This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Everyone agreed with me! I'm finally one of the clique! You like me! You REALLY like me!

Now I need to find someone to endlessly disagree with and harrass so I can get them suspended when they finally stick up for themselves. Any voulenteers?

In private messages , mods over there have shown their obvious bias and dislike of little 'ol me.

Yeah because YOU are a troublemaker and someone to be concered about :rolleyes:

The mods at rpg.net have lost their damn minds

Seriously, Koltar, of all people?! :confused: You're the guy who is always coming in with the messages of peace and reason.  What could you have possibly done to get on their watch list?

I'm one of those "Evil" assumed to be right wing types. That might have been enough.

 Of course purple has never been my favorite color anyway.
 No big loss .

 By-the-way ...everybody knows by now that they came back online - right?

It just goes to show how deeply the Thetans have imprinted their engrams upon me, that, when I saw this post, I had an instinctive moment of panic before I realised where I wasn't.

I knew Curt was going to use his moderator powers to abuse people, and I am glad they brought him down to earth and fast.
Define "fast".  I recognise people here who were banned as much as 2.5 to 3 years ago.  I had been chafing with various mods for the better part of a year before I began to bail on the place a year ago.  Curt was a mod for how long before they finally ditched him?  Say what you will about RPG.net, but it has a huge amount of momentum behind it at this point, and nothing is going to happen "fast".  Well, unless there's significant financial sponsorship behind it, of course.

!i!

Well, true they didn't ban him fast.  But they did ban him, bring him back and then give him mod status.

That I will never understand.  You ban someone who is abusive, bring them back and give them power.

They lost their damn minds

i think that was due to him living with a2k and voice of isaac at the time; something to do with sharing an IP address :confused:

why the fuck i remember that bit o' drama?!  why couldn't boozing kill *that* brain cell?  :keke:

Quote from: Blue DevilAnd if RPG.NET doesn't change this it is going to go downhill fast.   The problem is you have mods who probably have never had power before (not in real life) then they became mods of rpg.net and got power hungry and let it go to their heads .  

These are the kind of people who should NEVER have power.
