Moderation Complaints Megathread v.2.0

[Shill]

If you post secret mystery school ***** that begs the question as to what the ***** it is, and clearly lacks subject matter or any form of a context, its going to get Hinnom'd. Period.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Shill doens't like stuff he can't understand either.

You're like a dog, you always come running when I speak. And as about as predictable as ever. Way to turn Mod Complaint Thread into a mud slinging contest. The day is coming dude when you're going to get perma banned jay. I can't wait. You push and break every boundary possible at every chance you get, without a single thought or consideration, you are wanton, aimless, a nomad, a degenerate and worse **** poster in the History of Seatribe. Bless the day you're finally ousted and *****. It will be framed and hung on the wall. Solemn oaths and assemblies will be heard, children will cease to weep.

With Regards,

http://forum.salemthegame.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=8537 was locked because the mod Pjotr84 lacks comprehension skills.

He writes "Please put some effort, quality (and context) into your topics. Why is this even in HoB?" when that thread shows very much effort and quality in the sense that is not a cookie-cutter thread and that it actually demands a brain from its readers.

And to answer "Why is this even in HoB?": HoB has the label "Forum for In-Game politics, relations and matters of justice." so the thread was very much one that was written in the proper section of the forum.

What's the context? All I see are quotes from various writings. How is that related to in-game politics, relations, or matters of justice? If you're going to argue why a thread should or shouldn't be locked, please be specific as to why it did belong there. Without context, it is meaningless to HoB.

To quickly answer from the first part about how it relates to "matters of justice":

The first post specifically used the expressions: "The path of the righteous man" and " And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.". How is that not about justice? The first post provides an ideal to follow and the justice that happens when someone tries to prevent that ideal from being upheld.

"Syntactic ambiguity, also called amphiboly or amphibology, is a situation where a sentence may be interpreted in more than one way due to ambiguous sentence structure.

Syntactic ambiguity arises not from the range of meanings of single words, but from the relationship between the words and clauses of a sentence, and the sentence structure implied thereby. When a reader can reasonably interpret the same sentence as having more than one possible structure, the text meets the definition of syntactic ambiguity.

In legal disputes, courts may be asked to interpret the meaning of syntactic ambiguities in statutes or contracts. In some instances, arguments asserting highly unlikely interpretations have been deemed frivolous."

No, it was a post in HoB quoting a movie, with a verse from a Book of literature, with a bogus reference as your only source. Your use the word justice, and what the author had implied, and what I, or the mods and others could have infered, could have all easily varied. This amounts to confusion: *****. Hinnom.

The grand majority of all posts in this forum are **** posts. Being a **** post should not disqualify it automatically. From where the thread starter took the quote has no bearing on the fact that the quote itself relates to justice.

how does it relate to In-Game matters of justice?

In case sabinati's response isn't clear as to who he's speaking to:

The first post specifically used the expressions: "The path of the righteous man" and " And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.". How is that not about justice? The first post provides an ideal to follow and the justice that happens when someone tries to prevent that ideal from being upheld.

Also:
Thank you, shill, for making the murky waters so clear. (I personally didn't think they were that murky other than to those that like to thrash in the water so the sediment rises up from the bottom.)

As I said, naosnule, that post lacked any context in relating to the game. Without that, we know nothing, therefore it's even more useless than a newspaper with no news in it.

-stuff-

I was tryin to explain to nao, that because the topic was so vague, and he sites it isn't due to "word use", I gave him an argument on the grounds of "word use" that it was so ambiguous, it had to be "judged" by a mod. Obviously the mod found it to be, without merit to be in HoB, or anywhere else other than Hinnom. Maybe one day I'll be in the Big Boys Club and part of the Mystery Schools, and can unlock the powers of reading the minds of others. Until then, ***** are *****.

how does it relate to In-Game matters of justice?

How does it not? Like I said: the opening post provides an opinion about what justice is. It also points out an ideal about how to behave in relation to the likes of the Chief. "Relations" happens to be a part of the HoB label: "Forum for In-Game politics, relations and matters of justice."

Chief provides his own opinion about how relations should be with him: "Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God. But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God."

It is not explicit argumentation, it is argumentation in form of metaphors.


And to answer to shill again: the grand majority of all forum posts are **** posts.

[Shill]

something about *****

Ok, while that may or may not be true...it is NOT a valid POSITIVE argument. You need to formulate one, and quick, if you want to win over the mods. Otherwise, the ***** will remain in Hinnom. The Lord our Jorb, be pras'd.

You can argue in circles as much as you'd like, your quotes had nothing to do with the game or in-game politics.
