Oh no, he has nothing to do with this... I don't think he'd touch this with a ten foot pole

Re: MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
I've been on both sides of Ceel's wrath many times, I have no idea why I was never banned, but it was always deserved. I find that he always has a good reason behind his rampages like this. So I roll with them. If I ever get banned I know I will have deserved and yeah I'll be pissed but I'll get over it.
That being said, I agree with everything that Kyp and Chaos has said on this last page. Yeah, the fucktards thing is a bit harsh but it definitly pulls you in.

Would you venture to say that it is "stupid?"

Re: MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
Considering the situation, it isn't that harsh. But it is potentially stopping new members and causing some delicate new ones to leave
Lol. I don't remember a time when Ceel's banning of someone was unjustified, even if it was perhaps slightly harshly so. And I'm sure I don't know why I was banned a couple of times, but the rest I do. Rofl. But yeah... I don't see anyone who's been here for more than a year and a half complaining - and these are the people that saw Ceel when he was a big bombad killing machine

Well, hell. I'm trying to be stupid in order to make a point about how people act on TGC.

Yes she has been because a lot of people have been creating drama around her, accusing her of stuff, and it has been all around unpleasant for her. Also she thinks that she should not be in so many staff slots, and that no one should for that matter. Heh, sounds like the exact opposite of power mongering to me.
Alright Ceel, I think that Kyp said that better. It is not harsh, it is just not the kind of thing you want the new person popping in seeing. Not stupid though.

She's tried to quit TGC several times in the last month and i've done all that I can to keep her here, but she is being driven away by some of your fellow members, and she does not deserve what she's putting up with.

Re: MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
Well me and Korran and even at time Kyp have had problems. But those were just little things that really don't matter.
And If I have been a problem, like I said, then I will leave with out hesitation.

If I gave Korran pompoms he'd be my cheerleader tonight. It's all rather surreal and worrying.
But I think that your post was accurate. This is stupid, but it's not as stupid as the situation itself. When a group of people that haven't been here very long cause one of the TGC veterans - and one who isn't competent by any means! - to leave by sending around false accusations, there is a need for something to be done.
And, sometimes, the things that have to be done are retarded. But what the hey, it's less retarded than most of the posts on TGC on a normal day

Re: MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
Quote: Yes you're in charge, you're also the most pompous bastard on this board. I have never seen you post something nice to anyone but one of your 'inner circle' members.
I have to say that I disagree with this point. Sure, Ceel can be a bit brash at times. Also, he's very opinionated. Still, for the most part, he's very respectful to people as long as they come to him with an equal respectful attitude. Close mindedness and rude comments only bring on the exact same in response.
This, this whole thread is Ceel's way of fixing the problem. As of late, there has been a lot of hostility coursing through members. The Staff identify and acknowledge this problem. Hence why it was said, if you have a problem, speak your mind.
I love this site. You love this site. We all love this site. Still, there's the problem of it being full of human beings. Now, I know what you're thinking.
"Omg. How can that be a problem?"
It's really not. But, no two people can -always- get along. Meaning, there's always going to be conflict. There's always going to be disagreements. The problem isn't the fact that people fight. The problem is how people handle these conflicts.
The trend, it seems, is to simply talk trash behind people's backs. I'll use TGCAnony as an example. The convos are up in DonFatso's. There's a lot of smack talking about Soph. Never once was she actually IM'd by this individual so that she could defend herself properly. Just as there have been people who have talked @#%$ behind my back and never once IM'd me to tell me directly.
Anyway, we're all people here. Of course we're going to differ in opinions and differ in values. That's just who and how we are. We all can't be the same and like the same exact thing. That would be boring. There would be no such thing as individuality.
Yes, this is the interwebs. Yes, I know to check my values at the door. However, this is supposed to be fun for everyone. So, let's practice tolerance and maturity. TGC is a gathering for people who share a common passion. The love of Star Wars. Let's not get our knickers in a twist over some Star Wars nerd.
Yes, that means you. You come to a Star Wars roleplaying board and talk about Star Wars, read about Star Wars, roleplay Star Wars, or a combination of those three. You're a Star Wars nerd too. No use denying it.

Ok ahem, enough of that. Meh, I do not see it as stupid, though I guess I can see the angle that you are coming from Ceel. I still think it is just a risk.
And yeah, we don't have any real rival boards out there anymore it still never hurts to pull in members.

Re: MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
I know I said I wouldn't post again, but I guess I lied
Sorry Ceel for arguing with you. You were nothing but kind to me ever since I joined a few months ago. I shouldn't be questioning the way you run this board. I don't know what it's like to be an admin of a large board such as TGC. I probably never will. I shouldn't be even suggesting how to run your board.
I still don't agree with the list, but maybe pming didn't work in the past. I shouldn't be questioning the way you do things, and I'm sorry for doing just that in my last couple of posts.

Re: MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
Dangit, ok now I'm gonna have to start thinking about every word I write. Ok, not really a risk. What I'm getting at is that if a possible member came by and saw that title they may go... "this place doesn't look so happy... I'm not gonna hang here."

The staff issues warnings and in worst case scenarios we issues bannings. This is the public way of doing things and its necessary because the ignorant people among us need to see the that their actions makes the rest of the community very very angry.

Better than 50 unhappy members being tormented by the actions of members who should know better than to behave as they do.

Re: MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
Hey, Ceel speaking of which if you have any staffing positions open that I could fill I would appreciate it.
I write one article a month for Dragon Mag. now
And after that I have nothing to do till next month. So TGC has basically become my life

Re: MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
I wouldn't say tormented...
But annoyed. Definitely so. And it's usually the same people that do this as those that cause most of the other problems. I doubt that even those who dislike me and get annoyed by me a lot would count me as someone who should be banned. If they do, fair enough, but, erm... yeah.. >.>
Oh, I remember. If they do, then it's their opinion. But I'm sure that if it got to a point where I was harming the board with my actions, or harming valuable members' activity level then I would be brought to justice. If it is someone fairly new, or even five people, I would happily trade them for Spark. Shame it's not possible, but it would be worth it. Whether those named are those to blame, however, I don't know.

If anything, I think the sign draws attention - which, correct me if I am wrong, would be part of the intent, too?

Re: MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
Keep your bullshit down guys, I heard it all the way over on my side of EZboard and @#%$ with the wiki. Now it looks like I'm having my IP hunted with only having one post on the site.
I'm cool with that, though. The head of the administration here seems exceedingly juvenile, far more than what I did.
