would probably explain why Raven is such a bad Mod' date=' then.

[/quote']

 

Don't mean to argue, but why say that? I don't see Raven as a bad mod =/

 

She's does her job just fine.

[Junk Raver]

 

What I am trying to say is that now the moderation team appears to have been tainted into the belief that Matt was in fact certainly involved in the first porn incident' date=' whilst having no proof to support this. This seeming-McCarthyism effects new moderators as they come.

 

[/quote']

 

Not all the Moderation Team, do you forget i too like you, wished for Matt to be unbanned, and argued my case on the Mod Forum.

 

Looking back those many months ago, and reviewing the situation, i can say that the porn spamming was blown out of control, i was given evidence by Moderators and members that Matt was responsible, but however much we recieved, i personally thought Matt was not responsible, in the leading role. I believe Matt, after a given time, may have helped out, but only out of revenge for him being made a scapegoat and also because of his swift unexplained banning from YCMaker.

 

That however is the past, i personally think the fued between YCM and SXR should end as it is rather childish now.

 

Tea should be allowed another chance, dont forget that Jerry was made Moderator again after losing his powers for abusing them.

 

Matt should be unbanned.

 

YCMaker should select more Moderators, and himself and Pizza, should try to act on current members and Moderators advice more, we have so many suggestions for improvement, but none are put into action.

[Cyber Altair]

DJ, this is the best suggestion you might have ever given out.

[Protoman]

DJ' date=' this is the best suggestion you might have ever given out.

agreed big time. I never knew ya had it in ya DJ :P aslo Frunk weren't you supposed to be gone?

[~ P O L A R I S ~]

Hello everyone' date='

 

I decided to make this one post to clear up all the misconceptions and silence those who disagree with my argument. For the record, that particular message was written back in early September of this year as part of an event on SXR. I stand by everything I wrote and let me say, everything I have said is in fact correct and the utter, bitter truth. If you have access to SXR, I suggest you read it, as while I am honoured and surprised to be quoted after all this time, that’s just two paragraphs of my eight paragraph argument, and I think it flows better when read in whole.

 

I would like to point out that I do not hate this site, nor do I think it's a bad site, but I am merely critical of something that was at one stage a major part of my life. The moderation of this site is below a standard that is required for a forum of this size to run efficiently, and [i']some[/i] of the moderators themselves are indeed incompetent (I'm not here to point out who), but even so this is not always entirely the fault.

 

Keep in mind that I have not observed how this forum has been going in over two months, so I suppose things may have changed. Irrespective, during the time I was here, as well as during the time I was still partially observing the site, the problem was (and hence the reason for the problem from the previous paragraph), of course, the administration. YCMaker was (and may still be) trying to moderate when he should be administrating. While of course he can moderate at times, his prime concerns should be (a) making sure the forum is entertaining and (b) hiring and training moderators. What? I've never seen YCMaker moderate, I've never seen him lock a thread or anything.

 

This is why many moderators of this site uncontrollably lose their way when trying to do their jobs (despite some of us managing to learn from scratch, but I won’t dwell on this). YCMaker just “makes” moderators and expects them to learn the rest on their own, which, when dealing with a forum based on such a… juvenile topic, is difficult and unlikely. During my time on the site, other than the occasional announcement, YCMaker rarely gave any moderators, myself included, instructions on what to do in terms of their everyday tasks and, more importantly, he failed to tell them how to do their job as whole. What's to instruct? Look at the rules and enforce them for their section(s).

 

As I wrote in quoted article – this is the problem, and this is what is pathetic, as it can so easily be avoided. Is it perhaps that YCMaker is just unsure of how to administrate properly? I would expect so, but in his defence there is no how-to guide to administrating a forum (or moderating one, for that matter, but that didn’t stop myself, Ty and others), but if this was the case he could’ve always asked for help.

 

I’ll say to Max, the ever-wavering patriarch, and all the others in this thread who have come out in staunch defence of their beloved forum, that you are missing the point. As the old fact states, when something in your life is so important, it’s easy to see it in black and white as something that is perfect and miraculously unable to ever become tainted. In reality, everything has its flaws, and in this case they are speckled infinitely over what many of you probably consider being a major part of your life, and coloured in countless shades of grey…You do not hate this site or consider this a bad site, remember? Saying we have infinite gray-shaded (kinda evil and corrupt and bad) flaws speckled over the forum isn't exactly a compliment now is it? Oh you hate YCM alright. You think it doesn't remember or care about what you've done, and this is true, mainly due to the fact that you've done nothing but attack us lately.

