Okay look now that I have your attention...lets talk business.

"Repeated offenders will be warned. If that isn't enough, you can expect to be banned."


First of all, your as odd of a siting to see posting on the forums then MM. You run these forums but you barely ever post or involved in anything. Despite this you go running around banning people and deleting post counts like a little [CENSORED].

What B00sta does:

Bans people for the most ridiculous reasons
Doesnt ban people because of favoritism and other reasons
Deletes post count for no reason
Gives little or no warnings. No posts warning a user about their bad conduct. Just comes over and bans them or deletes their post count.
Does not always post in sin bin like he should.

Seeing that he is the only one in charge of banning people everything lies in his lap and all eyes look towards him when somone is banned.

Account #1:
Myself. For 2 years I was tolerated. I did numerous things like posting referal links. I recieved a warning about posting referal links so I stopped. Other people did not recieve a warning. Moderators start [CENSORED]ing with me and changing my avatar. Is this tolerated by B00sta, apparently so. Once you get moderator status you can do anything you want apparently.
So I post a goatse picture after a moderator continued to screw with my avatar saying I was a moron. I deleted the link however I get banned a few days later without any notice. I come back I have muppet status and I lost all my posts. Where the [CENSORED] does posting in the bash pit get you to lose your post count.

Account #2:
People like rabble are banned for no reason. I spoke with him and he said he didnt know why he was banned and I never saw anything from him that needed a banning. I cant into too much detail because I do not know too much but I know he was banned for no reason whatsoever.

Account #3:
HHH got banned for an extra 27 days. Obviously B00sta was off drinking magaritas and thinking he was on christmas break from the forums. Hello, you committed yourself to the forums now stick with it and do what you are asked.

Account #4:
The origin of this post is mainly about the banning of viggalaggo. He was a nuisence sometimes on the forums however he posted a ton of maps for people. Now where are poeple going to get his maps? Cookie even mentioned how he was his favorite mapper. Cookie's brain is sometimes a little coocoo but most of the time he knows what he is talking about. How do you ban somone like that there was a little heat but it got settled. You ban people 3 days too late after everything gets solved. Again stop drinking your margaritas and do your job otherwise find somone else to do the job. Now that Viggalago is banned...the mapping forum will be a little bit better however people go there arent going to talk about flowers. They want a place to download maps. People who make maps want comments about their maps. viggalago gave them comments and if he was warned I believe he would learn not to talk about random [CENSORED].

That is all have a great day.

sadly, I'm not gonna read this and neither will anyone else

Great, because I really dont care of anyones opinion. I only want B00sta to fix his actions.

b00sta for super-admin!

i read it karmazon.......... DON'T HURT ME PLEASE!!1231thirty-1

b00sta for world leader!

I concur with SoulSnipa actually. b00sta knows too well i'm one to criticise him on irc, but although he's a nice and friendly guy, he does do a really crap job on this place. He just isn't admin-material.

you know I am!

Maybe he just don't got the time? I don't blame him =) go b00stA!

Kind of agreeing here, I've been made a mod and all I get is partial control over the weapons balance forum, which isn't even open. All I get is the ability to change avatars and sig images, and that gets a bit old.

This reminds me, someone needs to ban Belier 13. I was so happy when I found that he was to be perma-banned, but he's still here. He has never made a significant/useful/non-rude post in the entire time he has been here.

I don't really know what to say about b00stA as an admin, the only thing I have to complain about is how he made lots more mods. Even though most of them were put in for the Weapons-Balance forums, I can't really understand why some of them were given the mod-status. Perhaps there's a lot more to this and I'm just spewing more crap than SONY, but it seems like some of them just go around doing things for their own amusement (such as messing with the forum rules do make O RLY? an extreme offence). I know it's all in good fun and anyone who gets upset about it has a fence-post up their ass, but it just seems too out of place.

Er...anyone know how to get splinters out of a sphincter?

If anything, b00sta should ban more people. Soulsnipa, the world isn't fair. If you don't like what's going on in the forums, just write a long thread about how you hate everyone and state that you will never come back to the forums again...and then make an ass of yourself by continuing to post anyway.

And what the hell is all this about people wanting comments on their maps? Bull[CENSORED]. The mapping forum serves one purpose and one purpose only: to boost the ego of the mapper who just posted. Really, people post the most worthless crap in there and still get comments professing their love of the mapper and how much they want to waypoint for them -- despite the fact that none of them have ever even played on the map. You would get better responses from a group of well-paid sycophants than that mass of wasted grey matter.

Like your the mr mapmaker yourself that post maps there. I know when I post a map its there for open discussion, for people to download, and to show off...but it does not exclude either of those 3.

Go b00sta perhaps but go somone else who has more time.

plz?



and i read that.

EDIT: oh, and btw, vjich is right, i figured out a long time ago if you want to have a lot of posts, post in the mapping forums.

