Thats enough. This ends now.

[Ambrai]

Over the past week I have sat here and taken beating after beating, and I am through with this drama.

I have always moderated this board without bias, noone can state otherwise.

I have always followed the letter of the rules presented.

I have always taken into consideration the 'majoritys' opinion on subjects.

I have consistantly moderated and removed flames when they appeared. I have always been hesitatant to block flames at us but this is getting out of control.

Tomeeboy, Gideon and myself work hard to provide you with a wonderful resource for PSO and civil boards. The rules on the boards are strict, they are that way to prevent them from becoming 'whineplay' or 'flamefest 01'.

Some of you dont agree with the way I moderate. Thats fine, everyone is entitled to their opinion. And as such you should contact me with any concerns or problems you have. Flaming on a board does not get what you want as a result, you have noticed that. All that happens is increased tension between parties involved.

This board belongs to Gideon and Tomeeboy, I am an Admin, but a voluenteer. My goal and purpose is to provide a clean and productive forum system, and to date it is. Part of that idea is to listen to feedback provided by the users of this board. If you dont like something, you should contact me through PM or at [email protected].

There will always be issues that will arise that some people will feel strongly about. I strongly recommend that you discuss the matter with the rest of the board. As you have noticed, flames are removed.

*sigh*

Now for a tender subject. The flaming of the PSO World staff needs to stop. From this point forward I will treat it as a normal flame and it will be removed or locked. I didnt want to do this but it seems unavoidable.

If you are curious as to what the board guidelines are you can find them here.

Please just remember, I am a very open person. I will always listen to what you have to say, even if I disagree. My email is always open and you can email me with any concern, no matter how trivial and I will get back with you.

Again, please be considerate of the people who work hard to bring you this site and the forums, and your fellow gamers.

Thank you,

Ambrai X`Viento

Unfortunately, that is the price of popularity . The more who follow you, the more who hate you . Truly a shame .

[Sheogorath]

I think you are doing a fine job. I've been banned from so many boards ive lost count. Gamefaqs for posting a Rom site URL, Planet Dreamcast for telling a PSX loyalist where to go and what to place in his pants, and most of interplay's game-specific boards for nothing more then disagreeing with a moderator. (And onc efor impersonating one..hehe)

You won't hear any complaints from me.

[Scorpio]

I'm all for a discussion, but you are right, the flamming has to stop. Anyway, I think you're doing a good job, keep it up.

[Medina2k]

I havent posted much but you are always going to have problems like flaming man.. if you remove them, i have no problem with that... you are just doing your job.. and about the kids man, ban that kid. grrr

[VulpesMundi]

You're doing a wonderful job (IMHO), Ambrai. I'm a regular at GameFAQs, and this place is lenient compared to that. The people who just don't understand or don't know how to have fun need to find some other way to vent themselves. And for the rest of us who're enjoying the ride... on we go.

[Gilder]

Even though it's far from neccesary, I figured I'd add some of my own words...

I don't post here often, but I do frequent this site and board daily, if I have the time. During my times here, I've seen flames, either towards other people, or to the staff members themselves. People, if you have a problem with a person or a staff member, there's no need to make it public. No one cares who you have a problem with, or who you're using the latest trashtalk on, so keep it to yourself, now and forever, where it belongs.

And to the staff members, keep on doing a great job on this site.

Just wanted to say in the past month or so I have been on PSO World, I find these forums excellent.

I usually never post on boards because they are usually a flamefest where no real info is shared.

Hell, go look at Gamefaqs PSO board

Keep it up

Ambrai - You are doing a terrific job. PSO World is the ONLY place I'd ever consider for getting PSO information. Gamefaqs.com is full of Sharkers and other common cheaters. Of course, some enjoy tweaking a game to death for any advantages. And that is fine from my standpoint, as long as it doesn't directly interfere with my gameplay. I personally find cheating a quick bore. Playing this game legit is far more invigorating. It generates a nice feeling of genuity. Interacting with others and sharing various things with the people I've met at PSO World has been a far better experience than the many wasted hours of playing Diablo II amongst the habitual PKers, scammers, thieves, etc. Anyhow, please do not let some insignificant moron (such as I_Kill_Sharks_all_Day) get to you. Sure, his statements were sharp and disrespecful. But hey, maybe there is some deep-rooted psychological problem causing him much anger/jealousy, in which he has decided to vent upon the boards. Who knows? Of course I could say alot worse and he'd most likely respond with a witty response of his own... but I'm not about that. I'm here to support your efforts. Keep up the good work Ambrai!
