[micron]

so kryo (james) wants to speak but complained to me that his topics are always being closed... so lets hear him out. also staff, why dont you openly discuss here about the problems kryo is causing. maybe by having the opposing views come together like this we'll be able to find a middle ground.

if you wish to participate, keep in mind that communication is a two way street. when two opposing views clash, it doesnt neccessarily mean one is entirely right and the other entirely wrong. try to be open minded, consider the opposing view(s), be honest, admit to wrongdoings when wrong, and hopefully together we'll be able to get to the bottom of this.

please keep away from personal attacks. if this topic becomes one big staff bashing thread, its going to be closed. a little tact never hurts, so lets try use this as an opportunity to learn from and understand each another.

Well, Sandra, link me to them, and I'll see what I can do. Being as we can't in fact go back in time and undo his warning, that sems to be the only way to even that particular grievance out.

LOL no. The mods were wrong. I'd like them to admit they were wrong now and apologize. Why should I stop if I didn't do anything wrong?

The mods are keeping an eye on the people, but who's keeping an eye on the mods. What I am doing is keeping them honest. I am doing nothing wrong but it seems the problem the mods have is me bringing their abuses to light. Too bad they can't close this topic.

The thing is, James, is that there are people who do feel that you were doing something wrong. In the same way that you feel that they were. Which is why we should just call 'water under the bridge.' Unfortunately, there isn't a right or wrong here to cling to, however much we would all like to 'win.'

As far as 'keeping them honest' goes, given that you keep finding new offenses, you don't seem to be having much success; perhaps it would be more accurate to say that you are 'keeping them mildly irritated.' And that's not because no one has listened to you, or because we're too stupid to understand, or whatever, but rather because some just don't agree with you. No one has a problem with mod 'abuses' being brought to light. Just look at Robbi and Diana's recent escapade. It is merely a question of what constitutes abuse.

Oh, and Suzzette could have closed this topic whenever she wanted, so I'm not sure where that comes from.

You guys are wrong.

Just because people were angry because they ASSUMED he was posting real spoilers is NOT a warnable offense. People being angry is not a reason to warn anyone. The approach here needs to be totally objective, and not based on the emotions of a bunch of 14 year olds because their favorite series might be ruined. That's the most retarded thing I have heard in a really long time.

He should not have even received a verbal warning, or requests for him to stop doing what he was doing. He was speculating. That's not a rule. Just because you make it a rule to validate your own selfish need to subjecate him to OVERLY harsh treatment does not make it okay to warn him whenever you feel he's pissed off another member.

I honestly think you guys are taking the things he's doing a lot more seriously than you would if someone else did the same thing, just because of his history with the community.

Some people just dont rub others the right way. Are you going to warn everyone in the forum that has "incompatable" personalities as everyone else? I wasn't aware that there was a cB aryan race defining people that get along with EVERYONE else, because all they do all day is kiss everyones asses.

I didnt agree when people were calling you guys a bunch of nazis earlier, but now I see what's been happening here.

So, you don't think we ought to ask someone to stop if they are visbly causing upset to other members? That's the broader issue, whether or not it's related to spoilers specifically, or to somethig else. Look, we can't undo what was done, and if the mod in question was acting in what they saw to be the best interest of the community, then they shouldn't be forced to apologize for that. Unless, of course, James is willing to apologize for causing upset. But both of those are personal decisions.
