Moderators are Menaces

[Mega-Douche]

Hello Mega-Douche,

We've received some complaints about some of the graphics you've posted recently in the below thread.

http://174.37.115.166/cforum/showthread.php?t=1827

In reviewing the content we found that several of them were a bit gory and depicted violent acts. As this is a public forum that anyone of any age has access to we need to retain a "G" rating for the content. As such some of the graphics were removed, however please note the majority remain.

In the future please keep in mind the "G" rating when creating any other content for these forums. Oh, and I moved the thread to the General section as that was a more appropriate location for your personal art.

Any questions or concerns please let me know.

Cheers,
Mursilis

This is a private message that I received from a moderator of these forums telling me that my images were too graphic to have a G rating... while I admit, I did post a picture with the PRedator being killed, neon green ooze spurting out of his wounds, I do not agree that the moderators are fair minded people. Mursilis is friends with the usual suspects-a little clique of people who find themselves to be superior to others because they have high ranking castle age characters...

I believe that a moderator should not side with others due to their friendship ties. It is an outrage that my pictures, which were made purely in humor and would offend no-one, were taken down strictly due to a social complication that I had with one of this moderator's friends. It is unjust and unfair... who will keep crime and villainy off the streets of these forums without our fair, brave moderators doing their jobs right?

And so I want there to be a new moderator called BATMAN to be instated. Batman's identity should remain anonymous because he is awesome like that... also, Batman will clean the forum of crooked moderators and mobsters. I am sick and tired of being afraid to post a message without someone calling me a mean name...

WE need a Dark Knight.

Oh, no you dih'int....

Really, the moderators here are some of the most easy going I've seen in a private forum. Private meaning you must subscribe, and by doing so you agree to the rules. I don't know the history behind your complaint, don't really care, I'll take what you at your word. But if you did post something that could be considered as too graphic, and somebody DID complain, then the moderators did the right thing no matter who thay are friends with.

And for what it's worth, their "little clique" consists of pretty much anybody who went through the effort of sending them a facebook invite. They got to be moderators not because they are superior (they've never made or indicated that) but because they have been contributing to the game and the forums.

So I take it that you are opposed to the batman idea.

[Caitir Eavan]

Batman's my friend... don't pull him into this ;)
How about Spiderman? I don't like those evil 8-legged creatures...

[Headless]

So I take it that you are opposed to the batman idea.

Of course not. Batman would be the most kickass moderator to ever kick ass on a message board.

[Mai-Ria]

I think the Moderators are doing a fabulous job but please remember that they are only human after all.

I analyze and I verify and I quantify enough
100 percentile no errors no miss
I synchronize and I specialize and I classify so much
Don't worry 'bout dreaming because I don't sleep --

I wish I could at least 30 percent
Maybe 50 for pleasure then skip all the rest

If I only was more human
I would count every single second the rest of my life
If I just could be more human
I'd have so many little babies and maybe a wife

I'd roll around in mud and have lots of fun then when I was done
Build bubblebath towers and swim in the tub
Sand Castles on the beach, frolick in the sea, get a broken knee
Be scared of the dark and I'd sing out of key

Curse when I lost a fight, kiss and reunite, scratch a spider's bite
Be happy with wrinkles I got when I smile
Pet kittens 'till they purred, maybe keep a bird, always keep my word
I'd cry at sad movies and laugh 'till it hurt

I'd buy a big bike, I'd ride by the lake
And I'd have lots of friends and I'd stay out too late

If I could just be more human
I would see every little thing with a gleam in my eye
If only I was more human
I'd embrace every single feeling that came in my life

Would I care and be forgiving?
Would I be sentimental and would I feel loneliness?

Would I doubt and have misgivings?
Would I cause someone sorrow too? Would I know what to do?

Will I cry when its all over?

When I die will I see Heaven?

:p

You know when I said contact me if you have any questions, I was referring to a PM, not a public post. However since you're posting this here instead I'll respond here as well.

Several of your graphics depicted individuals with severed appendages dripping bodily fluids, or one individual hacking away at another. Now granted many people on these forums are mature enough that such images won't cause them nightmares, however as this forum can be accessed by anyone on the internet we do have to keep in mind anyone of any age could be viewing the forum content. As such a "G" rating needs to be maintained to maintain vBulletin standards.

Now you mention being the target of abuse yourself. We as moderators will definitely help you deal with such an issue if you can point us to the offending posts. Either a PM to myself and Lena or clicking the 'report' icon on the post will alert us to investigate.

On the less serious side of things, I didn't realize one could be part of a clique by simply accepting all friend requests. I admit I lost one with a misclick, but beyond that I see no reason to exclude anyone. And Batman is part of a clique himself, so he'd be barred as well apparently. The tights-wearing, billionaire-making, night owl schedule type clique, but it's still one.

I really enjoyed that poem! Who wrote it?

[Aquinas]

I'm guessing since you did not place any reference that it is an original by you? If so, you are very talented!

[Mai-Ria]

That poem was amazing

[Mai-Ria]

Punkle the bard

Here among the knights and heroes I stand
The bard, the greatest ranked of all
Your honour I can praise
And sing of all your great deeds
But should you cross me
Or your courage fail
Then know that I can strip
You of all honour and all
Your glory and your name
Shall be reviled
For I am the bard
And my words are
Greater than your sword
Your spear your axe
For they sing out
If fame or fortune
You dare seek
I am your friend
Your foe
I am the bard
My word is law


(Unless the moderators say no)

If you really want people to follow the rating it would be a good idea to use a rating people outside USA understand.:p

I really enjoyed that poem! Who wrote it?
Not a poem per say but a song..
The song is written by Yoko kanno and taken form the Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex - Be Human Soundtrack. And the song is Be Human:)

[Aquinas]

I've never seen Ghost in the Shell, from what I've heard perhaps I should rent it.

[Mega-Douche]

I wrote a poem... check it, it is sweet...


One day Vengence was walking down the hall,
Oblivious to everything and anything at all,
Strider gave Artanis a high five,
Then he danced and let his pelvis jive,
It was a Castle Age Party like never before,
All the hot chicks were invited of course,
DJ Ambroisia set up the tunes,
It got all the Elvin babes into the mood,
Dragons were the bar tenders in the Demon Realm,
While Mephistopheles took the party ship by the helm,
He said into the microphone as loud as he could,
That he just had a few bottles of bub and feels real good,
Even the square Corthineus danced with a girl,
It was a party that shook the Castle Age World
