Since lately I've noticed that Makelith has been a bit more of an ass of late, I wanted to post to the general public of shit he has done... at least to me.
In my opinion Moderators and Admins can have their opinions on topics, and can say what they want to an extent. But are they exempt from the rules of the forum? Does the black red and green names give them the "above the law" status on this forum?
This last post by Makelith was the straw that broke the camel's back in my opinion. Along with his PMs to me on a reported post which I will post here as well.
I honestly had nothing against Makelith till the recent postings that he has done towards members, along with the PMs he sent me when I reported posts.... WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HE ASKED ME TO DO.
in the following PM by this moderator, which I will leave names out of it this is exactly what he/she asked me to do:
This is one post that a moderator posted in regards to posts I felt were baitworthy. The next is Makelith's PM in regards to flamebaiting.
Now when I used the report function, honestly I would say things along the lines of "shit is flamebaiting because "yadda yadda" or "Off topic because of yadda yadda" I honestly wouldn't think that there would really need an explanation or a eloquent speech with me saying please and thank you. I thought the report function was just a feature that was used to give moderators/admins heads up on posts so they could check it out.
NOW getting to the recent post that pissed me the fuck off.

Post #20 is my post and was on a seperate thread while post #22 was Makelith's response to my post. In my opinion if what Makelith said was anyone else he would have at least had his thread moderated or deleted. I.E. Skaw. for an example. But instead when I reported the thread this is what Makelith PMs me in response.

X said:The bait was deleted, but also, so was your response to it. We appreciate users notifying us of misplaced posts but you're not doing us any favors by addressing the fact that its a bait in the thread. Its our job to warn users about their behavior as moderators, not yours. Telling Y that his post was bait, that you will be reporting him.. it doesn't help anything. Its just more unnecessary banter. Leave it to us! =D
Sincerely,
X
This is one post that a moderator posted in regards to posts I felt were baitworthy. The next is Makelith's PM in regards to flamebaiting.
In my opinion if an admin gives you this kind of warning as per FLAMEBAITING and such outside the flameboard. One would think that he would do the same right?Makelith said:Dear jyakotsu,
You have received a warning at FFXI Final Fantasy XI Quetzalcoatl Daily News.
Reason:
-------
Flamebaiting (First Offense/Warning)
This will act as your first offense for flaming and baiting. If it happens much more the infractions system will put you on a read only for 5 days. Please refrain from flaming and baiting outside of the flameboard.
-------
Warnings serve as a reminder to you of the forum's rules, which you are expected to understand and follow.
All the best,
FFXI Final Fantasy XI Quetzalcoatl Daily News

This I was wrong about, and I apologized about. But honestly I didn't think that this was a big deal in regards to letting moderators and admins know of situational problems.Makelith said:Re:Reported post:
You could use a lesson in manners.

In my opinion if a Moderator or admin wants respect or at least wants things to go his/her way its a 2 way street. You don't have any more right than any of us regular members to talk to others this way. If you have a problem with a reported post that was about YOU to begin with, let sneakypants or let any of the other mods look at it. You don't have to be a dick about it like that.Makelith said:Cry me a river. Seriously.
