Omega's moderation policy

Is now that of a petulant manchild. He blusters, threatens and simply deletes posts he can’t cogently reply to if he finds them slightly mocking even in a YMAS thread.

Fix it.

Somehow your shenanigans were the only ones that got moved, despite many other posters arguing with, disagreeing with, and or making fun of Omega in that same thread. I read your posts and found them pedestrian and unfunny. You have committed the capital offense of boring me and so no action will be taken upon your behalf. Next time, be funnier.

I wasn’t asking your opinion, noob.

I don’t respect the policies or opinions of any of the moderators, or for that matter, the opinions of any other member of the website I haven’t personally wanted to meet.

OK that isn’t entirely true, but it is mostly true.

this describes all of the men and half of the women on this site.

[ItIsFake]Yes. I included myself. No. I won’t say which ones. [/ItIsFake]

They’re deleted from the thread in which they are intended as comment. You are abusing your moderator powers because you’ve become too bad-tempered, impatient and self-important to simply ignore a post you can’t or don’t want to respond to.

The majority of your own posts in the thread are brief insults intermingled with expressing exasperation that people asking straightforward questions of you don’t already know the answers.

You are turning into a brusque Emo.

This subject has come up in the past. The fact is Omega is a mod and if he feels you are trolling he can move your posts. Only way that’s going to stop is if he gets banned from the site or Phrost decides he shouldn’t be a mod anymore.

I do have a site policy idea for these types of situations: If a moderator and regular member are having a dispute/flame war/shouting match/etc, have a different moderator review the thread and make the call on what should be moved to trollshido and what stays. That will stop the calling of foul play and abuse and clean up the thread at the same time.

Well, Phrost needs to have that conversation with him then, because this is unacceptable behaviour.

Omega uses his own amusement as a guiding principle 100% of the time. It’s actually more consistant than most of the other moderators when you view it that way.

Seconded. Given the rather informal and often tempestuous nature of the mod/user relationship on the site, this sounds like a good course of action.

[QUOTE=Cullion;2609923]Well, Phrost needs to have that conversation with him then, because this is unacceptable behaviour.[/QUOTE]Others have accepted my behavior therefore, by definition, my behavior is acceptable.

I’m still struggling with the idea that it’s possible to abuse one’s moderator powers in a YMAS thread. After all, it’s a YMAS thread.

You seem to be taking the internet seriously Cullion. Maybe if it had been a MABS thread, but YMAS? Surely you don’t expect anyone to take you seriously over this?

Or are you just trolling again?

I like Cullion and like and respect Omega so it’s hard because I don’t want to insult anyone or hurt anyone, but I gotta say, sometimes Omega just might be taking umbrage (when a shrug would do) - and I can’t figure out why. Is Omega being anal or defensive? Or then I go back and read the thread (when sober) carefully it sometimes does make sense. After all, IIF is anal and I’ve learned to respect his efforts. It’s like what Ronin wrote shortly before he got pissed and split, that from now on he was NOT going to tolerate bs and he was going to moderate much harder. It is sometimes a thankless job and open to critics, so I will say, thanks guys for keeping this shit going.

For the record that policy is in place, except I don’t remember getting into a flame war before the separation.

*edit. I’ve actually have had my posts thrown into trollshido by IIF, I don’t remember whining about it but I could be wrong.

You know what? I’m going to use this thread as an opportunity to go on a rant. Then I’m going to attack Cullion personally.

Some of you seem to think that Bullshido is an egalitarian establishment. It’s not. Most of you will miss the significance of this statement.

Long before I became a moderator, it was not uncommon for Phrost and co. to play mean jokes on some posters. Later, the teen BJJ brigade composed of Aesopian, Deadpan Scientist and Shuma Gorath ran amok on the site.

Hell, Phrost put Aeso and Shuma in charge of Advanced Grappling when it was first created (although to be fair to Phrost, Aeso put out a ton of high quality information while he was a moderator. Loved that part, could have done without the teenage dickery that he also participated in). Diehard BJJ nutriders to the core, Shuma and Aeso were total dicks to non BJJ grapplers like Aaron Fields. This has nothing to do with my current rant by the way. What’s above is part of an even older rant.

Ahem, as I was saying, Bullshido is a member driven community. 99% of you are as useless to this site as tits are to a boarhog. The only thing of significance most of you have contributed to this site is the membership fee that enables you to read what I’m writing now.*

Omega has donated quite a bit of his own time and money to this site. He posts technique videos and he gives out quite a bit of technical advice. He has proved his value to this site many times over.

Which brings us back to you Cullion. You got upset that your posts were culled out of an YMAS opinion piece. A YMAS opinion piece.

Am I correct in remembering that you and Omega have had a significant flame war in the past?

I know I recall you trolling up all kinds of drama over on Sociocide. You even drama’d yourself out of a staff position there, didn’t you? I’m beginning to think you enjoy being a shit stirring drama queen sir. What say you?

*Keep in mind that before I became a mod, I was in the same boat. Now I prove my worth by being the site’s junior janitor (IIF is my senior).

Since we’re sharing feelings…

  • Omega and me have a love/hate (but really a love/love) relationship, and he loves it when I bash Kung Fu no matter how much he acts like he’s upset.

  • Phrost is my facebook buddy. He makes me smile sometimes

  • Sirc made me sad when he told me I was dumb for quoting Carl Sagan. Ban him please.

  • Lebell freaks me out sometimes. I picture him as really being the old dude from Family Guy. Make him change his avatar!

  • I’ve never met Lord Asia. Fix this now!

  • Most of the people on this site are fucking useless. Make them stop posting.

This has gotten ridiculously out of hand.
