Ya I guess. I was just gonna say the thread was okay. No swearing, no name calling, no edits no removes no Bans etc, etc...... until Rogue made his last post which has been removed. Cause it just got him Banned. Linking to a °°°°o spam thread and not even reporting it. Never saw that before. CANT believe he did that. http://www.automags.org/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif See ya next week.

Welcome to the joint. Got a smoke?

He was banned because he posted a link to a °°°° bot that was on the site and asked why the mod was spending so much time on the thread we were in rather than taking care of things like that.

Rogue, if i had a hat, i'd take it off. I actually find it funny that you got banned just for asking the mods why they were being incompetent. You know, back in my day, the ban stick was a hell of a lot pointier and about 10 times as big, but the man wielding it had nearly infinite patience unless you were a complete ******. Then i got to AO, where it was sized down and given to a kid who thought he was playing whackamole.

Anyway, i wonder if it's worth everyone on here becoming a martyr until they actually start worrying about what's important.

It is. He and Beemer have been going at it for a few days now so he was probably looking for an excuse to wack him.


Rogue probably doesnt even know he's been banned yet. Its too early yet in CA.

I know I like to have fun with you guys, and that sometimes my sense of humor may not translate to net-speak so well, but if I EVER speak to anyone as condescending as this some has permission to smack me in the head.

This IS AO. Say what you must but do it with class and style and dont break the rules. It is up to you all as members after all to up hold AO standards. Thats a pipe dream right there. When was the last time if ever you reported a bad post. Not just you Punk but anyone.

Here's another good one;


The thing is AO has LOST Respect. Is that the Mods fault[maybe] or you the members fault or both?

AO lost respect? Well.. instead of laying blame and pointing finger how about making efforts to fix the place up? Some move could be simple, such as getting rid the angel Shatnerball forums. AO exists now more as a monument to AGD's former greatness than to the future.

All I did was report it. It was a °°°° thread on AO by a spam bot that was at the top of the forum, in plain view for everyone to see. It funny, Beemer spends more time whooping his **** on the table than moderating. Dont know what good he thinks its going to do, but ok?

It just means that next time, the °°°° threads wont get reported. And all the kiddies he is trying to protect will see it.

Youre right, thats what happened. Looks like Beemer was looking for an excuse. Yet again, he is misapplying the rules. That post had already been up for an hour, while he was dicking around in your thread.

Oh well, you wont hear me complain about it. I will take my ban for 'disruptive behavior' with pride. Knowing he had to make up a rule to ban me, and that it came from Beemer the tyrant makes it all worth it. :wthumpup:

All I did was link to a thread on AO that the mods hadnt deleted yet. It had been up for an hour already, but seems it wasnt as high of priority as responding in punkcat's thread. Youd think it was, considering it was °°°°. But no no no, Beemer has more important things to do than moderate on AO saving the childrens from the °°°°.

Rather, he is going to ban BigEvil for saying the word bull****, and me for doing his job for him by finding the °°°° on AO.

AO has turned into not much more than a glorified B/S/T. A rough count shows that 99/140 "new posts" for me this morning were B/S/T related.

I had a post deleted this week that was pretty damn funny with no explanation. Probably for going somewhat off topic in Garf's frame thread.

Do what you know is right. Even if a mod says it isnt. Read the rules, and follow them. Dont listen to tyrant mods[Beemer]. And if you get banned for following the rules, take pride in it. You did the right thing.

You wanna protest this crap. Easy, make everyone aware of whats going on that you can. The mods may be able to stop you from posting on AO and will remove any post you make about this subject, but they cant stop you from PM'ing members.

Hey man, i'll support anyone who was banned unjustly, i nearly got banned for arguing with this one guy (who i'll keep anonymous) even though i just was correcting him on a misconception of his, then he started to insult me and so i retorted without insulting him and said that i hope that his "e-*****" frew or something like that, and my posts were edited by beemer and he said that he should really ban someone but he hates doing that. I just find it funny that saying e-***** is worse than the insults that were thrown at me that were allowed to stay up, i'll admit that i went off topic, but he just edited my posts when they were talking about that other guy.

Beemer has become very selective in his ways of moderating, if he sees something referring to genitalia it's worse than someone just insulting me outright.

I say we make a thread about this, and if it gets deleted have someone else revive it or something, i mean i think this place has more potential to be great than AO does now, but he still shouldn't get away with this.

