    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

You would think so. You have enough time to demote VD and join in the drama in this thread but not enough time to ban Spacemoose, TNP, Riso, NL, Percolator and all the other spammers. Glad you have your priorities straight.
Nothing wrong with taking some time to think about who you want to ban straight away, again. Also, what Nutcracker said. You were on the right track with your suggestion to take a breather. Pity you're not doing it.

I don't need a breather. Stop telling me and VD to take breathers, we're not in the ones in the wrong here. I think it would be better if the other side took a breather, they need to reflect on how stupid they're being. Your little coup was obviously a failure from the beginning and is going to end in disaster.

You volunteered to take a breather Sheek. Somewhere along the line though, you thought you'd try and set a Guinness world record for the amount of cock you could cram into your mouth.

Who's cock would that be faggot?

I volunteered to leave (not 'take a breather') because I thought it could do some good. Then I realized the entire staff team is on the lulzers' side (or seems to be) - and some even thought the 'revolution' was good fun - and I don't see why I should.

Back before banning became an option at the Codex, I had to figure out how I could stay on the site, but weed out crap so that the useful stuff would be visible. I ended up installing Greasemonkey scripts that allowed me to "ban" users (they only appeared banned to me), block ugly sigs, downsize huge images, and so on. If we have such problems with VD's banning spree, and yet we have such problems with the lulzers, is something like user-configured settings worth considering? It gets rid of (some) bans, but also allows people to custom-build what they each individually consider to be a "decent" Codex.

I think that goes against the egalitarian spirit of the Codex, and is in fact a worse punishment than banning. Everyone's opinions should be seen and judged, and if necessary rejected. I think having an ignore function would be a danerous step.

There are other things to do VD, other paths to talk and start interesting discussions about CRPGs without having to put up with old problems and new opportunisms.
No doubts.

I would have more sympathy for VD if his actions made any sense. I'm not going to pretend I don't think all the "lulz" is retarded and has screwed up this once great forum, and I do agree with a lot of what VD said about what this site could be versus where it's going, but there's still that glaring fact that he gave KC moderator powers. Unless there's some secret rational thinking behind that...
The answer is very simple and logical. If you're dying to know, PM me.

Why is it a glaring fact? Just because, as we've already established, you just personally don't like me? Also, another reason he gave me mod powers to give me an incentive to stop spamming

Before anyone believes that shit and starts repeating it around, I can guarantee that's absolutely not true. Not one staff member was amused by that business the other day.

Will the admins' still be using their moral compass to guide them in their adventures of banishing? I really can't be bothered with a place where I might get warned/dumbfucked/banned etc. for having a go at jews or the holocaust, so I'd like that cleared up. I'm not otherwise interested in this whole kerfuffle.

Oh, and I'd just like to (sincerely) thank Vault Dweller for years of often more, and rarely less, interesting reading, despite you going out on what I think is a low note.

I don't know what part of the idea that "you contribute nothing but crap to the forum" is hard for you to understand..

I also don't know why you have this fetish for the idea that I care about what you're like "personally". I judge based on what you provide to the forum.

Also, another reason he gave me mod powers to give me an incentive to stop spamming

Is this a joke? Did you reread this sentence before you hit "submit"?

LOL @ incentive. We'd better make the petty thief a magistrate so he stops stealing shit then. The fact is that as a moderator you are not respected by GDers, because of yourpast track record and also your partisan moderating. What GD needs is either someone like ViolentOpposition to mod it, or a neutral outsider who doesnt normally post there.

Why does he need to be respected? Who cares? All he he needs to do is to send spammy threads to retardoland and occasionally edit a post for NSFW reasons which he does fine. He doesn't need to be popular.

Resentment over KC's position was a contributing factor to the revolution, that much is clear.

KC can have his little kingdom. I just wish we had a separate DMZ to bullshit in, not tied to the frontpage, with minimal moderation

I do get an ironic chuckle out of spamgirl now being the one responsible for sending spam to retardo. And if nothing else it shows you can go from being banned for posting NSFW to being a forum mod, maybe even president!

That much is clear? To who, you and spacemoose? Or do you just mean you're insisting it's true because you're retarded?

It's not my fault you're too dumb to get it, as your caricature shows. It obviously made sense to VD and none of you have been able to show me how I've been spamming since I've become mod, despite my repeated demands that you do.

OH NOES, WITHOUT YOUR RESPECT I CAN'T RETARDO THREADS MY POWERS DWINDLE

When DU locked my thread it was 5-4 in favour of getting a new mod for GD. I win. Sorry kid, but youre just not moderator material.

You're not getting it - moderator status should not be a reward for retarded behaviour. I didnt really care when you got made mod, but now ive seen what you do with that power, i'm against it. Luckily every admin agrees that it was a retarded decision, and your days are probably numbered. Maybe then you can start spamming the MMORPG section, and someone might make you moderator of it.

You're not getting it - it wasn't.
but now ive seen what you do with that power, i'm against it.
Why do you keep saying this? What is it that I'm doing with the power that is so awful? You and spacemoose keep insisting but every time I ask you you hand me a one liner and dodge the question.
