I see what you mean... I just dont see how that is the case. Normally when I tell someone to calm down in my normal nice tone people stop. (Trolls are an exception)

So I never understood why a harsh tone is even needed... Actually reading what I just said I try to calm people down (Which works) which normally makes them drop the topic without any rage and either move on without having to lock the topic or if it does get locked nobody has a problem with it. (Oh, and SR is not the only place I mod at, there are others (But I use different names, I normally use a single name for about 3 forums)

But I dont care anymore, be as harsh as you want, be as cool as you want, manage the place the way you know how and have fun with it.

(In before I get told my trick does not work and I am full of myself so to answer that, my trick works for me very fast and friendly and I am very full of myself, I had too much success not to be full of myself.)

Dude, they understood what you are saying and are currently handling the problem. That's what Roarz stated in the Staff Feedback results. I recommend that you actually read it because it addresses everything we have said up to this point. You keep saying you get it and moved on but you keep dragging it out.

Do me a favour and show me which forum(s) you work at.

Ditto.

Alright Shadon, I've humored you long enough. I've been staff at one of the biggest Sonic sites in the world for 8 years, that's half your entire fucking life span, so let's cut the smug shit shall we, Mr teenage professional.

You claim you work at other forums besides Sonic Revolution, and I should hope that you do, considering the biggest forum on SR has only 31 topics. SR has less posts than SSMB has members, and this forum is nowhere near as big as the old one was before it was deleted in 2009 due to an ISP fuckup.

When you joined here you made it explicitly clear that your entire intention was to critique these forums and assess how good/bad the staff were. I put aside the fact that this was the most pretentious shit I've ever seen and decided to play along, because it was a good opportunity to display just how good the staff are here. With this last post you left me, like a dog might shit on the sidewalk, has sealed the deal for me and you need to come down a peg or several.

Going from your latest status update on SR:

"Call me crazy, but I'm the best"

I would call you neither, because you're 16 and so full of shit (as you just foolishly admitted) that half your eyeballs are dimmed with it stacking up inside your conceited ass. Your excellent forum methodology, as you'd like to believe it is, works because the forums you help to run are tiny. You wouldn't last 10 minutes on a large forum and you don't have the experience that could qualify your pretentious opinions.

So let me put this real simple and easy for you (and I'm not having a go at SR, I don't condone mocking entire websites). You join here, act like the staff, whom have worked their arses off here for years, owe you an explanation for everything they do within a day of you turning up and actually have the audacity to talk about how great you are. You're a fucking joke mate, get your attitude in check and humble yourself. I'm supposed to be the cunt here, such a cunt that TSSZ has written articles about me (when was the last time anyone gave a shit about anything you had to say?) but you don't see me talking about how great I am or making status updates like a cocky dipshit. Do you know why? Because modesty and humility are important, which is a lesson you need to learn before you waltz in here acting like you're special.

Stick to your own forums until you can sort out your attitude and don't fucking sass me or the rest of the staff again.

This is going to be the last time I make a post or ever log in, if you want to use a PM to me feel free but I will not reply. I am the researcher. I hear several rumors, go to the place and test to see if the rumors are correct for my own personal use. With proper permission I was able to use another name if I dont go over bored. To end this entire thing I really dont like any of you (Other then the admins and the team that works on the main site with the news) So you dont like me? Good, I dont want any of you to like me, I am just a shadow that will be forgotten but had an impact.

You wanted the other forums he works at? Here you go... Oh wait, I dont feel comfortable revealing other forums because of this.
http://board.sonicst...status-updates/

I will not allow many of you trolls from here going to the other forums and troll so because of this post I will not reveal the other places.

This is my final words, you can use what happened to improve or yell. I dont care, I came here for what I wanted to do and nothing else, it seems I over stayed my welcome a long time ago and I do apologize for that, I just got carried away.

I admit it was a mistake using another name however I was trying a new strategy that failed.

But dont worry, I too have learned from all this and you will never see me again, and after talking to the one that the name I used he will not be attending either. Now go back to what you do best.

Now if my predictions are correct, this post will be deleted (Or the link topic will) and we all will go away from this either happy, or enraged. That is all.

[Roarz]

You were tolerable up to the moment you started bragging and grinning, it is obnoxious. I have not been rude to you once until now and actually listened to what you had to say, which is a fuck of a lot more than anyone slagging off this site would give me or the other staff credit for. You obviously can't face the music, so when you actually get called out on something you run away. You don't get to treat people like that and get away with it, especially not on the internet. I hope this experience helps you attain adulthood.

Actually, I'll clarify my above actions for other readers. I took the criticisms of theresearcher/shadon seriously, to the point that I had the staff worried I was turning against them. I spent a while putting together that big fucking essay in the announcements forum (and the feedback topic, listening to everybodys' opinions) to try and explain why the staff work the way they do and what do I get for it? Some messages stating the same thing over and over, ignorant of the points I made, followed by smugness and self-entitlement. Despite the fact that this forum runs fucking excellently. This is how to piss off a Roarz, ladies and gentlemen. Please don't be like theresearcher/shadon, because it does annoy me and I don't want to end up being aggressive again.

