There are two reasons I remember the details accurately: I was directly involved and I value justice, unlike you do. You did not take the extra step to find out more information and repair your inaccurate recollection because you are not the kind of person that cares about facts.
Well that's just slander. I do care about facts, I just knew that even if you pressed on my recollection I could still have the upper hand. The fact of the matter remains that Ephialtes locked a topic and two subsequent recreations of that topic, then upon seeing the community reaction allowed one topic to continue. To bring this back to the original point: this does not qualify as losing his stuff.
I guess locking 2/3 was fair, but what you didn't mention is the complete removal of 2 topics and the locking of 3 before they could reach maturity. The most important part of the situation is exactly the part you forgeted up.
Your posts were off the deep end, seriously. The two topics of yours he deleted were straight up smearing him. Flaming is a bannable offense on this forum, even if it is "justified," despite the fact that it's really not because you are the one that was in the wrong.
If you replaced both "he" and "Ephialtes" with "Kalphiter", your argument is identical. Going on a public forum and criticizing something is not the same thing as visiting its office and throwing a brawl. Consider his actual website the "office". I have to deal with stuff in my thread whereas Ephialtes can just wish it away. From what I got out of that, Ephialtes is OK to delete my posts because he has the power, just like he has the power to kick anyone out of his office; that doesn't mean it's right. Great job, way to prove you lack morality.
Yes. The argument is identical. I never said Ephialtes wasn't using his admin powers to his benefit, I said he never lost his stuff. He was using his admin powers to benefit, but that doesn't matter for two reasons. The first being that the powers are given to him unconditionally. Badspot never gave him a rule set to follow, just an implied one. Ephialtes is not infringing upon any regulations of his power by doing this. The second is that even if you feel it is morally wrong you have to suck it up and deal with it. You simply cannot have him removed from power. It cannot happen. I'm sorry. It can't. Try to look at this from a neutral stance for one moment. Not only has Ephialtes been a moderator for a long time now, but he is the sole proprieter of the single largest mod for Blockland. Not only this, but literally nearly the entire Blockland add-on system, which is the largest system this game has, nearly depends on RTB. It doesn't only make sense for Ephialtes to be admin, he's got Badspot over a loving barrel. But as far as "Going on a public forum and criticizing something is not the same thing as visiting its office and throwing a brawl" goes, you're not simply criticizing. This I've repeated again and again. You're stuffposting. Your posts are worded in a way that
will cause an argument. He's allowing you in his establishment (his thread), he's allowing you to talk (post), and the only time he kicks you out is when you say things that will start an argument. This seriously seems like a very, very fair compromise. If you don't want your comments removed, phrase them in a way that won't start an argument. They will not be removed.
Insulting as a reason for a low-quality, incorrect or invalid argument by stating precisely a possible cause is an OK supplement to an argument. Accusing someone of making a fallacy by taking only the insult away and by ignoring what that someone said as his actual counterargument is a fallacy within itself.
Arguments should never be made against the person you are arguing against, but against their argument. Telling them they are wrong does not improve your argument. Telling them they're uniformed doesn't either. It's really just irrelevant. It shows an immature academic voice and is telltale of a bad argument. I'm not saying your argument is bad, I'm just informing you that doing that isn't something you should do.
There's really no reason to delete something like that because the point is still made; the point obviously hit home because the issue went unrecorded and its silencing went ordered. It's the same thing but with a little bit of sarcasm in the same style of Lub's posts on my thread.
The fact that your post was made for the intent to "hit home" literally proves my point. Previously you were arguing that your statement was simple criticism, but now you've revealed that there was an intended insult inlaid with your criticism. This makes it a stuffpost.
No, they're not. Those threads weren't stuff posts, yet they were silenced. Many more examples of that.
Every single relevant post (not topic) deleted by Ephialtes was a stuffpost. Every single relevant topic that was deleted by Ephialtes was slander. The first three locked topics were arguably locked for no reason, and that Ephialtes used his power to his benefit by locking them. This isn't misuse of his power, though. It's simply use. As I stated before, it is impossible to use his powers in the wrong way because there is no wrong way to use his powers.
