Well to me the best MOD is Talonblaze, i know we dont see everything you do, but from what we see, Talon is the best.

Talon seems mature and has well thought out posts, he doesn't seem snide like most of the other mods either.

And he is mean in GM - So I have to agree.

To be perfectly honest, I don't even know how I became a MOD.
If anything I was quite the little pain in the side for those that know about some of my huge walls of text.

Most of my started threads weren't quite as 'pro-z8' as many would have thought. I've even tried to go toe-to-toe with a few mods.
I have my fair share of complaint threads and everything else.

Heck, even looking through my past threads there was a few QQ's. lol.

Most of my stuff seemed to be from suggestions back before I became a MOD though, interestingly enough.

In a way, I think its not just always kiss ass threads that make you always eligible. I'm er... still trying to figure out what does it.

Talon your arguments were intelligent and kept as respectful as possible. You did go head to head a few times, but nothing in a manner of trolling or to much QQing. Though you're right, I'm not sure how it gets done either, one mystery I'll probably never solve.

we need the crossfire playing mods to play more, to make hackers less encourage to play in rooms, to hacker with common sense would join a game with a mod

Far from intelligent and respectful as possible.

"As possible". Considering the circumstances he was standing by rules the mod should have, he didn't just throw insults at him. Talon simply misunderstood the situation.

Making a thread about how a moderator is a cheater isn't being as respectful as possible. Being as respectful as possible would involve him sending in a report instead of making a thread for the public to see about what he believes.

What now kid?

The circumstances for that were a tad different during this time. Needless to say my options of bringing it just directly to the GM's wasn't possible traditionally.

Regardless I never stated that I was an intellectual individual. Far from it.

Meh. . . Being a MOD seems kind of annoying to deal with all these kids on the forums. o_o But it can't be that hard. Can it? o_O

It would seem to be a real pain in the butt for some of the stuff that they have to go through on these forums.

Wait... If I'm OP, does that mean I can get this closed by request?

Ofc, I'm surprised it hasn't been closed already.

You should get this closed, lmao. It's turning into a thread about flaming mods.

That rule didn't exist back then. And granted it wasn't the best course to take trying to get the community in on it. My point was he didn't outright throw insults or trash talk, he was pursuing the rules to what he understood.

And please stop calling me a kid, it makes you look like an idiot, which I'm sure you're not.

How didn't the rule not exist back then? Just because the Forum Rules and Conduct thread wasn't on the forum at the time, doesn't mean there weren't rules being enforced. I guess people were just running around free swearing at each other and posting ****ographic material all day because the thread didn't exist? Wrong, obviously.

Right right, he was pursuing the rules to what he understood and he didn't outright insult anybody. Your efforts in defending his inappropriate actions are laughable to say the least. You're the lowest of the low on these forums, giving it your best trying to make it seem as what he did wasn't wrong because he is now a moderator? You're a sad joke. Get out of the house and socialise.

I said that particular rule didn't exist because it didn't and yes it wasn't as enforced as much in the past, which is why it was added.

When did I say what he did was right? I'll repeat myself again saying he wasn't an outright troll throwing trash comments and insulting the mods. He was trying to uphold a rule and misunderstood what he was going against. Yes what he did was wrong, but you're completely ignoring the point I was making. That's in the past and he's changed, so arguing about this is meaningless.

And I find it sad that you would do so much just to attempt to degrade them. I'll defend anyone worth defending, I don't see people any different as mods.

Close this thread nao! ^_^
