Way back when in 2009, when I joined this site, I became addicted. I went on every single day hoping to see my cousin, Szabo, and my friends and have a nice laugh. Then one day, when Szab became an admin I started to become serious. A couple months later I was adminned then about a year passed and I became Saviimin. During the next months I watched my friends become higher and higher in ranking. One day (not very long ago) I saw a chat with a bunch of admins and said why not? So I went in and nobody greeted me. Odd I thought, in a full Chat Id expect to get atleast one 'hello'. I decided to just lurk in there. Then I realized what they were talking about. Why were they being so inappropriate? I was grossed out and almost left.Then I saw an admin fight. Wouldn't we ban normal users if they trolled US like that? Aren't WE the roll models? We shouldn't act like 32 year old inappropriate hypocrites. Now, there are a bunch of kids that are my age. Now, mature up, please. Yes you just got told to mature up by an eleven-year old.
This isn't about when we got adminized, BM is asking the most adminis to stop feeling invincible and do whatever they like. Most of the times, I see a lot of admins acting like a drunk (figure of speech) or in either way acts that a normal member can't do or they would be banned. I think the rules should be taken more strict for admins.
On another note, those "admin fights" are just childish discussions those happen to be admins we can easly /block.
@Divine - You know as well "reporting" has no effect at all.
I second this completely BM. I try my hardest to be the best admin I can be. I make mistakes, & I'd hope someone would tell me if I did something wrong. But at the end of theday, I'm just a user like everyone else. I'm subject to the same rules as someone with a non-colored name is. Which is why, I do myvery best to follow all rules, no matter what.
well its all hull's choice and you can't really argue, he does whats he wants, but i do agree, admins abuse their powers and SOME aren't very good role models because since they're admins they think they're better than everyone else
I wasnt here at the "golden age" but, i do here people talk about it once in a while. It sounds nice amd peaceful. The new admins arent doing there jobs right and are taking advantage of it. They are causing many problems that are unnessesary and could have been aoided. We should atleast have one day of peace like back then.
There was no "Golden Age", it was more like the QUIET age, where you could log in, hit up a chatroom, and have a good time with your friends there. There was no fighting, no rants, no quarrels among different religions, sexuality, race, or admin type. if someone broke a rule, BOOM, ban, and carry on.
Now these days, you ban someone, it's all over the media.
During those times, I was not an admin. I was a normal user. I wasn't awesome, I was just a normal user who came on the chatrooms.
As much as I miss those days, it can't be brought back, sadly. Unfortunately, political correctness took over where you once could be free of such uptight code of ethics. The real world today has taken over the one place I could escape from the real world.
I refuse to be "politically correct" in the real world, and I refuse it as well on the Internet. I live MY life how I think is right, and I expect my opinions to be heard, as I hear other's. You can bring up how cool and God-like Obama is, but that only pisses me off, and makes me want to tell you more of his true side is like. See? Fair trade of opinions
With power, comes pig-headness. We all know that. now, i wasn't in "The Golden Age", but please stop reminiscing in it. Nothing ever stays the same. People will fight. We can only hope they keep it in mail, or IM clients.
Hmm... As previously said, I can't help but point out, it's 2 years later. Don't constantly bring up what you guys call "The Golden Age".[I wasn't there.] You keep comparing it to today, and that's ruining what it meant, or something.... My point is, quit whining. And [older] Admins, quit fighting amongst yourselves AND users. And quit ranting against the younger, newer Admins. Hull gave them the job, don't argue. He could[and should] DeadMin you for acting like idiots...
I can rant but I'll save me the time if it's "innaproparite" why don't you report?
and you get ignored by an admin? so what, annoying as it can be (for some) they are their own person and don't actually need to talk to anyone. Again, I think it's an irrelevant blog.
Thisblog is so so true, I'm getting fed up with all these admins doing this, I lurk every once and a while and it's always the same admins doing it. It's just disgusting, you need to set an example for yourself as an admin. One day I talked to one of the admins that do it, and they told me that it's just fun and games, I was just like wow, later that day I warned the admin to stop, and they called me a failmin for something clearly that was bannable. This all needs to stop, if not just stop in chats and do it elsewhere.
I do agree with you in some points, like some of the admins never say "Hi" to you in a chatroom. Most of them only talk to you if you barely say something to them them but then they'll ignore you more after that.
