Overdue Rant

Filed under: Rant

Well I know I haven’t posted a lot, mainly due to busy life, problems and of course the fact I’m a lazeh kitteh. So I apologise as I know you’ll all be incredibly disappointed that my first post in a while is a rant.

So, what’s it this time? Well nothing new I guess. It’s utterly stupid, disrespectful and moronic members but not at if for once, rather the forum I work on. GN. I moderate there, probably the one who does the most work out of us excluding our admin that is - he works his ass off to keep everyone happy. to sparks.

I have to confess I’m getting tired of certain people’s attitudes. Thankfully the well known idiots are gone, like Azn and Jepps. w00t! But christ the cheek of some n00bs! I don’t understand where people get off coming to our forum, throwing their weight around and then moan when they get in trouble for it. Who the hell do they think they are?

Now I understand n00bs making mistakes and I’m more than leniant with that but call me crazy, the excuse of "I didn’t see the rules!!!" doesn’t wash with me. Pinned topics, rules above every forum AND the blood guidelines, especially with our older members. HOW MUCH CLEAERER CAN IT BE????

I’ve tried being nice, I’ve tried being direct, I’ve tried ensuring the rules are pointed out in my sig, I’ve tried begging, I’ve tried warning, I’ve tried arguing, I’ve tried making examples. Nothing. And so I’m now in no tolerance mode. Screw being mister nice guy, I’m tired of being taken for a ride. I have a job to do and I’ll damn well do it without being questionned, I’m not there to make friends (although I have ^_^), I’m there to look after things. I can’t believe I’m now forced to instant warnings, heavy suspensions and permanent bans in order to stop people ruining the forum for everyone else. Quite a step down from my old "Please observe the rules", "Please be nice", "Please please please".

Why must people try to ruin things for everyone? Why must people try prove they are the best? Why do egos overtake respect and maturity? Why the hell do I have to come on everyday and be bombarded with arguements, spam, problems and idiots?

I know I know, I’m a moderator and it’s my job. I have no problem with it, I don’t mind cleaning up other people’s problems and keeping the forum nice, I enjoy it actually. But I don’t understand the reasoning behind people who think they can do as they please without regard for anyone. It pisses me off royaly to see good members slandered and treated like crap by these nobodies. Sorry of that sounded snobish but forum wise these people ARE nobodies. They are insignificant, uncooperative, self centered, abusive idiots who deserve to be banned from the internet, their sole purpose is to make everyone miserable and look down their nose.

What really annoys me is they have the bloody cheek to tell me how to my job! The rules say don’t start arguements so I stop ‘em and delete such posts and suddenly I’m incompetent?

I have no remorse for these people. I take little pride in having to suspend or warn people but when it comes to them I don’t think twice. If it wasn’t for the fact we have at least one nice member I’d have gone insane. But I refuse to quit and give into them.

It must seem odd that they get to me but when you have to do it everyday it becomes a part of your online life. I could resign and just return to the ranks of membership but sod it. I enjoy my job, I like working there and I’ll be damned if I leave before I rid of these idiots.

On a lighter note, I wub Richard.
