    There are times when silence is golden. Silence can be taken many ways; as a sign of intelligence ... the quieter we become, the more we...

    Loud noise can be taken many ways too: as a sign of intelligence, and so forth.

    Not only are you posting information about me without my permission, you have fabricated it as well. If the moderators will not uphold the rules, then the moderators should step down.
    Ok, this may reignite the situation, but I certainly hope not.

    Star, Jar had a quote in his sig. This is not personal information. Personal information means Address, Phone Number, email... blah blah blah. Posting your username, from this forum, into his sig, also on this forum, does not constitute him breaking a rule.

    It can be viewed as petty, but so can you calling for Oski or myself to quit moderating because it's not an infraction.

    I really wish you guys would learn to get along. I've talked to all of you, I know you can be decent people. Even fun people. Let go of the crap and stupid arguments, disagreements, name calling...

    You're all better than that.

    @HappyFlow - If Star is posting in Off-Topic, and it doesn't have anything to do with making us buy crap off of some random site, then it's not really spam. Off-Topic is specifically made for posts that aren't On-Topic. It's THE place to post whatever you want as long as it conforms to the forum rules.

    People need to leave Star alone for posting in Off-Topic. It's NOT spam. It's not against the rules. Posting insults to EVERY StarFire post in Off-Topic IS.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_(electronic)
    Spam is the use of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately.

    At least according to wikipedia it is.
    I know I am not FORCED to read it but when searching the forums I definitely have to at least read the title.
    Shifty you also have to admit, you even were affected by it, that Starfire often grabs entire topics and posts something not in anyway related to it.

    Example: Thread Name:2 Years? Really? Seems shorter.

    Another characteristic I really dislike about him is that he tries to befriend with a mod to gain advantages and although I know that you are completely above all that Shifty and just try to be as objective as possible, I absolutely dislike that behaviour.
    He is only trying to abuse everyone. One day he wants all mods to step down (grab attention) the other day he wants to be your best buddy, in fear of the consequences his topics/posts may result in.

    Also trying to get me a warning for posting this:

    while he himself posted this:

    He even insulted me personally many times (with extremely harsh words).

    I know my statement above is not the most friendly. What I really wanted to say is that I just cannot imagine a person like Starfire writing a book (the idea seems weird to me). A writer (at least that is my definition of one) needs to be relaxed, knowing what he writes and how it will affect people. If a writer does not know how people will react to his written words he cannot write a book. So that would actually conclude that Starfire either knows this and what affect his words have on people, just trying to provoke them or he does not really fit into what I define a writer. You may argue with that point Shifty and since you are a writer as well you definitely know more about the qualities a novelist needs to have. Naturally I am not going to use friendly words since he offended me so many times..but by even comparing these two samples my point should be clear...

    I ignorred him for over half a year...I thought he may stop, he may change....but he always views other people as the problem.... and as long as that is the case.....he will always stay the same.

    My last post on that subject matter.

    I can understand that Star has posted some pretty far Off-Topic replies, but the example you used isn't really one of them. Star was responding to the bit of my post under the "Moderation" heading where I try to let you guys know how I am trying to handle this position. Star was actually right in that it can be hard to have any authority and use it in a way that follows the rules set by the Admin, while trying to not alienate people.

    I agree that Star can post random junk, but I also see that Star takes a lot of flak in any topic that Star makes, usually in Off-Topic. Off-Topic is a place for anyone to post conversations that don't have a specific spot in the forums. It can be about anything (within the rules) from the color of your dog's tail, to the potato cannon you just built.

    Nobody here should be attacked just for posting. Especially if they aren't breaking the rules.

    If you really don't like someone, then PLEASE use the FOE feature. This won't remove their topics, but it will hide their posts.

    PS: I am everyone's friend. Except WILLYUMZ, he's my civilized Arch-Nemesis.

    Thanks Shifty.

    Raist, I'll be toning down. I've already scrapped 2 new threads. It's apparent to me that people are bleeding, and I need to tone down for them. So no, I won't satisfy your pleasure in seeing arguments still remember that private message). But I don't think you get why I post so much. Anyways, cya around people.
