I need to put him on ignore.
I'm tired of reading his bullshit.

Or maybe just restate the expectation that all NWS content be either clearly marked or put into the NWS forum. So that he understands it's a rule and not something to whine about.

At least I can see the argument for the youtube shit.

Wow, and I thought you were a cool guy miir, what a miserable mistake I made.

A car forum moderator is really unnecessary anyways!

I agree on the removal, but not for the same reason!

Perhaps this is a good time to review the necessity of mods in several of the forums. The car forum is not the only one with an unnecessary moderator.

It would be nice to be able to ignore Funk, though.

Miir

Just don't read his posts, trust me it is not hard to do.

I can't remember anyone giving a shit about what you had to think about Miir's desire to put someone on ignore.

Why don't you just PM Sylvus and try to get him banned? It worked before...

No shit. The little VV Ratpack goes into action.

waaaa...he annoys me on a flameboard!

The way things are going, this board will be rated G and featured on Disney's Home Page as a recommended site.

Cart should be unbanned and people should figure out how to scan and skip posts without getting all bent out of shape.

Oh seriously fuck off with the drama and hyperbole. No one is asking anyone to be banned. There is an ignore feature here for a reason, but it can't be used on some people. Several forums, not just Cars have mods for no good reason, and those people cannot be ignored as a result. Just clean up the mod situation, and people can use the ignore function as they see fit. As far as I'm concerned, there's no real reason for there to be a moderator on any of the forums here.

I've been saying that for years!

I just checked the moderator logs and 38 of the last 50 actions were mine. I use my mod rights to keep the comic post threads up to date when new comics are added, etc. In this sense, the ability to keep things in order is very useful.

Of the other 12 mod actions over the past year notby me, there are a couple new account spam bans, couple thread split/merges, and a couple deleted posts (which anyone can do if your post is the last in the thread with no one having posted after you)


Here's the official mod release database for phpbb 3:

There you have it, folks!

Proof that we cannot live without our moderators!

Have you hugged a moderator today?

Agreed, I'd like to be able to ignore him as well. Don't see any reason to ban him, but don't see any reason I shouldn't be unable to ignore his stupidity either.

Hate to break it to you, but I have about 35 different moderator actions in the VG forum. Merging threads, splitting threads, and dropping posts into the correct subforums.

Frankly it's annoying to me when I go to some of the other forums and this type of simple 'organizational moderation' isn't occurring. If people don't want to moderate that's fine, but let someone who's willing to do that shit do it.

wow. just wow.

I'm just about done with this place. cya.

Yeah, I can't tell what I'm seeing on the moderator logs. Mostly Comic but with some others thrown in from other forums. Didn't mean to shortchange your moderating.

Main point of this is that it's lame to use ignore. Beyond controlling NWS images a little tighter, there's no reason to ignore peeps. The use of spoiler tags to hide images (lots of images like the motivational post had for example) helps to keep the scrolling to a minimum after you've seen the images and just want to browse the thread without all the images zooming by.

Cart should never have gotten more than a temp ban of a week or so. Weak sauce.

The whining about embedded Youtube videos is lame as well.

LAME!

Don't be such a fucking drama queen.



In the 3 years that Funk been a moderator in the Cars forum he has never once ever done any moderation.
Removing his mod status is meaningless except for the fact that it will give a bunch of posters the ability to ignore him.

The cars forum wouldn't exist if it wasn't for me. I have moderator rights because of that, and because I asked for them.

I get attacked nearly every time I post, and I don't have anyone on ignore. Grow a pair.

Not wanting to read your shitty posts doesn't mean someone doesn't have a "pair" you fucking imbecile.

why is it hard to just not read his posts? It works fine for me. Occasionally I will see what he is saying for the simple laugh, but not reading one persons posts are pretty easy to do yourself.

LOL. You're such a hypocritical little bitch. You put people on ignore all the fuckimg time you socially inept fucking monkey.

Wow. Just...wow.

What did you babies do before the ignore function?

Had high quality insults, debates and flame wars.

Nothing like the rampant trolling that we have now.

Nobody wants to ignore because they disagree or because they were insulted by them. It's the non-stop trolling and plain stupidity without reason.

This.

This thread is as good as any to share some things I've been thinking about lately.

Many of us have known each other for a good long while. I'm thinking about 7-9 years, depending on when we met in EQ. I don't know about you all, but my life is completely different than it was back then. I'm making 3 times more than I did, nabbed a wife, bought a house, had a child ( have another due in October), and have advanced in all sorts of other areas of life since the time this particualr board has started.

However, here on this board, I've tried to remain the same foul mouthed, rude person I was when we first started back in the IGN days. So, while everything else in life has matured and gone forward, at times I feel like my persona on this board just hasn't gone anywhere. It's a weird type of thing to think about.

I post on other boards where the attitude nothing but respect and such. Don't get me wrong, being so different than every other board out there was one of the main reasons I liked posting here. However, that same attitude may very well be the downfall of this board in the long run. At one time, I felt "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen". Now, I have so much more going on in my life, I think "if it gets too hot, why bother staying in the kitchen?".

