GR7 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 this bores me. Ive argued about what...3,4 times on my stay at neowin....about a year ago or more....i havent been warned, not even once...the mods are pretty easy-going if you dont directly insult people or just f*ck around..... they're friendly and all. i think you can express freely.....but Neowin wasnt made for people who had a bad day to come and get the sh*t off their chests here. You can talk about it.....but insulting when things were uncalled for? naaaaah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I am a beta tester but not why I made the name, I am not good at picking a "name" for myself on forums and I just happened to be using the browser ;) Funny thing is if I was using firebird, I would be firebird_user lol, just lack of creativity for names.

CubanPete Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 i think the problems more to do with people flaming so much in posts that the whole question or topic that was origanally stated becomes a bit of a war. They delete these topics that you think are "stupid" because no one wants to read it, they just want to flame, the topic becomes the top rated when infact it probably was a stupid post, by flaming the guy who started it your just keeping it alive instead of leaving it and ignoring it till it gets to the least popular and gets deleted after so long because no ones replyed. You just contradicted yourself in your own thread, God forbid someone actually say what they feel on neowin. God forbid someone being themselves for once on the forum. what nerve people have to make a reply states that they dont agree with the ideas or opinions of another neowin member? right admins? Has it ever occured to you that maybe thats what this guy was doing? Or this is what these so called "Stupid" posts are?? People have different views as you have mentioned, that is why you probably dont like every post you read. So basically your trying to say if you think someones post is "stupid" they should have it removed? This board has many people with many different views and there is a line that dictates what you can and cannot post or views that you should maybe just keep to yourself. Check out the rules for the forum, they are Fair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifty Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 when it comes to posting opinions of (insert topic) opinions will be expressed whether it is positive or negative. there is a no fine line between constructive criticism and outright flaming. basically its eye-of-the-beholder. i dont take anyones opinions towards me as negative or positive. i could careless what someone posts about me. i think its down right rediculous for someone to get their panties in a bunch of some "joe-shmow" said, "hey that sucks butt" who cares!! its his/her opinion. if you are going to let it get you down and force you to write a post back, replying to suck whatever then it becomes childish behavior, you are just as guilty of being a retard. i understand Vaxxy's comments. i do feel that censorship is needed for a simple fact that there are more retards out there in this world that cant control themselves. if it posseses you to post a negative opinion, you better make it constructive and back it up!! time and time again there are tards out there that just post BS just to start some crap w/ someone else. seriously, whats the point???? if you ask yourself "why did i post that?" you might just end up punching yourself in your genitals. i know i would i posted something hateful and dis-respectful. as you all know there are rules on this forum. simple and realistic rules. anyone can follow them. to me neowin is a society of mixed backgrounds and people. like any society there will be rules and bounderies. we has human beings CAN NOT control our behavior to keep order. thats why you find posts and threads being deleted by mods. its because some jackass couldnt take the time to pick his nose instead of posting something that was against the rules. like the old saying "one can ruin it for all" holds true in any situation here on this forum. all it takes is atleast one dumbass to ruin a good thing. before you post something. think twice. if you still feel you need to further tell the world you are bad person do so on your own time and place. not here. Neowin to me is a like a second family. and i treat is as such. i suggest all member look at it this way. that should turn the tide of certain peoples mood to a positive note. i do not go from post to post, saying how stupid something is or make crude and dis-respectful comments towards ANYTHING. why? its not needed and since i treat each and every one of my 40,000+ family members here at neowin like my brothers and sisters. in real life i only give positive and constructive criticism to my family and it carries on when i am on Neowin. what im trying to get at is that some of you just dont know when to stop. it sickens me that in this day in the 21st century someone can spend the effort to be retard. that time could have been spend doing something more constructive, but instead chose to tell someone else that they, their work, opinions, etc sucked ass. for shame. if you are one of those posters who posts negative comments w/o just cause then you need to re-evaluate yourself not just as a neowin member, but as a human being. :no: i certainly hope that what you do on this board is certainly not what you do in real life. you might just get a nasty PM here for a comment you made out of sheer stupidity, but in real life if you say negative stuff to someone i can guarantee they wont be sending you a PM, but you will get a swift jab in the head.

VaxxY Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 people, people, people.. havent we learned anything yet?some folks really need to check themselves about when to feel insulted and retaliate like a "12-yr-old child".. THIS is the kind of post we dont need here, or on any forum IMO.. people, learn to live with someone crtitizing you.. learn to live with someone telling you you suck ass or hating your guts for whatever dumbass reason it may be.. and most of all, learn to live past it all.. if we all accept this, Neowin and the Internet in general, will definitelly be a lot funner.. i really cant say how people havent figured this out already.. by the way VaxxY, i appreciate your opinions and to some extent respect your immature ass.. you just need to learn when to shut the hell up.. sorry...? :laugh: why do you follow me around the threads i post in like the little dog that you are? in that particular post, i did not flame at all. that member flamed me (he tried his darndest anyway) and told me that he however chose his style more carefully to flame people than i did. i simply quoted his very flame and showed him that i posted in the exact same manner he did - and that our different styles were in fact one in the same. but seriously, perhaps youve got something better to do than follow me around posting your stupid on-a-tangent/off-the-point-completely replies? im sure theres several dog butts that needs sniffing around you..

