The "I have a gripe with Ivan thread"

Ivan

I'd just like to say, if anyone has a problem with my moderating of carlow IT please say here now.

If enough people say "Yes" I'll step down and someone else can take it.

Hopefully this will prevent any further badgering about my Modding skillz or else get ye a more suitable moderator.

seanos

Yes,
My main problem is that your not strict enough, we wanted Stalin, and we got Mussolini.

UnrealQueen

My gripe is that you alwayz lock my threads saying there irrelevant to the college. I recently posted 2: "What exam are you currently missing?" and "What do you hope to do when you leave the college?"

How are they irrelevant to the college. College is about exams and people go there to go to classes and hopefully pass exams and then leave to go on to something better.

Step down and bring Mordeth back.

Mordeth doesnt want to be moderator anymore. He's been scared away by the incessant spamming/abuse he received.

Its not just about a thread being irrelevant, its just not worthy of a discussion on these boards. What is the point of talking about them other than for the sake of talking about them?

This is hopefully the last time I'll have to say this but :

People wear shoes.

People in college wear shoes.

Wow, shoes are relevant to college!

Lets talk about this?!! *

* Please note this is sarcasm, the first person to start a thread about shoes in college will be banned.

Boards is not a playground where everyone posts about how they went to college today or didnt, or what lab they are in etc. etc.

Its about things related to carlow that isnt just pure crap.

Again, this reflects the opinions (and actions) of me, Ivan the moderator. If anyone disagrees (although I'd hope most would agree) please discuss it with an admin.

UnrealQueen

If we can't post threads on what we do in the college (exams and classes) what should we post about. The architecture maybe?

yes i think the library is built very well. It has good solid walls and a carpeted floor. It also has a big load of interesting books and computers. etc

should we not be able to talk about what we want like wat people are going to do when their finish or are we going to be limited to what the mods wanna talk about all the time...

i_am_dogboy

I think the topics would go down a bit better if they werent turned into complete tripe or conversations between two people who are probably sitting beside each other. We aren't limited to what the mod's want to talk about either, we're just not subjected to crap that nobody but the posters want to see, ivan and tom are doing the right thing.

Ps, we don't want to hear what lecturers you fall asleep thinking about.

Ivan

I think I_am_Dogboy sums up my position entirely.

UnrealQueen

Excuse me dogboy, but you can hardly give out about my threads when you posted on them.

Ivan

Excuse me, but at what point do people waive their right to complain about someones thread simply by posting on them and more to the point, where does he complain about your thread.

Stop jumping down peoples throats and give them a chance to speak.

I am getting incredibly close to permanently banning you, Unrealqueen.

Thats where.

hi all
i know ive nothing to do with carlow It
but im a big fan of unrealqueen and am wondering why her posts keep getting locked when she actually posts relevant material

can anyone tell me?

Ivan

Cos she's an attention whore, who cant stop posting for five minutes. Who, if left unchecked would bring Boards servers to their knees?

Please tell me your being sarcastic, bribed or blind?

OOh i can't believe you said that. Be careful Ivan, your going somewhere now there's no coming back from.

Senor_Fudge

im not being sarcastic nor am i being bribed nor am i blind

i just think unrealqueen is a nice girl and she deserves a bit of a break when a break is due
how about it Ivan?

Only because you've been there and back, I WILL not be harrassed or abused by you any longer.

If you follow the charter rules we should have no reason to communicate at all.

UnrealQueen

Oh Pahleez, abused? harrassed? oh stop my sides are splitting.

So if someone questions ur modding, it's abuse and harrassment. I see.

Ivan

You haven't questioned my modding.

You bitched, whined, prodded, poked, complained, moaned and sulked about my modding.

You did everything BUT the right thing, which is to complain on feedback/suggestions or pm an admin.

Your attempts at constantly discussing my modding is not desired, not wanted.

Your incessant nagging, your constantly putting words in my mouth.

Just stop discussing anything with me. The only time you need communicate with me is the next time you warrant me giving you your permanent banishment*

I dont think I can make it any clearer than that.

Just stop!

Cease and desist.

Hopefully this will be the last time I succumb to your trolling.

I cant believe I've let it go this far.

Consider yourself added to my ignore list (except when posting to Carlow IT)

Goodbye.




* No, this is not a threat, its not meant to imply I'm out to get you. Its a warning, meaning quite simply : Next time you put a foot wrong, your banned permanently.

Senor_Fudge

must be that time of the month for ivan :rolleyes:

To be honest i don't really have much of a problem with Ivans mod skills (if thats what you can call them)

But i do think that UnrealQueen does have a point when she says that these threads on tests and classes are apart of college and so there fore they should be allowed. You keep saying it yourself Ivan that we should stick to things about the college...... well tests and classes are pretty much the core things in college so, by your own rules, they should be allowed. Even if it is about which ones your missing.

For some of us this is the only way for us to talk to each other cause UnrealQueen and You, Ivan don't really know what i look like so we can't really meet up in the pub to talk about things like you said we should.

Use IRC for the rubbish threads and conversations. or MSN or something. Ivan's right and until an Admin disagrees with him his word is law, or something.

Welcome to dimocracy, Freedom of speech.

And if his words are law then UnrealQueen has broken none in the fact that she has talked about college.

And since a lot of people seem to put this up, no i have not been bribed or blackmailed, in fact UnrealQueen doesn't even know what i look like.:p

Yes but it has to have relevance to the forum

Mods usually make common sense decisions about what they deem suitable for the forum they take care of. Ivan has stated his thoughts on the way UnrealQueen posts. Deal with it or take it up with the Admins.

Headcase

i find threads on what people intend to do when they finish college, relevant and interesting. threads on exams and classes, relevant, but threads on missing classes or exams are a waste of time.

and in relation to the thread on what lectures people fancy, why didn't you close it Ivan instead of responding to it!

seanos

freedom of speech doesn't exist firstly, it's a nice idea, or something to make people feel like they have a voice, and their opinion actually counts for something.

now as strange and foreign as this sounds .... I agree with Ivan 100% on everything he has said /in this thread/.

if you want to talk about the coldness in carlow, or how colours are great .... do it on irc - thats the place for it [btw, if I see anyone talking such crap on irc ... *kick*]

sometimes useful information is posted here [rare as it is], and I'd prefer to not have to read 10 threads filled with purile crap, to find /maybe/ one posting which is useful/relates to me ... or something I remotely care about.

Senor_Fudge : Very nice, sticking up for someone who stuck up for you about being an asshole of a drunk ... debt repayed, congrats.

Since new mods were picked, this board is actually worth reading again - and visiting the odd time, Although said before in a sarcastic manner ... I think if anything Ivan/Tom are too easy on people here ...

Kain

OK even i can see how off topic this has gone.

So for my point, i don't have a problem with Ivans moderating, But i don't think that UnrealQueen should be banned for her posted.