I never exempted myself from the rule, so stop behaving like a whining toddler. I posted there to contribute a little to the mapping community, and found out that the community is full of annoying children who wouldn't know how to make adequate criticism even if possessed. That's your community -- the one that you want to have meaningless discussions with, have them pretend to download your maps and comment as if they were trying to woo you, and to inflate your ego by being told that your collection of polygons is "10/10." Meanwhile, you and everyone else in there (save a few) will continue to post terrible maps that nobody will ever play without improving one bit...except perhaps in the efficiency and speed with which you pump out those maps.

So yes, I, "mr mapmaker" (you child), posted in the mapping forum. But, unlike you, I discovered how unbearable it was and skedaddled before the people in there became attached to me. Take your mapping forum and defend it all you please, I don't want any part of it.

lol you have 290 posts

lol soulsnipa is getting banned for talking bad about boosta.

lol Cramazon was wrong about most everyone here, i read it to.

lol admins have to have like no life.

lol, i like to say lol

lol double poster wants to be admin.

lol muppet. i wanted to be (note not actually 4 years old), but instead im just lousy captian.

lol pointing out funny things lol.

lol random spam

Go b00sta perhaps but go somone else who has more time.
wtf are u trying to say? Be direct please.

I'm saying I like boosta as a user but not as an admin.

And Victory-doodah perhaps you haven't visited the mapping forum in the while. How the [CENSORED] do you know who downloads the maps or not. Most people rate it from the overview however there are plenty of people who download the map to test them. Do you need proof?

Total Vists: 23 | Unique Visitors: 19 | Downloads: 41

That is for the map buriedgold on sml. It seems to me the map is pretty popular and your opinion should change.

Oy, Every one has there own opinion on the subject, it only gets out of hand when you force your opinions onto others. If you cant discuss issues like mature members, dont post.

It's funny how b00sta's been admin for about two months, and people start complaining.

Do you doubt his right? Each of his posts have contributed something to the community: he earned admin status by being one of the most helpfull guys here, he is never offensive or rude, and he never turns down anyone who asks him for help. Sure he's a bit pedo, but he's the nicest guy around here.

The newly appointed mods who don't like certain users had their fun, but that stuff comes to an end after b00sta says so, and judging by that your avatar hasn't been changed randomly in the past few weeks, I think he said so.

Rabble was banned because he posted pictures about Zambino's fake aimbot message, which contains a link to a furry-porn site ( If you don't know what that is, you are a happy man. ).
HHH has already passed a perma-ban using multiple accounts, and he was spamming when he got his ban. 3 could've been a typo, or just a crude admin joke. But I don't see him spamming now, so it worked.

About Vig: he has earned his ban with hard work. Not only was he warned numerous times by both forum members and grand_diablo, I've sent him a PM myself advising him to change his attitude, for it is ruining the already low-enough quality of the mapping forums. He hasn't even bothered reading it, and he has not changed at all: he continued his destructive behaviour, and so he got that ban.

Finally, I'd like to say some things about the mapping forums. If you think 41 downloads makes a map popular, then we are in a sad state my friend. How many people play this game? Thousands. How many people visit the forums? Hundreds. How many people play a quality custom map? Less than fifty. The overall attitude of the community sucks considering custom maps: they only post stupid numerical ratings in the mapping forums, or just say "It's [CENSORED] / I like it", but they don't have any constructive input. Heck, nowadays if someone gives constructive criticism, he gets flamed by other people.. the mapping scene is a pile of poo, and people like Vig aren't improving the situation, they are devolving it ( he flamed newbie mappers pointlessly instead of giving any criticism at all ).

Just my 2 cents.

I seriously hope Viggoloniggolo wasn't banned :|
Banning him would be just overlooking the main problem on the mapping forum. Viggoloniggolo when new to the forums was not welcomed at all, he posted all his maps in one topic and got flamed by everyone for it,,, Mainly all of the trolls. The map forum is generally full of these evil spammers. They either rave a map and post "Just another regular polyworks map" in every post, or there ends up with 20 posts suggesting a screenshot be added despite the rules require it be said once.
Viggoloniggolo was trying to do alot for the community, he spent large amounts of time on his maps and many of them had been very good or had shown unique styles that have been unseen in Soldat before. I think that the reason he posted rude comments on the map forums to other mappers was typically because he was harassed in his own map topics by the same people.

Personally I think the map mod needs to be changed to someone who can do a better job and opress the trolls so good mappers can be seen and not banned >.<

Demonic the problem wasn't Vig it was the community.. How would you respond and retaliate if in your first 10 topics you posted you were harassed and flamed.. where was grand diablo doing his work then? No warnings handed out to those people

Account one sucks ass because you posted goatse. You should've been perm banned. [CENSORED] you Soul and go die in a ditch. Lay off Amblin.

I think that it was a bit extreme.. To me it had seemed like he had finally conformed to the rules of the mapping forum. I honnestly don't understand why you would ban the most active mapper at the moment in the Soldat community....

Goofs... At least give him a sin bin post or a warning ban of 3 days with an outline of why he is banned so he can correct whatever issues upon return...

azn you know u love seeing that ass.

um, didnt get a pm
ViGGoLoNiGGoLo says:

ViGGoLoNiGGoLo says:

Please...if he was banned, I think it's a good thing, although should only be temporary. He's not as innocent as you keep making him out to be Cookie. He was warned, a few times, by a few of the mods. He was the first one to insult and instigate against some of the new mappers in their topics, constantly telling them he was better and bashing their maps needlessly. I don't think I need to paste any of the spam and crap he posted up there.