And you're perfectly right, Beemer should be gone. AO has split into two groups of people , those supporting the ones that were banned unjustly and those that are supporting AO. The ones that are supporting AO think we're supporting Big-E and Rogue because of who they are, when on the contrary it's what was done. If i had known about this before, i would have reacted the same way no matter who it was, but we all know that Big-E and Rogue never got one of the three warnings you're supposed to get, we know that they've been good members, and we know they don't deserve to be banned, that's the main reason why their story is so much bigger and why there's so much more support now.

AO is going down the drains fast, and it's a damn shame.

see now...I'm a mod of 2 forums, a SuperMod on one of them. I didn't see what went on because I really only go on AO for the BST section or tips/mods.

So the basic gist of what I get from this particular thread is that Rogue and a Mod have been having a ****ing match for a week or so, then re-posted a °°°° spambot, taking it upon himself to question their 'job' and more or less..."pick their battles." I can only take a stab in the dark here but if that's the case:

Had Rogue done that on the one I'm a Super on (re-posted the actual °°°° link)...his discipline would have depended on which Super got a hold of it first. Had he only posted the web address leading to that particular thread, would have likely been a different story in that likely, nothing would have been done to him at all.

Had it been me, even if we were having a *****-fest back and forth, he'd have gotten probably just a warning and a secondary PM saying that "if he's not happy with the way [we] run the forum, to quietly recuse himself from using it any longer" - or something to that affect. You cannot let a personal issue stand between 'common-sense' posting...but he [meaning anyone...not just Rogue] needs to use the same measure of common sense about what he's posting too.

If another Super got it first...I know that 2 of the other 4 would have banned him for at least 3 days...perhaps a week...but like I said earlier, it would have to depend on what link was posted...the bot address or the webpage address leading to it.

If he did post the bot address, then he made a bad choice. Even though he was doing it to prove a point or get a point across, it was still a bad choice. He would have been better off putting the webpage link instead, then argued that he was only reporting the page and not actually re-posting °°°°.

If he posted the webpage address and not the bot link, then it's obvious that the mod that banned him was looking for a reason and Rogue gave him one.

Another thing I should mention is that if you have an issue with someone, you should always take it to PMs. The open forum is no place to have a ****ing match and Mods/Supers will ban you on that principal alone. Posting or berating anyone in open forum normally violates the "no Flame" rule...and people often cite the "Freedom of Speech" as a defense. That's great but the fact is, any on-line forum is a privately owned or controlled medium that is governed by additional rules that the Constitution doesn't protect...because ultimately, it's privately owned or controlled.

I'm not saying Rogue is right or wrong, I'm simply stating that the open forum isn't the place to go when you have a gripe. If a Mod or Super is being a **** to you, then you need to go to another - or better yet, an Admin - for resolution and ask that that mod/Super not have jurisdiction over your posting unless it truly violates the posted Rules.

I've been in that very situation before. I had to limit the interaction of one Mod and a member because they had a personality conflict...and to be honest, it's like sending 2 kids to separate corners. I've got my own kids to take care of...it's exasperating doing it on-line as well.

I can't say that I side with Rogue on this one because I don't know the background between him and this mod...but I can't say I'd side with his bannage and for the same reasons. All I can say is, everyone just needs to be more conscious of what they say [and do] to prevent this stuff from happening.

He would have been better off putting the webpage link instead, then argued that he was only reporting the page and not actually re-posting °°°°.

If he posted the webpage address and not the bot link, then it's obvious that the mod that banned him was looking for a reason and Rogue gave him one.

Another thing I should mention is that if you have an issue with someone, you should always take it to PMs. The open forum is no place to have a ****ing match and Mods/Supers will ban you on that principal alone. Posting or berating anyone in open forum normally violates the "no Flame" rule...and people often cite the "Freedom of Speech" as a defense. That's great but the fact is, any on-line forum is a privately owned or controlled medium that is governed by additional rules that the Constitution doesn't protect...because ultimately, it's privately owned or controlled.

I'm not saying Rogue is right or wrong, I'm simply stating that the open forum isn't the place to go when you have a gripe. If a Mod or Super is being a **** to you, then you need to go to another - or better yet, an Admin - for resolution and ask that that mod/Super not have jurisdiction over your posting unless it truly violates the posted Rules.

I've been in that very situation before. I had to limit the interaction of one Mod and a member because they had a personality conflict...and to be honest, it's like sending 2 kids to separate corners. I've got my own kids to take care of...it's exasperating doing it on-line as well.

I can't say that I side with Rogue on this one because I don't know the background between him and this mod...but I can't say I'd side with his bannage and for the same reasons. All I can say is, everyone just needs to be more conscious of what they say [and do] to prevent this stuff from happening.

