Moderator ianho, is now actively denying my posts from being posted. He is deleting every post that had his actions exposing his childish acts of belittling Terapox during his attempts at reviving his iPhone. This is the post I'm trying to post, which he constantly deletes to stop people from knowing his wrongdoings.

QUOTE
Eh Mr, Moderator, that was just a free advice, nothing to blow your lid off lah. It was there since 1.1.1 , since the days od iPhone EDge , ONE year ago.

I did not say I know everything, but perhaps those NOOBS go to you because they know if they post it in here, they get the usual "learn up or shut up" treatment. Just because you are not here often, let me tell you how it is, since you are not always around here. If it is once or twice that these NOOBS come in here for help, it is understandable, but questions that can simply be answered by looking at Apple's own iPhone page (you're buying an iPhone, you're using an iPhone, where else should you refer to buy the Apple iPhone webpage? doh.gif), or simple Search in this very own thread YOU are moderating. Are you not advocating the usage of YOUR OWN forum and using the SEARCH feature YOUR FORUM have implemented that YOU, as a MODERATOR should encourage those NOOBS to use? shakehead.gif

What's even more APPALING here is your treatment to this guy who had asked for help in this thread:-

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/772437

The guy was asking for help to revive his dead iPhone and all you have to say is this:-

which resulted in people joining in the fun YOU INSTIGATED, while happily watching the guy suffer in his failures of fixing his iPhone.

QUOTE(nokia2003 @ Aug 21 2008, 09:58 PM)
guys, please don't add posts such as purchasing his phone etc.
he is already stressful enough and will not appreciate jokes like that.
just give him some space will ya?


Added on August 21, 2008, 10:00 pmbe a little bit more sympathetic especially from the very senior members. stuffs like that are meant to be joked or flamed.

Not until Nokia had come in and put YOU, A MODERATOR, in your place, by teaching you not to pick on the poor guy, that you had stopped your chidings.

NOW, who the hell should have the right to remain silent here and not to abuse people YOU DEEMED AS EASY PICKINGS?

Idiot.


Great example we have as a moderator here.

Multiple threads which were created by me in my attempts to expose him, were then reactivated to give the impression that I am spamming. All similar threads that have been "reactivated" have been closed.

EDIT: Closed threads are re-activated back again, to again give the impression that I am spamming. Please be advised.

yikes!!! tak pasal pasal i got roped into this and also exposing my typo crystal clear (be a little bit more sympathetic especially from the very senior members. stuff like that are NOT meant to be joked or flamed); left out the NOT tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif



anyway despite having a small and tiny disagreement at around 2-ish in the morning (which i reckon is totally cool by the way) with stringfellow, i'm with him on this one (whilst making myself susceptible to attacks from the moderators too unfortunately). well that's the risk which i'm willing to take.

It is not about hacking. At first it is about him blowing off because I state that a feature was available since earlier firmware, and then he roped in the plight of the NOOBS, without him even spending much of his time here and see what we the regulars have to face every time a NOOB poses a question that had been asked millions of times before. This led to the creation of the "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING" thread by our good friend....errr...friend. tongue.gif

He asked me to keep quiet , while he blatantly abuses and chided Terapox when Terapox was asking for help onr eviving his iPhone. And he had the audacity to ask me to keep quiet, while he loudmouths Terapox? Outrageous!

Ladies and gentlemen of LYN, I present you the mod of LYN.

u r really funny, that is like saying u hack into bank negara because their security is bad. Their security is bad doesn't mean you can hack it. You pay doesn't means u can hack. It's yours doesn't mean you can hack it. If hacking is allowed, then it shouldn't void your warranty if you hack it.

Please stick to the issue at hand.

This is not a hack, it is an unlock. Users here are resorting to his because of the ineffiecientcy and refusal of our three local carriers to set up a deal with Apple to bring the iPhone here. Phone unlockings have been done and practised everywhere, especially to deter exuberant charges charged by greedy carriers.

if Terapox is asking help on how to rescue him by hacking iPhone, it shouldn't even be there in the first place.

That is the thing, all iPhones brought out of the country of origin is out of warranty. He has no choice but to seek help from actual users here.

That is besides the point. The point I'm making is that a moderator with such behaviour is a disgrace to this forum. Attempts of submerging posts exposing his wrongdoing, and all because someone has a differing opnion than his. If he has stayed here longer than he usually do, he would have known what the regulars here have to do every single time a post for help is posted in a new thread, where the answers are already available in this forum. We didnt mind answering questions, and helping people, but PEOPLE have got to help themselves first!

At any rate, let this thread serves as a reminder how a corrupt people with power can disrupt and sway the undercurrent of this forum, to a result that may prove to be disastrous. Do not be afraid to stand up for your rights, and know your rights when you know that you are in the right.

The Terms and Condition, whenever you download and wanted to use a firmware update, states this, zehtahs. Whenever you modify the firmware to suit the unlocking procedure, that is already against the TOS.

Apple however,as well as our three major carriers, are forcing our hands here, by not doing anything in getting the iPhones legally into the country.

I just archive some old post in "other forum". And I get a huge complaint from member. Out of no idea which post was removed & no reply what-so-ever from the related party. I just resign being a mod from that forum to peace their mind.

But do bare in mind, moderating forum takes great responsibility. When I mod, I tried my best not to delete any thread or post.

I already have hinted about the corruption in the moderating system here in LYN. This is just but the tip of the iceberg, already festering at the roots. And it is us, common forum members who are at the whims of this injustice.

Kudos to your courage and initiative to actually point this out.

I mean, how many people would actually go through all the sweat and toil of wrestling with a Mod (the deleting, clicking, posting, getting deleted again...cycle) with one's account on the line.

This is a positive thing (in my opinion anyway).

If you claim it so, then your post here is directed to all the guys here who owns an iPhone. Tell them that in their faces and see what kind of response you get.

What showoff lah, brader? If I wanted to show off, I would just get the iPhone for myself and let others simply lick their lips drooling for it. I offered help through the Tumpang, helping them get the iPhones as well, but guess what? The mods here like to stick a fallen tree up my path. They dont want me to help others get their iPhones?

Is phone unlocking illegal?
Skip content

No, there is nothing illegal about unlocking your own phone so that it can use the SIM cards of other providers. What is illegal is trying to make a stolen phone work, say by changing its IMEI code. However, if the phone is your own property then you are allowed to unlock it.

One thing to be aware of is that you should not try to unlock a phone that has been justly blocked by the network. For example, if a phone has been stolen, then trying to rewrite the IMEI number is illegal. The phone will be blacklisted and you should not attempt to unlock it because the phone will not work. You should report any suspicion you have, that your phone may be blacklisted, to your Service Provider and help to cut down on mobile phone crime.

for the sake of clearing unlocking issue doubts..

How come i am not suprised by all these?

Corrupted or selfish moderator exist in almost every forum, but getting caught red handed is really lame and stupid..

About the smartass who trying to argue if unlocking iphone is illegal, go ahead and try make this a case by reporting to the authority, and lets see who is willing to entertaint your agenda..

In the other hand, if hacking a bank is the same, how come i can walk around freely with my "hacked" iphone?

The joke is on you dude..

Look, we either have paid for the item via tariff, taxes, or in the case of buy-outright iPhones from NZ, the GSTs. These are already taxed items. Items are by law taxable IF you are making a business out of it, and if you do avoid tax because you are importing these items illegally by smuggling them in, then you are breaking the law. SO to those making a business out of this SELLING iPhones here in the forum, you are , by law, required to pay taxes.

I am not making a business out of my Tumpangs, I am helping folks around here getting their iPhones.

But please, the more we deviate from the issue at hand here, the happier "a certain quarter" here feels. Burying this issue under heavy derailment is not out of the question. That is how things are done in Malaysia anyway, misdirection, misinformation and submergence of evidence.

Just to be fair, I'd like to add that most of the mods are doing a fine job.

Let's not be hasty to condemn the whole lot over a few bad apples. Try to just point the gun (as Vincent likes it) at the Stalins, Hitlers and Mao's.

To add, those who've has similar experiences should speak up as well. This will serve as a collective reminder (the very least) to the Powers-that-be.

Just to be fair, I'd like to add that most of the mods are doing a fine job.

Let's not be hasty to condemn the whole lot over a few bad apples. Try to just point the gun (as Vincent likes it) at the Stalins, Hitlers and Mao's.

To add, those who've has similar experiences should speak up as well. This will serve as a collective reminder (the very least) to the Powers-that-be.

I certainly dont mean all of them. My blanket statement are mean exclusively to those bad apples.

