And for the record, I am *not* the only admin/moderator on this site, nor am I the only one active.
That doesn't strip you down from having to behave appropriately. An administrator that floods in one topic and flames down another - is this the way you think admin should be? You'r the face of the whole site now, act accordingly goddamit. With accepting a coloured nickname you should FORGET the words like "trolling" "flame" "off-topic" and so on. You don't. That's actually a good part of what you do.
but I'm not free to make some light-hearted banter?
You are free. Create a thread and talk whatever you like there. Bringing an existing serious discussion down by dozens of off-topic or flame posts - is what NO ONE should do, not me, nor you. Take this very thread as an example. A threadstarter is much more qualified to be a moderator than you, because instead of leading the other topic away from it's original direction, he created this one.
You're free to have your own opinions, but guess what ... so am I. So is Allit, and Human, and anyone else who wants to post. Buck up and deal with it, or go get another bottle, crawl back into your crib, and shut the fuck up.
It's you who's not OK with my opinions, not me. And as for responsibility - you bear NONE. On this site seraphox tolerates almost everything that may happen. Even if someone starts swearing and mocking each other, whatever strong language may be used. He doesn't do anything and that's what I actually admire a bit about him. But you don't care any responsibility at all. It's not forced on you, and you obviously don't see a point in upholding it yourself, or else you wouldn't act like a net jerk doing whatever you want, while being an admin.
Newsflash asshole, in case you haven't noticed yet, you're a minority.
Minority, majority... I don't fucking care. I'm ME, and I have my opinion. While I'm a minority you can't even come up with a proper arguement to dispute normally, you prefer flaming a thread or leading it to off-topic. it's like "I don't like what this guy is saying that's why I'll start 2-page flame about flowers. Luckily, there's my mind twin that will support the idea!". THAT was just unacceptable behaviour for admin.
Your off-topic here is interesting, but instead of ruining an existing thread with it, you might as well create a separate one. You either didn't think or didn't want, both are sad.
The day I start taking advice on how to properly administer the forum/site from you is the day I hang it up. You're a fine one to quote "proper admin behavior".
No, you won't take advices from anyone, you know everything yourself, right?
I left the posts as they were because splitting them off would have ruined the natural continuity of the thread.
Quote 2 phrases (mine and yours, I belive, from other post), and move the rest posts, as they are off-topic completely. A 30 second operation.
And if I didn't give a damn, I wouldn't have posted in the first place.
You don't give a damn about respecting other people. As if I'm the one to say so, right? Wrong. I respect people I talk to. But you loose respect because of opinions, And I'm - because of actions. You don't like what I'm saying as my personal opinion, and getting mad at me. I'm getting mad at you when instead of protecting your views you start mocking me or making obstacles such as flood or flame.
