Okay disrespect to the forum founder? rofl.

Well at least one agreed (me). Granted, the changes were a bit drastic, but you have to admit that the influence that some people had on the reputation of others was ridiculous.

We are going over old ground here though.

I agree that the change was needed and also agree that even though everything was discussed about changing it there was a big rush in making the changes without enough talk of how far each change to the rep system should have been.

Well I believe in learning from mistakes, and so long as the same mistake isn't made next time (rushing new plans without thought to consequences), then I see no issue.

Obviously is this was to happen again, then serious points would have to be raised and the effectiveness of decision making questioned.

One thing that really pisses me off

Don't think your not old enough for me to wash your mouth out with soap!

I'm such a cheeky bugger ^_^

One thing that really pisses me off about this forum (OMG I USED DA WORD PISS) is that in the majority of cases, people seem to think that time spent here is directly proportional to respect and importance.

Here's a wakeup call for you: its not.

Seniority means nearly nothing. I respect jrh, not because he's the forum founder or he's been here longer than I have, but because he's a good person. I can't explain how much it really riles me that people think themselves so self important when they say "Oh well I've been here for 3 years (even though I've never even seen the other side of the fence) and this forum has gone so downhill because jrh and Mizki have left and I'm going to jump on the bandwagon even though I probably couldn't explain *why*, I just decided to rip into everyone.

So in answer to the question, absolutely it's ok to "disrespect the forum founder" if he's a brat. However, our forum "founder" (I think the original was Mizki's) is not a brat, therefore he's deserving of respect not because of how long he's been here, but because of the person he is. So don't go on about this seniority nonsense.

And this rant about seniority is coming from the longest continuous member of staff bar sierk, so I could use my seniority to my advantage, I simply choose not to, and speak out against all those who puff themselves up with it. Experience is one thing, seniority means jack. SOLAR FLARE!!! or Twiggy could come back to this forum and say he's been here longer than one of our newer Super Mods, but I'd still respect one of our newer members more.




LOL! That made me rofl. Simply because the "an offender" was on another line so as I was reading it I thought of it as "so I was a tad rude back and I am now...*dramaticpause*...an offender. I'm wierd, I know I know.

You said pisses actually not piss !

OK anyway I think we should all sit down with a cup of tea and talk this out nicely and then work it out from there!

tbh this thread is too long for me to read so I haven't.

It was just an observation - he wasn't being nasty to NVR at all. I am quite surprised at you Typoh.

I wasn't saying it to anyone in specific.
I was saying it too all the ones who will reply with "omg, did he just.." ect..
Thanks for being so supprised though
