“Never argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

Oh my goodness. (shrug) You guys really crack me up. Seriously. In both Mexico and Texas jalapenos are popular.
A spicy jalapeno is the best kind. So if someone from there calls you a "spicy jalapeno" that's a compliment.
If you respond to a compliment, (heck anything) with "What's your problem?", no matter where you're from,
that carries an implied insult. So, ask a stupid question....get a stupid answer...
If you don't understand, you could ask..."What do you mean by that?" Which carries no insult.
Now, if in Germany, calling someone a "Spicy Jalapeno" is an old, traditional folk way of telling
someone to **** off, then I'm wrong..and I apologize, Little John, I didn't mean that.
But if not, e-mail me your address and I'll send you a box of tissues for the tears.
Final lesson: A little more of ingenuity from
both fronts could have saved the day
Sorry for taking so long to implement, Jon. I really need a kick in the butt for dragging this out.
Hi Neal,
your scrutinizing moderators are trying to harass me, I get community strikes for nothing
in the past you have always said that you are bad at mails and you have no time to answer them because you are busy.
I see how you quick are responding to the mails that others write you in no time.
My mails however are delayed
endlessly.
I understand you obviously do not want to answer my questions and/or at least react to my proposals. I have also offered you my help - not a response here either.
In the same period you find time to censor our posts after obviously CTU_Clay has complained to you.
But still no reaction to my constructive work.
Because I cannot change this situation I have now decided to no longer write you and let others do that for me.
So if you say that previous moderators have been disappointments to you, then I can tell you in a friendly manner that this situation that you are creating for me is a disappointment to me.
Again best wishes and "saludos"
Oliver
Estimated gentlemen,
I have now followed this thread for more than three weeks to see what comes out. Let me emphasize in front that I
- have been running and/or co-moderation BBSs and forums for more than 25 years so I know full well what I am talking
- do not favor open swearing at all
But what is done here exceeds my understanding. It is most often way off common sense or general logic.
We have seen contributive members such as DUCIMUS who even left the forum because they have had enough. Speaking for us programmers and modders now: You publish a mod, face the obvious and lazy stupidity of users (JSCONES once very well described it in the last update to his S3C, source #
1 - and he has NOT been infracted), sometimes you even get provoked, but when you start to defend you are immediately infracted. That feels as if some moderators would hold you fast so that the provokers can continue to punch you in public. What THEY post is never removed, but YOUR posts are moderated (as has happened to me in the S3F-thread).
Or can anyone besides the usual two moderators explain to me why I have been infracted here:
How about another...No? Aha. And that is the point I wish to address here: Where is this all going?
@Sailor Steve: It is nice to see you at least try to be fair _sometimes_ (as admitted in #
199) and at the same time admit that you are sometimes taking things too literally (source: #
1057). Understandable. But what comes out of this besides that you harass and annoy users by giving infractions for even the least important things? Again: Why has DUCIMUS left? In fact it had been well documented in DUCIMUS' signature where he had said that "if you get an infraction for using a swear word and you were not actually using one, it is time to go". Guess who gave him that infraction: you. And briefly after I addressed the matter in the roll-call-thread(source: #
278), DUCIMUS' signature had been deleted.
Dear Steve. We have had lengthy discussions about what in insult is, remember? I now tend to think that you even take your moderator-job to literally and see insults where no insults are. And that is most shocking to me.
And the most interesting question: Where have you given infractions when Kpt. Lehmann/GWX insulted other people like no other has done? I will here provide you a list of public insults where NOTHING has been done - in fact everyone can simply open Lehmann's posts to find more than enough:
to name only the 3 best. So if you compare these examples to what gave you the right to infract me in the "
How about another..."-thread? Where is the insult in my case? I don't see any! Do I have to pay you or donate a higher sum so that I don't get infracted? If I had posted what Lehmann (your GWX-team-leader by the way) had posted I would be been put to the brig. But not Lehmann. Very irritating.
Everybody conclude on their own, but obviously these rules are not applied to every Subsim-member to the same extent. Period.
Then let me address the second moderator - also with facts, quotes and sources: Jimbuna.
It has been more than once the case that insulting members who attacked me in MY (!) thread about S3F were given the chance to alter their posts to avoid infractions. Fact is that I have never been given that kind of chance by you two moderators: Sailor Steve and Jimbuna. NEVER! Not once! You only moderate, rip off one's head publicly and infract!
It was twice my estimated collegue Neal who brought misconceptional things to my attention and I was in both cases willing to do that.
But not from you, Sailor Steve and Jimbuna. And when I saw that you, Jimbuna, had nothing better to do than report a roleplay-post in our DEF-forum, you have not even reacted to my mail to you. You did not even follow my invitation to talk about this. Not even after Neal told you I was waiting on Teamspeak to get things straight.
And still you continue to report posts behind my back - as if I would not see that (being a 2nd class moderator for some sub-forums myself here).
This is absolutely NO behaviour and NOT polite and NOT adequate.
And this is what really spoils the fun. I take pride that I am always open to talk. And I have Neal as witness because he said this is to my credit, but you, dear Jimbuna, rejected to come online to talk - you even rejected to answer my mails.
Thanks you two (Sailor Steve and Jimbuna, both former GWX-members), you really bring fun to the game. You literally SEEK something to infract people!
And the best is: You do not stick to rules on your own. Jimbuna, it was you, who brought PRIVATE NOTES that only moderators could read to public. Source: _________
And you were reluctant to RIGHTEN YOUR OWN WRONGINGS even after Neal asked you. I wrote those words in capitals because you have them in your profile. But how about you righten your own wrongings sometime? Especially when it publicly visible that you bring up PRIVATE notes to the public?
I am sure that being a moderator is a busy job - I am a moderator 2nd class here myself. Been there, done that. You surely cannot discuss every discussion made BUT when it is so obvious that a moderator violates common sense then reactions MUST be faster. You cannot always sit out things for weeks, if not months and then say "Oh that has been sooo long ago". That simply does not work.
his own private property. Ownership has its privileges.
It is just the old problem that the moderators do not update post#1 in the release-threads when the links are obviously dead.
Texas Cowboy Fascist who always turns truth around and censors your clarifications and then claims you have spoken about everything (when you have not).
toothless Hooligan Mall-Police-Sheriff who never has the balls to talk to you, but cannot stop reporting and stirringh trouble against you behind closed doors(in the mods area).
Potsmoker-Hippie who thinks everything is an insult (
only not when his GWX-team-leader does it)and never replies when he see you are correct and he is not.
For some to claim that the current fiasco it is the fault of those of us who have been critical of Ubisoft, is nonsense.
I'm so over this 'be nice to Ubisoft because they are the only Publisher producing subsims' argument. It looks to me like SH5 is very modable...we just need to be able to play it offline in order to really enjoy it.