I don't care if you read this or not, but this is unbelievable bullshit. Have a good one mate.

[theresearcher]

Oh my, but good admin, I recall you said to drop it and you continue to go on stating the obvious on what I intended. I didn't think it would get so far as to this but you live and learn. And it is not running away if you say to drop something. Contradicting? Perhaps.

You are correct, I am not moderator material, that is why I am not a moderator. But I do understand members and what happens when many get mad and spread rumors. I could go out and say how mean you are right now. But I will not due to it not being apart of my list of things to do.

It appears a fight just broke out between us good admin, I do hope you dont shift the blame but the odds of that happening are 100% but I had to get back at him anyway. So what should be done now expert? 8 years of moderating and you just now see the problems coming up from the members. What is your almighty choice now? Your expertise must have the best choice for a situation such as this good sir. Choose wisely.

[Tornado]

So your master plan was to act like a pretentious asshole and have people respond to you as such?



Congratulations?

[theresearcher]

Oh yes, I forgot to mention, after a long chat with the admin I talked him into making this topic, in the end it seems the staff will try to be nicer so my mission is complete.

[Semi-colon e]

But I do understand members

From a member's perspective, I don't think you do. Most of us don't have any major issues here. We'll voice gripes, but most of us are happy here.

Besides you're not making any sense to me

Are you really challenging the staff? Do you even know what you are doing right now?

No.

I think your ass is caught in the revolving door on the way out man. The only impact your making is how dense you're coming off as, I'm sorry.

What should be done? I thought you had made your last post. I wasn't aware you wanted me to do anything about you. I don't ban people for arguing with me XP.

I have dealt with member problems for all the 8 years I've been staff, and a handful people saying "you could be less mean sometimes" does not constitute a problem. Or maybe it's like evidence of the apocalypse or some shit. Honestly, you're just making yourself look even more ridiculous now, so quit before you just make it worse. Stand by what you say and bugger off, show some integrity.

Oh and this is a staff matter, this does not give members permission to start flaming theresearcher. I understand you're pissed off with him slagging off the forum, I understand perfectly, but be aware that by attacking theresearcher you are breaking the forum rules. I will have no choice but to hand out strikes if it continues, so leave him be.

[Sean]

This isn't an excuse for you regular members to join in, so please knock off some of your more hostile tones. The staff is what Shadon has been targeting in his posts, so there's no need for you guys to replicate such anger.

My bad bro. Just lost it for a sec.

No.

Yes, I am the one that caused this topic to exist in the first place.

I know, I am being looked at as the jerk that thinks he knows what he is doing but in the end just all talk. But I am seeing improvements already. Sure I had to sacrifice things but it seems to have been better in the end.

I am caught in the revolving door on the way out. That is hilarious, it really is. But I think I am standing infront of the door before I leave.

[Sean]

This is going to be the last time I make a post or ever log in

Can you please just stop making a fool of yourself already like you promised you would four posts ago? Cut the dramatics already, you're not as important as you're making yourself out to be.

[Roarz]

Yes, I am the one that caused this topic to exist in the first place.

You still haven't learned anything XP. You aren't the one who caused this topic to exist, we had other members like DQ bring up the same points long before you did and I was getting sick of seeing the same bullshit. So I figured I'd make a topic and get everything out in the open to see what's what, then take the time to explain to members why certain things take place. You didn't cause this topic to exist, I did, because I made the bloody thing.

Anyway, you're now disrupting this topic, it's not about you it's about feedback from everyone. Expect a ban if you keep it up.

[Diz]

I always had the feeling that you joined/stayed this forum for the wrong reasons. Even if you seemed to change your mind somewhat shortly after joining, you acted as if you were still on a mission. Try to forget about the staff for a while, just hop into the topics and join discussions, partake and contribute, be a part of the community and have an awesome time. =)

Although it seems like you are leaving or taking a break, if you are coming back later, try to relax and do not focus on investigating, just hop in and try to have fun. At least seems like the majority here are having a time of their lives whenever they browse here, so we must be doing something right.

Edit:

I dont know what to say about that... I did not expect that kind of answer... Perhaps I was here for the wrong reasons. But its too late to turn a leaf now. I have everyone hating me.

You are not the only member who feels they have had a bad start, but there is not much to do about that. You are still a member of these boards, so you are still game, and anything can happen. I do not think members will keep hating others who change and do efforted contributions, become a warm part of the community, etc. I was hated by the staff, and yet, here I am, teehee~

[theresearcher]

Can you please just stop making a fool of yourself already like you promised you would four posts ago? Cut the dramatics already.

Well I cant argue with that. I shall do as you say. Good bye and have fun.

That's because you are all talk. You're 16 -- nobody at that age knows fuck all. You think you do, but you really don't. I didn't either.