It's not a question of one or the other..it's both. The community acted poorly, and so did he. I think there are a few more people around those forums who deserve a warning for their spam, but the actions of others do not excuse Vigg from acting like such an ass. No one forced him to insult new mappers, no one forced him to spam, and no amount of flaming gives someone the right to be so rude. Just like no amount of insulting or nonsense gives you the right to post goatse. You (people in general) are accountable for your own actions so start acting like it, jesus...it's like people are living double lives. Yea, he got flamed, but he also flamed right back and did so plenty when it was unprovoked and unnecessary. He dragged that flaming into topics it had nothing to do with, and there's no reason for that. Where do you draw the line between these "big bad forums" and what he did of his own volition?

He was specifically warned by GD after he took the time to clean up one of Viggs mapping topics, and Vigg continued to post new maps in the topic instead of editing his first post. Maybe this had something to do with it?

If he can come back and keep his mouth shut to finally say something constructive, then bring him back. But is this issue really on topic?

Edit: Mind you, this says nothing about his maps. Some were bad, but others were pretty damn good, I agree. But his mapping skills aren't the issue here.

I thought you said you were going to leave after you got your iPod.

SoulSnipa, and Cookie` probably: Viggoloniggolo's maps were actually pretty good IMO. I didn't download a single one tho' because from what I believe it's not the map, it's the mapper. If he's so cocky and arrogant that he sticks "vig" in all of his map names and he said nothing good for other mappers' maps, giving none 7+/10, he really should try advertising somewhere else or get his act straight. He did neither, and didn't see why he should stop (or he was one of the smartest trolls I've encountered), so therefore he was banned.

You're complaining about how no one will be able to get his maps? He just copied & pasted stuff from SML, so people know he puts his maps there and if they ever want to try 'em out they can go to your site.

Nothing personal, BTW. Just providing my thoughts on Vig'.

Rabble: if that is true, im glad im banned because that is trueley messed up, i contributed to the comunity so much when i was there, and i thot i was doing a good deed telling the community about how an active forum member and player was acting, and he fakes the fact that he is hacking so he can do what he did to me... it really shows who is mature in this community and who isnt, all of you reading this, flame all that you like, but before you post anything just think twice, and look into it if it is somthing like i posted, and for me to be banend for this matter is embarressing to the community itself, because it truely shows that who ever banned me, takes in favor of the more "popular" vote, which is why zambino is not banned. I have been waiting for a good explanation for about a month on how i was banned, now that i see why i was, i want to seriously smack a cat. Pathetic. period.

Yes, he did type in default bold-face for his font.

I strongly think that he should be posting in the sin bin, that will clear up 99% of the confusion about everything.

As for the HHH thing, I'm pretty sure that was just a typo (3 versus 30) either in the post about him being banned (forgetting the 0) or when he was banning HHH he typed 30 by accident

I havent gone to the mapping forum recently and I probably wont. But if Vigologo was banned because he said bad stuff about others map... I believe thats bull[CENSORED], unless ofcourse he was going overboard with insults or whatnot.

I personally believe all teh trolls in the mapping forum should be banned that say "Omg lolz nice map", "Omg looks nice me downloads", "Wow NICE MAP", "Nice map dud3 l0l". And half of them never download the map..

Either that or just reduce their post count to 0... The mapping forum is pretty pathetic right now like Cookie already mentioned.

^Then what if he instead of saying """"""""""3 days banned"""""""""" he could've said 9 days banned and that would be 90 days for HHH.

Never said I couldnt come back, shortaznboy

I've read trough ALL the posts posted above mine.
I have some criticism on the whole happening here , just in general.

- b00sta is helpful AND lazy at the same time. I mostly agree with him when he punishes someone , though he is lazy in that way that others point him to the users instead of him finding them out.

- b00sta is the only admin , which isn't a good thing. Administrating a whole forum at your own is a tough job to do. I first laughed at the comment "Admins must have no life" , a bit after I kinda start thinking that they have to spend their day on SoldatForums indeed. Having more administrators would be a very good thing , each would have to spend 2 hours a day or 1 hour a day and the forum is administrated.

- The community labels too many people. These labels include registering date , postcount , stars or ranks and posts per day. I've seen NUMEROUS people pre-judging a player by that "Whoa , you only have 100 posts and you think ur blahblah?" or "Bah , you're only here for X days , what do you know about it?". A good thing would be to let the postcount be just a small note , not attached to a rank and stars. Instead of that you could have a 'vote' system , you simply click "Vote" and the user gets a point. Stars and Rank gets to be linked to the votes , so that people will only post useful stuff (Those who know the garry's mod forums know what I mean).
Also a 'warning' system would be fine , so you can punish people by increasing their warning points instead of reducing their postcount or 'votes' , then set rules like "3 warnings = 3week ban , second time 3 warnings = 3month ban , third time 3 warnings = permanent ban".

