Post by scabab on Oct 13, 2017 7:09:01 GMT
Considering that scabab is more or less the creator of these two boards, I like him for mod. I also like Wakanda , given that I'm not seeing many objections to his nomination. I really don't pay much attention to what goes on here, but apparently these two do. All I know for sure is who it won't be, and neither of these two are on that list. He actually has valid comments and interesting posts and I've admitted that. My only "issue" (for lack of a better word) with him is his oddly rigid problem with people making off topic threads or any type of goofing around. Most people here like Colden and find his humor fun and harmless more often than not. After scabab did whatever to make colden leave for a while the board was less fun and despite scababs insistence otherwise traffic slowed down. If scabab had any type of ability to delete people these boards would be nothing but 50 threads a DAY of arch stanton and his pals having this conversation. "Have you seen the new mcu trailer? Is it the greatest thing you have ever seen?" "Yes I did see it and it is INDEED the greatest thing I have ever seen." "Do you want to watch it again?" "Yes I do want to watch it again!!!!" Sadly I am NOT exaggerating. Arch Stantons countless threads daily are that painfully monotonous. Arch does NOTHING but spam these boards with cut and paste threads and posts like that all day every day ad nauseam. I don't get how scabab has zero problem with that rude jerk or weird raptor cursing everyone out and being a bully or kuatorises also cursing everyone out and being a bully but joking around is somehow worse than the spawn of Hitler and Trump's more racist twin brother. Hell scabab is here a lot less than the people who make lame (But often fun) threads so I'm not even sure why they bother him so much. This is far more than I ever thought I would discuss this. No ass kissing but I applaud you for setting all this up and often getting vitriol spewed at you for your trouble instead of a simple "Thanks John" so do what ever makes life easier for you. And yes I do know I can be a jerk as well sometimes and a smart ass but what's life without levity? It's boring and painful. Like an arch stanton thread that you are forced to read until the end but it never stops. Thats not exactly true. I have no problem with the general goofing around, I've never said anything about that or the random off topic thread. That's harmless. Infact it creates activity which is good for the boards. That's a very different thing from what Colden was doing where he was making constant silly off topic threads and then repeatedly bumping them just so his threads could plaster the first page. Arch is not a "pal". He only has one thread on the first page and three threads on the second and they're all about the MCU what's the problem with that? Yes I do have a problem with Weird Raptor and most people who keep having a go and insulting each other. Like I said there's a lot of prodding that goes on here between Marvel and DC fans. It's not light hearted fun either, it's constant arguing and baiting amongst people. Hopefully if I become a mod I can help cut that down by editing those kind of things out of posts to stop things from escalating for no reason before they start. The other day someone made a Marvel thread on the DC board. I thought he'd made a mistake so I told him it was the wrong board but no, he posted that there to bait people. Later DC Fan because of things like that he then posts DC threads on the Marvel board which helps nobody and makes things worse. Again if I have the ability to move threads from one sub forum to the other, I can stop that from happening.

it is a dark time for the Rebellion... Yeah, man. Didn't a certain smug chud sarcastically throw a link at @weirdraptor? Something about creating a new free forum? Because that idea is all of sudden interesting.

Thanks for ruining the MCU and DCEU boards. From what I can tell, they're already ruined. Hence this thread.

I love how you tell this incredible three-act story of you whining to admin and him placating you to shut your dork ass up so he could go back to whatever sleazy ulterior motives he was using this place for that given day literally 50% of the time you post. You're like that dude who peaked in high school and only wants to talk about the Big Game against Central. TELL IT AGAIN!!!1

After scabab did whatever to make colden leave for a while... Scabab did nothing to make Colden leave for a while. I did. And it seems he has forgotten that he's still on probation. Board mods do not have the ability to delete users. Indeed. Thanks, poelzig .

