I think you're taking shit too seriously.

Your story was truly lame. Why don't you just go beg somewhere else for people to get you an ipod since you don't seem to want to work for it yourself. wtf...

Your worse your 20 and biaching about a stolen ipod. Either work to get money and pay for your referrals or the ipod or stfu. Someone said it before this is a trading site where freeipod referrals are at a premium.

i started the thread in an "off-topic" board to discuss a moderator. which is perfectaly fine. im discussing it because i have an issue with somethng that was said and i was bringing it to peoples attention because ive seen it alot. believe me, i dont care if you care. im just letting people know.

To tell you the truth, Stroid would probably be much more kind to you all if people stopped breaking the rules. It's hard to be nice when most everyone here acts as though we are paid to do this. WE AREN'T. Be thankful the admin/mod team here does as good of a job as we do, and if we are too frank for you...well...you can leave. Our job is to moderate these forums, not hold your hand and make sure we don't use any "bad words" on this oh-so-censored thing called the internet. That said, Tim507, you have 8 posts...how'd you manage to piss someone off already?

first of all i didnt break any rules. second of all i did not say a moderator is supposta hold anybody's hand. If anything a moderator shouldnt be talking about peoples post like that. they should help sovle problems not add to them.

tim507

29-06-2005 00:25:35

and the only reason this is being discussed is because a moderator was adding to the problem, not helping solve it. so if your asking me how [b952fe4fb5a]I[/b952fe4fb5a] pissed people off, thats how.

They told you the solution so follow up on it. This topic and that topic needed no further discussion and were closed soon after. Greens dont magically happen on this site so thats why theirs a trading section. Go do some hw and find out how the site works and dont bother the mods with questions that dont require future discussions.

I wonder what that "f" in "stfu" stands for? Can anyone help me out here?

I'm not going to ban you, but you're beating a dead horse...we speak how we like and we will continue to do so. I didn't even look at the other topic and I'm not going to...basically if you can't handle the way we carry ourselves, then don't come here.

stfu isnt a curse word. and even if the f standed for it its still not the word,.buturl==http://=http:///url thats besides the point. im ending the discussion right now but..i guess its my fault tho because every messageboard ive used moderators wernt like that..but what i was saying up above (including this paragraph) wanst directed at all moderators just the one that cause this problem. thank you for being understandable. -tim

yep, triple post. maybe that could be my title. triple poster that would be awesome. haha

29-06-2005 00:52:34

I'm confused you can say STFU but he can't say BS?

You aren't talking about gay are you? That word has lost all meaning and can't possibly be taken as derogatory towards homosexuals anymore...

I'm sure if you do a history search everyone on here has said something worse than what Stroid said in that line. I know I have.

tim507

29-06-2005 00:55:45

dude...it was the fact that he "knew my story was bs" without knowing anything behind it. he was like omg someone took his ipod blablabla omg its bs. not that he actually said "bs"...again this tread is resurected.

thats just like a judge saying your guilty before seing the evidence

tim507

29-06-2005 00:56:47

no i wasnt talking about gay either.



just so i dont "keep posting"...
some people have gotten what i have said because my instant messanger has been flooded with people agreeing with me.

but then again we have the other people who just dont get it.

i just did. edited my posts before, i thought of it because i was considerate. but thats one thing i can agree with.

theysayjump

29-06-2005 01:10:29

the way i see it, is i think people (nearly everyone who responded in the original thread) could've responded a bit better than the way they did. this guy didnt need flamed, he didnt have to be spoken to the way he was, all he was aking for was help.

if he had searched this forum prior to posting, he probably would have read that it was highly highly unlikely, that anyone would give him a freeipod referral.

these forums are open to one and all, we talk the way we wanna talk, we say what we wanna say. if you get banned, then you will be banned for the wrong reason.......for no reason.

if you have a problem with people speaking this way, then dont use these forums. if you would like to continue using these forums, then id suggest keeping a low profile till this blows over. otherwise more people will see this, more will dislike you (for whatever reason) and less people will help/trade with you.

thats just my 9 cents.

Just a few points

1) Life's a bitch. You can't go around asking for handouts and expect lollipops and smiles. This applies exponentially more on the internet, land of liars and fakes.

2) Your access to these forums is completely free of charge and, as a result, completely provisional. The downside to this is that your access may be removed or limited at any time, for any reason. The upshot? If you don't like it, you're absolutely free to leave and never return.

3) Stroid and the other moderators work incredibly hard to keep this place running smoothly. When I read your story I also thought to myself, "BS", I just chose to keep it to myself.

4) A post by a moderator, unless specified in that post, is not immediately and without question the official 'stance' of FreeiPodGuide on any given issue. Stroid's post was CLEARLY a personal feeling. You're blowing it way out of proportion.

5) If you double or triple post again, I'm going to remove your access, and I wont even feel bad about it.

6) If you feel like you were "treated unfairly" because you were bullied on some internet forums because you posted a difficult-to-believe sob story about having your iPod stolen, you have other problems. I suggest you unplug your modem and spend a few minutes living in the real world.

damn i wish i was here for this discussion to bad i was asleep. Anyways Tim i have the right to say whatever it is that i want. I actually did u a favor by locking your thread for the simple fact that everyone else was already flaming you so i put a end to it so actually you can thank me not create a thread to complain about me. I have been a moderator for a long time now and i dont need someone that is new to this site coming here and being inconsiderit to me on his first day here. So i will not be appologizing and to be honest it kinda pisses me off that you think you can complain about this.


And compfreak do i not have a right to a opinion....or are u just saying that cause we took your mod powers away cause i dont think you would have said that before is someone bitter.

Bottom line is that the thread shouldn't have been locked. It's up to us to decide whether he's lieing or not. The thread wasn't pushy or anything. When I saw that it had been and what had been said to describe why, I will admit that I was a little steamed that someone would abuse their powers like that. That said, I didn't start a thread or complain because it's just not something you should do in a public forum.

Interesting, I could have sworn that was for us, as administrators/moderators of this forum, to decide.


[quotee676f845fb="Rules"]3) Disrespect of moderators or administrators will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. As a general rule, show them the respect they deserve.

...

7) Do not post topics asking why another topic was locked. Do not PM moderators/admins about a post lock/edit, avatar change, or any other action and point out rules. You may POLITELY ask why your thread/sig/avatar was closed, VIA PM, ONCE. You are not to argue with moderators/admins about their decisions. Especially bad is quoting these rules and asking which one you violated, or otherwise having an attitude. [/quotee676f845fb]

This is not actually a public forum, it is accessable/ viewable to the "public"

Your statement is like saying a person who allows people to use his tiolet in his house then receives complaints from those people that they are not allowed to smoke, is being completely unfair and abusing his power.

People are only allowed to use the forum based on their willingness to follow the rules and guidelines established and enforced by the Admin and those who help him.

I guess when you put it that way it makes sense. It was kind of turning into a flame fest and I can understand locking it under those circumstances. My only real problem was that that was not the reason given and in fact the words used were rather harsh.

I see it as some new guy comes on the board asking for free referrals for freeipods.com (hardest site to get) because his was stolen. This may be true but many newbies have come on here, telling the same or similar story, and expect it to be a charity case, where as all the current members on here have worked long and hard for their referrals. Members start to get aggitated with repeated attempts of people trying to get free referrals and start flaming. I think Stroid did the right thing with locking it early because the flaming would have gotten much worse. People, its the internet, move on, get over it and start trading.
