What did I miss?
Did you read the "Banned" under his name? That would signify he was banned. For what? Well the past week he's been flaming and just making no sense, as if he did'nt care to be a member of PSOW. I did'nt see the thread that got him banned, but no doubt it was deserved. He was banned before for flaming, then Wata let him come back on "probation". What happens when you break the law if you're on probation?On 2002-07-19 23:34, rbf2000 wrote:

Wata was actually being nice. He did'nt IP ban Greg at first, so Greg could still come here for all his PSO news. Well, Greg signed up as two different(and bad) usernames, and started alittle more trouble. Thus, IP ban.
That's about it I beleive, all that I saw.
Look, he did it again.
Consistent flaming and consistent free-posting gets you banned. It happens now and then.
Ok, I guess I just hadn't seen anything recently that was ban worthy. But I don't doubt that something sent him over the edge.
Posting "poooop" and "." as your only reply to a thread or someone's comment is blatant spam. And considering he flamed anyone for the slightest dissagreement did'nt help either.On 2002-07-20 00:19, rbf2000 wrote:

He was on probation since he was perm banned last night, if you're on probation and you break the law again, usually you get the full extent of the law put against you.
Thus, he was banned(again).
If anything, he was sick of PSOW and was just doing anything he wanted.
Look, he did it again.
I didn't care for Greg all that much, but he didn't do anything that's over the line. I may get heat for saying this, but recent events have shown that the mods are more abusive than the users. The mods of the past were way better; I miss the days when IceBlink was the only active one These days you see mods flaming the users and changing their sigs in a poor attempt to humiliate 'em and then deleting/editing the posts to cover up the evidence. (I wouldn't be surprised if some were pk'ers/NOL'ers/etc.)
Blatant flaming is against the rules. He was banned before for flaming. He was allowed to come back under "probation", and he still flamed people. He went longer flaming than alot of people. Read what I already posted about it.On 2002-07-20 10:04, TeamPhalanx wrote:

Playing the victim gets really old. Mods are mods, and if you don't do anything assenine or against the rules, they leave you alone. I always say, leave ego's at the door, because they will get broke here.I may get heat for saying this, but recent events have shown that the mods are more abusive than the users.
I've known the mods for quite a while, and they are far from the 'abusive bastards and bitches" that everyone makes them out to be. If you don't like how this place is run, you are free to leave, no one is stopping you. Just come here for the latest news, or to meet new people, if posting here is such a harmful experience under such bastard dictatorship, then by all means, please don't come back. And that's directed at everyone.
Guess what, Iceblink is friends with the current active mods. He's the one who chose them to help. If you liked Iceblink, you should accept his decision for help. He knows what he's doing, and he mad damn good decisions. Trust me, it CAN be worse.The mods of the past were way better; I miss the days when IceBlink was the only active one
No, I'd say they delete the posts/threads because what happened was either offensive or uncalled for. Not that it really matters, because if you weren't involved it's none of your concern, right?These days you see mods flaming the users and changing their sigs in a poor attempt to humiliate 'em and then deleting/editing the posts to cover up the evidence.
And since when are mods supposed to get flamed constantly and told they're doing a shitty job and not defend themselves? Everyone better fear the day I become a mod, because I would'nt put up with half the BS the current mods do(Sleet flaming for an entire week in an effort to give him a chance to calm down? I would'nt of given him that..)
YES they are so evil! They must steal from babies too! OMG!(I wouldn't be surprised if some were pk'ers/NOL'ers/etc.)
Look, he did it again.
So, according to you, flamers should be banned. So, why aren't some of the mods banned? They've flamed users as well.
How do you justify changing people sigs for personal reasons?- Mainly to make the users look bad? Well?!?
I never said I liked IceBlink; I just said that he's a good mod, and probably the only good one.
Some of them probably annoy other PSO players cause it's the same attitude. PK'ers pk you because they have some delusion that they have power. Same here. Again, how do you justify changing a member's sig and then being proud and bragging about it? I'm so cool because I can annoy other PSO players; I'm so cool because I can piss off the members.
I've seen some offensive posts, and they're all locked. I've seen posts being deleted, and they all involved the mods in some way or another.
I find your attitude of "they do their job" sickening. Only the foolish and blind ignore improper actions and tell themselves that there are no problems. A mod system doesn't work if the mods abuse their powers and lose the trust/respect of the members.
Mods don't go around picking fights with members. They do their job. If you don't like how they do their job, leave. It's a very simple equation. You are posting on their forum that they maintain.On 2002-07-20 11:37, TeamPhalanx wrote:

How do you justify users telling the mods that they can't do their job worth shit, and blatantly attacking them? The mods do a damn good job, nobodies perfect. Again, ego's should be left at the door. If getting your sig edited is going to throw you in a tizzy, whats your malfunction?How do you justify changing people sigs for personal reasons?- Mainly to make the users look bad? Well?!?
Yeah, Iceblink is a good mod. But you still have to respect his decision for the mods he chose. And if you can't, then leave. You're a guest here.I never said I liked IceBlink; I just said that he's a good mod, and probably the only good one.
They do have power here, they maintain the forum. You abide by the rules they set down. Honestly, I don't give a damn about someone's sig being edited. You're bitching about a single incident anyways. In comparison, the amount of BS the mods put up with like nit-picking whiny bitches is alot worse than one mod changing two words in a users sig.Some of them probably annoy other PSO players cause it's the same attitude. PK'ers pk you because they have some delusion that they have power. Same here. Again, how do you justify changing a member's sig and then being proud and bragging about it?
...yeah..you must have been pk'd alot huh?I'm so cool because I can annoy other PSO players; I'm so cool because I can piss off the members.
Yeah, and the majority of them were un-needed flames and BS caused by members. Are you making the connection at all?I've seen some offensive posts, and they're all locked. I've seen posts being deleted, and they all involved the mods in some way or another.
Hey, atleast I accept the mods and any mistakes they do. I don't need to be a whiny bitch and try to over throw them. Only those with no life and nothing to do have to keep coming back to a forum that they supposedly despise. If the mods here are so god damn evil, fucking leave, then you won't be so cursed with having to see them do such evil things. Is that simple enough? The mods won't be leaving, so it's entirely in your court what you do.I find your attitude of "they do their job" sickening. Only the foolish and blind ignore improper actions and tell themselves that there are no problems.
Stay and enjoy the site for what it is, or leave and go find somewhere else to post.
They have my trust. As well as quite afew others. Where's the revolt? Where's the mob with pitch forks and torches? I only saw afew assholes and smartasses who thought they could do better, they left or got banned for not showing respect to a forum they are a guest to. It's that simple. If you can make a better PSO site, with a better forum, then go and do it. Make everyone happy.A mod system doesn't work if the mods abuse their powers and lose the trust/respect of the members.
Again, playing the victim gets old. It even happened when the only three mods were Ayame, Jazzy and Iceblink. Everyone despised Iceblink for making the decision on those two. Guess what, most of those people are still here, they came to terms with the decision.
Do you undastand?
Look, he did it again.
