Title: Status = Respect, Don't Abuse it.
Post by: LeoReborn on October 11, 2010, 04:06:07 PM
This message is directed mainly toward Level5Pidgey and Stephenkill2, but this is also for the rest of the PU Team.
_________________________________________________________

Due to the Pokemon Ghost ShipRP incident, I feel compelled to say this.

I am not saying this as an RP Mod, but as a Regular User.
Yes, you are a Higher position than us, but dont get a snobby, "Im always right" attitude. Its rude, disrespectful, and I honestly think thats just not right.

This may sound like I'm attacking the team, but trust me, Im not.
All Im really saying is, Act your age, If you made it on the team, thats great, but don't get caught up.

The PU team are like our Role-models, they are supposed to be in a clean character.
You have a high status, don't let it go to your head
When one or more of you acts like a little kid, we lose faith in you, we stop trusting you.

Grow up, act like a mature, responsible adult, even if you are not.

We have feelings, because we are human, keep that in mind.

That's all, I just want to make that known. I want Everyone, regardless of Status to get along, and be better people.


Thank you for listening,

But, you're the one acting snobby? I don't understand? Also, you kept shouting  "I have more power than you guys."

hrmmm...This post is an oxymoron really.

Give clear examples please, the team is usually friendly unless people ask questions which they shouldn't be or fail to use the search.

Nah, sorry but i won't be the snitch. I have been on this site for a long time now, i don't post much but i do browse and read posts, and since i don't post much i didn't make my account till this past June or July..i don't remember which. But yeah sorry i won't be giving any examples...I'm sure the team sees it when it happens. And your right most of you guys are indeed great! Very friendly and I love our community.

In this case it's better to point fingers than to speak of the whole team.

Well I have been here on this site since March and I have yet to see any of the PU team act snobby to others or abuse their power on the forums. (excluding on Carbon's case) On IRC, I don't really know since I really don't go there that much....but though the team is usually friendly so I doubt they would act snobby over there.

anyway I think this topic is mainly on the Pokemon Ghost ShipRP incident so I'm just going to let Stephenkill2 and Level5Pidgey take care of it since this is obviously towards them (even though they really didn't act snobby or abuse their power!!) and not really towards the rest of PU team.

Thank you for understanding, youhearthat, as you can see, even others can see that we were merely questioning what was wrong, and you took offense and offered us ample amounts of attitude unbreakable. We didn't wish to fight, we simply wanted to continue on with our RP. Yes, it was an RP, as we roleplayed murderers. It wasn't a normal cookie-cutter story, but it was enticing , and probably would have even enticed other forum members. It's just wrong that we did not receive a valid explanation of why it was moved. Also, I feel that your own biased opinion towards it counted towards the removal, I just want a valid, truth filled explanation.

Didn't Amphy and Chibi make specific rule against murder roleplaying or something like that?

I already apologized to L5P about my rude, harsh action. I was wrong, yet not entirely, an RP has several people, yet each plays a role, every time its the same role, but nevermind that.

I found the PokeShip thread got locked, I thought, "This wasn't what I wanted...." I did not want to remove it, but It got locked, dont ask me how.
 

Anyway Stephenkill, Sorry, the whole thing got WAY out of hand. Things happen.

Didn't Amphy and Chibi make specific rule against murder roleplaying or something like that?

Murder IS allowed, I had even posted a disclaimer, stating that if you decided to play in that RP, you give permission to allow death of a character.


I have an Idea for a New RP, but I cant post it, (Due to a restriction on RP Mods) would someone like to host it?

I do believe there may have been once or twice that I did act rude, and I apologize for it, however, I would appreciate being told when someone thinks I am being rude to them; if you tell me you think I am being a jerk, I will apologize and try to stop.

Normally however, it is better to take what I have said as a joke; I know that is sometimes hard to tell over the Internet, but I really don't mean any harm.

But if people post questions about asking stuff like where they can download, I can't help but be a little annoyed. There is a button that says 'download', someone wanting to download would obviously click there, and see that there is no download button, and hopefully notice the text explicitly saying that you cannot. In these instances, I tease when I write my response, I am annoyed sure, but not trying to attack the individual.