Do you even know that we are all used as their object of humour and comedy in their "invisible" moderator's lounge? They tested their powers on you and watch you giggling while you squeal. That is the sad reality, and our fate as labrats.
Not unlike the government we have now in reality.

Unlocking isn't illegal. If it is they wouldn't allow those people to sell their phone unlock service in the trade resource center.

Look, we either have paid for the item via tariff, taxes, or in the case of buy-outright iPhones from NZ, the GSTs. These are already taxed items. Items are by law taxable IF you are making a business out of it, and if you do avoid tax because you are importing these items illegally by smuggling them in, then you are breaking the law. SO to those making a business out of this SELLING iPhones here in the forum, you are , by law, required to pay taxes.

I am not making a business out of my Tumpangs, I am helping folks around here getting their iPhones.

But please, the more we deviate from the issue at hand here, the happier "a certain quarter" here feels. Burying this issue under heavy derailment is not out of the question. That is how things are done in Malaysia anyway, misdirection, misinformation and submergence of evidence.

im not directing it to u.. if you're buying them outright from vodafone, paying taxes and all that, legally unlocked, those are legal.. but not those that were smuggled in previously.. i am too gonna have my iphone unlocked by the telco.. we're doing it legaaly, abiding by all their ToC so of course its legal..

Is there some kind of Super-Moderator or Co-admin that kind clear things up by checking the logs and records of the deleted posts claimed by String?

So we wrap things up fast and simple before this thread becomes a warzone of flames..

The act of deleting my posts says it all. Just look at the new threads that I have tried to post, and he deleted, and then let it re-emerges again, to look like I'm spamming.

That act of cowardice alone says a lot about his character. I am a man of my word, I mean it when I do it. I take responsibility of my actions, and even though that mess in that first page in this section of the forum, is on his beleaguered conscience alone, I try and make it right by closing it and cleaning it. I dont leave it messy like that. It is not in my nature to leave things unattended.

I dont flee from the scene of the crime, I try and see if I can rectify the problems, with whatever limited abilities I have. As for "him", where is he now? If he feels repentant of his wrongdoings, he would at least set it right by cleaning up the threads he had intentionally reopened down there on the first page of this post. Hell, I'll clean it up if I have the power to do so.

Since this thread has been moved outside of the iPhone subforum, I hope it wouldn't be inappropriate for me to re-post something that I've already posted there. I believe this whole personal feud between ianho & string started off with a post ianho made, which is included in my post hidden in the spoiler below:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «



QUOTE(stringfellow @ Aug 22 2008, 05:14 PM)
Moderator ianho, is now actively denying my posts from being posted. He is deleting every post that had his actions exposing his childish acts of belittling Terapox during his attempts at reviving his iPhone. This is the post I'm trying to post, which he constantly deletes to stop people from knowing his wrongdoings.
which resulted in people joining in the fun YOU INSTIGATED, while happily watching the guy suffer in his failures of fixing his iPhone.
Not until Nokia had come in and put YOU, A MODERATOR, in your place, by teaching you not to pick on the poor guy, that you had stopped your chidings.

NOW, who the hell should have the right to remain silent here and not to abuse people YOU DEEMED AS EASY PICKINGS?

Idiot.

Great example we have as a moderator here.
*
Stringfellow, you aren't being a very good example either. His childish acts? Yes, indeed they were childish. But your acts are equally as childish. There's been many more instances where you picked on newbies. The respect you've gained by doing noble things such as the tumpang thread has lead you to act like a condescending alpha-male in the iPhone section. You are one of the major flamers in there, and the others are starting to follow suit as well.

I do hope that here I am, JUST ANOTHER USER, putting you in your place by making you realize what you've been doing, would make you stop your chiding.

I've been trying not to tussle words with you because of our past liasons, but there are certain things you need to know.

I'm sorry but we are not PAID like those Apple Geniuses. We are doing this for free, and frankly, it has come to a level where it is testing most of our sanity. Choose not to answer them? More will come and post the exact same questions, only with different wording.

If im paid to answer these questions and more, you can spit questions in my face and I'll still put on a smile. The reality is with the iPhone section, is that they expect answers to their questions as if WE are paid to do this. Choosing to ignore it only invite more of these questions.

You may be able to ignore and let it be, perhaps because I dont see you in the iPhone section and that may be your mode of ignoring these NOOBS and their incessant questionings. But those of us who are making the iPhone section of this forum as our second home, these bombardment of questions are like eyesores. If you leave them unanswered, someone else who have no clue whatsoever about the issue with have their go at it and point the clueless NOOBS the wrong way ,and complicating things further. In the end, the same NOOB will come in with more whinings and more problems with their iPhones, suffocating the forum further. Ignore them more, you say? Until at which stage would you come and answer the hapless buggers before they brick their iPhones to kingdom come? You will have to, at one stage answer these NOOBS, and as much as WE like to ignore these NOOBS and let them have at it, WE hate it further to see them squander their iPhones to a point of no return.

So, before you point your finger at me, have a look at the forum, and stay and have a feel at how things go in this forum. You have a higher tolerance towards ignoring them, but I dont. I dont like people spreading misinformation, I dont like people going about things like a headless chicken, and I dont certainly dont like people who are irresponsible with their purchases. These NOOBS certainly fits that category.

The Apple Byte section are more organized and well-informed because you dont have to deal with these clueless NOOBS. Even if you do, the FREQUENCY of these questions coming at you on Apple Byte, are not as frequent as what WE have to handle here in the iPhone section. It is like there is 10 iPhone NOOBS born every minute, and we have to handle their bibs, napkins and diapers when they burp, spit, vomit and defecate their way around the iPhone section.

Again, your tolerance level to ignoring those people are not the same as others. Do not think that you can say "I can do it, why cant you", God made us different, and made us with that different tolerance level as well. Some of us can just let things slide, "Lantak ko ko lah, ko nak jahanamkan iPhone ko , doesnt botter me" attitude comes naturally to them, while others cannot even stnd people making a mistake when it comes to delicate things like unlocking their iPhones, because little things like this may result in a devastated iPhone.

We are NOT PAID like the Apple Geniuses to treat these NOOBS with gleaming white teeth smile, we are only human. And as fellow humans, these NOOBS should understand why the impatience level in the iPhone section is high, and at the very least, as a common courtesy to their fellow man here, go about their way finding out the answers here first before posting questions that had been answered.

What may have been seen as picking on NOOBS here by you are simply the result of countless questions been posted before that NOOB was put into his place, because of the stress level in the iPhone section because of their incessant questions and expectant of mouthfeeding. Try and look into it from a different angle, from the point of those who had to suffer these oncoming barrage of questions before you make your convenient assumptions.

I have not considered or even think myself as what you've put, an "alpha-male". If that is your conclusion of things, then I should have the undying support of the 15 in my Tumpang list as well as others isnt it? Look back into my post history and you'll see that even I have disagreements with those in my Tumpang list, and those who previously had agreed on me on previous occasion.

It is the easiest thing to solve all this NOOB chiding nonsense, PEOPLE NEED TO START TAKING RESPONSIBILITIES OF THEIR IPHONES! As long as we have people not doing this, the issue will never end.

The objective of this thread is easy :-

"Why delete my post"? "Why continue deleting my attempts at posting for close to 30 minutes?"

The side-issue here is the NOOB treatment in the iPhone section and how to resolve this satisfactorily. And me being court-martialed for my conduct, apparently because I am elected "alpha-male" without my knowing. If I knew better, I would have acted like Tyler Durden in "Fight Club" or "The Joker" in "The Dark Knight" and entice havoc upon LYN.

It is easy to say that Stringfellow's wrong, but I did my part in stemming the onslaught of irresponsible newbies and asking them to take a more proactive efforts in knowing their device more. What have you done, Lailaikatong?

To those wondering what is the big deal with these questions we had to face and answer:-

These are the type of questions we have to face, day in day out, in iPhone section of this forum.

Tell me when your patience run out when you're face with these and other similarly berating questions every ...single....day, in iPhone forum.

If ignored, they will later come in packs and post even more questions, and when not answered by the right person, these NOOBS may be supplied with answers that may jeopardize the livelihood of their iPhones.

actually Photography thread got a lot of this kind of issue. But it was not reported like this.
But now it is quiet down now. Actually in photography thread, a lot moderator and staff misuse and
abuse their power (but they dunno about it ---> because they think they are right). But after
some fighting and scolding, now its getting better. Misuse of power is less.

The problem is:

Moderator and staff is doing something over the limit. Moderate every single post if he hates you.
Now, that is abuse of power. But the staff and Mod does not know it. They thought they are doing
a great job since they think you're shit.

