Something these forums could REALLY use is... [edit/delete]

Use of power for stupidity: My custom title. No, wait, I'm sorry, my custom title is OBVIOUSLY according to protocol.
In general, you go around labeling people with their custom titles. In several cases, you use it as a form of abuse and attack (village idiot, etc...)
True, I asked for a custom title (as a joke anyways), and you spoofed the request, but why the hell is fucking with someones account like that suddenly good and fine?
Shifting blame: You tried to draw my attention to Phades removal of the OT. Either you were trying to make Phade seem at fault, or just use his action (which wasn't that bad at all anyways) as a scapegoat to say "I'm not as bad as THIS guy".
Gestapo of Immaturity: PERSONALLY, I feel that just by sitting here trying to prove everything I say as being incorrect is just foolish. You could have easily have said "Sorry you feel that way, but we run things the way we see fit". That would have been a more humble way to end this entire conversation.
I'd go on, but I have to go get payed to do something constructive (as you OBVIOUSLY take none of this to heart, so it is ultimately futile). I don't want to continue this, cuz you are just going to keep trying to site here and make yoruself out to be infallible (sp?).

Good god, dude, you're pissed because you got a custom title when you jokingly asked for one? We must stand together against this power abuse!

Be careful what you wish for. You might not quite get it.

The custom title is fine. I asked for it. What about those that didn't? We supposed to say "Well, one person wanted a custom title, so we gave him one, then gave you one that insults you just because."?

Ok, you used the example above of a custom title "the village idiot". I know nothing about this, so I did a quick search, and located a thread talking about this custom title. And low and behold it was implemented when the site was still under Phade's rule!

Doesn't tell who did it. Those others were hidden mods and Admins then. The other admins could have just as easily done it.
At that time, (not very sure, as dates of events on this site have long since escaped me) Phade was the only publicly announced admin. So, of course, at the time, he was the only one people could complain to and about. The others WERE there, they just hid themselves.

Phade did it.

Well, honestly, I thought you we're OK with the custom title, considering the PM you sent me with the smiley face at the end. As you said, it was a joke. If you're actaully not OK with "Spammer Time" PM me and I'll either give you the "Hammer Time" you wanted or remove your custom title all together. Your choice.

Shifting blame: You tried to draw my attention to Phades removal of the OT. Either you were trying to make Phade seem at fault, or just use his action (which wasn't that bad at all anyways) as a scapegoat to say "I'm not as bad as THIS guy".

No. As is clear from the context, I used his removal of Off Topic only to refute your point (since retracted) that Phade only did non-controversial decisions.

Gestapo of Immaturity: PERSONALLY, I feel that just by sitting here trying to prove everything I say as being incorrect is just foolish. You could have easily have said "Sorry you feel that way, but we run things the way we see fit".

Wait, engaging in logical argument with you is "just foolish?" Right.... moving along...

That would have been a more humble way to end this entire conversation.

Excercising power to do a thread smackdown is "humble"?

I'd go on, but I have to go get payed to do something constructive (as you OBVIOUSLY take none of this to heart, so it is ultimately futile).

"Obviously?" What makes it obvious that I don't? If I didn't care about criticism, I'd of locked the thread a long, long time agao. However, taking criticism to heart is far different than leaving baseless ( = without evidence ) accusations unchallenged.

I don't want to continue this, cuz you are just going to keep trying to site here and make yoruself out to be infallible (sp?).

I'm not claiming to be infallible; nor am I claiming the current administration, as a whole, is. A recent example is the sillyness with video snippets, or my killing the org for a few minutes this evening due to an improperly aborted query.

Meh, I see no harm in a edit button. It's pretty standard on all other forums. No edit doesn't make it any hard to NOT put thought in to your post. It only frustrates the ones who would like to correct some mistakes. Frankley I think it rather dumb to have no edit button! But, I don't make the rules ;/

I've noticed this all tends to be the people making the most mistakes in their posts.
HOW COULD THAT BE.
