In the future I suggest you earn some respect through good performance (at whatever your doing) instead of trying to convince people your a bad man through behavior I would expect from a 13 year old. This is exactly why we have mods on the forums to stop silly little threads like this turning completely away from topic and into have a go at a person threads how you have just done. If you had stuck to your first arguments it may have won me over.

Serious people are what make this world not fun. To me, you are the fool for being so serious over lame issues. You don't have to make every little or trivial thing in to a big deal. Take an f-ing chill pill and lighten up and possibly have some cake  .

You are not innocent of this yourself my friend. You think you are hot stuff when it comes to JKA. You are pretty good but that doesn't make you superior to anyone. Not everyone plays a game to win like you do. A lot of people play games to have fun! I have told you this countless times, but you can't seem to grasp that concept. The difference between both you and JJ someone directly to their face, while you insult them behind their back. They are both wrong in the end, but your method is more cowardly. Back to your arguement about the JAK+ locking threads, you should know by now that threads they lock would have turned to flame wars eventually. This thread is the perfect example of it. This thread wasn't locked because they would have looked like jerks if they did it, but now it makes sense that the JAK+ lock threads like these. You are proof of that now. Your original intentions were about locking threads, and they quickly changed to insulting a person. Congratulations on turning this debate in to a flame fest!

Well, with the ownership of a community/forum come certain privileges - doing whatever you want, to whatever/whomever whatsoever at whatever time, for whatever reasons or lack thereof, without having to justify anything to whomever at all. The degree of hypocrisy or disagreement matters little to not at all, and in most cases, whomever may dislike whatever is going on may usually receive a polite reminder that he isn't obliged to stay.

While I agree that locking threads based on offensive language and ridiculous flamewars is, of course, necessary for the forums. I cannot hold my tongue on this one. Locking a thread because it starts a relatively beaten dead horse debate is wrong in my opinion. No matter who starts a thread they must be allowed to speak their mind at least to some degree. When the leaders of this academy start deciding what issues you may talk about and what you may not talk about on the forums (aside from the obvious inappropriate content) the forums lose all meaning. Open forums must be just that, OPEN or they don't serve their purpose. If the JAK+ decide to constantly over-steer the topics of conversation, then your really not listening to your 'public' opinion on how the members want the JA run, just telling us how we want it to be run.
Now if thats what you were going for, I guess no appeal from me is going to change this, but I'd suggest taking notice of my words or this place will continue its downward slide into the abyss, just like so many locked threads. *Special note for those who talk about cake: Changing the topic randomly is a fool's way out of a more important conversation. *Special note for Hardwired: You cannot slander someone on internet forums, Slander is spoken, In written form the infraction is known as 'libel'. *Special note for JJ/iPlank: Please stop shooting your mouth off on every thread like your the hot stuff, you have said some very offensive things to me in the past and i took them because A: I knew I could beat you senseless in JKA. and B: Virtue has your back (God knows why) which would just make it rough for me to tell you how I feel without taking flak.

Hahah but seriously omg, people who've just joined the site can't possibly get uppity about their opinions and ideas on this place when they're not taken seriously. I could walk into any old office and tell them how I think they should run things, and they'd tell me to gtfo. It'll happen here too.  |

I will adress the locking of the last thread only, as each one has it's own story to tell.
This little beauty was locked on several points. It was in most viewpoints unproductive. The same views were exchanged over and over again with the same people expressing them. And each side presented their own viewpoints off as fact. It's a neverending loop of yes and no replies. And these things can get rather large, making the database grow large, making the reading of it slow down. Basicly it had been discussed several times before with the same result. None. Another aspect was the cheap shots. I will not allow someone to smear their malcontent on the academy in the form of baseless slander. Using a few fancy words and making no sense does in no way give said poster a correct point of view. There were a few instances of direct attack against the JA as a whole, a baseless one at that. And I have better things to dowith my time than to defend it from every yahoo that gets kicks out of pissing people off. So at the end of the day it boils down to this. I lock thread that serve the JA little or no interest in continuing. Threads that may or may not be a breedingground for personal conflic and/or grandstanding. The mod discussion is dead as a doornail. LEt it rest in piece. - HW _______________ ::Nothing wrong with a little shooting.....as long as the right people get shot:: |

Uhm, i don't think anyone actually tried to change anything, but was rather exchanging opinions on how things are.
There is a difference between something not being 'up for debate' whereas 'debate' would entail participation in policy-decisions, and a general prohibition of discussing the value and reasonability of said policy-decisions, even though the discussion may have no impact on the actual decisions themselves. _______________ Find out more about the Jedi Academy Aurochs here and more about Masta here!

Your discussion of the mods was by no means the first. The reasons why JAE were once again explained and so the thread had run its course.
Discussion is encouraged but that does not mean the JA is a democracy, with 10,000 accounts, some of which are duplicates and with the occasional trouble maker, a democracy on an internet site simply wouldn't work. And I expect this thread will run its course shortly too. _______________ I can write my name with my sparkler. My sparkler > your lightsabre |