So my advice to staff/mod. Dun over moderate a forum. You're abusing your power!!!!!!!!!!

A "noob" is a begging, lying, spamming, cheating and extremely annoying person.

A "newbie" is a person that is new to the site who is very innocent compared to a noob.

from gamers' view points, calling people noob is unwise and rude. let along NOOB.

To moderator:

if you don't agree and you hate some forum member, pls refrain yourself from deleting their post. Because you already form an opinion on them. What ever they post is shit.

But that's far from true. Because of wat u think of them, it become shit. Actually their opinion is valid.

He is moderator and he get to delete your thread while you are not. Fair?

Everyone else unit got no problem, but Terapox has. Fair?

Why you are not born in US, HK or Singapore where you can get an iPhone and send it back to warranty. Fair?

you are trying to be 'good' and got backfired. Fair?

The re-emergence of the new threads are because he had deleted the first thread, and I am force to form a new one. After a while, these deleted thread reappears again, giving the impression that as if I am spamming. Look into my post history, I dont spam.

The issue at hand here is why he deletes my posts, and why he is thwarting every attempt I made to post, INCLUDING those new threads. If he had allowed the thread to be posted, there would not have been multiple threads to begin with. I dont know how the forum works, but he deleted my first thread, and it disappears. I made another thread, and he deleted it, and that too disappears. After several attempts, he got weary of it, and all the deleted threads reappeared.

His attempts to stop my post from reappearing in two threads in iPhone section is also evident of this.

My point here is, he cannot take criticism that points him as being anything but perfect. Once he has been exposed to be wrong, his first action is to delete any existence of that evidence (in this case, a post and a thread) to keep his forum outlook clean. It is THAT important to him.

Me? I've already been branded a bad guy to you, so it makes no difference. All I want is resolution to his actions.

no one is going to jail if u unlocked ur phone. My point is if you think wat you are doing is 'correct', then just send the unit back to factory to be fix.

He is moderator and he get to delete your thread while you are not. Fair?

Everyone else unit got no problem, but Terapox has. Fair?

Why you are not born in US, HK or Singapore where you can get an iPhone and send it back to warranty. Fair?

you are trying to be 'good' and got backfired. Fair?

the world is never fair. Grow up, this is the world you are living.

Ok u can continue to taunt here smile.gif

My point exactly. Some of the moderators here are incapable of being partial. When they enter a thread or forum to moderate, they are already biased to certain issues. Or biased to act against certain members that do not agree with them.

moderator is not blind. every post accompanied by poster name. so if moderator hate a person, ask another
moderator to moderate that post. If all moderator hate that person, laugh.gif that's really too bad. But as vincent
say, world is not fair. But since we're here to complain:

So... Essentially you're unhappy he posted and decided to go post something about it in the wrong forum, it then got closed so you figured you'd open a new thread everytime the one before it got closed?

1) It's called a joke.
2) If you have an issue bring it up with the mod in question, here or directly with an admin. Posting a thread in the wrong forum will get it closed, whether or not it was a "cover up(rofl, cover up, what is this, csi?)" is irrelevant. Spamming new threads in the wrong forum because your last one got closed is the wrong way to do it, and quite frankly it pisses us off. Try to be a lil smarter about things next time.

Just got back home an World War 3 started..
Frankly..(not taking any sides)

People are allowed to be mad even though its a joke..
Ok..maybe iPhone doesn't matter much to YOU but it does to US..

Can you imagine something you own and love like a laptop,car or any other thing break down and become unusable and 'some guy' comes and say stuff like wanting to buy it at a STUPID price?
While you stress yourself searching google,etc for help someone just like make a stupid joke about it??
And main thing is the 'guy' never even bothered to apologize or feeling any remorse at all..

@Malaysianpotato

The re-emergence of the new threads are because he had deleted the first thread, and I am force to form a new one. After a while, these deleted thread reappears again, giving the impression that as if I am spamming. Look into my post history, I dont spam.

The issue at hand here is why he deletes my posts, and why he is thwarting every attempt I made to post, INCLUDING those new threads. If he had allowed the thread to be posted, there would not have been multiple threads to begin with. I dont know how the forum works, but he deleted my first thread, and it disappears. I made another thread, and he deleted it, and that too disappears. After several attempts, he got weary of it, and all the deleted threads reappeared.

His attempts to stop my post from reappearing in two threads in iPhone section is also evident of this.

My point here is, he cannot take criticism that points him as being anything but perfect. Once he has been exposed to be wrong, his first action is to delete any existence of that evidence (in this case, a post and a thread) to keep his forum outlook clean. It is THAT important to him.

No, I'm sorry but I don't agree with you. I mean, as much as I hate his guts, I'm leaning towards stringfellow's side here. I mean, I don't see it as a joke. I see it as an opportunity for the moderator to take advantage of a noob's misfortune by trying to deny people from helping him and then getting a good bargain from the noob.

Again, why didn't the moderator assist stringfellow by asking him to post his complains through the right channel rather than just repeatedly closing the created threads.

Gosh, a few pages later and everything has been blown way out of proportion.

With all due respect, mods have enough on their hands to satisfy daily whims and the chore of cleaning up after forumers. Having said this, it does not justify any form of abuse of power as stated in this (and this alone) case.

Ladies and Gents,

Do try to refrain from inciting more unnecessary flame-bait-ish comments by making generalization and assumptions. Stay on track and wherever possible, throw in a constructive comment or two on how to improve the moderation of LYN (a community that we all share, newbie or not).

FACT: Stringfellow was hustled out of posting his thoughts by ONE mod.
FICTION: All Mods are bad candidates for PM.

What has being friends got to do with this? And I think part of one's duty of being a moderator is to be impartial and fair no matter "friend or no friend." I mean, this is the sort of injustice Liverpool fans have been complaining about considering that a Manchester United fan is being moderator (most active one in Football Lounge) in that subforum [not saying who's right or wrong there].

And up to now, I still don't know what you are onto about but "being a moderator and siding with a friend" is already abusing your power. Put it this way, if you were a prefect in school, it's okay to keep your girlfriend's phone but catch everyone else? If you get caught, you kena lah.

And I'd help my friend but I'm not a moderator tongue.gif Besides, stringfellow and I aren't friends and as I've mentioned, I hate his guts.

I think the above have been very good for LYN. And look at the complains some forumers have had on moderators, some are funny, some are barmy but equally illogical.

Though again (off topic), I'll suggest, each top 4 club in the BPL need a moderator looking after their own team's thread.

Duke Red, Fyrekat -> Liverpool
kimhoong, starghazzer, Nostalgia -> Arsenal
JDreamer -> Chelsea

those are candidates I'll list out and I having nothing for/against any of them so I ain't bias.

That could be taken out of context. I've head that many times but most of the time, the question preceding the answer is always " Are you guys paid? laugh.gif

Though again (off topic), I'll suggest, each top 4 club in the BPL need a moderator looking after their own team's thread.

Duke Red, Fyrekat -> Liverpool
kimhoong, starghazzer, Nostalgia -> Arsenal
JDreamer -> Chelsea

those are candidates I'll list out and I having nothing for/against any of them so I ain't bias.
*
I'll moderate those threads. I'm the ultimate candidate in unbiasedness because i don't give a rat's ass about football and i think all the teams suck. I'll flag everyone for warning equally because it doesn't matter who gets the warnings, as long as somebody gets one.

Anyways,

If this thread is about a misread joke, and it's consequences, hell, it's like pissing in an ocean of piss. Making fun of people is awesome fun. It's like not he lost a crumpet eating, tea drinking, monocle wearing contest and tried to cover shit up. It's about a joke that got out of hand and the damage control afterwards, which is acceptable if it's there to keep things down. That's generally it isn't it?

Being politically correct is all fine and dandy, but if were to equate this to a list of real world offences, this would be up there with jaywalking. It's just like how i say Shitbag, b****, motherf***er, fagboat, retard, assblaster and so on in RWI and never get suspended. Intent counts for alot and if my intent isn't to flame or personally attack a person , the worst i get is an edited post. Everyone's happy innit?

Intent doesn't count in LYN, at least that was what I was told. Saying "what the f***" is the same as "f*** you, you f***." Me and my friends were on the end of both offenses.

QUOTE(gogo2 @ Aug 22 2008, 09:30 PM)
for god sake, moderator are friends....

