Thread about Rapid and what happened on 11/2

[PsYcO aSsAsSiN]

And with Sin abusing his moderator powers, I expect to see a punishment of the removal of his moderator powers.

*sigh* I thought you weren't attached to Rapid by the ass anymore, but I guess I was wrong. How am I abusing powers when I delete spam? Obviously, you are lacking something upstairs if you think I wasn't justified in deleting his crap.

As for my "abuses of power," tell me how I was abusing it. I did in fact tell him to stop posting his threads because all they were were flame posts...read what I posted in about the 4th or 5th thread that he posted:

Rapid, anymore posts out of you trying to start a flamewar like this and you will be banned for at least one week. I am putting a sticky by this and locking it so you see it.

In there, I told him that he was starting a flamewar and furthur posting would lead to a ban. All of his posts were flames.

Hell, I didn't even have to post something like this, but I was being nice by doing so. When you spam or violate other forum rules, you aren't even entitled to a reason why your post was deleted. You should realize what you have posted was in violation. If Rapid was stupid enough not to realize that his posts were made with the intent of starting a war of words, then he truely is ignorant.

Grow up, Rapid acted childish and he will be dealt with...I don't think anyone with a rational mind would disagree with that.

[Bondo]

Ace, my thread about you wasn't even a flame...it was just telling you to follow the rules.  It is Bucc's and your fault that the thread turned into a flame war.

As for you Deadeye, I thought I made myself clear when I said you shouldn't post like that...but now I'm forced to give you an official warning.  Oh, and Typhy, if you reply in the manner Deadeye did, you'll get a warning too.

Rapid naturally has gone beyond a warning with his stuff.

[Deadeye]

and maybe i didn't make myslef clear bondo, i didn't care.  still don't.  i responded the way i was addressed.  you think i should be held to a higher standard, good for you.  i don't agree.  

[jn.loudnotes]

I'm moving this back to GG. . .people need to see it.

[Bondo]

Deadeye, my warning was based on the same standard as other posters, not on an inflated one.

[PsYcO aSsAsSiN]

Deadeye, don't respond to that...let's not create a flamewar. Same goes to you Bondo, cease with the bickering.

As for everyone else, if you post in here and it doesn't contibute to the thread, it will be deleted and you will be one step closer to being put on the warning list.[/b]

What everyone seems to be overlooking, is the fact that Bucc came into my post to start "correcting" me to his opinion of what he feels.  I specifically asked for that type of attitude and posts to not come in to this thread, and when I come back a couple days later to see, is The First Post by Bucc questioning what I stated, starting conflict.  I don't know who Bucc thinks he is trying to correct me, but he surely isn't any supporter of the Hip-Hop community and wouldn't know jack shit of the first thing in "Rap and Hip-Hop".  Rap is Hip-Hop.  It's one of the 4 Elements of Hip-Hop with the other 3 being BreakDancing, Graffiti and DJ'ing.  When I posted my statement it was in clear context of what was being stated, yet Bucc felt the need to try and correct it, as if he's an expert in the field.  I found that damn insulting and the fact that I asked for no nonsense like that to be started in the first, took me over the edge when I looked back and the 1st post, started the ignorant flaming.  Sure he tried to be a nice flamer, but that just doesn't cut it.  Also, the fact it had to be him trying to correct me, when he was the one throwing it in my face how him and Deadeye had their MacClans decision of banning |?K|, since I'm the webmaster and leader, but somehow be nice to the rest of my clan(yeah, go figure how...), it truly hit the wrong button.  Who do you think you are coming in correcting me as if you're in the right to do so?  Rap and Hip-Hop has been the biggest movement in Music thanks to RUN DMC.  Now people want to come in and disrespect what good is being said of some dead artists, and try to justify it by saying I'm overreacting, I got news for you.  You fools are all disrespectful to RUN DMC and is why I snapped, as anybody would for a band, especially a legendary one like RUN DMC, that they believe in.  I stated everything in my post in good taste, to share the knowledge of this tragedy.  It wasn't mean for some computer geeks to try and come correcting what I'm praising...   Damn Disrespectful fools...

[Deadeye]

assassin, ok, i'll let it go, but i'd like to hear from another mod if my post was below some warning threashold or not.

for everyone else, i think it's obvious from rapid's twisting bucc's quote to his complaints about macclans, that this was never about run dmc.  it was about a bruised ego.

[Ace]

This isn't nonsense, so I'll go right ahead and post it.

He was only 37?  They were around in the 80's, I would have figured him for much older then that.  He looked like he was in his mid 20's, 20 years ago.  I've never seen his reported age, I just find it odd that he's only 37

Yes Run DMC was a legendary hip-hop group (but wouldn't that be "rap", since that's what they really pioneered?)

But, I don't think you could call hip-hop or rap "the biggest move in the music industry worldwide".  That is a stretch, by any means.

Sorry to see him go at any age.  Run DMC was groundbreaking and he did have a large effect.  They probably did more to bring RAP out in the mainstream and get it airtime then any other band of that genre back then.

Also, who shot him?  Over what?

