Look for "Satirik" post.

What the hell, there was no need to even post in there, that id the wank that needs moderation. I'm so fedup of this forum.

This is exactly the type of post that pisses me off because every single post I've read from you in the last month has been pessimistic/negative/non-constructive/moaning.

If you hate the forums, leave perhaps?

Grow a thicker skin.

Back to the topic at hand? You're making me think withdrawing the one week limit was a poor decision on my part.

Oh really has it? Check the Linux forum then, or maybe not, you would poison that with the crap you post.

My post are more constructive than most peoples, including your own.

I do not wish to leave the forum considering the large amount of decent helpful topics, besides i may even be helping to build the new website. Whgich we are discussing on this forum.

TBH we're talking about the wrong thing.

What we need to be considering is forum culture. In a good forum culture, we wouldn't have problems with one-liner off-topic posts like the Satirik one you pointed out. Moderation can't really enforce a certain culture; it has to come from the forum members themselves.

Unfortunately, it seems that nobody is willing to give up their egos and lulz-hunting and stop making off-topic, antagonistic, useless, or other posts of that nature. If there's no general willingness to do this, it makes it tough for people who do want that sort of culture to do so. I don't think we have anyone here with the patience of a saint.

I don't know of any way to reform the culture aside from mass bans of everyone who doesn't step into line, and having the moderators go all Gestapo doesn't seem like a good thing for the forum.

The vast majority of us are willing to simply ignore those sorts of posts and dismiss them as harmless albeit tactless posts. Those posts such as satiriks are a non issue and don't need to be discussed, that lies in the realm of net ettiquette.

err, I don't want to get into another tiff about your posting habits, but you are one of the ones who needs to improve most at ensuring that your posts are helpful, friendly, and on-topic, at responding to debate in a non-antagonistic manner, and at ignoring very off-topic things.

I suggest you buy one of these and reread your post:

Trying to play games will only get you burnt, I suggest you stop posting, there's nothing to reply to here that wouldn't result in something considered moderatable or off topic.

This thread is going in circles, i'm just going to leave the forums. Bye.

I never claimed sainthood. I was pointing out glaring inconsistencies in your posts.

Thanks for proving me right, however!

I think this thread has served its purpose, but neddie may feel differently...

I apologize for not pointing this out sooner... but pointing out hypocrisies does not disprove someone's point.
