You'd need to cut it up first!
Why is it that that most 'pocket sized' dictionaries barely fit in a haversack, let alone a pocket!!
The mind boggles...

Oops, is this all the proof you can come up with for me tearing you apart? No sense of humor, uh?
:hmm:
So it is forbidden for forum members to criticise your grammar. There goes our freedom of speech out of the window, right?
:rotfl:
Come on, Kapitan, be honest and say that you can't find anything malicious. And admit that you can stand criticism, I know you can (because sometimes you are extremely self critical).


Why don't you admit that your criticism of my moderation was actually spamming, an attempt to get to 6000 posting.
Wasn't it?

Abraham having browsed this board I have decided that you have become the subsim version of the UK's prime minister.Every body knows he is doing a bad job.His personal opinions are clouding his judgement , he ignores criticism and everybody is waiting for him to go.We have lost confidence in what you do-just look at all the posts on here complaining about you.

What's this...a lynch mob?

Come on guys...he's not a computer! He's just trying to do what he thinks is right, and if we don't agree with that well that's all part of the democratic process isn't it?
If Neal had a problem with the way Abraham was moderating then he would have stepped in by now, he is the Subsim god after all, never eating and never sleeping in his quest for justice, good subsims and pizza. ( )
So let's calm down, back off and see what Abe and Die Onkel have to say....ja?

(I gotta admit, I'm wondering when the inevitable poll on this will show up )

Who is "everybody"? Who is "we"? Who is waiting for me to go? Where are all those posts? Who has lost confidence? You and ...?
Again, this kind of criticism is against the Forum rules, but if you feel that bad about me, file your complaints directly with Neal Stevens...

I stand by my opinion that telling a forum member (a Jewish forum member that is!)
Quote:
there is no difference between you, and the people that ran Auschwitz, Birkenau, Mauthausen...
or
Quote:
you share the same brutal dehumanizing mentality and doctrine as some of the more infamous naziis... only, you are worse, because you have the facilities in which to educate yourself...
or
Quote:
are you serious... c'mon now, get a grip... if the naziis were alive and active today, they would be doing exactly what you're doing...
hey, some of em are still active today... do you want me to link to a few of the same type of sites that you've just linked to so that you can see the similarities between the one that you linked to and theirs...
you are more like them than you could imagine...
are highly offensive and totally unacceptable on this forum.
Would you liked to be attacked that way?
If you feel different about it, please let us know. If this is acceptable to you on our forum you will certainly be able then to overcome the offence of having a few postings edited, right?
By the way, the reactions I get on my moderating are slightly more diverse than yours. And moderating is not a popularity contest. Would you do better? Then contact Uncle Neal...
:hmm:

Thanks for that, although to be more accurate, I'm more like the Subsim slave

The spam thing is hard to define but yes, we would like meaningful discussions. Occasional BS topics are ok, as long as they are funny or witty. Of course, as you know, the ranking system is fully automated and operates independant of my control, sort of like the Doomsday Machine in Dr, StrangeLove.... and if I understand it correctly, spammers, really bad spammers, are alway in jeapordy of triggering the "spammer nuclear option", that is, when they spam too much, Abraham or Drebbel push the History Erasor button and the ranking system sets the spammer's post count back to 5

....yes, 5

This could be you!

LOL neal, ive had my rant and so have the others call it as i said in another post we all go down together, but it only takes one and then we all dont come back.

Abraham is still a member here regardless, we all have a lot to learn from each other, we have done well so far and so lets not spoil it or upset the mod's i mean were only the enlisted hired help here!

what is going on here, is this spam thing more serious than i thought. is starting up heaps of posts really spam i thought spam was getting thousands of emails all at once. I experince this only once in my pc days when i told a company there hardware was way over priced, the person email back with a disgrunted email and told me to mind my own business, i email back and told him hes ripping of customers, next morning i get and email from him open it up an recieved 100's of spam flowing in that it made our server crash. Because of his stupidity he lost out on a hw deal, he didn't know it but i was asked by the boss to replace 42 of the staff computers. Dick Smiths got the deal instead.

Apparenty it was a father son business im guessing the son sent the spam.

I moderated another of Neal's forums at Sub Club. Note that I have never volunteered to do it here. You're going to go to bed with a headache every night.
