^ UR A SHITTY MOD.

aint nuttin but a g thang babay

i've never seen you on this late JC on cB. this is awkward.

mipadi wanna stop changing my avatar you f*cken douche

Nope.

No, it was funny at first, but now it's just plain annoying. Stop changing my avatar. You're only on staff cuz Rebecca has a crush on you.

Stick with your "tech support" shit, and leave the Avatar shit alone.

Hey, it's not even my birthday yet though!

that would bug the shit out of me.

giving michael powers = bad idea.

Isn't Michael changing Tung's avatar a type of mod power abuse?

^x2 It is, and even after Tung clearly expressed his annoyance over it. I don't think they need to argue over this over PMs because Michael should just stop changing the avatar or face some sort of consequence, no matter how trivial you think this incident is. There's a fine line between having a sense of humour and just being a jackass.

Tung didn't "blast" it, he was just saying how annoyed he was, and I don't think there's anything wrong in letting other people know what has happened.

This IS the Mod Performance thread.

I don't really think he put Michael on blast about it Michael probably knew Tung would say something. And, yes, Michael should stop. Changing the bad word censors should have been enough for him to get his shits and giggles.

Edit: Whoops, I was typing while others were posting...

lol mipadi's gon take cb over

I gotta hand it to Tung, he was pretty clever in taking this public, rather than simply offering a clever riposte, which would've been more fun.

First of all, to those who claim this is "power abuse", chill out. These are Internet forums. They're supposed to be fun, as long as no one gets hurt. Take a breather.

Secondly, let's put this practical joke in perspective:

1. Way back in April 2008, I rejoined CB after a one-year hiatus, and posted in the thread I am intimidated by long topics!. Some guy named Tungster (his username at the time, if I recall) made a snarky comment about me. I didn't really know the dude, and figured he was just joking around -- giving the new guy a gentle ribbing -- so I didn't bother responding.
2. A few weeks or so later, the same dude posts something in my user comments that pokes fun at my user picture. Again, didn't know who the guy was, figured he was just joking around, so I deleted the comment and ignored it. BFD, this is the Internet, who cares?
3. Then in September, the same dude posts the same comment in my comments again. Being a seasoned Internet forum user with a sense of humor, I decide to offer a snarky comeback, on the apparently mistaken assumption that this is a joke. In retrospect, my comment perhaps "hit a bit too close to home", but this is all in good fun, right? Tungster offers a rejoinder, and I don't bother responding.
4. A bit later, in some thread in Relationships that I can't seem to find now, I poke a jab back just for the hell of it. Tungster makes a quippy comeback, and that's that.
5. Then Tungster decides to up the ante and publicly called me a f*g. I consider asking Dani or Rebecca to warn him, since I don't feel comfortable doing it myself, but then I think, "Nah, that's no fun -- how about a little prank?" So I changed his avatar. BFD, it's a funny, topical prank and no one gets hurt.
6. Tungster gets his panties in a twist and posts about it here.

So this is all really a joke that just got out of hand.

tl;dr If Tung wants to talk smack about members, he should be prepared to reap the whirlwind.

WOW that's detailed for something that's meant to be in good "fun".

And when was it ever a good justification to say, "Well, he started it"? <- Obviously paraphrased.

Hey, not saying that Tung is an angel, in fact he's far from it, but if he wants you to stop, then stop. Simple as that. It's childish to do otherwise.

Besides, to egg someone on using your admin powers...yes that's power abuse. The definition doesn't change with the context, no matter how trivial (you think) it is.

Gigi, I don't see how it's okay for someone to call me a f*g, but when I do something as benign as changing his avatar (to something that's not even offensive, no less), it's inappropriate. There's a clear double standard here.

Ok, so I just found out about this. I've had some stuff to deal with of a personal nature.

Honestly, I could give a crap what Tung and Michael think of each other. I don't get the "I have a crush on Mipadi" thing other than a desperate attempt to humiliate me because you're pissed off at what someone else did. Michael DID help us on when we were in a bind. I didn't see Tung offering any help or advice when the queue fiasco occurred so you can stop including me in your petty little arguments. I mean, maybe I have a crush on Tung, since I was for his being promoted to People Staff. Whatever. Some of you act like little children, I swear.

No, I don't agree with Michael changing avatars. I don't agree with Tung talking shit all the time either. Hell, there's A LOT I don't agree with as far as what people say at this forum. OH WELL.