- I've noticed before that if someone wants to get up their postcount they should definitely start posting in the mapping area. Again , more mapping moderators would be a good thing to have in this case. There are tons of posts saying "Omg good" or "OMG bad" , which are DEFINITELY meant to increase postcount , even a baby can distinguish them. It just takes a whole lot of time to get trough them all etc. Reducing someone's postcount with -10 in case of obvious 'starhunting' would be effective here.

- Please be a little more friendly with those moderators and administrators. I haven't been flamed (yet) but I do notice alot of moderators (and admin) are getting flamed lately for doing no work. Those people do alot of work , not for themselves but for you. I think I'm the most inactive moderator at the moment so go ahead and start flaming me for that , I'm doing less work than the other moderators. Moderators and administrators ALSO have things to do outside Soldat , please consider that.

- As for 'not doing your job well'-comments I cannot argue about that since that's your own opinion. But what i do know is that an administrator or moderator also has to use his personality , if he thinks that a topic isn't appropriate he has the RIGHT to punish the poster for it. Setting someone as a moderator also includes checking that ability.

Grtz , DePhille

Do we need more admins? b00sta IS lazy and sometimes, I don't agree with his decisions (vigginiggolo being one of them), but he doesn't abuse his power, doesn't do stupid pointless stuff (often), and frankly, I like him as a person.

Maybe, if, instead of ranks being based on post counts, they actually meant something. Like, higher rank = more privelages and whatnot, and to gain ranks, you should actually have contributed to the community or at least be well liked, instead of spamming for stars.

That way, anyone of authority or power would have been selected for better reasons that just being tight with the current admin. Fascists :P

some of the stupid [CENSORED]s on this forum can have a vote orgy with each other.

I basically agree with everything Dephille said.

We need more moderators in the mapping and improvments forum that will take action quickly.

Or you could just set it so that each post in the mapping forum sets your count back one post. That way, you get rid of spammers and only have people who really care to contribute. This, obviously, has it's faults with new members and those that want to lower their post count...but I don't think there are enough people like that to really make a difference.

I love GD, but he really isn't active enough to do it all on his own.

Geo for rock mod.

I might add that he got flamed after reacting very hostile to ppl who _adviced_ him to use the edit button and post his maps in different threads or a more organized way. He mightve asked for help on how to do that, or googled for it (yes, there are forum faqs out there), but instead of that he chose a way of harsh confrontation. If forum newbs refuse help like that, then they shouldnt be wondering about unfriendly reactions from other people.

quote:Personally I think the map mod needs to be changed to someone who can do a better job and opress the trolls so good mappers can be seen and not banned >.<

Personally I think, people shouldnt be graded by their maps only. Sure, vig posted lots of maps, and some of them were of good quality, but it didnt keep him from behaving like a little kid.

quote:Demonic the problem wasn't Vig it was the community.. How would you respond and retaliate if in your first 10 topics you posted you were harassed and flamed.. where was grand diablo doing his work then? No warnings handed out to those people


I did take my notes, and one of them was that vig actually provoked most of the hostile reactions. There is no sense in warning 10 people, if the one who is claimed to be a victim seems to enjoy all the flame, cause he puts even more gas into the fire. People who at least try to communicate and let themselves get helped usually dont get flamed, not even by the trolls (I dont see that many of them in the mapping forums btw). Surely there are a lot of rather senseless 1-line comments on maps, but thats the way it usually goes in every forum. Many people judge from the overview only and cant or dont want to write half a page for a map rating. Others do like to post detailed criticism. Its not a mod-based issue, all I can do in this direction is to set up guidelines in the mapping forums. Itd be contraproductive to force people to write long comments on maps

Besides that, I dont always warn people publicly, the fact that I dont comment on every misbehaviour does not mean that I dont recognize it.

Tho, I admit that the issue came to my attention a bit delayed, but thats cause of personal reasons I already explained.

Id like to mention that its not always an easy thing to find the borderline between "almost not tolerable behaviour" and "not tolerable behaviour". Sure, those who flamed vig several times didnt behave right either, but as long as he was "feeding the trolls", it was more him to face the consequences. Its been a long time since I saw user who was provoking that way. And he was the first user who made 4 other members pm me, with 3 of em claiming to do sth. against his behaviour.

PS: I did - altho I announced it - not request a permban against vig. He was tempbanned for 5 days by b00stA shortly ago, after he was warned via PM already shortly after new year's eve (but didnt bother to react on pms).

EDIT: Its a good thing when someone creates a lot of maps, but if its SUCH a huge mass, id be better to post them all in one or a few wraps instead of spamming the mapping forums with new topics like crazy. It simply pushs down maps of people who dont create such a lot of maps.

im not talking about the mass of maps in this incidence, Soul.

The annoying thing was, that he replied on other peoples posts by creating multiposts up to eight time instead of just editing his answers into a former posting or waiting sometime so he could answer to all the postings in one new posting. This mightve looked like starhunting to some people.