I did NOT post an external web address or a bot link....I posted an www.automags.org link to a thread on AO(www.automags.org/etcetc). It was not my thread, and the link was an AO link.

A thread that just to happened to have been at the top of the page, in plain view, on the forum menu and contained °°°° links/pics. Not hard to notice, but somehow the mod[Beemer] found it more important to participate in a thread of punkcat's instead of moderating and getting rid of such a thread.

Anyone that knows me knows full well that Id never post °°°° on any website. That just aint my style.

You never share:sticktongue:

But seriously, everyone knows it was a bad move. Beemer just wanted to prove his point, and you gave him something he could twist and pin on you.

Your not at fault, but you got the shaft anyway.

You know I think things are getting a little over blown and we need to let cooler heads run the show a little. We can all agree that the moderating operations at AO have gone to hell in a hand basket? Do we blame Beemer or anyone else in the mod team? Personally I just think that the one or 2 mods that are active aren't enough to police AO. The big guy upstairs needs to assign a couple of more mods (prefferably regular posters) to help alleviate the situation occuring at AO instead of driving off the people who care about the site. Outside of paintball life happens, people get interested in other things and sometimes responsibilities get shirked. I think we're putting to much pressure on too few mods and it's coming to a boil.

Sounds like a plan to me, although they may be more strict on swearing, i dont know what gods policy is on that (and for some reason i cant put apostrophes because it brings up a quick search...)

No not God, the Flying Spaghetti Monster. He is much more effective at touching people with his noodly appendage. Srsly, pure l33tness.

Beemer is kinda like the old Testament God is you think about it.



Made we should get Beemer to knock someone up and he'll change.

nonono...please understand me...I don't think you'd do that!...I was only posting "for instances" here...

Perhaps my inflection should be better...I said IF you did...I never meant to imply that you did (if that's what you were thinking).

Like I said...I have no idea what was going on before I read this thread. I was just listing hypothetical inferences on certain possibilities...that's all.

I think it sucks that you were banned and especially since you only reported the thread...

Well in punkncat's G-Force thread it looked to me that Beemer was trying to goat punkncat into posting something that could be bannable. Way too many cocky posts from a mod in one thread I think. And the reason for Rogue being banned.:crazy:

Yeah, i feel the same way, but most people think i'm way to the left, but i think it's mainly due to my laziness in getting a haircut.

As for Atach's post:

Well... as far as running them off. all I can say is I now have a new account on PBLegion and this is my first post. (no, I didn't get banned)

I'm not new to paintball but I am new to Mags and I thought that AO would be a great place to be. I have found that if you want parts for mags you need to get on the forums and that is what has brought me to AO and here; my interest of Automags. Along the way I have found a whole community of people with the same interest and, for the most part, are civil to each other. I guess there is no "one great place" they all have there pluses, some just have more than others and AO seems to be loosing at the moment. That too bad, really.

I am not a good judge of things because I lack the history that most of you have here and at AO. I have been trying to add valuable content when I can on AO and not just fluffy post to get my post count up. I believe in quality not quantity. I have followed the fore mentioned threads and was shocked when I witnessed BigEvil and Rouge get banned for what seemed like minor infractions and a vendetta.

As any noob to any forum it can be hard to break in and not look like your trying to hard. I'm not here for ego, one up or anything like that; it's about paintball, tinkering/tweaking, markers and friendship. (that and the winters in Maine can be real long so I need to get my PB fix some how.)

I really wish I got into Mags about 5 to 6 years ago. It looks like things where hopping back then. Now it kinda feels like I've missed the big party and I'm trying to play catch up.

Noob on PBLegion and Proud Mag Owner

dude (Looper)...Mags are the ****! and have been for years. Guys like ZackV, Rogue and others just make them that much better. I've got 2 myself but I'm using one of them as a loaner at our renegade field. It's [one of] the only way[s] to introduce the new breed into old school ways.

IMO and based upon what I'm reading, banning Rogue is a power-play by Beemer...who should have his mod permissions stripped for 'abuse of power'.

Looper, welcome to the party. Sure you're a bit late, but it's still good. Don't mind the fellas that are running around the place with their pants off....

Remember

It's a good party if you end up with your pants on your head.

It's an even better party if you end up with someone else's pants on your head...

Someone just deleted all the threads talking about these issues. I mean literally JUST deleted them. I was reading the thread, tried to post, then nothing. Refreshed and they were gone. Oh well. I don't see why the mods have an issue with AOers discussing issues with the forum. I know some were saying Beemer should go, but nothing beyond that. Oh well, looks like Ill be spending more time here on PBL. :clap:
