Give him his rate ups. They're all he has.

[Uzor]

And yes, I am well-aware of the fact that I made some of the dots etc. But that's not because I actually care about how many dots I have, its because the old ones were ugly. If they're going to be forced upon me, I'd rather they actually look nice then just some boring dots that hurt my eyes every time I read a post.

 

[K. Ishitar]

Which was my point, which is also why Audino's post was just stupid. He counters Jamal's addiction to green dots and lolonlinereputation with "Says the guy with an admitted god-complex". Since when does god-complex involve e-peen and green dots?

the way I interpreted it, was along the lines of

Takes one to know one, maybe the circumstances aren't the same but the parallels in terms of issues are too all alike

 

[Mattaru]

On a more serious note.

It is nothing new that Jamal and these boards have an ongoing conflict of sorts. Its no secret that Jamal sees his reputation as a type of validation for him being on the board nonetheless.

Point being, I don't see this thread really changing anything. People who like Jamal and hang around with him, people who rate him up are not just going to automatically going to stop liking him because he did something hypocritical towards a mod. Moreover, I highly doubt Jamal is going to care if people on the fence about him lean the other way, because they are just that, peripheral people as far as his ingame and rl life is concerned.

All in all, this is a well organized flame by you Arcty, and probably to get it off your chest, but it isn't going to significantly change the way people feel about others on the board.

I really don't see why the hell rep is such a big deal. "HEY I'M POPULAR ON AN INTERNET BOARD THAT ISN'T EVEN FOR MY OWN SERVER, I MUST FUCKING ROCK."

No way dude, If I had a dollar for every time my E-Peen got me laid, I'd have like...aw...fuck.

We all need to feel important, for some this may be the only place.... D:

 

[Rayn]

Be happy for having a huge e-peen, hell I'm still pissing on my e-balls since I am lacking in that department.

 

[Icewolf]

E-peen != real-life god complex.

Who the fuck cares about the green bar besides your name? Really? Do you really have that fucking bad self-esteem that your daily joy in life is to see those green dots beside your name? Is your daily "YAY! I'M LOVED!" in life seeing someone rate you up?

If "Yes" is the answer to even one of those questions, you need to seriously take more responsibility over your life. If no is the question to both of those questions, then WTF do you care if Miros gives Rappa 600 points?

Since I can't edit posts;

The reason I admit my god complex is simply because I love seeing people get pissed off and angry. Watching people throw insults around due to their anger is highly entertaining. Just because my self-esteem is higher then yours does not mean I care about the green dots below my name. Not at all. Green dots is nothing but a lame attempt of e-peen. I say lame because:

1) it means nothing, since you can just have your best friends rate you up every chance they get.
2) e-peen won't buy you anything in real life. Being proud of your green dots is just fucking pathetic.

STOP ABUSING THE BOLD

 

[jamal]

Must have hit you at the wrong time of the month arcette. There is no response to this, because I was right.

A for effort though. Had I not rate-downed you yesterday I'd rate you up for the attempt.

 

[jamal]

Thus the title.



This is so true. It gets very irritating after a while when its the same condescending bullshit over and over. Oh well. I think Uzor nailed it right on the head with those two posts. I didn't have to make the post, just felt I should.

And the best way to handle this is by... making a public scene about it? That seems the opposite to what you're saying. If you don't wanna deal w/ him why make a topic you know he'll see and reply to? *shrugs* Your call I reckon.

You forgot to respond to this one chief. Adding this because you seem to want to bring in real life.

It also validates everything I've been saying since you became a mod. You obviously still did hold a grudge. I can be a user and hold a grudge, you can't moderate fairly while holding a grudge.

My rate-down of you was caused by Miros. Plain and simple. Read the thread. I THANKED him when it was changed. I disagreed when it was wrong.

Do you have the date on that PM arcypoo? You have to admit, it took you 4 months of saving a PM to post one thing I've said to you...in which you call me hypocritical in something that wasn't related to you...you were a pawn.

Yea I care about the e-peen bar...so what? I've never said I expect to get laid because of it. Matt pointed out the truth in his post...this thread does nothing. We're at odds with eachother, always will be. People who support you will support you. People who support me will support me.

Now, as for the thread title. This has implications for real life. I'm a Network Administrator and the only IT department for a 40M dollar company that's looking at expansion to 80M in the next 6 years. I live 2 miles from the beach. I have friends, coworkers I hang out with, and a pretty substantial bank account.

Rate-ups aren't all I have...I don't base my self-worth on what people agree with me on this forum. I do base my self-worth on this forum because of how may people agree with me though. There's a huge difference...and I think you're the one that needs to grow up and see it.

