To avoid stretching this discussion out on another topic, this thread is picking up from the discussion on:
https://www.jkdf2.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=774
Continuing on the topic of poor leadership, shit talking, and lack of actual gameplay in #jk.
This discussion was initiated by scott's post, which I firmly agree with:
https://www.jkdf2.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4617#4617
My reply to scott's last post on that thread:
what is it that you suggest we do? start another room? go back to holonet?
and Beefcaike only cares about keeping "his" room active, whether it is with shit talking, or jenny talking about shooting heroin into her cooch.
Agreed...
I don't think anyone wants to go back to holonet, I advocated strongly for the move to ZiRC and will stick with it - unless a better suited server shows up.
Starting another room would be the best course of action - but I have strong reasons for not wanting to, although it would be the best solution.
I have always strongly backed BeefCaike's #jk from the beginning - I have seen a number of attempts to create a new channel that have failed simply because they were created for the wrong reasons
Beef is a good guy - but I have lost faith in his leadership skills, ever since it became clear he wasn't making choices that were in the JK communities best interests, and more alarmingly, not conducive to continued gaming.
Since I initiated a lengthy discussion with BeefCaike regarding the poor state of moderation in #jk - it ended with BeefCaike standing off and simply saying something somewhat useless along the lines of "they will be warned" and refused to respond to my inquires as to if any action would ever be taken to clean up the moderation problem.
I would like to speak to BeefCaike again - as I would like to talk with him to see if there is another way to resolve this without creating a new channel.
Now this really left me perplexed: Phelan, Newbish, and tymerz were made ops shortly after I spoke with BeefCaike. Anybody who isn't a weed addict can recognize that this was a very poor decision. I need not launch into my reasons for regarding this as a very bad decision - it should be self explanitory...
I have no idea what Beef was thinking, perhaps he was trying to make a statement to me in some manner... Seems the most logical explanation, as Phelan, Newbish, and tymerz were probably near the worst possible people he could choose for ops.

i keep the channel in check, otherwise flamers like smoke and spidey just flood, as for you ret, if you think anyone does anything on the internet to you because of a personal vendetta you are seriously a sad little boy and need to realize you are a waste of space and noone would bat an eyelash if you disappeared forever. grow up and stop crying, you are nothing but an emotional little bitch who takes this shit way too seriously.
Beefcaike oped tymerzz because he gave Beefcaike admin on his CS:S server, which doesn't have anything to do with #jk and he obviously oped DSbr so they will keep coming to his channel.. kind of idiotic really (nothing against DSbr) but he clearly only cares about how many people come to his room for random chit-chat rather than how many people come for JK..
if you decide to create a new room for JK, i back you up. π

Another thing I would like to say
I have always supported #jk - I'm always telling people who email, AIM, MSN with me to get on irc - because an active forum is one thing - but first and foremost the chatting and gaming is what makes up the heart of Jedi Knight.
So, hopefully, BeefCaike will be willing to do something to deal with the current issues...
Also I want to make this clear:
I desire no position of moderation in a "new" JK channel

lol you do realize the irony of that? Both smoke and spidey are ops just like you. The fact that you yourself say this confirms the internal conflict among ops. π
as for you ret, if you think anyone does anything on the internet to you because of a personal vendetta you are seriously a sad little boy and need to realize you are a waste of space and noone would bat an eyelash if you disappeared forever. grow up and stop crying, you are nothing but an emotional little b**** who takes this shit way too seriously.
You must be misunderstanding me - or maybe you didn't bother to read what I wrote.
- I never once implied that there was a vendetta of any sort against me
- You go on to claim that I would be a "sad little boy", "waste of space" and that people would be indifferent if I left the JK scene. These seem like very immature and unreasonable statements to make - unwarrented and irrelevent to this line of discussion.
Emotional? No. Do I take this game too seriously? Maybe more than other people, but not to a degree that you imply. I do invest a good deal of time and money into the game, so yes, I do take the game more seriously than others.
"grow up and stop crying" - What are you implying? I made my thoughts and opinions very clear and I do believe that if you read them you would understand I made valid points that should be taken into consideration and already it has been established I am not the only person who has concerns about the path #jk has taken and how it continuing down this path could prove to be detrimental to the general JK community.

in my opinion, severen did a way better job as a moderater, he didn't op complete retards who randomly boot/devoice people, and he banned people like "orbital" who do nothing but talk shit to people and spam stupid crap.
i never supported #jk, because it was made for the wrong reasons.. despite what you may think about severen, he kept his room in order.

I agree that severen's moderation was far better than Beef's - but the creation of #jk was warranted, (as I recall) in many cases severen was moderating as he pleased - not in a manner healthy to the JK community - I recall one instance when severen banned BeefCaike as he started to promote #jk - I don't know if severen had a logical reason for this, like maybe he was flooding or disrupting chat in some manner - but as I recall it was unnessecary for severen to do so and there were similar instances where severen was kickbanning people unnessecarily.

