You nonetheless sent him a PM reminding him of a favor you did for him. And only 2/5 on my mod team voted for me, too.

Not to mention the "favor" you tried to pull from John Savage right from the beginning. You're playing the game just as much as anyone else is here. No, some voted for me because of torri's forum attitude. torrino wrote: You nonetheless sent him a PM reminding him of a favor you did for him. And only 2/5 on my mod team voted for me, too.  Of course, John Savage would have been one of the few I introduced my early ideas or interests to and wanting to ask for their support. Just like Omni for example. Yeah, that's true too. Your team now though, with the addition of Argos, includes two posters who have been either been warned/banned many times or abused powers they had in the past here at KJ.

Corpse, you are not one to bring up history. I've heard that you single-handedly destroyed Box Office Fanatic. In addition to, uh, carrying this "female" persona for a good year or so.

We're talking WOKJ. Not a forum who's owner ran off over three years ago. The instances I mentioned with your mods were directly related to WOKJ itself, and recent. And carrying a female persona is so much less harmful to the forum than a jerk would be.

1) Post the ratings if you have them. 2) "Ooh, I hope. I enjoyed this show so much! Because, well, I was in a glee club once." 3) "That's impressive. What was the last show to propel a song like this?" 4) "Don't Stop Believin' is such a great song. I loved their rendition." 5) "Wow, what an amazing comeback for insert-D-star-artist-here." 6) Don't post. Wow....sorry I bothered posting. I was just agreeing with what Libs had to say. You don't need to be a jerk about it. What have I done to warrant that. The song is #1 on iTunes now btw...if anyone cares. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=51043&p=1437335#p1437335Spidey is a good guy, never causes problems, and an original member who contributes to the site. There was no need to react in such a way other than getting a laugh or two out of it at his expense. I'd like a response in the actual debate thread on my previous post though if you want to respond.

Corpse is not playing to win! He just likes to tear people down.

 Re: WoKJ Admin Election - Admin Finalists Revealed!!!!
Corpse, why don't you post the context. I wrote that to Spidey in response to a post where Spidey, nearly word-for-word, duplicated Libs' post about Glee.
The real context was akin to you making a friday numbers thread, posting "THE TERMINATOR - $66M" and then me posting, in the exact thread: "THE TERMINATOR - $66M."
Yup, that's the mark of a valuable, original member.
Excuse the sarcasm in that post, but Spidey has been doing these things for years. Besides, just because one is an administrator does not mean that they should be unable to constructively criticize other posters. I would consider my response to be somewhat constructive, as it gives Spidey alternative approaches. Which, frankly, is more than anyone else has done for him since he started posting.

I think all Admins should tell people those exact things.

The context is not needed when you tear into a member like that, there are no excuses. It is what it is. And he said he was just agreeing with what Libs had to say. Just because someone posts something almost identical to another before him, doesn't make him a less valuable member. Each and every member of the forum is a valuable member no matter their position. And it definitely wasn't constructive. It clearly upset him, and all he was doing was taking part in the discussion. You know you did it because of who it was, and with the purpose of ill intent. You could have easily PMed him about the post offering advice of some kind he might be inteested in taking., not publically joke about it. Or simply ignoring him could have worked as well. This is the attitude I'm talking about. Back to choosing Argos and Christian. Do their past WOKJ actions against the forum mean anything to you?

 Re: WoKJ Admin Election - Admin Finalists Revealed!!!!
Corpse, you should be the one explaining your BOF history, not me.
Regardless, Spidey is a college-bound kid of legal age. He can handle my "prickly" behavior, if that.

 Re: WoKJ Admin Election - Admin Finalists Revealed!!!!
So Corpse asks if Spidey is more valuable than Argos (implying that Spidey is more valuable) and then says that every member of the forum is valuable?
So...

 Re: WoKJ Admin Election - Admin Finalists Revealed!!!!
Again with BOF, a three year old subject. I am not talking about BOF, I've explained it several times, and everyone involved back then are over it and have been for years.
We are talking about this site, and what we have done here, and will do here.
So for the third time, do their past recent actions AT WOKJ mean anything to you? Harrassment, spamming, rule breaking, revealing IP addresses, double accounts, does it not matter?

 Re: WoKJ Admin Election - Admin Finalists Revealed!!!!
Yes, Corpse, their past does matter. But I value them, as does Zingaling, and we have decided that their intentions and ideas about the forum are inline with our own. We also see them as active throughout the entire forum. They will certainly be monitored for "fishy" behavior, as they will be in a position of authority. Moderators, independent of their written responsibilities, are expected to set an example. However, we do not want moderators to be passive or sterile, either. They should have character. Finally, as I said in my original platform post: Quote: - KJ users who are dissatisfied with a moderator's performance may raise claims in "The Site." These claims will be evaluated by moderators publicly, and a warning may be issued. There will be no warning immunity for moderators. These same conditions apply to the administrator. Torrino, should he receive three warnings, will relinquish his administrator title.
- When issues are raised in "The Site," threads will not be closed -- under any circumstance -- unless the thread in question is created for the sole purpose of bad-mouthing a user.
- torrino and Zingaling will manage a thread where members can evaluate moderator performance.