I think we all can agree that we've lost a great deal of regular posters on this board. I for one, wouldn't like to see anyone else leave. We will not be getting any new members, so what we have is all we've got. Sometimes when I read threads and it's just random name calling, like Nick is a drunk Irishman or Mydnight trolling the Current events and everyone responding with the usual, resulting in a whirlwind of insults, I take a step back and think "I'm 33 years old. Why do I come here?".

I'm not the kid I was all those years ago and it's hard to keep the act up here. Am I the only one who feels this way?

I'd like to think I've matured a lot, but thankfully, I still enjoy good, offensive toilet humor.

I'll be laughing at farts until the day I die.

The board does suffer from a lack of new people because there's really no reason for new people to come here. VV is just a smaller version of any other board that tries to cover all topics.

It's strength is that you get to know the "online" personalities of its posters. There is enough diversity here that you'll learn something new from time to time and also get points of view from various nationalities.

If VV becomes a general info board with no character, it's going to fade faster than it has. People seem to want to weed out posters for this and that. Banning Cart was lame. Ignoring people on a flame board is weak and a sign that you have no ability to scan posts and move on without getting your panties in a bunch. VeeshanVault's fault is it's double standards. You can pull up example after example of things said by mods or other posters that Cart was banned for although Cart was more humorous when he said them. When the "flame" part of the Flamevault started to fade, so did the board.

I was probably as old as the some of the people that think they're too old for this shit back when the board was created.

VeeshanVault will remain interesting as long as there's interesting topics and news mixed in with non generic, lively discussion about those topics.

Cart shouldn't be banned.

I'll agree with Fairweather and Winnow's most recent posts as well as Spang's.

When starting posting here back on EQVault, I flamed the shit out of all three of these guys.

The thing that's disappointing to me is that though I may have an extreme difference of opinion with someone on a topic, and flame the shit out of them, there's really nothing meant by it. I don't have the time to invest any real anger into anything here. The big annoyance/problem here is that there's just zero consideration of late for your fellow posters. Not everyone wants to see a spoiler or have someone shit all over their on-topic phone discussion (sorry) or have to worry about NWS content on a thread in a forum where neither the post, the thread or the forum is labeled NWS. I get flaming each other, I just don't get being totally inconsiderate about shit. I also don't get when people jibe you about something being a total fucking asshole about it and going off the deep end. If someone gave me shit about something like that, I'd go back and edit the fucking post AND APOLOGIZE. I've DONE IT BEFORE. IT DIDN'T KILL ME.

There's a lot of value in knowing each other's opinions and posting habits for the last however many years. I read a lot of other forums, but I know what I'm getting here from each of you and there's a lot of value in that for me. There's a good chance if some of you like a movie, music or video game, I'm also going to like it. Conversely, if some of you like something, there's a good chance I won't (sorry Mid WWE is just a bit below my tolerance for vapid). Anyway... I'm cool with the flaming, I'm just not cool with the total lack of consideration shown.

Winnow wrote:VeeshanVault will remain interesting as long as there's interesting topics and news mixed in with non generic, lively discussion about those topics.

I agree. Problem is there's very little of that anymore. I'll admit that I'm biased by the fact that I don't give a shit about computers, technology, video games, comic books or movies, so that wipes out a large chunk of the content of VV for me. I generally don't even read those threads. I do care about sports, current events, music, and life in general. Unfortunately, most of those subjects are pretty barren these days also, with the exception of a few threads. I doubt anyone notices much or cares much, but my posting has gone way down recently, and I can't see it picking back up a whole lot absent some substantial changes.

I no longer agree. I used to feel this way back in the day, where people would occasionally come onto a thread and make a retarded post, and the thread would continue on with maybe a minor digression. Nowadays, the entire thread is the digression. As soon as the retarded posts begin, the whole thread ends. It's not a matter of just skipping by the retarded posts because the retarded posts actively spell the end of any content that would be worth reading anyway.

I know that people come and go and the composition of the board is much different than it used to be, but most of the people who I used to rely on for originality, perspective and content are no longer here much if at all: Arborealus, Voronwe, Adex, Krimson, Aaeeamdar, others. Those who remain-- like Boogahz and Noel-- no longer engage in subjects at the depth that they did in the past.

I really wonder why Sylvus and Xouqoa and Py and whoever else is in charge of running this thing continue to bother.

I don't expect anyone to give a shit that I'm feeling emo about the future of VV, but that's the subject and these are my thoughts.

I totally agree. As soon as a retard jumps into the conversation, the thread is over.

Retards ruin everything.

If there's one thing I hate, it's Jews and racists.

What's this all about? I've been out of town since Thursday.

Simplified explanation:

The 'You laugh you lose' thread had some things posted to it that while not overtly pornographic were highly questionable for safeness in a reasonable person's work environment.

People were pissed off.

Funkmasterr said they were all stupid because if they worked in an environment like that they should get new jobs.

Miir attempted to ignore Funkmasterr and failed due to his moderator status.



I believe you are now caught up.

