Really? Now just what could you be referring to?

I really should have saved those threads

Again... when YOU were viewing the forums, the thread was sitting right next to it... And as you point out, the religion thread was toasted as well when IT WAS SEEN. Both offensive threads got taken care. You seem to be saying that things aren't fair based soley on the fact that it took longer for somebody to notice one vs the other. Contrary to popular belief, we do not cruise the forums every second... and that isn't an issue of fairness. You can try to use examples like that and claim bias... but the reality is that things are dealt with when they are noticed.

And as for your specific example... I'm the one that toasted both threads... Since when was I pro/anti China or religion.
Please point out examples of my biases in these areas... Again, with no actual facts... you are assuming that another Mod was the involved one...

DaShi · February 26, 2004, 09:13

You didn't toast the China thread.

Ming · February 26, 2004, 09:24

Hmmmm... You are refering to a different China thread... I had deleted another China thread earlier... so in that you are correct. However, the thread deserved to be closed... and so did the religion thread... and both were... Again, your whole claim of bias is based on timing... and has nothing to do with that one was allowed and the other wasn't. Neither was allowed. and both were closed... no bias what so ever

DaShi · February 26, 2004, 09:29

I disagree, but let's just let it stand there. Nobody is perfect. Not even mods.

Theben · February 26, 2004, 09:35

@ Shogun.

Ming · February 26, 2004, 09:36

Again... were both threads taken care of... Yes, they were... so feel free to continue your troll, but you have no FACTS to back it up...

DaShi · February 26, 2004, 09:43

I'm not trolling, I'm disagreeing and making my concerns known...

Ming · February 26, 2004, 09:51

Disagreeing with what... again, were both threads closed?
Yes, they were. You are pointing at something that has nothing to do with bias... the actual timing. Again, we don't live on the boards every second. You can't expect things to be dealt with imediately... they get dealt with when they are seen or reported. So yeah... you are trolling, like you are well know for

...and continuing the China metaphor...

This ping pong match is quite amusing.

Sorry it came up twice but not my fault. The site is very slow from here today and when I clicked submit, everything hung for more than five minutes. When it finally released from limbo-land, there were two posts.

A likely excuse.

I don't really want to single out anybody so I'm not going to do that.

Basically if you have a problem with a Mod's decision, take it up with owners. If you're inclined to do so, I see nothing wrong with sending a polite PM to a Mod discussing the action that was taken, although. Most people don't like it when others goes over their heads to their superiors.

The bottomline here is that this is not a democracy.

Ming · February 26, 2004, 20:53

Most people seem to have no problem when other people's threads are moderated... but when it's their thread...

Yes, this isn't a democracy... and you can always take it up with the owners...

Heh. I meant I haven't seen much of you since the Firaxis OT boards before the release of SMAC (if any of us can remember back that far

). I actually didn't even realize that either you or Snowfire was around here on Apolyton until I saw your names on the Hall of Fame list.

Theben · February 27, 2004, 02:28

Imran was here before SMAC was known to the the public. I can attest to that.

No, I suspect bias so I am simply bringing up my reasons for this suspicion. You disagree with me that there is bias have given me your reasons why. I respected your reasons, but they do not fully convince me. Either way, I offered to end the debate since both threads were closed and leave it at that. But you still keep trying to egg me on. Now who is the one who is trolling?

Goes to show how little time I've spent in the OT here on Apolyton. I just don't have time to keep up with it, really. If there were less threads/posts per day, I might.