I've been a moderator before. Everyone is like friends. So don't blame him for helping his friend.
I bet you're going to help your friend when your friend is being bombard right?
*
And you're saying that based on what knowledge? None? Right, figures.
FYI, I don't personally know any of the other mods, staff or admins, I've never talked with any of them face to face and have never phoned/sms'd any of them. I don't talk with ianho outside of moderation issues, I don't know his msn or email. So no, not all mods are friends, they're acquaintances. Since your comment was based solely on the false assumption that I was his friend, your argument is fail. I'm not helping him when he's getting bombarded, I'm simply pointing out the flaws in Stringfellow's approach to the situation and how he could have handled the situation better and that if you post in the wrong forum, your thread is going to get closed.

We demand justice!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Aug 22 2008, 08:52 PM)
@Malaysianpotato

The re-emergence of the new threads are because he had deleted the first thread, and I am force to form a new one. After a while, these deleted thread reappears again, giving the impression that as if I am spamming. Look into my post history, I dont spam.

The issue at hand here is why he deletes my posts, and why he is thwarting every attempt I made to post, INCLUDING those new threads. If he had allowed the thread to be posted, there would not have been multiple threads to begin with. I dont know how the forum works, but he deleted my first thread, and it disappears. I made another thread, and he deleted it, and that too disappears. After several attempts, he got weary of it, and all the deleted threads reappeared.

His attempts to stop my post from reappearing in two threads in iPhone section is also evident of this.

My point here is, he cannot take criticism that points him as being anything but perfect. Once he has been exposed to be wrong, his first action is to delete any existence of that evidence (in this case, a post and a thread) to keep his forum outlook clean. It is THAT important to him.

Me? I've already been branded a bad guy to you, so it makes no difference. All I want is resolution to his actions.
*
And why did you think it'd be okay to post your complaint against him in the WRONG FORUM? Post it here, where it's supposed to be posted. That way, your thread doesn't get killed and you don't have to be annoying to all the mods by spamming threads in the WRONG FORUM.

The issue at hand isn't why he deleted your posts, he did it because that's his job on this forum. The removal of threads which are out of sync with the regulations of the forum they are posted in. Common sense people, if you post in the wrong forum, your thread is going to get removed.
If you bring up the same issue that you did in your closed thread in another thread in the WRONG FORUM, it'll be removed.
This isn't rocket science, you post in the wrong forum, your post go byebye.

Your point is invalid because you're basing it on his removal of your posts/threads which were posted in the WRONG FORUM. Whether I like you or not is irrelevant, I'm all for the removal of bad eggs from our nest, but if you can't bring your case forward in the right way, then OBVIOUSLY, you're not going to see the results you want.

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Aug 22 2008, 08:54 PM)
My point exactly. Some of the moderators here are incapable of being partial. When they enter a thread or forum to moderate, they are already biased to certain issues. Or biased to act against certain members that do not agree with them.
*
In the same way, convicted child rapists are usually looked at first when a child is raped, we look at people who cause problems more often first. I personally carry forward past experiences with people I interact with to future events. Common trait in all humans I think.

Can you imagine something you own and love like a laptop,car or any other thing break down and become unusable and 'some guy' comes and say stuff like wanting to buy it at a STUPID price?
While you stress yourself searching google,etc for help someone just like make a stupid joke about it??
And main thing is the 'guy' never even bothered to apologize or feeling any remorse at all..
*
Yeah, so it's a joke and you get angry fine. But that doesn't give you the right to break forum rules as and when you think you're justified. It's still a joke, this is still the internet where people are expected to have skin thicker than that of a 6 year old school girl. If the guy who was on the recieving end of the joke was unhappy, he could have pm'd ianho and ianho would most likely have apologized both privately in pm and in the thread. But to my knowledge he didn't.

Really? My understanding of local law is that there's no freedom of speech in Malaysia. That's an American thing. This forum is privately owned, so you don't really have freedom of speech here either.

how does number of post counts = respect?

back during the days, all of the forums were open to post counts, and people were spamming to increase their post counts.

And I do believe there's a rule where a moderator isn't allowed to take advantage by advertising his business as well? And I sense that MOST people have not taken it as a joke. Face it, were it some insignificant fry who did the same or had a comment of a similar nature (joke) that was taken the wrong way, he'd be guilty of flamebaiting.

EG: Fernando Torres is a Spanish girl would warrant a three day leave while it'd be clear that it's a joke. But no, we aren't moderators, hence we can get a suspension.

And you have not answered my question:

Why wasn't a reason for the closing of thread given. Why wasn't stringfellow asked to have his concerns voiced elsewhere which would have solved all this trouble. You say that this is the Internet and people are supposed to .....

Why not have a little common sense on the part of ianho and tell stringfellow to open the threads elsewhere? And if so, I suppose people on the Internet are supposed to know heck all, why with the needless warnings for petty offenses. Come on, if everyone's supposed to have thicker skin, there shouldn't be warnings dished out for flaming and flamebaiting as we should be man enough to take it in.

Depends on context roughly. Everyone will try to skew interpretations for their own purposes. Life's like that.

Of course giving an angry face and point it at someone and screaming motherf***er! will get your ass kicked. But opening your arms and saying "long time no see motherf***errrr" is different. That's the part that's up to individual interpretation.

I'm not a friend of ianho's, I don't talk to him. I'm a moderator, but that doesn't affect my judgement? You assumed that we're all friends, we're not. I don't talk with most of the mods at all. I can in the same way say that you're biased against us because you're a fellow Malaysian.

ok, then I apologize for that assumption.

But will mod always help mod? I mean, if i'm a mod,
I'm sure will side with mod first right eventhough I'm not
the mod's fren. Wat do you think?

Its physchology really. First think you'll thought that the mod
is doing his job. Right?

Not sure what's really going on here but...

I personally think that if you have nothing nice or good to post (especially in more serious topics) then I would expect one not to post anything at all and simply move onto to something else to read or post up something related to the topic.

No one is paid to do anything here. In fact, no one is charged for being a member of LYN as well.

The whole point of creating a certain category is to discuss. Remember the day when you all asked for an iPhone section but at first it was only considered by the Admins (I can still remember posting it up at the admin/mod section asking)? Well, be glad that they allowed it.

We shouldn't take everything for granted here.

i understand your dissatisfaction.

but let us remain calm. until mods explain the basis of their actions in detail (not just vague "wrong forums" explanation), we will not let this matter die.

From what I think, mod dun help mod all the time. But when we start belasah a Mod and the other Mod thinks they also did the same thing, then they will be on a defensive attitude. Come on la... they are mod, we are ciku, we wanna say bad things abt mod sure they will be upset la!!!

And that rightly applies to the moderator in question for this case. He had nothing nice to say, he said it. Same goes to se7en in the other complain thread.

Just because you think in such a manner, it does not mean that everybody thinks in such a manner. The moderating team here on LYN is large enough that not everybody knows each other, or are even interested in each other's area on the forum. In fact, there's places on the forums that I've not even visited all these years.

And I do believe there's a rule where a moderator isn't allowed to take advantage by advertising his business as well? And I sense that MOST people have not taken it as a joke. Face it, were it some insignificant fry who did the same or had a comment of a similar nature (joke) that was taken the wrong way, he'd be guilty of flamebaiting.

EG: Fernando Torres is a Spanish girl would warrant a three day leave while it'd be clear that it's a joke. But no, we aren't moderators, hence we can get a suspension.
*
I don't know if that actually constitutes flamebaiting? I've had alot of similar posts in the health forum which were posted as jokes and taken as jokes. Again, if the one on the recieving end of the joke didn't approve, he could very easily ask for an apology or report ianho via the report button. Anyone of you could have, and if you felt it necessary, should have.
Just fyi, most of us who have experience with American forums will agree that it was a joke. Maybe a little badly timed, but a joke nonetheless.

The problem arises when an individual magically thinks he's above the forum's rules and decides to post whatever he wants wherever he wants. Had he brought the issue up here first instead of in the iphone forum(is it called that? w/e you know what I mean), his threads wouldn't have been removed. Whether or not ianho removed his threads is irrelevant aswell as any mod with the capacity to remove threads in that forum would have done so as they were posted in the wrong forum.

----
And this applies to everyone: In the same way you members expect us to respond to your problems and issues with the forum(whether it be with the staff, mods, w/e), we expect you to go through the right channels when seeking resolutions to problems.

I used to mod HW with an iron fist, while i let HW QnA run free, because the latter didn't have as many flame issues, had no post count and generally less nasty folks lurked there. If you don't like the moderating policy you'll have to talk to the mod. Frankly speaking i used to see enough reports from the football subsection even when RBR modded it actively to warrant it having an iron fist policy.

1) Saying that you have experience with American forums means nuts when you are in a Malaysian forum. In American forums, we have much more leniency as far as language constraints go, so go figure with LYN.

