Are you making the sammiches or is Steve?
Steve, because the sammiches you make are long gone and people under Steves command now makes the sammiches.

Alienware is now part of Dell. A different brand, division, or whatever. Its still operated by Dell, therefore it is their hardware.

« on: February 07, 2011, 11:54:42 PM »this issue isnt a black or white argument. im sure you want this to be as simple as
1) kalph
2) ephi
and from your posts, you seem to think a popularity count is important so i guess:
1) kalph IIIII IIIII IIIII
2) ephi III
there you go sheath. kalph wins! oh god drama is so great when it can be wrapped up so simply!
Huh? Are you trying to address this discussion or are you going to post trash until everyone gets tired.
well the children are pleased. now we can move on to the real discussion.
You countlessly have referred to everyone but yourself as a kid or child. You are being the most childish person here as far as I'm concerned, while I don't agree with the others necessarily I like how they are at least trying to respond with things that add to the discussion.
to be fair, its a tab i never close.
Maybe that fairness should be applied in some of your other posts.

You have failing to read a lot of the responses here, a lot of your posts have been irrelevant jargon so I wouldn't play that card if I were you.
Essentially what I gather is that you think Ephi is a douche but don't care because you can't do anything about it. Makes me wonder why you are arguing.

« on: February 07, 2011, 11:27:55 PM »you are the one who claims some internet reputation even matters.
Lol'd at how outrageous this is, but since thats not the matter we'll move on.
does ephi make less money now that more people hate him and wont use rtb? wait.....
Derp its freeware. Even if it wasn't, what relevance does this have?
does he lose his moderator status now that more people on blockland hate him? um.....
Thats not the point. I don't see why you are struggling so much to understand what everyone is saying here.

I like to think there is a difference between someone making up things and bitching about someone, and discussions regarding staff and board management, something that concerns me.
Not at all, it's like an admin clearing the bricks of something that defames him. Sure, other users can't do it, but they can ask an admin to.
Think you missed my point.
Anywhere in the world, exploiting an advantage you have over everyone else to benefit yourself will get you no credit from the people around you. I think this situation is only interesting because its Ephi who so gladly talks down to everyone. Having him commit actions that appear as if he is trying to control his reputation, especially since he so often declines any care of self-image, is amusing.

Using a moderator power to close topics about you when other users can't is douchey. Its the same basic concept of an admin on a server respawning himself in a DM when he dies. And if thats considered acceptable, he is a poor moderator. Whether that bothers you or not, whatever.

Keep in mind that we're dealing with a lot of computing power packed into a very small space. This translates to the fan being on much more (and sometimes all the time, even at windows idle) than on larger systems. We also only have one fan in this system, so it has to run at higher speeds than on systems with multiple fans or larger thermal solutions.

Er, what. The real issue is why do we have a moderator thats being accused of using moderator powers to benefit himself.

Nobody can stop Ephi doing what he wants in-game or on the forum really, but that doesn't vindicate him.

You are missing the point Bisjac, someone who moderates over a community can not then be a douche to the people who are part of it, regardless of what means he uses to communicate with the people. If you are enforcing better behavior and organization on a forum, you can not then harass members of the forum elsewhere. This is someone who now represents the board and the community. Nobody can stop Ephi doing what he wants in-game or on the forum really, but that doesn't vindicate him.
I don't really care who did what. I'm just saying if anyone needs to do the mature thing and let this go its Ephi.

We are a community. If you are a douche in-game, people won't like you on the forums. And vice versa.