Some people posted a bunch of NWS pics in the You Laugh You Lose thread.
After some of us said something about it, they were removed.

Funk's responses to the people who complained about NWS images:

you guys are pathetic
If any of those were too NWS for you, you need to re-evaluate the uptight assholes you are working for.

NOTHING POSTED IN THIS THREAD WAS IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM NWS, AT ALL, THE END.
Go post on the fucking Disney Channel forums if you disagree.

there is going to be shit like in this thread that may be grey area for some people and we all know that damn well every time you click a thread here...

Basically I've been getting sick of seeing his constant ignorant trolling in the CE forum for the past month and him defending people who NWS images was the last straw.

I was just annoyed that I can't put him on ignore because he's a moderator (who has never done any moderation) in a forum.

Why not go after the 'some people' who posted NWS images then?

That would make more sense, instead of going after the guy who flamed you (whether or not it was justified or funny) ?

It's not against the rules to be a douche, is it? (I think our membership would be in the single digits if it were)

The car forum does not need a moderator.

It's not like there's 3 different threads about a Nissan Sentra that need to be merged.

Sarge is not a moderator and if I wanted to ignore him, I could.

I've explained before that I'm not trolling (read carefully: If I say I'm not trolling, I'm not, end of the subject.) People around here need to learn you don't have to pounce on every thing you see posted you don't agree with, it's starting to make most of you look retarded.

You might not agree with me. Fuck, everyone here might not. That doesn't automatically mean I'm trolling, and it doesn't automatically mean I'm wrong either.

If you really need to ignore me because my opinions are SO FAR OUT THERE, and you just cant believe that someone wouldn't be a peace loving douche that wants to save the world and hold hands with everyone like you, you might want to re-evaluate yourself.

You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting.

Get this through that thick skull of yours: I - and most others on this board, I imagine - don't give a fuck what you believe, what your opinions are or what sort of outlandish ideas you have. I, and others, can't fucking stand your willfully dumbassed manner of interacting with others on this message board. You can claim all you want that you're not a troll, but if you post like a troll, you're probably a troll. Either that, or you're even dumber than most of us give you credit for being. That's why people want to ignore you. It's not because you have some retarded ideas, but because you're an addle-brained asshole that has proven himself to be unable to engage in any sort of meaningful interaction with others in this community.

That's funny, cause I get along really well with most everyone I meet, except for here. That all leads back to the fact that this community is made up mostly of nerdy, pathetic, middle-aged assholes who most certainly think they are far more intelligent than they are in reality. Also worth pointing out is how proud of those facts a good number of you are, which is what really makes you pathetic.

It's because the way you present yourself here.
I've talked to you enough outside of VV to know that you're not the retard that you usually present yourself to be here.

I dunno man, it's like you've been on a roll posting completely retarded shit for the past month... and defending a persons' right to post (borderline) NWS shit was the tipping point.


Really, what's the big deal if your mod status is removed?
It's not like you have ever (or will ever) use it.
Heck, they could even rename the subforum to Funkmasterr's House of Gay Cars Forum for all I care.

you guys are just shallow and pedantic

I've been a lurker on this board for years, and although I post occasionally, I know I'm not a very active member when it comes to raising my post count. I do however read these boards 5+ times a day.

I have to say that either I'm the most zen, tolerant person out there, or I've just learned to actually use my brain and choose what I do and do not give credit too. Funk's postings I agree can be a bit emotional and may not have the "intellectual" level that some of you crave, however I have to ask, how hard is it to just skip past them? The same goes for everyone else that people like to bitch about... Mid, Nick, Aslanna etc come to mind.

It seems to me for a board that was built around tolerance and the ability to hate on others that there are more and more people that want people banned, rules changed, moderators removed etc. If people would just remember that YOU (the reader) have the ability to choose who and what you read/comprehend/respond to than we wouldn't have these problems. I love this board; morons, trolls, assholes, intellectuals, holier than thou people, I hate God people, etc etc. The last thing I would want to see is any of them censored or banned.

I know your point in this was that you don't have the option to actually click the ignore function for Funk, but making a post in the general forums regarding this was (in my opinion) just being a whiney baby. You don't like the show on TV, change the channel... you don't like the radio DJ, change the channel... you don't like Funk, don't read his posts. It's pretty clear who posts what as in this wonderful english language, we read left to right, top to bottom and the very first thing in any post is the name of the poster. Easy enough.

Even in my laid back, buddha nature, there are plenty of people on this board that I think are complete wastes of internet space, but I would never ask for someone to be singled out because of my opinion (or the majority opinion) because that is NOT what this board is about. There's a shrinking group of people here that all contribute in some way, whether you view their posts as contributions or not is your opinion. There are others like me that think that everyone, in everyway deserve to post their feelings, opinions etc. You don't like someone, ignore them... can't ignore them, skip their posts. Come to general forum and call them out to spread more hate... I call that acting like your in kindergarten, and coming from you Miir, as an avid poster and strong member of this board is pretty lame.

Hi. Shut the fuck up.

Thanks.