ReT
are you saying that beefcaike and his "mods" don't abuse their ops and kick/ban/devoice people for no real reasons?
and beefcaike promoting #jk in severens room was only going to tear the community apart... which it did, and now we're stuck with egotistical assholes as moderators.
but i don't care anymore, i'm probaly going to stop coming to IRC for JK soon anway, it's not fun to me anymore.

No not at all - I agree, the moderation abuse in #jk is quite widespread

#jk has existed quite nicely - up until the last couple months, where(I hate to generalize but it's true) - A number of DSbr members (and a few others) have dominated #jk discussion with their "shit talking" (I can't think of a better term) - BeefCaike's general incompitence regarding moderation abuse has been tolerable - but then he starts appointing additional unnessecary moderators that add to the problem? That's no good

i ban only kirby orbital smoke and spidey, tell me which one of those dont deserve to be banned on a regular basis scott
. who cares.. ur not gonna get anything different.. its how it is.. and how it will always be.. get over it dude..
formal jk complaint, hahaha. are you serious?
*phelan, newbish and tymerz have been opped for a while so I doubt it was done to intentionally upset you ret.
*there is also no need to completely pick apart peoples posts and address every single pointless insult they throw at you.
*scott you are one of my favourite people in #jk but why are you suddenly complaining about the s-hit talking when you're one of the people contributing to alot of it? I find it funny to type mean internet words to impressionable idiots, I thought you did too π I mean, its all just a harmless joke, right?
*back to ret, it's funny that you should condemn and judge others for poor moderation/banning etc. I seem to recall being banned from this very forum simply by association with particular dsbr members. I remember being in irc one day and jokingly saying to newbish "gee, perhaps now ret should ban me from his board also" to which you replied "thats right bitch". And dont even try to bring up multiple accounts as a valid argument because I didn't do that until after you had banned me.
lol you judge all these guys about abusing moderator powers yet I have seen you state (quite proudly) numerous times around here how you have *eliminated* your jk competition.
And yeah, there are too many mods in #jk and having so many of them is pointless and people do abuse their powers, but my point is that its usually just in a fun and joking manner, unlike the manner I have seen you demonstrate on this forum. Seriously, if another jk channel is created, I hope for everyones sake that you are never given ops. Why? Because you moderate based on your own personal interests and not in the best interests of everyone else.

I love the double standard he has here.
(REGARDING THIS CURRENT THREAD, NOT THE ONE I JUST MENTIONED) Ret, if you'll notice, there was another topic currently discussing all these issues, try to pay attention buddy and not clutter up the board, thx?
LoL C-ya wouldn't wanna be ya.
please dont ban me again
*phelan, newbish and tymerz have been opped for a while so I doubt it was done to intentionally upset you ret.
Did you read my reasons for believing so? I clearly stated that it was shortly after I spoke with BeefCaike about the issue. The length of time they have been ops for has no bearing on this - it's why and when they were made ops.
*there is also no need to completely pick apart peoples posts and address every single pointless insult they throw at you.
It's more fun to rip people's posts to pieces. π

You began registering multiple accounts before I banned your initial account. If I had banned you before you had begun to register additional accounts, I would have IP banned you to prevent you from registering additional accounts.
lol you judge all these guys about abusing moderator powers yet I have seen you state (quite proudly) numerous times around here how you have *eliminated* your jk competition.
Eliminated? There was no elimination. All other attempts simply fell apart because they were all by idiots who did it because they didn't like me.
And yeah, there are too many mods in #jk and having so many of them is pointless and people do abuse their powers, but my point is that its usually just in a fun and joking manner, unlike the manner I have seen you demonstrate on this forum.
What manner is that? And you aren't around very often so you would not be aware of the extent to which the moderation abuse has gone.
Seriously, if another jk channel is created, I hope for everyones sake that you are never given ops. Why? Because you moderate based on your own personal interests and not in the best interests of everyone else.
First I would like a real example of a decision I made in my personal best interests. You are pulling this crap out of nowhere with absolutely nothing to substantiate it. Secondly I do not desire operator status in a JK IRC channel, as I have already stated in this thread.

What are you talking about? Phelan started a new thread for no reason when the exact same topic was being discussed in another thread, not me. Maybe if you had been paying attention you would have noticed that? Your literary skills are impaired perhaps? Or are you just confused and unable to put your thoughts into words? Because what you said made absolutely no sense.
And no, you will not be banned SubZero nor will anyone else unless they do something like Spam or register additional accounts as both things are disruptive to the forum.
Peace out. π