 

Furthermore, some of you may consider SXR to not have the right to an opinion. Some of you may laugh at us and think we are wasting our time. Some of you may think we are evil and hell-bent on destroying your “livelihoods” here. Let me say that all these are wrong. We are allowed to have an opinion via the process of free thought and its conversion into free speech, which of course includes that that is written. We are not wasting our time by bothering ourselves with the likes of your forum because anything on the internet may be seen as entertainment. Irrespective, you would find, if you visited SXR, that YCM is not a big topic as I’ll admit it once was, and that many members of our stuff frown upon its discussion. Lastly, we are certainly not hell-bent on “destroying YCM”, “causing a revolution”, “terrorising you” or anything of the sort. The former two are a waste of time (as Sartorism proved) and the latter is in effect, not worth it, as we’ve all seen how this site responds to what it considers “terrorism”.

 

Also, and this refers largely to Dark Edo Phoenix I'm just so honored... and his tendency to pull anti-SXR propaganda out of nowhere and fling it shamelessly onto the forum, please, by all means, have your opinions on our SXR. Shout them to your forum and discuss them with great enthusiasm. Nothing is grander for a forum than pride. However, should you choose to do this, I ask and strongly suggest that you get your facts straight, make your argument in a well-set-out manner and remember that we will always reserve the right of free speech and respond if we see fit. And I suggest you tell me which "facts" I didn't get straight.

 

Remember your place my fellow YCMers. "Our place"? In what? We don't have "a place", we are free to do whatever we want if so we choose, we will not be limited by placings. Remember that we will do what we want and that you may do what you want. Remember that you may not always know the full story of your forum. Remember.

 

Frunk.

 

What I find funny is the fact that you flame our mods (Raven, hioco, etc) when you yourself were never an active mod since I joined back in April. Alot can happen over a period of 7 months, yet you cling to your time in which you stopped things like "Sartorism" and "The Grammar War", which few people here have any reason to remember, because you're not giving them any reason to remember, you've done nothing for us in those 7+ months, and it doesn't matter nearly as much as what you do now tell us how much YCM sucks and not do a goddamn thing to help it.

 

I'm not pulling anti-SXR propoganda, I'm just saying YCM doesn't suck as much as you'd like us to think it does, and that I don't want "OMG YCM SUCKS!" to be a major topic in SXR.

[Protoman]

Edo you know it will and BTW Frunk he is right but Edo Realize this YCM is going into a YCM version of the Depression or in my words going into a state of badness not quickly but slowly

[CinnamonStar]

Thanks for your comments everyone, however, I will have to lock this, regardless of what some kiddies may say, as this, which used to be a decent topic, has turned into a group flaming hole.=/

 

Now my 3 cheers for Faint:

Lol, Raven is a major pessismist which is making her a poor mod at the moment. Due to her inactivity, she only comes on for a short amount of time, where she locks threads and warns people for the tiniest things.

 

Learn to spell and then we talk again.;)

 

I know I'm inactive and I know that I could do more for the site, HOWEVER note that I have a life, which you should try out once, too. Also, have you ever thought about the fact that I may have my reasons to be such a "pessimist"? There is something called life, which doesn't always goes the way you want it to and which might affect your point of view on some things.=)

And yes, I do give out warnings and moderate around whenever I have time, but what would YOU - OH-THE-GREAT-FAINT, THY EMINENCE! - do in that case? Look at it, General is the spammiest section, would you just sit there and do nothing?

Actually, take your frustration somewhere else. When Slimey left the site you started this "ZOMG just look at me, I would be such a great mod!!" propaganda all over General, but then you didn't get picked out. OH THE MISERY!!

Seriously, get over that over-inflated ego, look into the mirror before pointing at others and if you don't like this, stay at your own site (*cough* which by the way can't be compared to YCM as it has far less members and actually most of them are people you invite whereas YCM gets everything, the good and the bad members *cough*). But most of all, get a life.=)

 

Now my cheers for crystal_skull: I gave you 2 small warnings for reasons which are stated in the administrative notes and in my PM's. If you still don't get it, it's not my fault. Actually, if you would lurk around more, you would have realized that regular mods can't remove their reps.

 

 

So basically, yes, I do accept comments, especially negative ones, since I'm such a "pessimist" and I take them into consideration, but if you're only pointing at people out of frustration or to show off how much better YOU would have been, I'm not taking part in the game anymore.

Actually, if you state that the forum is going down, maybe some of you should ask themselves if they aren't contributing to the process?=) This whole drama and "ZOMG I can do everything SO MUCH better, yet I'm too childish so I just flame people" attitude doesn't help much in improving the site, does it?

 

My reason for locking this thread is that it has turned into a flaming hole and if anyone thinks otherwise, prove me the contrary or get some glasses.=)

[Falling Pizza]

...forget your great "we need a scapegoat" campaign which appears to have not only brainwashed a large number of YCMers, but as well the YCM moderation team who created it while waiting for their "super-admin" to do something...

 

That is absolutely, 100% inaccurate. Our actions were based entirely on evidence that Draco had participated in the raids, and that is all.