There, that's Bucc's original post. Bucc straight up says how Run DMC was incredibly influential. That's as far from disrespect as it gets. The only possibly contentious point is that he doesn't think that Rap is the biggest movement in the music industry. That's not starting a flamewar, that's stating his opinion. Honestly Rapid, look at what you are starting this mess over. I find it quite ridiculous.

[AK_Rap1d]

This guy's correcting me as if he's some expert in the subject or as if that's needed in a thread where only good things are supposed to be said Ace.  Now get off my case.  I love how you computer geeks get off trying to correct other people.  Hip-Hop is Rap, not 2 different categories like Bucc tried to correct me.  Now stay off my case.  Bucc should've been warned for his Extra Curricular Negative Criticism.  Instead you guys go after me, since you're out to get me no matter what I say...  He shouldn't of even tried to start correcting me or trying to criticize Hip-Hop or Rap all together.  It's that negative energy that is no different then SK's post, a couple posts down,  saying "All Rap is crap", the type of  BS I didn't want there.  It's a place to give respect to a Legend.  Some of you computer geeks just don't understand that though...   It's a ugly breed you got going on there...

[jn.loudnotes]

1.  Extra curricular?
2.  Are you seriously calling people in a computer gaming forum "computer geeks"?  NO SHIT!  What do you think we are?
3.  Remember, this is a R6 forum.  You don't have to be upset just because people are insentive to rap here.  
4.  By making this into a big issue, you've created just as much negative energy.

Now, at this point you could go flying off the handle at me, and lose any sympathy you've got on this forum.  But I think if you post a thread publicly retracting any negative comments, apologizing for spamming the board, and promising to change, you won't be banned.  And everyone will be happier in the end.

So. . .all you have to do is admit you are wrong.  In a new thread, very prominently.

Mods. . .back me up on this one.

[Ace]

Rapid, if you would note, he begins the sentence in question with "I don't think," thus admitting he is no expert on the subject. He is merely stating his opinion in a very neutral manner. No one else even really noticed it until you blew it out of proportion.

[jn.loudnotes]

Ace, I think you posted at the same time I did. . .

How do you feel about forgiving Rapid if he posts a retraction. . .

(btw just delete this double post once you've seen it)

[Ace]

Sure, if Rapid apologizes for his actions, I would be willing to let things slide. We all make mistakes.

PS - Leaving your double post up so I don't get yelled at for double posting. :P

[jn.loudnotes]

Bah. . .you just like that you've got 100 more posts than I do now.

[|MP|Buccaneer]

WOW.  So much going on since last I visited.

Loudnotes and Assassin, I'll keep up my side by not contributing to the flame war that is brewing here.  

I will say, in my own defense, that I don't think I said anything negative, and I know I didn't mean anything negative towards the memory of jammaster jay or Run DMC.  Even looking back at my post I don't understand how it could be taken in such a negative way.  But for anyone that thought it was negative, it wasn't.  I also don't see any criticism in my posts in that thread.  I ask if anyone besides Rapid does?

[(SiX)Ben]

Bondo,
 I just have to address this very quickly. Frankly, I cannot believe that you are taking Rapid and Typhy's side that the moderator did something wrong. Buccaneer's posts always have point to them, a reason for posting. They are never there just to start a flame war. Look at Rapid's in comparison. Shouldn't be hard to find, there were about 30 of them... So, Assassin saw the post, was like... "A while string dedicated to spread 'Inner Circle' theories and to bash Bucc? This can't turn out well." Frankly, it WOULD have been a flame war. Again, Buccaneer's posts are always created for the reason, not to start a war.

So, Assassin deletes the post that would have created a flame war (admit it. you would have posted there too!) And then... Then Rapid reposts. Assassin, a bit off guard, deletes it and tells Rapid to stop. Now, what does Rapid do? Post it more. Assassin again deleted and then AGAIN offers a warning! 2 warnings. That's more then most have gotten. Then Rapid continues to post, direct disobedience. This time Ace (who saw all this happen) deletes it and suggests a ban. What's Rapid's response? You would think an apology.

No, Rapid decides to spam the WHOLE forum with trash. I went to the RS FAQ... where not even half the posts were moved... It took up a whole page... If you would like to think this was the fault of the moderator, be my guest, but I would not blame Ace or Assassin for a thing. Not their fault in the least!

Try not bitching at each other and trying to work this out peacefully

Edited my post to the point

OmG RAPID How many damn post did you make saying the exact same thing now i see why he should be ban

[Ace]

Casper, i have it saved, don't worry. I just wanted to make a point heh.

[Jeb]

fix it do something but banning rapid is not going to help that much. nor is banning bucc or getting rid of ass and Ace going to help

so your saying that anyone can make dozens of spam threads (yes its spam when you  bomb it over and over typhy) simply to get noticed? And then bucc should get in trouble because he disagrees with rapid over a stupid issue.
And aparently by deleting the dozens of threads rapid made is abusing moditorial powers.
look at SK, he got 1 warning, then he spammed some more and got banned.
Rapid seems to have been warned 4 times within the course of his spamming and like a rapist he doesn't know what "stop" means. It isn't like rapid has a spotless record before that happened so i don't see why he should get off. nj on "fighting fire with fire rapid.

[Just when things start to cool down, Jeb comes along. :P Edited for my sanity. Ace]