It's not an easy job, but I wish you the best of luck. Oh, I didn't say I wanted it. Hell, I'd prolly find myself twisted around the little finger of some trashy board rat and the object of dozens upon dozens of people's active, ongoing hatred. Right? That's what happens, right? That's normal, innit?

I know you have reported several posts, though, so you might want to watch where you step as there may be hypocrisy ahead. Nonetheless, the neighborhood watch has proven itself to be invaluable on this forum, so I love the "rats." They are, after all, the ones who help keep this place alive.

scabab
Arf arf stanton is not here because he:
A. Claims to be lying low while he meditates about how great Thor will be or something else goofy. Again I'm not joking he actually said that.
B. In truth is because he saw this thread and knew many people that are not rabid fans of his curiously hateful passive aggressive trolling/cut and paste mcu worship would point out he needs to go.
Again I grudgingly admit you raise interesting points when NOT obsessed over colden and a few others acting a fool. CH rancor seems to be mainly an act unlike kuato rises and weird raptor who may actually have issues
I've never witnessed colden bumping his threads. I've noticed others doing it but mainly really harmless guys that NEVER cause trouble like Anthony Rocks when he makes polls. Nice guy that loves polls so don't go bother him either.
Look at all the traffic this thread has attracted and we're not discussing even one movie. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Hmmmmm

Hmmmmm There was a brief period where traffic to (or at least activity in) the MCU board manifestly fell off a cliff over the summer, so to bring attention to it I started making a point of bumping several of my old threads, obviously hamming it up, and making several threads about how we needed more discussion about the movies, more on-topic threads, etc (the twofold joke being that [1] what I was saying amid my "shenanigans" was playfully pointing out and underscoring how one-note and droll the place was becoming and [2] my "character" appeared oblivious to the hypocrisy of my role in this, thus begging for someone to point this inconsistency out). INSTEAD: Scabab complained to admin, who neither banned nor even suspended my posting privileges but said I needed to tone things down or, yes, he'd ban me. (But then, at the behest of one of his many board rats he was banning people left and right at that point, so who knows how to interpret the actions of a dude who runs a message board in order to meet women? In 2017. I mean -- yeah.) Exasperated, I chose to stop posting altogether for a few weeks to see what would happen... and, well, the results were quite interesting. So that's what happened with that.

Yeah, I was referring to you alienating like 2/3rds of the people with whom you previously and primarily interacted on here, who regard you with scorn and derision to this day. That Whole Thing.

And IIRC, you begged to come back. The "toning down" was a condition of your return since the previous requests were ineffective. And look at you now! I guess it's true about leopards and their spots. 3. I have never "banned people left and right," although at the end of July, I did indeed ban 13 Soapboxers in one fell swoop. Best move I ever made here. 4. The bit about running this forum to meet women is fodder for Frank's board as it seems to be a popular rumor over there. Perhaps it's time you submit a registration...

I must have been MIA when that happened. My girlfriend will notice at times I'm not lavishing enough attention on her and "urge" me to spend less time online. Of course I am on here lately because I'm the man and do what I want. Also she is taking care of her Grandma for a few weeks and is hundreds of miles away. Sounds like you were just doing what you thought the board needed. Looks like it worked, right?

I was banned for telling you to "fuck off" in response to a polite request to chill out, which was a total overreaction. I apologized and you allowed me to come back. The "final warning" you gave me pertained to "spamming and bumping" threads and supposedly being too much of a dick, and I responded to you that I don't think I'm anymore of an asshole than most people here and then reflected and added that I could prolly be less obnoxious, too. Since my "return," I've done nothing but participate in good faith and good fun on here apart from this thread, and even here I did so until the laughable and ludicrous moment when Scabab was appointed Lord of our little fiefdom here. 3. You banned people all summer long and bragged about it almost daily. 4. Keeping telling yourself that it's relegated to being a "rumor" elsewhere instead of an established fact here that radiates around you, trailing whispers in its wake the moment you leave the virtual room.
