Is it me or.....


Recommended Posts

I must say, things have improved ane Neowin. For awhile there it seemed like every thread that was started would end with flaming. I for one was tired of it and so I (sorry to say) stopped coming to/posting on Neowin. Not that I have great insite but all the same, Neowin is a great source of information.

Neowin is a resourceful community with,for the most part, good members.

Thanx to all the mods for doing a fantastic job!!! :)

Ive been told powers a very powerful drug, for some people it goes to their heads.

Don't it :p

In all seriousness tho and to answer everyones questions or reserve on Keldyn we the admin felt that Keldyn was ALREADY a moderator without power. I for one have always seen Keldyn as one of the first to stand in between two that were fighting in a thread and try to calm the situation before moderators were able to get to the scene. The only thing Keldyn lacked at that time was the mod power to control the situation. Because of this we decided Keldyn was the best addition to Neowin at the time.

I am happy with all the additions and the current staff on Neowin, there are many and like you said Osiris, power can be a drug.. we have seen people mis-use their position on Neowin but thats the risk we have to take.

If we didnt trust anyone it would still be just me and redmak doing the work, and I bet we wouldnt be so popular. Its the combined effort that makes Neowin what it is. :)

Actually id like to offer Keldyn an apology, I didnt like his reasons for closing a thread andive used this topic to exxagerate a little anger on that and another issue. After talking it through with Keldyn I feel like a jerk because hes a tremendously fair guy, so for that I apologise if I had an issue with his reasons I should have dealth with it prvately instead of publicly.

The other issue that I used to usurp this thread was my dissapointment at the customisingXP forum. I alike alot of other themeers and people have contributed treamondously to that thread and the lack of moderator support for it. without naming names one of the moderators is there once every 6monthsd the other never seems to be there when he needs to be, no offence to them. This is becomming quite the problem, and I lashed out at Kelydn since hes become like the one man moderator so for that I apologise again.

Hi Osiris,

If you ever come across a thread that you think needs a mod to step in, please use the "report this post to a moderator" feature. If a mod doesn't seem to be around or not taking notice, I can guarantee after using that feature, there will be at least 3 mods on it within 20 mins.

Yeah Ive never had to use that feature, I just feel if the mods who wer meant to be there actually did it, andf its not so much the immediate attetntion that the customisnfg xzp thread needs, it just needs some order, due to the same threads over and over, or threads that shouldnt be there because theres 3 othe rlevels to the customisig XP forum.

Give the post the slip

Step on a crack

Break the posters back

When a problem post comes along

Keldyn must whip it

Before the flame wars sit too long

Keldyn must whip it

When some posts going wrong

Keldyn must whip it

now whip it

into shape

shape it up

get straight

go forward

move ahead

try to detect it

it's not too late

to whip it

whip it good

When a good post turns around

Keldyn must whip it

You will never live it down

when Keldyn whips it

No one gets their way

when keldyn whips it

now whip it

into shape

shape it up

get straight

go forward

move ahead

try to detect it

it's not too late

to whip it

I do also feel that the forum has become a slightly better place since I joined (feb 02).

And ALL OF THE MODS are doing a great job of deleting offensive posts,moving them etc .

Group hug?

Neowin did improve, and it's really an active forum now. When i joined this forum there were about 2000 members and watch it now. Over 10000 members.

BTW

THE OVERCLOCKERS AND SKINNING SECTION RULEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All skinners are together here on neowin. :)

So i'm moving back to the skinning section or the modding section

I hadn't thought about it much, but yeah the forums, and Neowin in general, has gotten alot better lately. The forums did seem to "clean" up when the whole Neonerds thing happened, which is odd because alot of the people that went over weren't trouble makers or anything... at least not that I ever noticed. I guess a few is all you need though :D

I can't say I've noticed any less flames, just that they've been being handled a little better and have toned down a bit. Although I was starting to worry at the end of the "Do you believe in God..." thread :ermm: :D

I agree that flamming and spamming is down but stupid posts are up to an all time high! So high, that some of the members must be having one helluva trip on pot.
