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.

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?

Moderating team will always win, so don't even try to create a thread to complain because u will never win.

This defeats the purpose of even trying to get this right. Utter rubbish i must say..Oh to hell with them..ponitless to even think there will be good moderators. Looks like they will never be..

i remembered once i was told by a STAFF..

HE : For gods sake, i m not being PAID for doing these [mods work]!!!

For example :
Does it mean..when u do voluntary work at old folks home..and bcos of ur negligence some old lady fell and died...and can u go SHOUTING :

For gods sake, i m not being paid for doing these..

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?

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.

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.

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.

Just because you think in such a manner, it does not mean that everybody thinks in such a manner.

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.

Well, again, context. I can't say f***kkk in photography (goldfries keeps editing my posts). But i can say it in RWI, kopitiam. It's down to how things are run and how bad things are on the ground.

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. But if you feel that things have improved, go talk to yer mod.

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.