Yes, whether he has removed the thread or not is irrelevant but:

1) Why make the ill timed joke in the first place? As some one else has mentioned, nothing nice to say? Don't say it. Besides, to the victim, that's flamebaiting. The definition of flamebaiting:


An email, usually to a message board, written with intent to offend\anger\enrage other persons, so that they will send a flaming email in reply.

That has offended and caused rage. Why hasn't action been taken?

Though off topic, I may add that if someone were to go in an opposition thread and take the piss, he/she would be handed a warning whether it's a joke or not. I'm just stating an example that carries the similar offense.

2) Why not inform stringfellow that he should not have opened his thread there rather than closing SEVERAL similar threads.

if the mods have time to read thru this thread and reply/defend one another, can someone with power pls weed out all the irrelevant posts in this thread first? hello!? there are so many non-constructive posts all over and yet no one even bothered to remove or take care of it. the biggest joke is to have a meme picture (few pages back) in this feedback section. if you have the time to reply here, don't say you have no time to notice or remove those posts.

but deleting threads without explanation only generates ill will. the mods clearly stepped over the line with his irresponsible replies (this is not kopitiam). his subsequent attempts to cover his tracks only spark more discontent and ill will. this is clearly power abuse.

if i were TS, i wouldnt let this matter rest. sure, he posted in the wrong forums. but that doesnt justify closign the whole matter altogether

Editing isn't the same as getting a suspension. And talking about context, obviously that is irrelevant when the moderator/admin in question has already explained why the warning/suspension was given. He/she said that it is irrelevant of intent or spelling, a sustained use of profanity will be followed by a warning/suspension.

I have no problems watching a mod get the boot if he deserves it, like I said, we chat on the forums, that's about as far is it goes for me interms of relationships. Some are closer then others, that's normal, but I'll just as happily take actions against them as I would you should I have to. In the same way, if I get the boot for going too far over the line, I'll have no qualms about it.

I guess it's all about our morals.

BTW: I'm going to ask again that people who aren't posting constructive posts toward this specific issue to refrain from posting in this thread. If you have a different issue, open your own thread, that will allow both you and the OP of this thread to gain equal attention from us. It will also allow us to respond in a more timely manner, cause I probably missed like half the posts between my first post in this thread to this post.

Then the aforementioned mod is practicing a ruthless zero tolerance policy. If you don't think the policy is justified, ask for a weaker one. Also when i say context, i also mean the bigger picture. I know loads of forumers that use the context of jokes and sarcasm for flame baiting in some sections (myself included), thus it would warrant a strong approach.

It's just like how Queensland police could fine me 50 bucks for Jaywalking, but they don't. Now, imagine that Jaywalking is the cause of tons of deaths around these here places. Would they let me go so easily after that?

His thread wasn't deleted? It was closed, his posts in the other threads may have been deleted, but that'd be because he was off topic.
His threads were closed because they were in the wrong forum(well, whether or not that is the reason is irrelevant anyway, the threads were in the wrong forum and would have been closed by any other mod passing by).

If the reason is unaccepted, well what can I say... If you go to the Firedepartment to file a murder report, they're not going to entertain you are they?

There's no apology necessary to the TS of this thread, the only one who should recieve an apology would be the one on the recieving end of the joke, assuming he didn't see it as a joke and wants an apology.

If I were to go to the fire department and file a murder report, I'd be asked to go to the police.

And why delete them and put them up for the world to view in the end?

It's a public forum meant for the public to view. If I were to utter a profanity or utter a comment towards you, it doesn't matter if you or anyone feel offended as I'd get a warning regardless if it was an offense. Take racist remarks for example. It's not a conversation between the moderator and the one offended. It's a discussion between everyone involved. I thought the chewxy incident was a good precedent. It was a comment chewxy made to a particular person but everyone else got pissed, he resigned. End of.

Add: If it was a remark meant between the two parties, there's always PM.

Look at the first post. The whole thing is about him not being able to take differing opinions about his. The whole thing about him blowing his lid off was about me telling him that the TV Out option was available for the iPhone since firmware 1.1.1, and he blew off into about me and my mistreatment of newbies in the iPhone forum.

Before you assume, read the entire thread. He deleted it so that it looks favourable to his case.

That first post is supposed to be a reply to his:-

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/678610/+1780

Look at Post #1784, that was his post. He blew his lid there. The resultant multiple posts was his attempts at supressing my post , and later threw the towel, resulting in that multiple post.

This post later is segregated into a singular thread, with this thread title. Moderator Axzel then moved this thread into the Feedback section.

I have to add that the OP is correct , more and more so called mods are abusing and misusing their position , in fact it's so obvious now that it's an open secret.

I know exactly what their motives are : 1 way or another they pushing their personal agendas and have a great insecurity about themselves so much so that no post can even be 1 iota against their viewpoint.

That is why they became mods in the 1 st place : to censor all discussions only to their liking , even if the posts do not break any rules.

Also I can read them like a book and many are trying to get noticed to become future politicians [ now you know why the quality of politicians are so rubbish].

WELL , this forum has a strong PKR favor , who in theory champion free speech yet their own supporters here are censoring more than UMNO could ever dream of.

Take note : the public are not stupid , we do notice the hypocrisy .

Admin the mods need moderation.

All those are just derailment, something to talk about and sweep the issue at hand under the rug. Next time before you assume, get the story from both party. The way I see it, there is already persecution without trial. People taking care of their own kind.

Before you assume, read the entire thread. He deleted it so that it looks favourable to his case.

That first post is supposed to be a reply to his:-

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/678610/+1780

Look at Post #1784, that was his post. He blew his lid there. The resultant multiple posts was his attempts at supressing my post , and later threw the towel, resulting in that multiple post.

This post later is segregated into a singular thread, with this thread title. Moderator Axzel then moved this thread into the Feedback section.

I have been battling his constant deletion of my post in the iPhone Club Version 7 thread, and my attempts at making a new thread calling out his actions have been deleted and suppressed. THAT is why you see multiple posts made by me, in the iPhone club Version 7 thread, and THAT is why there are multiple threads calling him out. I have even posted it and tried moderate it close (since thread starter can do that), but he kept on opening it back, trying to make it look like I am spamming.

I have then managed, after he had gone tired of trying to suppress my posts, to clean up and close the multiple threads HE THEN LET RESURFACED, and also the posts in iPhone Club Version 7 Thread. Not a single attempt by him to explain his actions, nor remorse and a cleanup thereafter. I did the cleanup the best I could, as much as a normal forum member could.

That's no longer the same case as the one brought up at the start of this thread? You said, "Moderator ianho, is now actively denying my posts from being posted. He is deleting every post that had his actions exposing his childish acts of belittling Terapox during his attempts at reviving his iPhone."

Your threads were closed, yeah, and ianho did it. Fine. If he didn't do it, someone else would have, they were in the wrong forum. If your deleted posts were of the same nature featuring the same points, they would have been removed aswell, again, wrong forum.

As to your deleted post and issues outside of those pointed out in your first post, I wouldn't know, I don't check the deleted posts. But, for future reference, if you post in the wrong forum and have your post/thread removed, don't cry conspiracy, it's going to happen.

I have to add that the OP is correct , more and more so called mods are abusing and misusing their position , in fact it's so obvious now that it's an open secret.

I know exactly what their motives are : 1 way or another they pushing their personal agendas and have a great insecurity about themselves so much so that no post can even be 1 iota against their viewpoint.

That is why they became mods in the 1 st place : to censor all discussions only to their liking , even the posts do not break any rules.

Also I can read them like a book and many are trying to get noticed to become future politicians [ no you know why the quality of politicians are so rubbish].

WELL , this forum has a strong PKR favor , who in theory champion free speech yet their own supporters here are censoring more than UMNO could ever dream of.

Take note : the public are not stupid , we do notice the hypocrisy .

Admin the mods need moderation.

You know our motives? You don't know squat. I didn't become a mod to have my way, I was asked and accepted. Most if not all of the current mod team were asked to be mods, we didn't ask for the job, it was offered to us.

We are trying to be politicians? ROFL, that's rich.

We don't champion free speech. I personally have been trying to tell you people that you don't have free speech in Malaysia and that this is a private forum where you signed away your free speech.

Again, based on the first post of this thread, the claims were that his threads were closed as a personal act against him by ianho. This cannot be validated because he posted his threads in the WRONG FORUM. If you post in the wrong forum, you get your post removed.

The one deserving an apology is the guy on the recieving end of Ianho's joke, he has (as far as I know) yet to file a report or request for Ianho's apology.