The other problem was, that even inside his own threads he created a new post for each map and stuffed it with huge bmp overviews, which made his threads annoyingly slow to load and completely messed up the overview. This is basically what ppl criticised in there before the flame wars started, they adviced him to use the edit button, yet he reacted with pure hostility.

He was certainly in need of help with the forum controls, but instead of taking the advice or further asking he insulted those who wanted to aid him. His turnaround to a more-or-less-neutral attitude came a bit too late (as the tempban was already requested), I hope that he learns from the short break for his owns sake.

I think everyone should know, that creating good maps doesnt give anyone the right to encounter other people in such an arrogant manner as vig did. If he continues acting in such an immature way after the ban gets lifted again, Id rather risk losing a good mapper than tolerating his one-man-flamethrower show.

1) Did I say anything about my personal post count. I was talking about Vigagalogo.
2) I dont care about my post count, but im pointing out that people are getting their post counts deleted for no reason.
3) Anything you say does not matter.
4) You post the most spam out of anyone.
5) I dont understand your point.
6) You suck at making an argument.
7) You give your asian brothers a bad name.

Then stop b*tching about your post count being reset.

You're a funny man.

It simply pushs down maps of people who dont create such a lot of maps."

Initially thats what he did and everyone complained about it because he posted each in a new post. I think people thought he was star hunting but the only place he really ever posted was in the map forum :P


exactly, u really think he cared about his post count, that is just an excuse the mods come up with. O he was starhunting so we can ban him.


im not talking about the mass of maps in this incidence, Soul.

The annoying thing was, that he replied on other peoples posts by creating multiposts up to eight time instead of just editing his answers into a former posting or waiting sometime so he could answer to all the postings in one new posting. This mightve looked like starhunting to some people.

The other problem was, that even inside his own threads he created a new post for each map and stuffed it with huge bmp overviews, which made his threads annoyingly slow to load and completely messed up the overview. This is basically what ppl criticised in there before the flame wars started, they adviced him to use the edit button, yet he reacted with pure hostility.

He was certainly in need of help with the forum controls, but instead of taking the advice or further asking he insulted those who wanted to aid him. His turnaround to a more-or-less-neutral attitude came a bit too late (as the tempban was already requested), I hope that he learns from the short break for his owns sake.

Well dont take anything personal but here is how I see it.

Ok...in my mind its like a bus going 70mph and screeching on its breaks. HOLD UP a second.

1)Let me restate more clearly: He does not care about his post count.
2) Starhunting is only true because there are forum ranks, get rid of his post count...he would still post the same way.
3) He was new, and needed to learn the way of the forums. People are ignorant sometimes but that is not how you treat a new user.
4) People are creating new maps, ok well viggalogo is making new posts. You dont ban people for making [CENSORED]ty maps so why should you ban people for making [CENSORED]ty posts. [CENSORED] it people who make new maps dont read tutorials and are ignorant in that way, what gives them the right to post their maps on the forum. Obviously thats ridiculous, but what gives you any right to base any of your banning on viggalago's actions of ignorance to learn the forum rules. Maybe ban him from everywhere but the new maps forums, but there are no other places people will go to download and see his maps. He is a good mapper keep him part of the community dammit.
5) Take a damn look around, look at how people treat people like myself. Maybe I have an offensive tone but would you ever think that it is because of the way I get treated on here. Look back when I first was here before all the stupid [CENSORED]s. I was just as helpful and people didnt mind me and the community was a better place.
6) If your so concerned at flamethrower shows then look at some of the people who talk to me. I wont point any fingers but it is obvious you they are. If you really wanted this forum to be peaceful....look at some of the 'vets' who treat the newcomers like [CENSORED].

2) I dont care about my post count, but im pointing out that people are getting their post counts deleted for no reason.



(Double-post combined, and it seems that in your case, the older you get, the less reasoning you have, so "little boy" doesn't seem to be that bad of an insult. Remember to leave your ego at home next time, macho man. - Kazuki)

What is wrong with you, Soulsnipa?

It's like you're on a bad acid trip.

You're making huge manifestos out of what I consider a small problem. Vigglogloinigolo has a temporary ban, so he'll have time to think about WHY he was banned. It will work out for the best.

You're going into huge nonsensical rants and, in the process, forgetting basic grammar rules and spewing random insults.

Also...

"You dont ban people for making [CENSORED]ty maps so why should you ban people for making [CENSORED]ty posts."

You made my day with that little snippit.

I am by no means in any position to suggest myself forward, but I think it'd be appropriate to declare that the MetaNet forum (which revolves around the game N), which I am an admin of, has 2 other admins along with numerous moderators and there are still occasional outbreaks of randomness that can't be put down easily.

I highly suggest another, possibly more active admin.

Id like to know myself. [spoiler](the community)[/spoiler]

Rambo_6, I havent really noticed soulsnipa throwing out random insults.. he seems to have valid points.

The funny thing here is, aznbl00d would bring up postcounts when according to what ive noticed, hes one of the bigger trolls here. Soulsnipa mentioned his postcount being deleted, but thats not his main point like aznbl00d seems to have brought it to. Maybe you should have read the other parts of his post to notice what point he was trying to make.

