I'm the one who brought it up, so I'm clarifying that it's the community. If you don't believe that I personally also complained about it, I'm ok with that. We're talking about the community hating changes here, not other mods.
Uh...we're talking about the community, not the mods specifcally. The community most definitely hated on Draegan for doing that. You're more than welcome to read through the ancient Amod thread posts to review.
Bitch, please. Had Draegan locked Big P's thread because Tanoomba was being a faggot, I would have been calling that shit out as well. You keep projecting your obsession with Tanoomba on me and it couldn't be more misplaced.
You know what I mean, dude. He shouldn't be the source of new rules for this community. If he's that much of a burden, there is a much simpler solution that will not affect the rest of the community(no matter how trivially this really affects us).
I didn't say anything about tradition in the post. You are most definitely making new and/or changing rules. There was no "No personal threads in the shaw" rule on FOH.
I wouldn't ban him here either, but I would ban him before I start changing rules of the entire forum just to somehow punish him. I don't feel he's done anything ban worthy, but you're already aware that my bar is pretty high for that. Too high? Perhaps.
Ok, so we're just going to start changing shit around to punish Tanoomba instead of banning him? You don't find that utterly retarded? I'm not defending Tanoomba. He's only collaterally defended by me complaining about the change. He was only collaterally protected in the GamerGate thread by me...
Because shaw'd people can't post in them in screenshots. Person gets shaw'd. Person can post in shaw. The rest of the zoo can go into the shaw and taunt them. This is our way. Moving the threads doesn't really seem to accomplish anything. I don't know.
I have no power, so I'm not trying to enforce anything. I'm complaining about a change. That's all. You should be well versed in that stance. The fact that Tanoomba is punished(not sure how?) with this change is the only reason you're beating your dick over it.
I'm not really unhappy now. The forum is leaps and bounds better than what we had(in every measurable way). I just feel this is fixing a problem that doesn't really exist.
My line is drawn when you let the community decide and not just start imposing your personal preferences on us. Y'know, kind of how we've been trying to do this?
Fair enough. 5 years it's been a tradition(you just proved it yourself). How it began is immaterial to the discussion, it's how it has been. You're single-handedly deciding it's now wrong and over. The only thing you're doing is making the rest of the shaw'd threads into the "personal" ones...
So we're just stopping traditions upwards of 10 years old. What happened to hands-off once mods were elected?
EDIT: Oh, sept 1st is your cutoff to admin faggotry. What else is in store?
