This is actually kind of BS. Its one thing to not tell us why this has happened and quite another that Bebble is not given an explanation. sounds hinkey to me.

Not sure whats going on....I think beeble got a bad rap about some stupid BS when all he was doing was trying to help. As always someone asks for help and god forbid there dealings dong go smooth as glass....its someone elses fault. Anyway I thought Beeble did a great job...at least he will still be with us on the boards. IF YOUR ONLINE WATCH FOR SCAMMERS...ITS NOBODYS JOB BUT YOURS. REMEMBER YOU HAVE A 50 50 CHANCE.....IF YOUR NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THOSE ODDS....DONT PLAY. You wouldnt tell the casino to give you back your money if you lost at blackjack... we decide which risks we want to take and we alone deal with the consequence if things dont work out. Stepping down off my soapbox :D
Sorry to hear it Beeble, i thought you were doing a great job, because i know how much i hate the BS from some assholes on here, and i thought he kept em in check very well..
Sorry Beebs, ill burn one for ya bro.

Beebs, as long as you are around to hand down the wonderful words of wisdom and knowledge that you ALWAYS do, I'll be happy. Just wait and see how quickly the boards get out of control without you, though!!! Miss you as a mod, and anxiously await your return!

The lamest part of all is that this thread was started with no explanation as to why Beeble is no longer a mod. Like we're not going to ask questions....yeah, right!! :rolleyes: And, as usual, even though Ron has visited today, our questions remain unanswered. I'll just chalk this up to the third question I've asked Ron in the past 4 or 5 monthes that has been ignored.
Oooooh, control, how well it's being used.
I just want to say thanks to Ron and ALL the Mods for their wonderful efforts regarding this site and these boards.
Beeble is clearly exhibiting his typical even handed and realistic attitude in his post regarding Ron's decision.
I have enjoyed Beeble's comments and link refferals and hope he will resume Mod duties when asked.
Love you Beeble .. mean it.
regards,
Max Blast
I'm beginning to think "temporary" is a bit optimistic. Ron's wording suggests this is to be only a temporary break, but his failure to explain the precise nature of the problem he has with my moderation style suggests otherwise, since I can't be expected to correct the "problem" unless I know what it is. Perhaps he is only taking time to carefully consider all the options and decide how best to explain things. I don't know. All I or any of us can do at this point is to wait.Quote:

You'll kindly show me where I called you a scammer. A link to the thread in question is sufficient. Thanks.Quote:

If Ron says it's temporary, we should trust that it's temporary until otherwise stated by him. When/If you never become a mod again, we'll know Ron for the lying scoundrel he's always been!!! ;);)Quote:

He could've just said "Beeble's no longer a mod and never again will be. Nothing serious, just issues with his moderation style conflict with how I'd like my site moderated."
Maybe he's just taking his time so he can make a list of things you need to change. Or maybe he's just taking his time so that you'll float around forever pondering the things you may or may have not done wrong, so that when he makes you moderator again, you'll be super self-concious for fear of losing your powers again.
Either way, have faith in the ronman.
change your av man unless thats you its grossQuote:

Eventually, I'm going to say "fuck it" and go elsewhere. Maybe that's what he wants. Whatever. Either way. Plenty of other message boards out there.Quote:

Yes, Ron removed it. He said he felt it was a bit too authoritarian. I had no problem with that. I thought it was needed to address an increasing problem here and he felt otherwise. I don't care to speculate publicly whether this precipitated his decision to remove me from moderation duties, although I cannot imagine why it would be an issue. As always, I was and am perfectly willing to defer to him as the final arbiter of any and all decisions to be made here, and I said as much to him, more than once.Quote:

The sticky was meant to stop them from being posted in the first place.
Merely pondering.
hey duppy man i'm ready to speak now. if beeble called you a scammer he had reason, but i doubt it ever happened. i'm still waiting to see that link.
I think it was Zandor who called you and Penguin and someone else a scammer.Quote:

i think im going to like this side of beeble more..
if you all thought he could be bitterly sarcastic before, watch out!
A few more details / clarifications for folks following this thread ...
While I felt it would have been better for beeblebrox.420 to post a brief comment indicating he was going on break - he instead insisted I post this thread, which I did reluctantly for I knew where it was going to lead; more questions and pondering leading to incorrect conclusions, hurt feelings, etc.
In multiple PMs to beeblebrox.420 I explained what the reasoning was for my decision; he should simply take a break for awhile - to be clear, for folks reading this thread, beeblebrox.420 didn't do anything wrong per se.
I just sent beeblebrox.420 another PM a few moments ago ... after reading it, he may agree with me afterall :)