But the saddest thing in all of this is, there are people on the first page of this topic making thier little sarcastic remarks(look at the first 5-6 posts of this topic), most likely hoping to get a lol from the good ole #soldat.forums crew. I bet that will truly make them feel better. This is what this forum is now. You have someone trying to make a point, then you have these people spamming the thread with stupid remarks(and they always get to the threads first for some reason) and then the real point is missed and the whole thread or topic becomes a load of bull[CENSORED]. Is someone like vigologo any worst than these people? I dont think so. And its not only this topic. Just look at every other forum, you will probably notice these same people trying to act funny with thier little bits of "humour".

quote:1)Let me restate more clearly: He does not care about his post count.
1)I never said he did, I just mentioned it looked like that.

quote:2) Starhunting is only true because there are forum ranks, get rid of his post 2) count...he would still post the same way.
see 1), his post count doesnt really concern me

quote:3) He was new, and needed to learn the way of the forums. People are ignorant sometimes but that is not how you treat a new user.
3) New users usually dont insult those who try to help em. Its his own fault if he doesnt understand this basic rule of communication in a new environment.

quote:4) People are creating new maps, ok well viggalogo is making new posts. You dont ban people for making [CENSORED]ty maps so why should you ban people for making [CENSORED]ty posts. [CENSORED] it people who make new maps dont read tutorials and are ignorant in that way, what gives them the right to post their maps on the forum.

4) By joining these forums and posting in the mapping forum he is supposed to have at leasted taken a short look at the rules - and most forums on the whole wide web require the netiquette to be obeyed. If the new maps forum is the only place for him to publish his maps, he should stick to the rules of this place. In case he does not, any punishment is a consequence based on his own faults.

6)Take a look at the way you talk to them and how youve acted recently, you're not really wondering about how some people treat you...? And dont come up with anything like "but THEY started", cause it wont lead us to anything constructive.

Btw. I find most of the "mapping vets" (I wont expand this discussion to any of the other forums cause theyre not my business) to be quite friendly and helpful to newbies. Some rather few members have problems at times, to express constuctive criticism, but those are usually newer members and not the vets.

How I've acted recently? Okay, again not pointing any fingers..heres how a typical SoulSnipa post goes.... I make a topic in the forum. I make valid points/state my opinion/etc., or at least try to in the best way of my knowledge. My topic either gets spammed or I get insulted or flamed, or all of the above. I reply with further spam and further insults. Yes, I'm at fault, but if they would just mind their own business or take the insults elsewhere then the forums would be a better place.

I understand that some posts of mine in the past have been crude or ridiculous, however there is no right for other users to have special privelages over me because of things in the past.

Please allow us to review Soul's post in this topic:

LOL oh my I be Starhunter now. Thanks for showing everyone my joke post. Notice I posted that after the recent discussion of this topic.

Since you become more stupid by the minute aznblood, let me clear some things up:
It was a one time post ordeal, I never post anything using 00 as o's.
Where the hell would I get a fraction like 9.53234/10....if I was truly making a legit stereotyped mapping post I would make a post like:

Map Looks awesome, must download!
My rating: 9/10, Great Job!


Let me repeat for you #2-7:

2) I dont care about my post count, but im pointing out that people are getting their post counts deleted for no reason.
3) Anything you say does not matter.
4) You post the most spam out of anyone.
5) I dont understand your point.
6) You suck at making an argument.
7) You give your asian brothers a bad name.

Don't act so innocent, sheesh...do you forget half the immature stuff you say? You must. You have good topics, but many rapidly degenerate into argueing and flaming with plenty of help on your part, not just all these big bad forumers who don't like you. Argue all you want, but Vig wasn't banned for the quality of his posts or his post count, he was banned because he refused to take advice offered in posting his work, insulted those who tried to help him, as well as flamed new mappers for no reason whatsoever. Anyone doing that sort of thing should get the boot.

On that note Geo for rock/map mod.

Edit: If you're really mature than stop trying to insult someone because they're Asain. Just makes you look like a really ignorant person, and I know how much you believe in the things you say online being true to self..

Anyways, i agree with Soul. The community was much better during the 1.1.5 days and earlier. Still, i don't see why you're getting worked up over a few silly things. So what if your avatar got changed? It's all in good fun. If you can't take a joke, then maybe you should start smoking more pot. Viglgoglgoinglo was banned for what i beleive was a valid reason. It does not matter if he made the best maps ever, he insulted people who wanted to help him, and he disobeyed some very simple rules. His ban was temporary, so let him sit out his punishment, maybe learn a lesson about proper forum attitudes, and then we can get back to our 'lives'.

Boosta has to deal with a constant stream of crap on these forums. Since Soldat is very well known on the internet, i'd imagine these forums get more and more traffic. I've figured out the simple equation for this kind of thing: The more traffic a forum gets, the stricter the policies. Take the Gmod forums for example. Plenty of people are seemingly banned for no good reason, with no way of disputing their ban. Although not all the bans seem fair, in retrospect the people did deserve some form of punishment. These serve as good wake up calls more than anything. Maybe, just maybe, Vigolonigolo was ignoring a few simple rules, which i might add, are quite easy to access and read?


