Cleaning House...

[Warrior189]

that would be wishful thinking danfaggella, but the truth is that this is the internet.
you cant stop a person opinion about things or stop them from arguing on the smallest comments.
we just have to ignore them yes i know its hard, but we must. n we cant ban them either. if we do they'll come back with a different name starting the same crap again. plus i kind of like seeing them getting schooled n feeling stupid over the internet.

I haven't read anything but Tant's first post.

I have to agree, this forum is very beneficial and a lot of perspectives flow through here, and a lot of information about martial arts is traded. I've learned a lot here, and I better understand the traditional/modern perspectives, and the ideas/concepts of many martial arts.

We should get rid of those who aren't here to validly contribute. We should be here to learn and share what info we've got, not bash certain martial arts or insult everyone with cold wit. Everyone should make a concious effort to get rid of these trolls and be less insulting on these forums, it just turns into middle school lunch room arguments about homosexuality or something likfe that.

Keep it professional.

there used to be lots of mods here, now there is really just me, at least for most of the forums.

Until this year I couldn't ban people, I had to have Tim do it. even so I'd only ever asked 3-4 people be ban. Until this year, and i've had to ban 20-30 people.


However there used to be a set of rules posted on how to deal with trolls, I should have kept a copy of it.

Well eXcessiveForce your doing a good job so far. I think we should thank him for his hard work. Specialty for bannin the biggest troll tkd_person.

Set of rules...

Option 1: Dont feed the trolls.

Option 2: PWN the trolls repeatedly.

Its up to whoever to decide waht they want to do... but its gotta be all or nothing... everyone has to PWN the troll, or everyone has to ignore it.

Yeah, y'see less mods, that means you should make me a mod, cause of my infinite wisdom.

Being nice gets you nowhere...

How do you think I ever rose to signifacant poster status... (hehe)

That reminds me of this quote...

"Hell, There are no rules here – we’re trying to accomplish something."

Thomas. A. Edison

And I know some of you fuckers who argue against MMA are gonna use that some day.

That was the funniest thing I have ever read on this forum!
It was so true though, here's an example...http://www.budoseek.net/vbulletin/sh...ad.php?t=15065

yeah pretty creepy...freakin people being NICE to each other hey!! it might be a good place for ole Matt blake to find some friends!!

[7r14ngL3Ch0k3]

Yeah that BudoSeek forum is scary... everyone is nice to each other and shit... and like.. they try to help each other...

I mean... we try to help people here, but itsl ike a tough love sorta help.. like...

question: "whats the best for self defense?"..

Answer: "by a gun or a knife you dumbass, NEXT!"

question guy: "but, but I mean empty hand for stree..."

annoyed answer: "GUN OR KNIFE!!!"

at that place they like... are fucking wierd... there like.. well I can recommend... wierd...

I think I'm going insane...

I should still be made a moderator though, I'm a helpful and contributing forum member who argues things logically and well thought out, that would not abuse my powers. (EXCEPT ON BOARSPEAR!!!) (Even though I wouldnt ban him cause I would have no one to argue with)

and in Tanto's thing about the lack of profanity, thats bullshit, if im too stupid to express what I mean without profanity you shouldnt discriminate against me for that!

Some forums have a "trial membership" period for new members. If they make friends, great. If they don't they just go away...It could last 30 days or 3 months, regardless of the number of posts. Those that contribute to the forum become registered users. The trolls that just want to bitch and moan or take things personally and use profanity without restraint can try to sign on to find out they have been denied access to the forum.

I'm fuked

[BoarSpear]

I think either you or BoarSpear should become mods. !

Yeah, then I could ban muhself

And as for running a tight ship....Golok at SDF is the King of that.

[Tant01]

No, its just creative.

Getting off topic... I was yanking you butt head. See the smiley?

[Tant01]

I think either you or BoarSpear should become mods. But if you look at the BudoSeek! forum, pretty much everybody posting are moderaters because when anyone does something even a little bit rude, theyre banned!

Members of this forum can use the "report bad post" function to notify the mod of spam or other problems. What action he decides to take or not is up to him.

[7r14ngL3Ch0k3]

Yes. your rediculous screen name is reason enough to ban you!

No, its just creative.
