Banned as per childish request.

Yes, a good deal of the mods that frequent here (with the exception of Martin and and a few others) are very unprofessional and prone to tantrums. That is one reason why I dont frequent the board. I can understand, because you have people who come here, dont use the search function, and ask the same questions over and over, but still that is no excuse for completely callous. I say a bit less moderating is in order, and disagreeing with an admin is certainly NOT grounds for expulsion. That is simply childish, Trotterwatch.

Please try to keep the conversation intelligent, as well as trying to write complete sentences please. Back to the topic, Obviously mods means well, but the fact is there that some admins are sometimes irresponsible, and Trotterwatch just happened to be a good example because he banned someone for a less-then-just cause a few replies ago. This forums is teeming with immature users and admins do have to step in when the rules are broken, there is no argument there. I'm simply stating my opinion that sometimes mods ban unjustly or act in a manner unfitting of a moderator.

No need to destroy a perfectly good thread about nothing with inteligence :p Everyone is entitled to an opinion, even if they are wrong. ;) Have I acted unjustfully? Probaly! Have people been banned for less-then-just cause? Probaly! Is this thread trivial? Definitely!

Life isn't fair, sometimes you win but let's face it. The odds are against us ;-)
I usually don't ban people, not because I don't want but because if someone else bans them before me I knew my hunch was right.

As for when 1964 is coming out, hopefully when Schibo and Rice feels that it's finished and they have contributed to the project to a point they feel they can let go. Rushing things usually isn't the answer.

It's all karma ;-)

the topic of this thread is actually "When is the next release of 1964 coming out?", not a complaint thread about mods :p

and tirog almost literally asked to be banned (or band as he put it :p), so i don't think the banning was unjust

That is simply childish, Trotterwatch.

Banning a user who posted a message simply to test the moderators is childish? Can't say I agree with you on this one.

No personal attacks please :) They could cause offence. Attacks on someones English ability do not aid intelligent conversation.

As for the criticsm, each to their own. I understand I can seem to be a bit strict - but the main reason is, I am around and about an awful lot. For the banning of Tirog I am 100% satisfied it was just, you disagree? Fine, that doesn't bother me one iota.

Let's try to get this thread back on topic...erm then again perhaps lock it? :)

if tirog had been someone who signed up for a laugh just to post offensive threads then thats ok
but seeing as he was a member for a year and had 50 posts then i must say i personally disagree

He was signed up for a year, and so he should have realised that he should have maintained a sense of decorum rather than posting that childish rant.

seriously, anyone who can't take a little criticism is bound to deserve it the most.

personally i've long thought trotterwatch was one of the "good guys", but i agree that tirog being banned was probably over kill. i honestly think unless someone is spouting obscenities off-topic or gratuitous gay porn or racial slurs and they're doing one of these three in a non-humorous fashion, then they shouldn't get banned.

i mean, it's an emulator forum. it's not dinner with the in laws for the first time. i think everyone could lighten up a great deal. last i checked, emulation was solely for fun. i know of nobody making it into a commercial enterprise (though i've thought of several ways myself... ;)), and even then a little criticism and good hearted bandering, regardless of offense to anyone thin skinned enough to be a cry baby, is probably a good thing in some ways.

people are so whiney and insecure and touchy these days. it's like there's no reason to be a man and suck it up online, because you'll never really MEET any of these people.

so weak.

I'll tell you what - should the admins, or other moderators deem the banning of Tirog as wrong, then they have my full 110% blessing to unban him. I won't feel wronged by the decision :)

Personally I believe I only gave him what he had asked for. Some disagree, and I can only restate that I believed it neccessary at the time, and still do.

I am a very reasonable person though, believe me - treat me well and I will treat you well. I don't bear grudges either.

Can I just add once again though, should anyone have a specific issue with me, could you please raise it in an adult manner through my Private Messages. Believe me, I will respond favourably, and in a kind manner.

One more thing - if I honestly believe I am in the wrong, I am not the sort of person who is too proud to apologise and admit that I got it wrong. I am a human being though, and as such can make errors of judgement/mistakes from time to time (I guess you could argue the same for some banned members ;)) :flowers:

IMO I don't think he should be unbanned. He knew the rules since he's been here a year. He tested the mods and he paid the price.

As to the original question, when we know, you'll know :). Thanks.
As to what this thread has been reduced to, if you have an argument, please use another forum.

Funny you should mention a poll...........

This is the same fool who a made a thread with the title 1964 release for thanks giving.........

I had to change it to My personal wish for new release poll.

It was a stupid poll & i added a 5th option which btw is winning.
This is the Poll Here

Now he got cross with why i changed the title..

I dont think Trots did wrong, to be honest Ive been offline because of ISP probs but if i was here i would have done the same.

Now please no arguments & please no more stuff that can bother the Authors or the beta testers.

I think all of them have been more then helpfull with members questions & beta shot posts

Anyone know?

Also, there aren't gonna be anymore Project64 releases right?

When we know for sure, you'll know :).


The other conversation in here belongs in another forum.
