Did any of you stop to think that if unixmad does not change the forums despite all your complaints, that maybe he doesn't want them changed? I can assure you that he does see the complaints, as he has told me that he gets many complaints about me.

And guess what...part of my job is not arguing for you members of the forums, but if I felt strongly about something, I would fight for it. I suggest if you feel strongly about something, you fight for it yourself, the same as I would, but in an appropriate way, and the appropriate place.

I think we covered this a lot multiple times in the thread and you want to say you repeat yourself a lot?

There are no other means and you know it as well as we do. You hold all the cards and all the power of change.

We are nothing but text on the screen to you and dollars in the pocket of unixmad, you would rather have dead forums, and he would rather ban us all to make it enjoyable for 2 or 3 people (who likely would be sucking up for a global position).

Ugh.

I feel strongly enough to say that the first step to getting change around these forums and getting rid of The Forum Admin. You fail@graal. Go play WoW like the other older ladies. I can ensure you that I wont ever be paying for this game at this rate. And its been years since i brought the Infernix account.

Then I guess this forum will wither away. Has Uniximad said anything about complaints about how theses forums are run and the rules, and not so much about you? Cause that's what I care about. I think you're doing what you think you ought. But, what I think we need to be pushing for is some lenience in the rules. I mean, I know this is proubably "against the rules," but MAN is Uniximad being stuck up and full of himself. I mean, no offense to anybody but this is a low grade, cheap, pitiful excuse for a game. I mean, theres that charm and whatnot that keeps us Graalians attached to the game for a long time, but it never has and never will compare to the...I guess you could say "REAL" games. Unix needs to get a reality check, I say.

Pleas slap yourself, PLEASSSSEEEEEEEEEE. We asked for your support, youve turned us down so now everyone is going to want your removed as Admin. End of story, just quit now. Would it be against a rule for me and others to post "I disapprove of forum Moderation".

Kinda rude, eh? I mean, seeing the way you like to be a douchebag on these forums, I'm not surprised why she's the nazi-moderator. Give her a break, sheesh.

And, Unix, if you are watching in your apparently holy seat of ignoring-ness. Give US a break.

O please, I was being nice as hell and now I'm guess what, I'm pissed. So I really don't care. I'm not going to sit here and pretend I like her in any possible way.

And why dont you? Lets look at the facts

Unixmad dosent listen to us when we ask questions, hell, he dosent even talk to us. The only time I ever talked to unixmad Personally was about New World somewhere around FIVE YEARS AGO and he only sent me a one line reply, and nothing after that.

He talks to you on a regular basis, and listens to you.

Already I would say you have all the power and control, but need I continue?

He dosent seem to respect our opinion
He listens to yours

Please don't think so highly of yourself, if anything the community wants you removed.

Oh please, you all complain endlessly about Darlene when you should be complaining about the rules. She enforces the rules from the beginning to the ending period of the last sentence.


You guys are mad that she actually does her job, when you should be mad at the rules, in which case the administration could give three hoots since really it's not hard to follow the damn rules.

The bold part really made me laugh. Read the thread Gambet rofl.

Heres some stuff Ive said.

Read:

Moderation needs to be more Lenient and the rules need to be changed in order to better the community. For this to be done we need the support of the Moderation team.

Do we have that, and are we All ready to make a effort to have Unixmad change things for the better? If we come together as a community there is no doubt things are going to be changed. We hold the power working together than splitting up into "teams."

LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE DIDNT READ THE THREAD AND AS USUAL COMES IN HERE POSTING WHATEVER TRYING TO LOOK BETTER IN THE EYES OF UPPER MANAGEMENT.

Sorry for my caps but this really bugs me, cant you help out once in your life by contributing a useful point to any discussion? Even something as importaint as this without trying to push your own personal vendettas?

It's always said that it's Unixmad's forum. Is it possible to take up some initiative? Some empowerment? If you don't like something, don't just sit there and take it: stand up and tell them. Take initiative. You might gain respect from the person. If not, probably not worth working for. If a forum administrator is empowered (Moonie, Sam, Someone else : whoever!), it should be a load of weight of Unixmad's back anyways. Forums will be able to deal with change on a more consistent basis.
