And I'm not saying you're like the worst admin ever. Usually you're very fair.. sometimes you just seem to go on streaks. This weekend seems to be one of those..



First of all, thanks for the comments. I'm glad we can resolve things by talking it out.



I do agree sometimes it seems like i go on streaks. That, however, is only because sometimes I get really busy and can't check into things in depth on MMB so when I get a chance, it seems like "ohh he's doing it again."



Also, most of you should know by now I tend to ignore things until 1.) it looks like it's getting out of hand and 2.) someone requests my intervention.



At that point, I assess the situation by reading the thread(s) in question and sometimes doing a little background checking by noting the characters of the posters in question. Then I decide how to handle it. It also depends on the forum in which it is posted. The PVP Caps forum and Hall of Flame are, quite naturally, more prone to flaming behavior and that's why I don't usually bother checking in there until someone requests so. I understand some people take things from the game more personally than others and so I usually let them be in those forums. When people start complaining, I step in.



I might tell everyone to be quiet or I might single out who it looks like is causing the trouble. Then, naturally, I expect it to end. Being the person in authority, of course I have to act in a way that reflects that. I'm not going to beg you and plead with you to stop. I'm going to tell you to stop or else. That's the way the justices system works in America and I think thats a decent way to do it for MMB. If you refuse to follow the law, you are taken out of society. Similarly, if you refuse to follow the rules here, then you can either leave on your own or be forced to leave.



That's pretty much the way it is. It has nothing to do with whether I like you or not.



One last thing, people say I flame all the time and what not. When I "flame", the other party knows I'm joking. Notice I mainly "flame" to people like Xetox, Ray, MissThang, Platinum... Any other "flames" to anyone else come when I'm trying to tell them to follow the rules. You'll never see me going around picking fights and what not... that's what I do on mudcentral ;) lol



Hopefully this is the last time I need to post something like this.

I hate Aragon cuz... well... no I don't. It would be pretty silly to hate someone you've never met. Not to be a bitch, cuz we all know I'm a great guy and NEVER complain, but there's a difference between mouthing off to a cop, and mouthing off on here. Admin here can't throw ya in jail. I'm gonna be nice for a little while. (I hope)

Errr... Geezus lord. I leave for the weekend, and look what happens. This is horrible. I really don't have much to say, because everything has already been said in this thread by one person or another. Aragon and I have gone round and round, and I'm still here. He doesn't ban people for little reason, or else I (and 95% of the rest of the place) wouldn't be here. The rules are fine, Atma's a moron, Rust's a flamer, and this thread is too damn long.