This will be taken care of one way or another. God forbid I take a couple of weeks off to deal with family concerns and have a little me time.

^ LOL ilu Rebecca.

I never said it was okay. But just because someone did it before, doesn't mean that you should do it again, even if there is a double standard (which should be addressed). You're better than that. Rebecca's right in saying that you guys act like children sometimes, seriously.

lol @ how the queue problems relates to this

The queue related issues are directly related to why Michael was put into the position he is in. =/

lol, so theoretically speaking, kryo put mipadi in an admin position

Thank you. You're right -- absolutely right. If I may be serious a moment, that sentiment has occurred to me, too. But to be honest, Tung kept annoying me with the same stupid comment over and over again, so I decided to finally just roll with it and have a bit of fun.


It was all a conspiracy between him and I, in fact. Months ago, he and I collaborated; he'd trash the site, and I'd offer a fix, thereby getting a fast-track promotion to Administrator so I could change Tung's avatar a few days before my birthday.

Success!

ha ha but he wasn't the first one to trash the queue, but yeah I figured out what you did, nice plan


should've done it on your real birthday though, imo

Yeah. But that's 4 days away, I just couldn't wait!

and this is why

way to waste 4 months of work

so is mipadi a f*g?

I went to a lesbian bar back in August, so...close enough, y'know?

To be honest, I think the whole thing is hilarious. I think Mipadi can be a mega prick, but some of his humor is subtle and quite funny to me. Tung, I like you and all, but you can't get butt hurt because he changes your avatar to something simple and self promoting, not like he's calling you gay or anything or posting photoshopped pictures of you. Besides, with all the shit you pull here, ^_^

Honestly, this pretty much sums it up for me. No one needs to get all hurt and defensive about this - I don't get why people are making such a big deal over it.

Lol. This isn't a big deal. I didn't try to put mipadi on blast. I did say I found him changing my avatar humorous the first couple of times. You would think after several times of me changing my avatar back again, he would get the message to stop. And wow @ keeping a log of all the encounters we had on cB mipadi lol. I don't even remember most of it. If you were so annoyed by those comments made hella ages ago, you should have said so. I called you a f*g in the Unanoynmous shoutouts thread yeah. It's a shoutout thread. I'm surprised you didn't quote me where I said "mipadi is one of my favorite creablog members" and Steven retorts with a "well you have bad taste tung". So it's not like I dislike you or anything. But yeah, all I asked was to stop changing my avatar. This ordeal is over with though.

When did I say something about bad taste? Just now, or the unanon shoutout thing? I'm confused.

f*ck you tung boring ass pirate f****t f*cker gtfo

Tung, not that I'm discontent with your actions like Steven, but you need to put a reason for the topic being closed. I PMed you about it though. But heads up, usually when closing topics, a brief reason needs to be posted as well.

i.e. member bashing, posting pictures without permission, spamming, etc.

/backseat modding

He closed it because it was bothering me and missuchiha.
sorry

I know, you don't need to apologize. I'm just saying this for future reference - moderators should post a brief reason why the topic was closed, that is all. That's how it went back when I was administrator at least.

Sorry, I'm boring Steven.

Christina, I closed the topic, and the reason is obvious, if you look at the edit in the OP. But thanks for the advice on closing topics. I'll use it the next time I close a topic.

No way tung, you're emo right now! Usually you'd be all over that shit. Stop being so inconsistent. Sure, cb serious internet business etc, but cmon mang, pull that crowbar out of your ass.

is there any possible way the 16 year old drama post or whatever can be closed?
It would be much appriciated

Also Kryo...I dont know what you have against me or even if you have anything agaisnt me because i sure as hell have nothing agaisnt you.
So can we tone it down just a tad?

ARE YOU STUPID THE ANSWER IS NO, IM NOT GOING TO BACK OFF TOUGH TITTIES YOUNG GRASSHOPPER JUST LOOSEN UP OKAY?

Im a tough cookie for the most part.
I honestly dont care if your just bringing me or something into the picture, but when you bring stephanie and when it bothers her then i get a little upset

He's bored and he's an ***hole. There's really nothing you can do but hope a mod does his/her job.

Well I sincerely apologize. Next time I will just post up a picture of, oh, Rosie.

i accept your apology

you should not post, though

wow tung, way to be a bitch about things. stop being so f*cking uptight