He(Ianho) mistook this post as a challenge to his authority or a call to his knowledge on the subject of the iPhone:-

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Aug 22 2008, 01:38 AM)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_OS_version_history

TV OUT support have been there since 1.1.1. Please keep up with the program.
*
when it was meant as a heads-up to tell him the option was there since 1.1.1. The resultant blowup on his part, is simply because of his misintepretation of this post.

And what's fascinating is that he blew up on a totally separate topic, about the mistreatment of the newbies. Must have pent it up in his chest for a while, or had people riling him up to get this post out of his chest. My look on how newbies are treated are then explained here on this thread. Before that happened, the whole episode of him constantly deleting my posts and thread happened.

My point is, as a mod, you blowing up like this is very unprofessional-like. Leave the blowing up to the common folks like us, so you can look parent-like and take care os us common members with no wisdom. And the whole "deleting episode"? What can I say, it was akin to a salvage operation to fix an already sinking ship.

Never deny yourself justice, when you know you are in the clear. My views on newbie treatment in the iPhone forum may be up to question, but the issue here is not about that, it is about his "deletion episode" acts. You can court-martial me about my views on iPhone newbie treatment once this issue is said and done.

P/S: Regarding the issue of newbie treatment, already we are seeing results. A new member, Jackdon, had done the firmware update to 2.0.1, a fairly complicated procedure, all by himself, on his own initiative and self-reliance. This is the kind of user we are looking for in the iPhone forum, not the touch-and-go type that asks questions and disappears later. Contributary members are always a welcomed addition.

Sigh, let's clear this up...
All your deleted posts and closed threads essentially contained: [QUOTE]Moderator ianho, is now actively denying my posts from being posted. He is deleting every post that had his actions exposing his childish acts of belittling Terapox during his attempts at reviving his iPhone. This is the post I'm trying to post, which he constantly deletes to stop people from knowing his wrongdoings.

[quote]Eh Mr, Moderator, that was just a free advice, nothing to blow your lid off lah. It was there since 1.1.1 , since the days od iPhone EDge , ONE year ago.

I did not say I know everything, but perhaps those NOOBS go to you because they know if they post it in here, they get the usual "learn up or shut up" treatment. Just because you are not here often, let me tell you how it is, since you are not always around here. If it is once or twice that these NOOBS come in here for help, it is understandable, but questions that can simply be answered by looking at Apple's own iPhone page (you're buying an iPhone, you're using an iPhone, where else should you refer to buy the Apple iPhone webpage? doh.gif), or simple Search in this very own thread YOU are moderating. Are you not advocating the usage of YOUR OWN forum and using the SEARCH feature YOUR FORUM have implemented that YOU, as a MODERATOR should encourage those NOOBS to use? shakehead.gif

What's even more APPALING here is your treatment to this guy who had asked for help in this thread:-

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/772437

The guy was asking for help to revive his dead iPhone and all you have to say is this:-

[quote=ianho,Aug 21 2008, 09:40 PM]All ur iPhone is belong to us. laugh.gif Since it's dead oredi, sell for rm500 we take immediately, cash payment.
*

[/quote]


[quote=gpsp,Aug 21 2008, 09:43 PM]I offer RM600! tongue.gif
*

[/quote]

which resulted in people joining in the fun YOU INSTIGATED, while happily watching the guy suffer in his failures of fixing his iPhone.

[quote=nokia2003,Aug 21 2008, 09:58 PM]guys, please don't add posts such as purchasing his phone etc.
he is already stressful enough and will not appreciate jokes like that.
just give him some space will ya?

Not until Nokia had come in and put YOU, A MODERATOR, in your place, by teaching you not to pick on the poor guy, that you had stopped your chidings.

NOW, who the hell should have the right to remain silent here and not to abuse people YOU DEEMED AS EASY PICKINGS?

Idiot.[/quote]

Great example we have as a moderator here.[QUOTE]

Is that an accurate assumption? If so, then all your posts and threads were removed rightly(irrelevant of ianho's intent) as they were in the wrong forum. If you have a problem with someone(mod or otherwise), report it or bring it up HERE in the FEEDBACK FORUM. That's why we have the report button and feedback forum. You can't expect to go posting complaints and claims against a mod saying he's abusing powers in the wrong forum and not have your threads closed. It's simply the wrong place to do it.

And yes, it's really that simple. You can't say he's covering it up because it's his job to remove posts and threads which are no longer in topic. If you had posted here and he deleted the posts/threads, then yes, by all means cry conspiracy, call him out, or w/e.

Another thing, the forum rules are not set by you. You may have unofficial standards and rules, but the bottom line is you don't control the forum. You may say "this is how we do things" but if that doesn't agree with how we do things, who trumps who here?

I don't actually care if you disagree with my opinion of whether his threads were in the wrong forum. They were as I read it a complaint against a mod, that means it's not supposed to be in the IPHONE FORUM.

Let me break this down for you.
Feedback = Where you bring your issues(with mods, other members, whatever) up, so we can seek a resolution.
IPHONE forum = where you discuss your iphones.

Which of the two should a complaint/claim against a mod go to?

And btw, if that last bit was supposed to be a threat, lol. You sure you want to take it there? We don't take kindly to trolls.


Edit: Damnit, quotes didn't come out right. Bah, you guys should be able to read it.

Malaysianpotato,

My efforts on posting a THREAD instead of a post, is because he is constantly deleting my posts in iPhone Club Version 7 thread. Dont tell me to keep on posting in that thread, and succumb to his deletion? My actual intention of posting that thread is to call him out on his acts, but instead he carries on and deletes the thread as well. Push comes to shove, and Newton's law dictates "Every actions, there is an opposite and equal reaction", I pushed back. My whole intention was to get him to explain why my post AND my attempt to call him out, by posting a THREAD, was ignored by him, and yet ke hept deleting every single post I tried to make to get him to explain his actions.

Obviously, it is in his mind to continue ignoring these attempts and he happily went about with the deletion until he realised that he could not stop me from posting further. He then resorted to both RE-ACTIVATING the THREADS that are intended to call him out, to make it look like I'm spamming. After that episode, it WAS I who cleaned up the thread, not HIM. I felt responsible for messing up the forum, yet it was his actions that REACTIVATED the threads back again. I had to manually go into these threads, and moderate them CLOSE.

The point I'm making is, Ianho did not bear any responsibility towards his actions, of constantly deleting my posts, resulting in me calling him out using a posted THREAD. He then proceed to also delete the THREAD intended to call him out, which I in turn, try to repost back. After he was tired of it, he REACTIVATED the DELETED thread to make it look like I am spamming. All this are his smokescreen to make himself look innocent and spilling the guilty trip on me. He has yet to come to answer for his acts on this.

Take responsibility, I took mine, and did the cleanup the best I could. He however, disappears. What does that show you?

For crying out loud.

Here, plain a simple.

Feedback forum = you wanna call out a mod on his actions, you wanna complain about one of us, you wanna bring up issues, ALL HERE IN THE FEEDBACK FORUM.

IPHONE FORUM = IPHONE TALK.

Your threads were in the wrong forum, period.

So, go pass the whole thread hilang, post hilang issue and get to the main issue. Which according to your first post was that he offended you with his joke and that he got pissed off and lost his temper with you after you told him whatever.

He disappears? Cough, we have lives too. If I weren't on sick leave, I'd have kicked this issue to my next week crap-to-do-list and done other stuff.

Okay then, I guess this thread serves as a "reason" why a mod is called out and reported.

The accused mod has yet to come in to his defense.

EDIT: I'm sorry that issues like this are considered crap to you. Shows how much this forum meant to you, or its privileges/benefits. Some of us do care about this forum. I have other things to do too, but brushing it off as something trivial may just work just like brushing it under the carpet.

the fact is you were spamming. when the moderating crew decides to invisible the thread and you keep making a new one, clearly you're going against the decision of authority.

you already have a mind of your own that THE THREAD MUST EXIST when fact is that there is already a Main Site/Forum Feedback and Helpdesk section available.

so from what i see

1. you went against moderating crew decision
2. you were adamant at creating the thread
3. you were adamant at creating the thread at the wrong place

and another thing - who exactly was the moderator that took action on the thread? are you sure it's done by ianho?

which comes to point 4. do you have proof that it was ianho?

He has yet to come to answer for his acts on this.....


you WERE spamming. not only that, you WERE going against moderating crew decision.

ianho has not spoken so far, but from what i see - you are the one painting all sorts of picture at the moment.


