Because you were being an idiot. Get over it.

You lost your rights because you continually troll and make a nuisance of yourself.

Continue posting these posts, and you will loose ALL your rights.

Btw: he didn't make this thread, i culled it from another topic. Posting questions like this in topics that have nothing to do is one way to never get them back. Thats why you lost em in the first place. Topic derailing

I believe that usergroup makes it so that he can *only* reply to topics, not create new ones.  I would normally agree with the evils of derailing, however he had no choice but to do so.

Yes, but even before he lost his rights, he derailed topics with random shit.

Thanks for telling me and sorry for the trouble.
Anyway I am leaving the forum. But I have a request.
In the future, please give a warning before restricting users' rights and give them a chance.

In the future, don't assume you can be an asshole and get away with it.

You don't get it, do you?
Why do you assume that I try to get away with anything?
Did I receive a warning and continue to be an asshole?
So please instead of attacking me , just try to understand my request.

If you didn't assume you could get away from it, that means you knew you would be punished for doing so.

Warnings are for people whom you think are able to improve their behaviour.
Title: Re: i losted my rites
Post by: Syntac on September 28, 2008, 04:26:34 pm
A lot of people (myself included) gave you enough negative feedback that you should have known to stop being an idiot.

Actually, be a Restricted member is like a warning because you just could have gotten a ban and thats all.
Title: Re: i losted my rites
Post by: Paradox on September 29, 2008, 04:40:27 am
Yes, the purpose of a restricted member IS the warning.

Instead of sending a useless pm saying "Stop now or be banzored", we have a more physical threat. We normally lift it after a week, due to good behavior.

I attacked forks because I thought they would harm tremulous.
I guess, I made the members and fans of the forks angry...
Is the definition of being asshole "attacking a fork that a moderator is a part of"? :D

interesting huh?

Good luck with that kind of forum rules.
Now please be a good moderator and delete my account(this is a real request).
Because I can not even access my account settings to delete/mark it myself.

Why were you being an asshole in the first place?
I wasn't doing it on purpose so How am I supposed to know moderators ideas

A lot of people (myself included) gave you enough negative feedback that you should have known to stop being an idiot.
A lot of people? you mean fork fans/members?

Warnings are for people whom you think are able to improve their behaviour.
oh so that is why no one warns you. :P
If you don't think I can improve my behaviour, please delete my account.

Lava Croft was just saying that to be unkind.  It's his way of whoring attention, and I doubt he meant it.
Then, perhaps one can explain what warnings are actually for then?
Title: Re: i losted my rites
Post by: Taiyo.uk on September 29, 2008, 12:30:19 pm
Lava's post was saying that "fingered_banana" was essentially a lost cause, and therefore does not merit a warning.
I'd say that's accurate.

He had been flamed enough by the community for his derailing, etc. Usually, that in itself is enough warning for most people. Moderator intervention is the next step for the "special cases" who fail to understand that their conduct is not appreciated. This is what happened here.

Lava might act like a troll (a funny one, the rare kind), but if you look at his profile and then click on 'show last posts by this user', you'll see that he's posting more helpful posts then trolling posts.
If you look at yours however...

The restriction has been removed, but it can be re-inacted at any time.