uniacidz Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 i have been banned i think 14 times now. all for expressing myself. granted, i was no where near as harsh as i was in that thread, but i got banned for stating my opinion. i didnt agree with someone, i felt they were a little low on the iq scale, and by letting them know that perhaps it isnt wisest for them to make their little posts i was instantly banned Been banned 14 itmes aye? Well gee, i wonder why. Maybe cos you have been acting like a moronic git is one reason for those bannings. If you dont agree with someone, you respect that persons decision whilst making your point at the same time and agree to disagree. As for the IQ scale, if you cant work out what im thinking of you right now, then damn aye. i agree i was not very professional in that thread, but neither was anyone else in there. and you cant deny it, you all loved it as that thread hit 6 pages in 30 minutes. Thats a understatement. If you were the main instigater of the flaming, of course you gonna be banned before them. If you adding fuel to the fire, then really what do you think was gonna happen?all im saying is perhaps we need a thread or two with critism without having to have the fear of getting banned or something lurking in the back of our heads. all im saying is that we should be able to express ourselves even if that means disagreeing with someone else. Familiarise yourself with the Members Metrolpolis. If you been here a while and havent used it, then your observation skills are lacking. I have included the rules below, just in case you need the added extra help. https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showforum=81 Members Metropolis Conditions of Entry We have created this forum so that off topic and mature issues can be discussed in its own forum section. The Real World Issues forum allows political and otherwise controversial debate while The Soapbox can be used to have a rant. As usual per the community rules this does not give you the right to be one of the following: Racist or Hateful/Victimizing toward others. Such posts are dealt with zero tolerance as stated in the "Community Rules". i remember in that thread there was a person who made a post to tell me and a few others to shut the fcuk up (which, by all means is his right and i did not at all care or was hurt by it), then quickly replying a few seconds later with an apology. i mean come on. why should someone be so petrified to speak their mind here? Im speaking my mind arent i? Or do you think i have refrained myself? (retorical question) Seriously, if you cannot see how your actions have impacted on others, then your perception of your actions is duly lacking any maturity and integrity. Take some time off and think about, cos i think you need that time off so therefore you have the time to process it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted January 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 9, 2004 I'm leaving this open as a forum for members to express their opinions on the subject, because I don't think this type of thread ha ever existed more than 10 seconds on the board. I'm, frankly, kind of curious to see what can result from it. Plus, things haven't gotten too bad in regards to flaming, so it's acceptable as far as I'm concerned. Plus, I've been able to converse with VaxxY over PM about the manner in more relation to specifics and let the general issue exist here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Neowin. :cry: this just gets better and better. now weve got another prime example of what i was talking about. this guy tells me in a very discrete manner how he felt about me, and hes so scared now that he has to actually reply with an apology.. this has to stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanman Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 The moment i clicked on that poem thread, it was deleted. :D LOL, the moment I refreshed it was deleted. lol Davey: I have been trying to tell him that in the previous thread, this guy doesn't listen. Vaxxy: I can understand where you're coming from with that "prime example". But what you have been talking about wasn't about this "prime example". It was about your views on Mods and the state of Neowin, which I believe the admins aren't even as concerned as you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted January 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 9, 2004 He was admiting that you proved him wrong, and appologizing for being incorrect. What's wrong with that? o_O? Edit: s/W/H/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaxxY Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 We was admiting that you proved him wrong, and appologizing for being incorrect. What's wrong with that? o_O? he did not apologize to me what happened was that i showed him that me and him were more similar (human - with our own opinions and ideas) than he previously thought. he realized that he had let his emotions get a hold of him (what can often happen to human beings) and he flamed me. when i showed him that he was just like me, and he realized how quickly ive made such a worthy name of myself (sarcasm) within minutes here, and how ive been banned many times before, he immideately apologized. did he mean what he said in his flame? every word he did - it was raw emotion. if you read it youll see its nowhere near as comprehembable as his apology, his post was on raw human emotion and hsi hatred for me. he meant every word in that flame. the reason the apologized was so he would not be banned or not be looked down on by the community, not because he was sorry for what he said - he meant every word. my point was that something like this needs to stop. so what if he flamed me - i dont care - some may think i actually deserve it. but having to post someones opinion and then quickly apologizing in fear of what the neowin society will do to him needs to stop.

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted January 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 9, 2004 Ok, not to get anyone's panties in a bunch, but I'm closing this topic. *Not* because it's gotten excessively out of hand, but because I have to go to bed :p I would like to leave it open, but it could definitely turn south at any moment and no one is around to watch things closely. If you want to discuss this furthur, send a PM to the staff. I'm willing to discuss the matter furthur if you would like.
