Truthfully I wasn't going to post here anymore. But the way my last post was handled really fkn pissed me off.
First, to those who called me NOOB - In the few months I've been here I cared more about this place than any of your management or other members. Despite me being a "noob", so forgive me for forgetting I haven't been here as long as some of your "excellent" members like Bacon, since I've always treated this place like a home.
I've spent so much money to make a book FROM this place just cos I fkn cared, while the admins who make a shit lot of money off all your backs couldn't even give me the pleasure of a response or sticking my thread when I went and asked for it. I had to contact a moderator privately, OUTSIDE this place, to get my thread sticky. Yes the same post dozens of you took part in and thanked me for in every second reply. Your management couldn't give less of a shit.
That notion also reflects in some recent behavior.

Post by Teddy after my thread was locked without a response. It's all words up in the sky with no action. While I respect DoubleD and think the man would make a good moderator, at least until he gets fed up with this place like all other mods, making him mod wasn't enough. It won't stop the unequal treatment of members and prejudice around this place.
And fact is, when mods don't give a shit about this place, and admins only use it as a money-making machine, it won't change. When a member who's done nothing but tried to help this place for months, gets treated like some troll. I made valid points and I'm expecting an answer. You wanted a discussion, why does it have to be on your terms? A forum can survive without its management but not without the users who care about it enough to create discussion rather than reply to everything with a gif or a youtube video. As I'm expecting all replies to be, AGAIN.
And chee was one I actually respected and saw as a friend, yet she closed my thread as if I just asked people to post up their nudes... I put a lot of effort into my fkn post and yet you couldn't even put the effort to read it, you just closed it cos you were on phone, "temporarily" yet never took the time to get back to it.

Locking this until I get off work and don't have to use my mobile.
When the one I thought was the best mod here doesn't give half a shit about this place and only uses it as another place to post her pictures, it's no wonder this place looks like this now. chee, if you don't give a crap, why are you still mod?
And that goes to many of the other mods in the list who I'm not even sure exist anymore.
So yeah, either permaban me or don't lock this thread. Cos I will keep making posts about this. I've made valid points, I didn't just spam with porn out of frustration, but members are still treated unequal. Good members who just ask questions about why a mod can open an OT thread in a section get banned for a week. But members who insult other people's sexual preference barely get a warning.
I'm back, bitches. But probably not for long. :p I just feel the need to explain the situation to some.
Those of you who don't know, last night some of the veterans, funnier and more interesting people on the board decided to riot. Why? A few reasons which I will name here in a minute. That resulted in aforementioned members getting banned. Some "for good". Which means this place is now mainly run by noobs. We will get back to them later too.
First, last night. Based4Life was just unbanned after a day. FYI, the reason for that ban remains unknown. Some members here get a ban for every innocent post while others don't. But we'll get to that too.
This place we once enjoyed has turned into some playground for kids who have a thing for spamming. Basically, replying in every goddamn thread they can find with just a smiley at times. Just so their name will be up there. ryan4butler, for example.
Add that to the lovely, nonstop, religious nutcase comments from Bacon. FYI, I have nothing against Christianity. But when you say stupid things like how you only watch family-friendly films but have Watchman in your avy and sig - people are bound to question your honesty. Like.. Lol viewtopic.php?f=18&t=9056&start=220#p487214. But you never failed in showing religious prejudice against everyone. Apparently here you can get banned if you call Bacon a religious nut, and it's considered as "insulting other people's religions", but not if you say to someone something like "I hope you mean boyfriend". You self-righteous prick. Go figure.
Moving on, ah yes, Red Hood, you have a special place in my heart, you know? First you come into chat trolling as Mason. Then you get pissed off that you're banned so you try to come in as TeddyBlass and AlexHaas on two separate occasions... And then you call us, trolls. The funniest part was when you still tried to come into chat later. Who the fuck do you think you are?
Now I'm gonna have to mention that personally, I may have only been here a few months but I have spent way too much time here on those months and tried to truly be a good member. Be it with creating discussions or making a book for Nolan where I respected every member's privacy equally and never used anything against anyone. I did have my share of personal fights here with people, which I will not mention out of respect for said individuals (I only mention people here who truly "deserve" it) and to be honest, feuds I would like finished... but I tried very hard to get along with as many as I could and truly wanted to do my best. Of course, I sent a message to Teddy back when I was making the book to try and make it a website thing. Bigger than it could ever be. But that clearly wasn't even worth a reply. While others get replies over every silly pm they send about special ranks and whatnot. It's a shame this place doesn't mean enough when someone actually wants to do good by people. Same for Mr. Caine who did his job loyally as spam hunter for ages only to be replaced because he left for just a few days, by the biggest spammer himself, ryan4butler. Same dude who replies for the sake of replying, who lied about his age in his profile (wrote he's 21 admitted later he's 18 but then we hear he's 17... Right. Sounds like another dude who trolled this place for over a year, it's usually a sign for something worse) and can't put any decent amount of thought into his posts so he ends up calling Christopher Nolan "amiture". I have nothing against non-English speakers. I'm not one myself. But ffs, CHECK before you post. You can't blame people for making fun of you when you're in such a rush to spam the board that you make these stupid mistakes and people can't understand a word you're fkn saying! But he's spam hunter. Right.
I'd like to finish by mentioning some of the forum mods. Not many good things can be said about them cos personally, I don't see most of them around. But then the admins don't give a shit enough about this place to pick more and better mods. I would just like to mention the_red_ninja, whom I had respect for in the last but has decided to hurt some people here personally and carelessly and barely apologized (instead tried to explain herself like anyone could ever agree with her actions). I tried to help you. But you lied to me, you lied to others. And you continued trying to come to chat when many made it clear your presence there upsets them. Why hurt people more? I tried to stay out. I can't anymore. And now giving out bans on personal grounds, some more than others, and you're writing how you banned them all like you're proud of it, what's that all about? I could have forgiven you for doing your job but it almost sounds like you're proud of giving out bans to people you hurt before and the whole choice between who got perma and who didn't.. No one could ever make me believe it wasn't personal.
So boys and girls, it's a shame. This could have been the forum Nolan deserved. A place called "Forum FUN" shouldn't be the most heavily moderated section in forum. It should be almost free so people can go crazy (I've seen it in enough other boards). Users should try harder to not respond to every-fucking-thing and rather, reply to what they actually have something to add to. Prejudice over sexual grounds shouldn't be allowed if religious remarks aren't. It just doesn't make sense to let you do one but not the other. If people who hurt Bacon get banned, people who hurt others shoul get banned too. Enough with the favoritism already. And mods should do a fkn better job in moderating parts of the forum like TDKR section cos for those of us who aren't noobs - it's literally impossible to enjoy it because of all the fkn threads repeating each other.
You guys may think some of those members who got banned deserve it because they rioted. But in reality you lost some of the wittiest people here and are left with those mainly replying with just gifs and smilies. It's a shame cos all of this could have been avoided with better management who actually SEES what is going on here rather than make assumptions based on those who report and whine the most and treating people the same way rather than hating on some for personal reasons. (FYI Allstar has more warnings than any of the members who got permabanned last night but we already said it's mainly personal).
Bye to some of you, it was fun til the noobs took over and management let them.
