Aussie loves to tweak noses as well..right or wrong the Gmod Brainfart thread was having a go at a new mod- he will get a reaction if he does that, one way or another, human nature to react ..

Yes Aussie is a stirrer, but there has and always will be criticism of moderators by various members. They eventually learn to grow a thicker skin, but if every thread with a criticism was deleted - the forum would be empty.

Incorrect. The Thread contained no criticism, just facts. But, that is now water under the bridge, as the Thread is gone and no explanation has been given.

(BTW, if anyone gets far more than his fair or unfair share of criticism as a 'Mod', it is me. I do not react by deleting the comments.)

"facts" lol - you love the drama- the trolling- you encourage it- you thrive on it- why complain about receiving criticism - if this forum contained no trolling it would be dead. Roll Eyes

to be honest I think this thread will create more interest.....I am waiting for it to disappear.....

as it is mantra some behavior on here is driving people away...maybe you havent noticed....but some folks feel picked on....and they are not in the position aussie and others are in...where he can start threads in his own patch...and can even post in feedback...us mere mortals dont have that protection...and or privilege we dont have a private little place to go and plead our case....we can only do it in public..........where one then runs the risk of being told they are the forums worst abuser........and or vicious .. with not one gmod coming out and calling it personal abuse...lololol....in fact they agreed....so you can guess how safe I feel on here mantra...

That's your mere opinion, and does not reflect reality. Other people impute motives which simply are not there. I'm all for accountability and fairness, and you can't/will not get that living on your knees.

why complain about receiving criticism

That's a good example of precisely what I just said, so ~ Show me where I complained?

Quote:

I doubt people truly understand what that word means.

Please cut the new moderators a little slack and understand that they are picking things up and finding their way at the start.
I think they are doing a decent job but they deserve everyone to be a little understanding.

Every decision I have seen them take has been with the best intention to make the forum a place where people can post their views and not be subject to abuse.

Sure, so why not tell us why the Thread was removed, and who removed it? Members can then come (or not) to that very conclusion you have described. However, keeping people in the dark leads to the alternate (and obviously reasonable) conclusion that things are being covered up because the motive behind the removal may not have been as you describe, and, instead, something far less worthy.

If what you say is correct Mr Hicks, why doesn't the GMod (if it was a GMod) post here that he removed it, why he removed it, in doing so, he concedes he stuffed up, he should not have not it, and he has learned from the experience?

we dont get cut anything andrei.. when was the last time we were told why we were banned???>..

they is it ok for a gmod to start personal threads.....

when if a thread is started about gmods.. it get disappeared..

and not by any of the members?????????

you talk about a level playing field when there is no such thing on here.....

we are all for fair play...

do you not think that that should also apply to the mods.. mods of anykind that is?..

I have said it before.. if you treat us like children then expect some to behave that way...

I also like to be treated with respect.
