Dear jamal,

You have received an infraction at FFXI Final Fantasy XI Quetzalcoatl Daily News.

Reason: Flamebaiting
-------
-.- "dipshits like you" :nono:
-------

This infraction is worth 4 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.

Original Post:

The real problem lies when you say it cannot tank in general which is not true at all. It can tank and it has been proven many times. In order to prove the statement wrong, it doesn't have to be shown that it can tank in all scenarios, just the one which is what has been stated many times.

The real problem lies with dipshits like you derailing a thread that has 0 to do with endgame. When people are talking about RDM being unable to tank, they're not talking about specific endgame fights. This has been said 50 times already. No one cares that you 'can' use RDM to tank certain 4 day pop HNMs, that's not the definition of a tank-class job.
There's no statement to prove wrong here, you and Caerloc are just off on some god-awful tangent to prove something wrong that no one gives a shit about in this thread. Please, for the love of god, stop posting these posts that you are acting like are groundbreaking, when it does NOTHING to the intention of the thread at hand.
I already rerailed the thread once from you and Caerloc, now you're derailing it yet again with the exact same posts.

All the best,
FFXI Final Fantasy XI Quetzalcoatl Daily News

Are you serious? Read the rest of the thread, I showed a ton of patience...AND other parts of the thread were deleted.

Yes I'm fucking serious. You're the 5th person in this thread throwing around comments like that. Patient or not, it doesn't relieve the rules.

Miros, please turn around this bullshit since you're the only mod with brains. Read the threads direction and tell me what is out of line and 'Flamebaiting' about telling someone to stop posting about things the thread is not dealing with over and over again. Eventually I swore once, and this is flamebaiting?

Sweet, I'm off the hook.

"You're the 5th person in this thread throwing around comments like that."

Call me crazy, but wouldn't the operative thing to do then be to move the topic to the Flameboard, rather than punish multiple people because the topic took a turn for the worse? It's not like topics have never been moved in the past for things like this.

No, you just obviously need to spend more time fixing forum permissions...still.

Jamal suggested that as well, but I only figured he was being sarcastic since I did that to his NSFW Raps... where the very nature of some of the posts were flamebaits.

Yes, I could have done that, and actually given the FB some readable material. However, why should I do that when people break the rules in a topic that is still debating mechanics relative to the topic?

Just because 5 people are able to slip their preconceived notions into the mix before the infractions get issued relieves them from the rules? Nah...

Jamal, you got everything you needed in the PMs.

zomg,
Arctyrael public enemy #1.

 

[Arctyrael]

And yea, I edited your thread title because Lavi didn't report the post.

 

[jamal]

Meh, it is a great topic. The controversy is worth keeping it open.

Flamebaiting in its own right...keeping a highly controversial topic open while tossing out infractions left and right, good show.

Jamal, you got everything you needed in the PMs.

zomg,
Arctyrael public enemy #1.

The hell I did, you openly admitted you have a personal vendetta against me...and said you wouldn't respond anymore via PM.

I got temp-banned for calling Morewen a bad RDM, and Legolias a moron. Morewn did the very same thing to me but only got a warning

 

[Arctyrael]

I have a vendetta against you? Is the comment here what you refer to?

You are, by far, the biggest whiner I have ever had the good fortune to talk to. Take it to any number of the other moderators or admins of the site if you have a problem. I really couldn't care any less than I do right now.

Lavi isn't doing anything more than I have seen you do in the past. Good God, this is why I hate trying to moderate anything you post.

The proper points are associated to the proper categories via CmdrFly.

4 points that after 30 days dissolve with no further infractions. It is really nothing to worry about.

As I said though, rules are not relaxed just because you're 'patient.' Despite the contents of the message, calling someone a dipshit, is not putting the thread back on track, even if that was the goal.

PPS: THIS is flamebaiting:

WHM/RDM has access to Utsu? Good to know.

Another rate-up from that post...but who's counting. God I wish I was wrong sometimes, so you all could have validation in fucking with me.