Still, if you think I have been too rude in my approach, please tell me.
You're not helping me by not telling me what I did wrong.

I always try to talk to other members as if I'm a normal member myself.
People butt heads - it happens. The main thing is, don't get wrapped up in it and make enemies - or even think too much about it.

If I've ever said "Don't blah me, I'm a mod", I'm really sorry - that should never happen.
Anyway, I locked the Ghost RP thread because it had gone from a story thread to a discussion of its legality -> not because it had a bit of headbutting in it.
It's always difficult to pull structured threads back together once they get a little off track, and I really don't have too much time to RP on it anyway as I'm going to be focusing my full attention on modding Shoddy and my balancing duties.

If there are a couple of people who'd like to keep it going, I'll unlock and split -> but I doubt that there's a massive audience for it ;P

Anyway, thanks for heads up, though Roloc, if you have seen some bad stuff, there's no use in saying "I seen it!" and then refusing to talk to Dark and Urmel about it.
If you do have a problem, or have something to report - I'm sure they're the guys to talk to, and if you don't want to snitch, I'm sure they'll be fine with talking to you via PM.

If anything I write looks like an insult, it's probably sarcasm. Or good natured ribbing. It takes a lot to get under my skin.

But, if anyone on the forum doesn't like how I handle something, or something I said, they can always feel free to PM me about it. It's not like, "I'm a mod. Do what I say or else." Mods are actually people too. (Except me, I'm a cyborg ninja pirate.)

If it involved me i would have, but it didn't and i don't see it as any of my business to meddle in. If they had a problem with it, they should have told Dark or Urmel themselves. Besides it was only 2 times and by different people. It hasn't happened since and those 2 MODs are very good at their job so there is no problem imo.

(Except me, I'm a cyborg ninja pirate.)
I knew it!

I was just going through the Ghost Ship thread, Unbreakable - and I was certain I would be able to easily find what statements by myself and Stephen offended you, but I could not.

To prevent it from happening in the future, could you please point out these offensive comments?
I don't mind if you want to do it here, or if you would prefer to do it over PM - but yeah, a little guidance would be nice. ^_^

Thanks mate.

Also @ Roloc: Fair enough. Hope it didn't deter you at all.

As much as I'd love to point out how corny this sounded, I gotta say, 'losing your purpose' can have really bad reprecussions. Like this drunk guy I met the other day who lost a sh*tload of MMA-earned money because he started obsessing over it.
So yeah. I'll hit you with an oar when the time comes.

What made me hesitant on the subject matter was that the RP seriously lacked interactivity, something which I believe RPs should have.

For example in the PokeShip, each poster would only write a piece of writing about a certain character, find a pokemon to kill someone and get killed by the pokemon of the previous poster. No character therefore interacts with another character. I'm not against the thread, but I was hesitant whether this could be called an RP. Sure, you take the role of a fictional (or maybe not) character in a specific setting, sure, you create a narrative/descriptive part of it to make it look better but I don't find the element of RP, which is to play with others having been assigned or having created a certain character to build up some story.

If it were me who moved the thread, this would be my reason behind it. It would fit so much more easily under the In-Forum Games where members post something they created which is not necessarily interactive. I find it similar to the thread "Defeat the person above you", or "Tell a Death", only that more words and thought are put into it to make it look more interesting to read.

And this is why I said that I will wait to see the opinion of another mod (it came to be Unbreakable who came online before Amphy or Chibi).

If I was wrong, please correct me, but sooner or later, I'd have moved the thread. I think I should have made a thread about it before anything was done but I never thought this would get as now.

Lastly, about this:
Quote from: Unbreakable
I have an Idea for a New RP, but I cant post it, (Due to a restriction on RP Mods) would someone like to host it?

15. You are limited to starting (hosting) one RP per month. Going over this limit will result in a warning, and a deletion of the topic. Exceptions will be granted if you PM a moderator.

What we learned from this post: If there is any problem with a member of the team, take it up with them personally ^_^ and that the ghost ship was a bad idea! great! locked...