Basically beeble is off mod duty right now.. for whatever reason, its obvious your not going to tell, or you dont really have a specific reason. Either way.. By break, do you mean it is not, or it is a permanent.. demotion for lack of better terms. If its not permanent, what kind of time frame were you thinking of keeping him off mod duty.. ie: days weeks months.. you get the gist, just a ballpark. Basically.. is he going to be a mod again and when. I think our minds, and beebles alike (unless he lready knows) deserve at least that must rest, dont you think?
I truly believed my recent PM, which included very specific information, to beeblebrox.420 would have straightened things out, but to my surprise it didn't - I won't go into the details of what was said, beyond saying his response further reenforces my decision that he needed a break; now likely to be an indefinitely one :(
Ron
That's bullshit. Here's the "very specific" information you PMmed to me:
and here is my (admittedly irritated) reply:Quote:

I don't need a nursemaid. I said I wasn't getting frustrated or stressed out by my activities as a moderator here. I told you this repeatedly. Why you chose not to believe me when I told you that is not clear to me. You do not know me well enough to determine whether I am actually frustrated or stressed out or not. The fact is, your decision to suspend my moderator status caused every last bit of stress and frustration I am currently experiencing related to this board. This bears repeating: YOU caused the very problem you claim you were trying to solve. Is that really what you wanted to do? Yesterday, I told you I wasn't angry about your decision and that was true at the time, but after thinking about it - and reading some of the many replies in the announcement thread - I'm a bit angry now. I have the distinct feeling you're peeing on my head and telling me it's raining. I'm not stupid.
Whatever. Clearly, you are not going to listen to me. You think you know better than I what I need, so you do what you gotta do.
Don't take my words at another message board out of context. You don't know my history there, nor are you aware of my personal situation leading up to the time I left there.
I'm not a petty person, and despite my anger I bear you no ill will. Nevertheless, I won't likely feel the same about this place again, whether you reinstate me or not. Which is really too bad. I liked it here and I enjoyed both participating and moderating. So, thanks. Thanks a lot.
Wow, my gut feeling was more right than I ever knew - your post basically sums it up :(
With that said ... relax, I'm not going to ban anyone - call me names, etc if that makes you feel better ... hate to end on a downer ... despite the events of late, you have been a big help to many folks by educating them with much useful and worthwhile information.
Ron
there was two Mice who Lived together Ones Name was In and the Others name was out.
and every time in was out out was in.
and everytime in was in out was out.
oneday Out came home and In was Dead.
Do you Know How Out Knew In was Dead.?.
In.stinked...:D...
Ron reminds me of dumbledore sometimes. Does anyone think dumbledore when they read ron's posts?
OK, this is what I donā??t getā?¦
Bebble was put out to pasture for no reason (per se.)ā?¦???
Then during his ā??breakā? Ron came across a post Beeble made on another site that was not disrespectful in my opinion (assuming what Beeble posted was accurate.) I went to the site and looked for the exact thread but Iā??m too impatient to find it. If Iā??m misrepresenting the situation please set me straight.
Beeble:
ā??Oh, and to explain my fairly lengthy absence: I guess I just need a break. I'd been posting every single day for nearly two years, and after a while one just burns out. Plus, I needed to sort out a few things in my life and do some general personal maintence that I'd been neglecting. Anyway, I am, and always have been, alive and well. I do appreciate the concern, though!ā?
WTF- what am I missing.
This explains nothing (not that Ron has to.) But if you are attempting to give an explanation than give oneā?¦..I feel like my intelligence is being insulted.
Look folks Beebleā??s not coming back. Too bad for usā?¦.
Does Beeble have a chip on his shoulder the size of Manhattenā?¦.fuck yeah he does. Thatā??s why we love him. Itā??s called PERSONALITY. Love it or hate it, hes got one.
I could find a million mods that will play softball all day longā?¦.watching beeble moderate is different. Sometimes itā??s funny other times itā??s just plain ugly but you always pay attention thatā??s all Iā??m saying.
I donā??t mean to disrespect our other moderators they have it tough and they do a fine jobā?¦but to me Beelbe was just different.
Peace~
IMO Ron is the admin, whatever reason he had im sure he had a good one and EVERYONE on these boards should stand by him cos without him there would be no forum, so show some support :)