Because e-penery is such a claim to fame I almost forgot to bow down to your graciousness. Honestly, shut the hell up... I'll rate you up for the post if it makes you smile even more...

People rate-up when they see something they like. It has nothing to do with e-peenery. You're 'punishing' me for something that everyone was thinking but no one said.

Har har... the rulz r maed b-koz peeple liek m3!

They were thinking it, but you posted it. You broke the rules, they did not. Is your simple mind really so single tracked that you're making this into a popularity contest? This has nothing to do with if I like you, because clearly, I strongly dislike you. You have sent me ~10 PMs in regards to 1 warning, that will expire in 30 days... You can accumulate two before anything even happens... Who's exaggerating the issue?

PM me with more spam if you like, but for sure this is the last PM you will get from me in regard to this infraction.

How much I like a person has absolutely nothing to do with how I moderate here. I have given infractions to people I like just as much as I have given infractions to people I don't like. I have defended people I don't like when the 'status quo' users of QCDN find it necessary to belittle. Especially when the bandwagon trolls finds it ok to jump on people with ideas and thoughts quite different to said status quo.

You care so much about perfection, your dearly beloved reputation, and you think you can do no wrong. My god, you broke the rules, I gave you a slap on the wrist, and you've had quite an extensive discussion over it with me... Now you take it to general public...

There's the proof guys, me saying I have a V for Vendetta against Jamal. His name is so pink I don't know what to do.

Arc, you don't have to spell it out to me. You said you disliked me there, and moderated my sig earlier this week for again retarded reasons. Dial-up users I believe was the tone...which meant I had to change a 3-lined Spoiler into one spoiler, which is ok, despite the fact the images still load underneath.

Now, when making a DECENT point in a post, you moderate it, slapping your mod-hand around when its not needed. How about a post in there to Lavi or Caerloc telling them to stick to the point of the thread. You let THEM deteriorate an honestly good discussion, and when it came time to hand out the lashings, you took it out on me for responding to stupidity.

 

[Arctyrael]

Would all the people who have had me contact them about their sig please make a post? Jamal, judge, jury, and executioner thinks it is all about him.

As I said, everyone that participated in the shitting, got their warning.

 

[Arctyrael]

Dial up users was A point... A POINT that I also said you were CORRECT on... Nice of you to exclude my comment about height as well.

The images do load under the spoilers. My point was invalid. You're correct. You also had around 6-7" of sig on 1280x1024 resolution.

 

[jamal]

Don't see that in the rulebook. I've talked to one of the other people, out of 3...

Meanwhile, while you dipshits were thinking about this, there was a blowup for not granting forum access for two weeks.

 

[Arctyrael]

I don't think it needs to be said that if you reverse a moderator's action you're breaking rules.
Surely moderator discretion has been discussed on the site more than enough times anyways.

There was no profanity in the title whatsoever. By changing it to what you did, you're doing the same thing to me that I did by including Lavi.

Its not a rule, so you can't enforce. Once again, personal vendetta taking precedence.

 

[Arctyrael]

My bad, forgot about my personal vendetta. Let me lock this topic, hide it, and ban you.

 

[jamal]

You're not the only one, I promise. *.jpg do load in the spoilers, so you're absolutely right. Size is the largest concern... no pun intended.

If you see anyone with sig's in excess of the guidelines, report them. You're the 3rd person I have messaged, and if I see more stalking the boards, I'll message them too.

Thanks,
Arc

Funny, I don't come up with numbers out of thin air. I can bold things too.

Even if it is 7....7 whole people....and what a waste of fucking time to do so while you could have been doing something worthwhile.

 

[Bajaratt]

Eh, I got the same E-mail for telling hellstorm to shut the fuck up because he's a brain-dead moron(not in those words, but that was the gist of it). It was listed as flamebaiting, even though it technically would be flaming if you'd call it that, and what he was doing was flamebaiting(saying dumb shit like that is just asking to get insulted for your stupidity).

 

[Willian]

I got more rate ups for my sig than any other post I've made. Rate ups = quality posting = more interest = more bandwidth = better site. Therefore, losing my sig means the site gets worse.
