I'll need your attention.

I blame the mods for making the forum so shit lately, yet a mod is trying to tell us it's our fault people are getting banned and we need to change for the sake of the forum.

I dislike this.

I'm sorry if it seems like I'm blaming you (us). I don't really consider myself a mod, since I'm as active as anyone here and post just as much as anyone. I was pretty much trying to voice what people have been telling me. I don't really see how I accused everyone of making this forum worse, I just, as stated before, was voicing what people have been telling me. I'm only trying to *repair* what has been done. Again, sorry if this seemed like an attack, it was nowhere near of being one.

Well, I'd debate you on this because you're totally wrong but you're clearly just trolling... I mean come on. The mods might not be perfect but they're not our babysitters either. I wouldn't blame someone if they smacked a kid after he swore at them 100 times. It's sort of the same thing here. If you don't like it you're welcome to leave.

I have to say, in this whole thread, this is the most brilliant analogy I have ever read (even better than any I have given). What's said above is EXACTLY how I feel things have come to.

The rules are very minimal, I mean really guys, all I mainly look for is:

- No porn
- No excessive trolling (I get the fun trolling every now and then, no problems there)
- No attacking/berating/insulting other users (I know there's kidding that happens, again, no problems there, but know when to stop).
- Respect the mods. I'm not saying you have to agree with them, but there will be no more tolerance for the type of pics that popped up, or the "cunt" this and that, very personal insults, etc.

That's it! I don't see the things above can't be avoided, and let's be honest, if they're that hard to avoid more than likely, news flash, you're simply a grade A troll.

One other thing, amazingly, I am very happy for all the PMs/emails I've gotten since this whole thing blew up last week. I really didn't expect it. I didn't reply to all, but thank you. It's clear there are more folks here that would like to see OT stay than those who don't really care about its fate.
 
Since now, this "Fuck the Mods" attitude has to stop.
Yeah true.

Yeah. I agree.

EDIT: I also agree that those rules are not limiting in any way...very simple.
 
Yeah, every thread ends up with idiots blurting out meme's, arguing etc... fair enough about Failure, maybe he's turned good finaly, good for him, also i don't want to argue with the other members here, i want to make ammends and help make this place better too (you know who i mean), and also yeah it was annoying watching my thread turn into a festival of retardation :p
 
This is just the kind of thing this forum has needed for a while... I knew that those higher up didn't like the place, but I had no idea they wanted it closed. I don't think I've ever been much of a problem, so I don't think I need to improve. To be perfectly honest, anyone who is "OMG, FUCK TEH MODZ!!" after this is just fucking retarded... And that kind of shit no longer has a place here.
 
Yeh, it would be nice to get some change to the things...I dont really take part to most of the threads in COB-OT because they are some kind of "spoiled" like with arguing and insulting, etc. I know most of it is not serious but still Im personally lilbit tired of it...

I know Im not so active user in OT but I'll try my best :p

As explained on msn, I didnt mean you with "mods" :p
 
Yeha, you did. You get banned once for minor funny day, but you're cool user usually, and you're not giving a hard time to mods every now and then.

Yay for new COBOT and congrats to Nick now that is officially know his new state, :lol:
 
I for one, totally agree on this. There are 2 types of trolls here. Positive trolls and negative ones. Like dicki said, trolling to a certain amount should be tolerated and might even be a good thing (positive trolls) but some people go to far, and do it in a annoying/shitty/lame way (negative trolls). In my opinion THOSE trolls should be struck with the banhammer, and not the positive ones. Yet the annoying fucktard trolls always seem to get away with shit, and good trolls get banned on regular basis. I wont go much deeper into the reasons why i think that the good trolls get banned, because thats been discussed infinite times now:rolleyes: I agree cobot is on its last pair of legs but i think the mods blame it on the wrong people.

But yah, yay for a better cobot:kickass:

What kind of troll are you?
 
Trouble? I LOVE trouble!!!