QUOTE(stringfellow @ Aug 22 2008, 11:55 PM)
My actual intention of posting that thread is to call him out on his acts, but instead he carries on and deletes the thread as well. Push comes to shove, and Newton's law dictates "Every actions, there is an opposite and equal reaction", I pushed back. My whole intention was to get him to explain why my post AND my attempt to call him out, by posting a THREAD, was ignored by him, and yet ke hept deleting every single post I tried to make to get him to explain his actions.


dude, what do you think this place is? a bar? call people out? WTH!?!?!? who are you that you think you have the given rights to create a thread that's totally off topic to CALL HIM OUT?

for a person like you, i was expecting a more civilized approach, something that could be done in tasteful, proper and respectful manner. opening a thread at the wrong place to call the person out and this and that just isn't the way, like gangster style go yell outside someone's house to bring attention when a phone call would be good.

if explanation was what you are seeking, then a simple PM to him asking "excuse me ianho, may I know why..........." would suffice - simple, sweet and polite. you could've discussed with him via PM, or approach the moderator of the section or someone of higher authority to highlight your dissatisfaction but noooooo, you had to do what you did.

and you got the cheek to claim "push comes to shove" when actually you're the one doing all the pushing and shoving. you were clearly against forum R&R and it is clear that your transgressions are many but when the moderator was just doing his / her job.

currently there's no proof or record on who did the invisible, but whoever that moderator was - while he / she could've shifted the thread to the appropraite section, deleting the threads weren't wrong either.

Okay then, I guess this thread serves as a "reason" why a mod is called out and reported.

The accused mod has yet to come in to his defense.

EDIT: I'm sorry that issues like this are considered crap to you. Shows how much this forum meant to you, or its privileges/benefits. Some of us do care about this forum. I have other things to do too, but brushing it off as something trivial may just work just like brushing it under the carpet.

Well, honestly look at how long it's taking you people to understand the simple freaking functions of seperate forums. I mean, how else can it be classified?

It's been easily over 2 hours and people are still saying that it was the right forum to post a complaint/call out/whatever you want to call it against a mod. Well, gee whiz, if it takes that long for people to understand that you post relevant topics in the appropriate forum, what the heck else can you call it other than crap without being profane?

This has been so far a complete waste of time.

Now, get past the whoooooooooooole threads closed, complaints deleted stuff as that's all irrelevant and start again. What is your complaint against Ianho?

eta: Oh yay, goldy's here. Baton pass!

That's no longer the same case as the one brought up at the start of this thread? You said, "Moderator ianho, is now actively denying my posts from being posted. He is deleting every post that had his actions exposing his childish acts of belittling Terapox during his attempts at reviving his iPhone."

Your threads were closed, yeah, and ianho did it. Fine. If he didn't do it, someone else would have, they were in the wrong forum. If your deleted posts were of the same nature featuring the same points, they would have been removed aswell, again, wrong forum.

As to your deleted post and issues outside of those pointed out in your first post, I wouldn't know, I don't check the deleted posts. But, for future reference, if you post in the wrong forum and have your post/thread removed, don't cry conspiracy, it's going to happen.
Name of mods, time and date, and name of thread, file a report or pm an admin. Any posts deleted can be viewed by admins. If you can't provide the information, your claims are invalid.

You know our motives? You don't know squat. I didn't become a mod to have my way, I was asked and accepted. Most if not all of the current mod team were asked to be mods, we didn't ask for the job, it was offered to us.

We are trying to be politicians? ROFL, that's rich.

We don't champion free speech. I personally have been trying to tell you people that you don't have free speech in Malaysia and that this is a private forum where you signed away your free speech.

rolleyes.gif  You know what, troll elsewhere, we're not here to entertain trolls.
Again, based on the first post of this thread, the claims were that his threads were closed as a personal act against him by ianho. This cannot be validated because he posted his threads in the WRONG FORUM. If you post in the wrong forum, you get your post removed.

The one deserving an apology is the guy on the recieving end of Ianho's joke, he has (as far as I know) yet to file a report or request for Ianho's apology.

how does a photographer making things worst doh.gif

Any logic sense?

2nd, I didn't side to ianho at all.

3rd, I didn't side to TS

4th, I didn't side to anyone.

I explained about LIFE
I explained that hearing one sided comment/complaint is not fair.

Does this makes things worst?

I'm patiently waiting ianho to come in. If he's wrong, yes, he's wrong. If he's right, then he's right.

Just as simple as that.

Don't make things complicated already.

Well look at the content of the post, I dont see anyone getting the brunt end of the post other than him?

As for proof, we all as a common member are all deprived of any proof done by the moderators here. There are no transparencies, and all acts are done "to whatever discretion" that person in power holds, and what's more, WE DONT KNOW who did it because there arent any breadcrumbs to follow. There is no post like "I am deleting this because......" from the deleting person of power, the pleasantries works both way. Also, if I am out of my way on this, shouldnt someone of higher wisdom and patience like the esteemed moderating team here point it out? Instead of moderating and disappear? That person TOO could have just come out and explain what he or she is doing so that all things can be sorted out. The procedures you moderators go through are not made known here (obviously for good reasons), but when things are bound to get ugly like this, a simple PM could have saved the day. And it would not have been degrading if the moderating person to PM a common folk like me, in fact I'd welcome it rather than proceed to make things uglier. Agreed?

True, no proof WHO did it, and I suspect nobody will come forward and admit that he did it. The "lack of proof" mantra has been the cornerstone of the "invincibility cloak" many have used throughout the ages to disprove their misdeeds and kept their grip on power. Nothing new here.

As I have expected, the resolution is this. I am, still apparently in the wrong. Do as you wish, I believe I have been civil and appropriate until I was pushed into the corner with this debacle. If I have not, then I have my reasons.

I too believe that the people here have spoken too. Whatever the resolution is, they all know what had happened, and what could have happened when you cross another moderator and his power. This may be a first post for me here in this section, but "there wouldnt be smoke if there are not traces of fire".

aiyah no need baton pass.

actually i'm aware of this like 6 hrs back, just that the things look so crazy (and stupid) I just decide to let it ride for a while.

from what i see, (as i mentioned earlier)

i see at least 3 counts of offense from stringfellow, and 1 count of accusation with no proof or at least I've yet to see any proof that is concrete enough to point that ianho was the one involved and that the person (whoever he / she was) was abusing power.

count of offense from whoever that moderator? ehhh i see a moderator doing his / her job invisibling a post that's not supposed to be there. stringfellow probably not clever enough or too caught up with his agenda to realize that it's at the wrong section and there's already a dedicated section for complaints. laugh.gif

why did all the threads appear again? looks to me like stringfellow is so persistent, the moderator decide to let it be and give stringfellow what he wanted............

It doesnt matter to me already, because I can see where all this is going already. So you can just be done with this thread, slap me a bad guy( or a BADDER GUY ) tag, and we move on with our lives. I'm happy to know that some of the incredulity and ridiculousness of the moderating examples we have in this forum is brought to light for everyone to see, and that they take heed that it would not happen to them.

Moral of the story: Never cross a moderator, instead, just agree with him. It will save you a lot of your troubles, even if you know it was not fair to begin with. I dont have to point out that there are others who share the same sentiment with me.

Have a good night, sleep tight with that conscience under your pillow.

1. If ianho disappear, everyone in the public wouldn't be reading what you've wrote in the iphone subforum. Isn't transparency is what you are seeking of and ianho is here to comply with your demand since you've brought up the dispute in the correct channel - helpdesk. Nobody delete your post in the first place. With your post invisible, admin/mods can look into it in the future if any dispute arise which is what happening now. So far what ianho did is by the book...
QUOTE(stringfellow @ Aug 22 2008, 05:21 PM)

...not this.
Again, you did in fact spam just to get the mod's attention which is consider a troll behaviour when you should have done it in the helpdesk. Do you realize that or you chose to ignore it?

2. Now the only way to resolve this issue is wait till the Admins come into play. ianho coming out now wouldn't help much since both of you've made enough "accusation" on each other in the iphone subforum. There will only be more of "your word" vs "his word". I am sure the Admins would do their best and not mistreat anyone, given that there is any valid reason.

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Aug 22 2008, 05:41 PM)
And I'm having to re-close the threads I've opened to expose him, that he had deleted repeatedly, and now reactivating them. And people wonder why I lost faith in the mods here?
*
*reason why I am posting here.
3. We definitely have a set of rules & guideline that need follow when it comes to moderating, how well a moderator execute it is different story.
You've made your point that nobody is paying you to help the community so don't expect any smile out of you (...and be rude?) but I do hope you would do the same and stop generalizing while treating us like real politician. Nobody is paying us either and the moderating team is fairly large, we do not think alike and we certainly are not all friends.

How are we supposed to provide date and time ? when the post is already deleted ? and how do we know which Mod is the culprit if there is more than 1 on the section ?