EDiT: for the record... :P

I always liked you rambo sex.

This isn't personal or anything. I'm only making a massive post here to clear up any 'ifs'.

Boosta may have been a tad slackish. Perhaps more posts in the sin bin to put some meaning behind bans/punishments, and another admin would help the productivity of these forums.

There are plenty of people who'd like to help out, i am sure.

Make sure they are agreed upon....I wouldnt mind seeing chakra as admin.

Well, i got unbanned somehow with no reason on to why i was banned, and i had 2 delete my cookies to get back in the forums... And im sure i was supposed 2 know that?? Ne hows im glad 2 be back after ide say a month and a half, alot has changed, w.e...

See, if you said that on the Garry's Mod forums, you'd be banned.

Heavy MSN/IRC talk isn't tolerated. I'm beginning to think that should be the case in most forums. Although you could still say 'lol' or 'wtf', you would be limited to like 3 per post. I think that's fair, no?

are u saying the use of abbreviations isnt tolerated...now thats retarded.

Guys,
Mods are just like any other member of the forum. They're only the police, and they're there to help bring peace and make sure everything is running smoothly. If a mod isn't doing his job, i think he should be kicked out of the forum.
Forums are just places where people can put their ideas and stuff. IMO it doesn't matter whats in the post. Its a community, not a concentration camp. I think people shouldn't be strictly limited.

Well I personally agree about the MSN/AIM talk.

" Yo R u going 2 cum here 2morrow?"... Thats just stupid.

its not just msn/aim talk though, its internet talk. It originated because of laziness not only in chats like that but in fact in any chat. This aint no english forum.

quote:Originally posted by Soulsnipa This aint no english forum.

Actually it is an English forum...read the general rules, which the lounge rules follow.

Edit: From the general rules:

Post in English only

Posts should be in English only. Non-English posts will be removed. If a message is unreadable due to spelling and / or grammar, it may be removed. We don't ask you to be a 'Spelling Bee' champion, or an English Major, only that you post messages that are legible.

For all i know, b00sta's fine. I never see him posting anything but helpfull 1-line replies though, but that's also cool by me.

If these things you say about b00sta are true, i think he should consider leaving the admin post to someone else. You say he hasn't got alot of time? Fair enough, i respect that as well, but then you shouldn't take charge of this hole forum. He could become an admin, or even a regular member. it's really not so bad! =P Seriously, how come we have an admin that nobody likes? doesn't make sence to me. How about a vote?

geogolist so u are saying u cant understand what im saying right now? Same with the majority of users? BS

I just corrected you about your statement about the nature of the forum...stop jumping to conclusions about what I believe. As far as you know I don't agree with Rambos statement. Don't get so arguemetnative, sheesh.

quote:Originally posted by The Geologist/me whistles a pirate tune


the only pirate tune you know is "pirate's life for me" and that's not even a pirate song.

You call that a song. Ha ! Well I'll give ya a bleedin' song !

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike
The bosun brained with a marlinspike
And cookey's throat was marked belike
It had been gripped by fingers ten;
And there they lay, all good dead men
Like break o'day in a boozing ken
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

b00sta's been around for a hell of a lot longer than most of us have. He's experienced as a moderator and I believe he helped Styx out a lot back when he was a moderator. Styx trusts b00sta the most, and that is why he has given b00sta the position. If you don't like b00sta, then that's your problem. I do respect you for bringing this up. I suppose most people wouldn't bother.

I haven't exactly been following this whole ban ordeal, so I wouldn't know anything about it. However, I really don't think that the community can provide anyone that is better-suited for the position than b00sta is. That's as simple as it can get, I suppose.

Also, it's ironic that you double-posted even after Grand Diablo talked about the many consecutive posts and how they annoyed him. Well ... guess I better go fix that up. Double-post combined, iPod-lover. :P

Kazuki for admin!

UNBANN MY FIRSTT ACCOUNT.

*crickets*

Erm...

UNBAN HIS FIRST ACCOUNT.......isnt that mercym?

Meh, perhaps I'm slack...
B00sta has always done a good job after the departure of Styx. He cleaned up the forums, fixed the filters and enforced the rules by recruiting a few hard yet helpful moderators, and then... yeah.
The forums may have not exactly been going downhill, but I can't say they've been aiming for the clouds either. B00sta comes, does his job, and then kinda dissapears.
Supposebly it would be right to say that B00stas good but hes lazy. Even then, it all cracks down to b00stas choice... Will he recruit more help, sacrifice more of his day or just keep going the way he is?

But hey, what do I know?

BAN HIS THIRD(?) ACCOUNT.

Actually, I forgot to give my opinion on the whole internet abbreviation thing. I think that they're completely unnecessary. To me, people who type with internet abbreviations seems to be very hurried to get somewhere, when they really aren't. For the love of God, spare those extra few seconds to make your messages literate. Also, try saying "lol" after every thing your friends say outside of the internet and see how many friends you have by the end of the week.

exactly, he's the only moderator who is still here since this forum's creation. That is why Styx made him an admin. He trusted him. B00sta may not be the best admin out there, but he does his job decently. If you wanna ban sb why won't you (moderators) vote about it? You have your own forum where you can do such things.

sometimes it is more of a habit then anything.

