Smekermann's fate

Ormir, dude, obviously you lack of character as you needed Mark’s admin power to get rid of someone Y-O-U had silly conflicts with.


A word to the admin: Deleting ~posts~ from message boards, cause someone did not like their contents, is what we had back in the Hitler days, it’s called “Bücherverbrennung”. Feels like the German Gestapo is watching us again.

Let the crowd speak their uncensored mind like they use to do in real life, too.


(wondering if THIS post is still here when I get back, Mark)
 
Good lord you people. This board is already free enough. Now suddenly the 'German Gestapo' is watching us again? It seems like people always need something to complain about. One incident and suddenly were restricted, we cant say anything?

Go find something else to rebel about, people. Which is better, a huge forum war, or a simple suspension, which can be undone?

You’re really showing your lack of understanding about this particular forum; Mark couldn't be further from what you describe. Stay awhile, meet people, I'm sure you'll enjoy. ;)

Have you ever tried arguing with Smekermann or trying to resolve anything with him in a rational and humane way? I did. It didn't work. Obviously banning could only have been done by Mark, so I don't see how that shows lack of character. And if it wasn't just "me" that had "silly conflicts" with him. Due to the amount of complaints Mark got from other users, and having read Smekermann's posts himself, he decided to take disciplinary action.

Mark has been fairly lax in the administration of these boards, and has left it to the posters to run. But he obviously saw that something had to be done, beyond ordinary measures. Accusing him of Gestapo-like administration is simple slander without a shred of substance.

Thanks. But no thanks. Feeling miserable on UM as I'm not that whiny like other headbangers use to be on these forums :lol: Don't fit in.

Hah, yeah, complaints instigated by YOU, by sending 30+ PMs to all the people I've flamed. I've said it once, and I'll say it again: you're a fucking geek. Also if you're referring to those PMs you sent me as "trying to resolve" anything, why don't you post the exchange, so people can see what your definition of "trying to resolve anything" is. If you wouldn't have been a fucking condescending asshole in those PMs, maybe I would've replied to you in a less... "aggressive" manner.

You're just a cry-baby who couldn't take some fucking insults, which you brought down on yourself in the first place.

I'll give credit where credit is due - you've come back, forced to be under a different name, but you do not hide.

Kudos.
 
Well, I happen to agree with Ormir here. Smekermann had the humour of a 6yr old and no style. I never saw a post of any worth from him and he was just an irritance - kinda like a rash.
 
He's back...and he's NachoFriend! ;)

(the kind of joke that will either get you laid or savagely beaten with a 9 iron)
 
Hmm.. that Gestapo reference was pretty accurate but badly chosen; speaking of nazis generally gets people on their toes and reacting before they get the chance to think.

Think about it for a second:

I don't like this information, therefore I shall destroy it.

Remind you of anything? Some omnipresent organization? One with presence almost everywhere and a basis in faith so that they can't be proven wrong by definition? Mm-hmm. Exactly.

Still, admin decisions are for the admins to make, but they are not above criticism.
 
Does it occur to you that Mark erased these posts for a reason? It wasn't so much him not liking the information, but all the people who complained about Smekermann not liking it. His posts were completely worthless, and there was no reason to preserve them.
