h71y6 Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Is it me or is the forums a better place now? :D I haven't seen any flames for a while now, everyone is helping and the games, media forums have been flourishing. The themes are coming and of great quality, such as Chaninja's(G.O.D.) and the Reflection etc. Keldyn and TimDorr have been doing a fantastic job. Funny it seemed things got better the moment some of the guys went to Neonerds. Tells you something doesn't it? kekeke.. (low blow hehe but j/k tho). The news just keeps coming and getting better. Everyone deserves credit for the recent improvements. Kudos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzla Veteran Posted April 12, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 12, 2002 I haven't seen any flames for a while nowAnd what is this:Funny it seemed things got better the moment some of the guys went to Neonerds. Tells you something doesn't it? kekeke.. I have to agree though, just not with your reasoning. The site does seem a better place. I went over to Neonerds, I'm still there. Doesn't mean I was a troublemaker. Keldyn and TimDorr have been doing a fantastic job. Agree 100%, they've done a good job, taken no ****, and the forums are a better place for it (especially you Keldyn, hard man of Neowin :D :s ). So keep up the good work peeps.

karmakillernz Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 From what I've seen its still the flame fest it once was :) But if its just me not seeing things right, great. Good for neowin :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h71y6 Posted April 12, 2002 Author Share Posted April 12, 2002 lol Dazzla and Karma, i'm just teasing ya guys at Neonerds. It seems just about appropriate that you Neonerds guys are still saying that there are still flames going about in Neowin. Take it in light, it was meant that way. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally posted by Dazzla...I have to agree though...the site does seem a better place... The forums have a lot less flames now, but no forum will ever be flame free because there is such a thing as opinion and free speech, people will say what they want. People have to get over it, even Neonerds had flamers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose, but I'm the sort of person who walks head on into things like that. I'll give my opinion, usually with reasoning, and not give two ****s what others think. I draw the line at contributing to the flamebait though. So I guess what I'm saying is you wont see me charging head on into a thread and proclaiming something like "Macs are ****" or "Nvidia are ****". Then again, I would never say Macs are ****, my new iMac is coming on Monday :D :D :p have one on me!! Dazzla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted April 12, 2002 Administrators Share Posted April 12, 2002 I have to agree... there have been some trouble makers at Neowin that are no longer here - this is fact The other fact is that Neowin is able to leave ALOT more threads open because of the maturity of MOST of the members. ie: Political oriantated threads are actually educating to read here. The "flaming" that everyone was so worried about wasnt that bad considering the amount of hits and posts Neowin gets daily. I myself expect a flame or 2 even 3 out of the 1500-2000 posts made on the forums daily my 2 cents.. I am happy to see some people back tho.

Osiris Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 I dont know about improving, ill concede the flames may be just emberring but the lack of consistancy in the moderators has dispensed Kedlyn with a great deal of control, hes infected all the forums, that sounded negative wasnt quite intended to be, eitherway I dislike, silent opinioned people with large amounts of power over people, and their posts.

Keldyn Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Thankyou for your input Osiris. I'm sorry that you have decided you have a problem with me. Perhaps i do have alot of control over the forums, here but truth be known that is what the job has afforded me. I try to do the very best i can. If for some reason moderators cannot be here to watch over their chosen forum, then i have every right to step in and watch over things for them. As for being opiniated....i resent that. And i also dislike your use of the word "infected" when referring to me. I have always tried to be fair here Osiris. I have to abide by rules just as you guys do and sometimes i have to make decisions i may not necessarily agree with. This may include the closing of a thread, or locking of a post. I am here to help you guys out, i invest alot of my time into doing so and i am sorry that you somehow feel threatened or intimidated by my being a member of staff here. One of the perks of being a staff member is that you will never be able to please everyone, and you are bound to make some enemies along the way. Now if you have decided that this is such a case then i am truly sorry. However i am just doing my job, and i stand by my actions and the decisions i have had to make here. ~Keldyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 I havent decided anything, its just something thats evolving from certain actions. Unfortunetly for you im far from being threatened by the staff here, the other staff tend to be more controlled, or perhaps themselves when they are actually on the boards. You my weary friend seem to be getting alot of power here. Ive been told powers a very powerful drug, for some people it goes to their heads.

You my weary friend seem to be getting alot of power here. Ive been told powers a very powerful drug, for some people it goes to their heads. Well...all i am going to say is that i have been doing my job. ALot of people have complimented me on this so i must certainly be doing something right. I am not really sure why you disagree. Power certainly has not "gone to my head" as you would put it. I happen to enjoy working here, but its no different before i became a staff member and i would still visit here, were i not one. I follow the rules and when necessary i enforce them. Sometimes i have to be harsh, it is not something i enjoy. I dont get any pleasure out of closing threads, issuing warnings, or even banning members i can assure you. I wish i didnt have to do any of that. Ya know....that is the great thing about not being a staff member. If a conflict broke out on the forums, i could just walk away from it, i didnt have to involve myself. Its not like that now. I dont see how you can call me opiniated either. I have to do my best to ensure i remain neutral here and i like to think i have done this well. As for the "power" thing, i could not care less about that. I am staff because i wanted a chance to help a community i love and i am doing that. Once again i am truly sorry that i have somehow managed to slight you. I just do what i have to, i know you understand that. I am not going to continue this argument/discussion with you further. I am done on the matter. Keldyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