If we start to point fingers then we will again be accused of " attacking the wrong person " .

1 note : I for 1 don't believe for 1 second that all the mods were " asked " , i can just see from the way some behave and the way they angle their posts , that they were aiming for the mods spot all the way from day 1.

People who like to abuse power normally plan a long long way out cause end of the day very few people respect them.

It's really simple.

Generally posts or threads posted in the wrong forum will be closed, deleted(invis'd) or moved. I personally just close. 9/10 times, the poster figures out why his thread was removed or closed as it's really common sense. Posting a complaint in the Iphone forum, kinda obvious.

No idea, doesn't really matter? Who ever was there at the time.

Simple question.

Who moderated the threads and deleted my posts?

I can understand WHY the threads are moderated, but why the posts were constantly deleted?

This post:-

QUOTE
Eh Mr, Moderator, that was just a free advice, nothing to blow your lid off lah. It was there since 1.1.1 , since the days od iPhone EDge , ONE year ago.

I did not say I know everything, but perhaps those NOOBS go to you because they know if they post it in here, they get the usual "learn up or shut up" treatment. Just because you are not here often, let me tell you how it is, since you are not always around here. If it is once or twice that these NOOBS come in here for help, it is understandable, but questions that can simply be answered by looking at Apple's own iPhone page (you're buying an iPhone, you're using an iPhone, where else should you refer to buy the Apple iPhone webpage? doh.gif), or simple Search in this very own thread YOU are moderating. Are you not advocating the usage of YOUR OWN forum and using the SEARCH feature YOUR FORUM have implemented that YOU, as a MODERATOR should encourage those NOOBS to use? shakehead.gif

What's even more APPALING here is your treatment to this guy who had asked for help in this thread:-

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/772437

The guy was asking for help to revive his dead iPhone and all you have to say is this:-

QUOTE(ianho @ Aug 21 2008, 09:40 PM)

NOW, who the hell should have the right to remain silent here and not to abuse people YOU DEEMED AS EASY PICKINGS?

Idiot.


That post was supposed to be posted after Ianho posted his on this thread after Post #1784. Why delete this post?

i think that was in reference to the spam of threads created today.

as for the posts, donno - have to check first. anyway accusations without proof is not good.

anyone who has any form of dissatisfaction on moderation taken, they could always highlight the matter and express the reasons of their dissatisfaction.

Please check it and I'd like an answer to that, please.

I'd like an answer as to why that post was constantly deleted, resulting in me having to post a THREAD and called spamming.

My point is, as a mod, you blowing up like this is very unprofessional-like. Leave the blowing up to the common folks like us, so you can look parent-like and take care os us common members with no wisdom. And the whole "deleting episode"? What can I say, it was akin to a salvage operation to fix an already sinking ship.

P/S: Regarding the issue of newbie treatment, already we are seeing results. A new member, Jackdon, had done the firmware update to 2.0.1, a fairly complicated procedure, all by himself, on his own initiative and self-reliance. This is the kind of user we are looking for in the iPhone forum, not the touch-and-go type that asks questions and disappears later. Contributary members are always a welcomed addition.

Hey string,

thought i might put in my 2 cents on the matter.

"Professional" means getting payment to do a job. We moderators get our training on the fly and our payment is.... well.... satisfaction of a job well done?

ianho deletes your posts. you complain he is shutting you up and abusing power.
ianho hears your complaints and UNDELETES your posts. you complain he is making you look like a spammer and he is abusing power.
Thats a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation isnt it?

What power do we moderators have over you? we cant raise or lower taxes/petrol price. we cant take away your job. we cant even mess your internet connection.

I'm glad you have a criteria for welcoming new members to the club. Last I remembered, this was a forum. A place of information to flow and exchange freely(also meaning without charge). Openly giving without hoping for anything in return. No rewards, no pats on the back, sometimes the newbs even leave without a simple "Hey Great! it works now! !" I say its their loss more than yours.

so ianho has a different opinion as you do about "touch-n-go" posters. he deletes your comments because he feels you are intimidating them. Is he not allowed to express that opinion? If anything he just needs to be more diplomatic about it. Its so easy to read things the wrong way these days.

As for how important your opinion is, doesnt the fact that about 1/2 dozen mods and admin talking to you say something?

Hmmm. I guess I'm too much the slow old fool in this internet generation. Everyone already got their say.

How are we supposed to provide date and time ? when the post is already deleted ? and how do we know which Mod is the culprit if there is more than 1 on the section ?

Is this question really that hard to answer ?

ahhh no, constant deletion of post is not related to you spamming threads at wrong section.

next time - use the already available means for proper attention to your complaint.

This post have so much content that is relevant to this mess, I could kiss you for it!

The whole mess started with the post deletion. It signifies cowardice to me, instead of coming to me face to face (or post to post for that matter tongue.gif), that person chose to ignore and conveniently delete and pretend it never happened. If I was brush aside that easily, I would be somewhat miffed. Wouldnt you?

This is, after all, a forum. And the act of brushing aside one's post, possibly because it differs in opinion than yours negates the function of being in a forum.

Good , glad you realise it but a forum cannot be truly " free " if it is constantly being perverted to suit what one like and does not like to hear.

Nothing free about that , the implication and follow on as many have noted is that you have to grovel to the " right " people for " free exchanges " . Not free at all.

I think if you put that to a real vote on LYN the answer would be NO. Who's to say who is intimidated unless there is a direct complaint from others. How can an opinion be " expressed " by deletion ? makes no sense .

that's not the point , we are pointing out that some Mods are abusing their power ie) that it is OUTSIDE the remit of LYN own guidelines

Being partial is an asset rarely found on people these days, deora. Employing someone and befitting that someone power, when he is incapable of being partial, is an usurping snake coiling, waiting to strike.

I dont want to say anything more, other than my wish to know who deleted that post.

Simple question.

Who moderated the threads and deleted my posts?

I can understand WHY the threads are moderated, but why the posts were constantly deleted?

This post:-
-snip-
That post was supposed to be posted after Ianho posted his on this thread after Post #1784. Why delete this post?

I'd say it should have been brought up via pm or here. Your post would have been flamebait, regardless of original intent. If you've noticed, we have a large number of trolls on this forum, many of them have posted in this thread. There are alot of people out there who are anti-administration(fight the power and all that) because of current political issues or otherwise who choose to vent on us because of the limitations of the abilities to do so against the political parties they want to. They all feed on any opportunity they can get to "fight the power" and atleast by limiting it to pm's or bringing it here, the collateral would be minimized.

It wasn't necessary to bring it out in the open and IMO should have been sent via pm, IMO.

Eta: I think you mean impartial?

So maybe its cowardice. Maybe its bad diplomacy. You cant expect everyone to quite as verbose and articulate about things. Using words like 'corrupt' and 'abuse' are only gonna flare things up more than they need be.

But then commenting about the questions noobs ask, saying they are not contributing, does that not negate the function of the forum as well? I am not saying 2 wrongs make a right, but compounding the mess with accusations because of a difference of opinion is not going to solve the matter.

That is up for debate. But would you not concede that even if it happens, that it happens in a virtual space where it has no the politics that control your livelyhood and job? That in the end no money or property or civil liberty of yours can be removed as a result of our censure?

Maybe maybe not but I can't how it is relevant .

The point is regarding what you said about a FREE exchange of information.

He could have practised restraint himself, instead of flaring like that too. All this because he blew his lid off. All I did was pointing out to him that little snippet of an info, and he came back as if I've insulted his family or something. If you point me out as not being discreet, his flare-ups are as discreet as Britney Spear's crotch!

True, but the fact that these newbies take no responsibillity into ownership of the iPhone, causes multiple threads of the same nature and questions, being posted. There is a reason why there is a pinned FAQ and a "READ Me FIRST" at the front page. I do not discourage discussion or queries, but asking questions as stark-obvious as "Can Unlock iPhone 3G?" when you can easily look it up in the FAQ, had the bloods of the regulars there boiling. Some do not want to do much other than sniping quick remarks here and there, but me being me, I voice out my opinion. My sentiments were then shared with others, only after this was made public/obvious.

We do not discourage questions, we encourage self reliance and independancy. I can ask questions 10 times to you about what time is it now, but I'm sure after the 6th or 7th time, you're gonna ask me to get myself a watch. wink.gif

stringfellow, i don't think you need reminding that moderators have earned a right to be treated with respect in here.

you're within your rights to bring up this matter for review, but there is no necessity to make such a big issue out of it - to the extend of berating the entire moderating team. If the purpose of this thread is to bring the misunderstanding into focus, then just present your case and wait for a response.