@dascoo
Yes, that's my first.

@frogboy
NUU DON'T BAN MY FOURTH ACCOUNT

First of all, I could manage things completely different. Remember, I'm german.

You run these forums but you barely ever post or involved in anything.
I wonder where those 4000 posts come from.. I must have spammed or used my almighty admin powers.
It is a mystery.

Despite this you go running around banning people and deleting post counts like a little [CENSORED].
As DePhille said, I decide what to do, however I do not ban people for no reason, nor do I just delete post counts.

Gives little or no warnings.
If someone posts porn or things like goatse, lemonparty etc. he IS BANNED. No warning.
Someone is spamming the whole forums? Banned.
However if someone is just doing some mistakes, like viggalaggo, he is warned.
I PMed him with a warning after GrandDiablo told me about it. He didn't react at all, so he got a TEMPORARY ban: 12 Jan 2006 till 18 Jan 2006.
I'm sorry that I haven't been using the Sin Bin, I should have done that to clear things up.

#1 I come home, read that you had goatse as your avatar and simply banned you. I am guessing you learnt your lesson?

#2 There seems to be a bug, be it forum or browser related, where people get banned because of invalid cookies. There's pretty much nothing I can do, maybe styx can look into it.
If someone knows he is innocent (or not) and is unsure what/why it happened, feel free to ask me or ask others to ask me.

#3 I most likely messed up, but I don't regret it or anything. HHH saw it coming anyway and you know it.

I may not be a really active poster, however if I was to start posting for the sake of posting, I'd be spamming.
I try to help with bugs, but I'm not interested in the suggestion topic of your choice.
Having been a moderator for at least 3 years. 3 years of visiting the forums almost every single day.
Somewhere along the way you simply become less interested.

Kazuki - clearly you've never been to denmark. 1337 speach has become a national epidemic! Youngsters are lolling around, not even knowing what it means. It's become "cool" to say lol, and as a result, i dare say 1/5 of all danes use it on a regular basis. This insanity just won't stop! Imagine telling a joke to everyone in denmark, and every fifth kid you tell, says nothing but.. LoL! regardless of how fun it is.
One fifth of denmark is unable to laugh. Well, they know how to Laugh Out Loud, but..
AAAARGH!
You get the point!

#1 I come home, read that you had goatse as your avatar and simply banned you. I am guessing you learnt your lesson?

And that justifies the moderators playing their little joke? That justifies deleting my post count? That justifies me as a muppet?

..no, it doesn't justify a joke. What do you want me to do about it?
How about a pay cut for the guilty moderator?

Wait, why am I defending myself?

1) You can have a chat with them and even remove them. They shouldnt be abusing any powers just as a user should not abuse his posting powers. Same ordeal.

2) You still havent answered refering to my post count. There wasnt a reason to delete my posts. Was I a serious spammer? Ive been around for 2+ years....that would mean I should have 2500 or so posts if I posted like you.

3) Because you should care about your credibility as an admin that has already been questioned by a few users in this thread already.

What about 4) You just might have a big stick up your butt since it was you who got dealt with, instead of someone else?

Would you really be so passionate about the subject if you didn't have personal issues with the matter?

Who cares if it is me or someone else, it happened and it shouldnt happen to ANYBODY. It's only because it happened to me that I am able to point it out. I dont know what happens to other people enough to defend them but I sure as hell can defend myself once I have experienced it.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MY POST COUNT :(

See...b00sta is attacking everyone now.

Because of you. Just shut the [CENSORED] up dude.

Is this forum in that bad of a state?

"OH [CENSORED], I JUST LOST 200 POSTS" Better go put a bullet through your head now shouldn't you?

You can still post, you can still talk, I suggest you just quit your [CENSORED]ing and go about your buisness.

"Oh no I'm a Muppet" who the hell cares? are you going to get flamed by someone who doesn't know you for having it say Muppet instead of some military status?

b00sta, you are greatness

No

Yes

No, it was 900

No

Yes

No, you can't talk or post?

Really, why does it matter if it says muppet?

To be honest i didn't realize that was your status until you brought attention to it.

Now someone will put SOULSNIPA IS A MUPPET in their sig because of you! :0

Suicide by police! Swiss cheese! 61!

Edit: Yea i saw that one coming..

o:
Soulsniper is a muppet!

I think he meant "No, I'm not gonna quit my [CENSORED]ing and go about my buisness"...

It'd be really great if that was the case.

And thats real professional....

I'm now additional admin for soldat forums.

Soulsnipa, you're now banned for 13.5 seconds. I hope this gives you time to think on proper behaviour here. Outcast is the most professional school-dodging soldat-playing junkie this side of Spectral's sex appeal, so have some respect.


And for my first trick, i'll lock this topic. Can't have admin-bashing going on while i'm one and in charge.
