since this past few days (with all the "wrong" threads and stuff...which mostly were moderated correctly) I think mods are taking things a bit to serious.

Even a fun (good running) thread with no harm to anyone or anything is getting closed and deleted.

Is threedy becoming dull?
Overmoderated?
A place where people will be scared to start a new thread because it may have a subject one of the mods doesn't like?
A too serious place where fun is out of the question?

the forum is for the members...and if the members don't fight with eachother but just have fun together...i don't see any point in closing a thread. That's just silly!
If we can't even have fun with eachother this place will turn out to be a boring forum.
I completely understand the mods trying to make this a good place, but this is just not the way IMO.
it's off-topic....so almost anything fits(except for the guidelines as race, religion, political stuff)! And I think that's this is just a way to create anger or disrespect for the mods.

why not making a thread where you have to ask if your idea of a thread is being accepted?
or why not close this whole forum instead?


and pelase...don't close this thread immediately, so you can get some responses from other members to.
Maybe you'll see that this is just being an ass (sorry, not to be taken too serious)

This thread has been moved to a more suitable forum, feel free to discuss amongst yourselves about what you think about be done/changed/modified in the offtopic forum.

But a friendly warning, any attack or malicious comments towards any of the moderators will result in this thread being closed.

Thanks,
Dan

is saying partypooper to someone an attack?
(even when this was the right word to use at that time)

[Daniel]

I'm not refferring to you EF, only using past incidents as a point of reference.

[Ferry P]

then why is the "you cvan stop acting cool when...." thread closed/ deleted?

and btw...I don;t think many people visit this part of the forum...so we will not get many replies.

[Chris-3DT]

Yes. Try http://thesaurus.reference.com/ for appropriate synonyms.

[Ferry P]

well...that is a site i won;t visit again...

[Ferry P]

and banning sabaman for saying things that are just true but won't be accepted by chris is not helping to do the forum any good!

sure EF_studios thread was a flood of useless and progressively more obscene posts. it probably did deserve to be closed, but it gave me an idea: how about none of the posts in the Off-Topic forum count towards a members post count?

[Jason-Lavoie]

Holy crap Olympus, thats.. BRILLIANT, man if the mods don't do this, i will cry, alot.

Man, I can't belive no one has thought about that, or posted it, wow.

what in the world has your postcount to do with this?
who cares if you have 34873763 posts or just 2?

and something else...i think jokes can be a bit obscene as long as it's funny...we don't post things like that to point fingers at anyone...just to have a laugh.

On behalf of the moderators and the members of threedy forums Sabaman and Ef_studios were banned for 7 days each.

They can send an informal request for this ban to be lifted on Sunday, October 24th. This is done following a suggestion made by the members to ban for certain periods of time instead of permanent bans.
Neither of them is expected to beg for the ban to be lifted, as I said an informal email will do.

As for the reasons:
Sabaman was banned because he continued to open threads for the sole reason of taking a a stab at the forum moderation.

EF_Studios was banned for the same reason. Plus openly opposing a moderator decision instead of taking it to email or PM like he should. (He did send PM's, but he did not stop acting up on the forums)

7 days off will hopefully give them some time to think about it and to cool down. Afterwards they can return without having to expect any reproach.

[Chris-3DT]

Olympus, it's a nice idea thanks for the suggestion. I'm afraid though it can't be done. Sorry.

I feel however that not the symptom should be adressed but the source of the problem.

There are enough free open chat rooms on the intert, which can be used for the sort of conversation sabaman and ef_studios were having without flooding forums, wasting bandwith and webspace or in ither words money.

[Jason-Lavoie]

Hmm, I gues there using the ban now, well, since I have been here, I have only seen, like 1 person banned, that I know of, so it HAS begon.

Do i agree with it, not entirly, but I know that it was for the best, slap these spammers in the face, ha ha JK.

Lets just say now, that Threedy is seriouse, and I am glad.

Have a good day Chris or night, or afternoon.

Well keep on going mods. Too bad EF is banned but he'll be back so