One more note, since the moderator writing this seems to have forgotten there was a thread on the e-peen open in support and feedback (the proper place to discuss)...here's what you may have missed arcypoo:

I've seen a couple of 500+ point jumps in one night. I'm not accusing here, but the only logical explanation would be Miros rate ups being worth that much because of his hacked rep...which obviously doesn't make sense.

I work hard for my rep! ;_;

I work hard for my rep! ;_;

Then show your actually rep and not a hacked one. It's fine as long as your hacked rep doesn't affect the boards, but I have two examples where it's not.

Don't take it personally, I'm just doing my job:

Don't change too much. Who will keep me in line? D:

I'm just curious, because I've yet to find what Arc said a few days ago that was so groundbreaking he leapfrogged Fell and Will and bumped Fellina from the top 10, and bypassing Will by 500 points...

There were two I believe. Rappa's is to get him closer to the moogle to make sure it works correctly.

Arc's is because I think he's doing a good job and is from me to him.

Both are staying.

This is where Arc’s ratedown occurred. Natural Progression…as I said, you were a pawn.

Jeepers, so I neglected to change them back to what they should be. Throw a bone. ;p

I'll change em when I get back from divin,

I had asked nicely for it to be changed. You denied my request, which was a respectable request. When you did that, I had to bring in more reasoning.

Contrary to your thought, I do think out everything before posting. I just don't reveal my entire hand until needed.

The rep was then fixed, and I said thank you.

Thanks boss

No, I got it. Go back and try again. (Hint, it is immediately after that post.)

It also validates everything I've been saying since you became a mod. You obviously still did hold a grudge. I can be a user and hold a grudge, you can't moderate fairly while holding a grudge.

I'm pretty sure I've demonstrated that I can. Hell, I was pleased that I didn't have to do anything with you; Miros is your go to guy, not myself. I suppose if anything, I am bias for you in that regard.

My rate-down of you was caused by Miros. Plain and simple. Read the thread. I THANKED him when it was changed. I disagreed when it was wrong.

Pretty sure that still doesn't change the fact it was not my choice.

Do you have the date on that PM arcypoo? You have to admit, it took you 4 months of saving a PM to post one thing I've said to you...in which you call me hypocritical in something that wasn't related to you...you were a pawn.

I do have a date on that PM sweetums. Pretty sure you do too, cause you seem to save everything to use against me at a later date.

Yea I care about the e-peen bar...so what? I've never said I expect to get laid because of it. Matt pointed out the truth in his post...this thread does nothing. We're at odds with each other, always will be. People who support you will support you. People who support me will support me.

Nah, it did something. Think about it.

I'm a poor ass college student with enough to get by. I fail to see your point. I move a thread and become life long enemies with you, how exciting! I hope your friends don't crack a bad joke, you might excommunicate them.

Ah well, like 95% of all flames that lose OP interest, this will die down. I said what I needed to say.

 

[Guyfox]

To the OP, thanks for clearing it up in your original post to me that you really don't give a shit about the adverse effects your posts have on the community. Not giving a shit about how a mod should act towards people is touching. Sure your a person to but for whatever reason you are also a 'leader' on here. You take your flaming personally, instead how bout just professionally getting to the point?

 

[jamal]

No, I got it. Go back and try again. (Hint, it is immediately after that post.)

Nothing there sparky. Hint: You didn't respond to it like I said

I'm pretty sure I've demonstrated that I can. Hell, I was pleased that I didn't have to do anything with you; Miros is your go to guy, not myself. I suppose if anything, I am bias for you in that regard.

I do have a date on that PM sweetums. Pretty sure you do too, cause you seem to save everything to use against me at a later date.

Actually, when we agreed not to be at odds, I dropped all the PMs. I'm not out to get you, you were a pawn in this. Like I said, must be that time of the month schnuckums.

Nah, it did something. Think about it.

Besides letting you bleed out your grief you've been holding in for months and months, there's not much it did.

1. I don't care that you're a college student, just as you shouldn't care about my real life. Thus why you shouldn't implicate in the title "They're all he has". Really, this site means more to you than it does me. Your reputation here has a more significant impact on your college-life than it does mine. So why the fuck the real-life flame there chief?
I'm a diabetic irl, take insulin 2-3 times daily via injection since I was 15 months old. What the fuck are you trying to implicate with that title? Poor poor choice of words. You should have lived and let die...had Miros looked at my suggestion correctly, and realized it was not the rate-up of you that I cared about, but the fact it was for 650 points, we wouldn't have had this discussion.

you 2 need to get together in real life, go to a boxing gym, and duke it out. thats the only real way to solve this dispute.

So do you just not like Jamal because he points out everything you do wrong since you came to power?

You guys are a freshly married couple.

Green/Blue dots. Are they really that important?
