How does her telling the truth about how whiny you people are being equate to Reborn bashing?

Crimson took your sideand called the "web-conservatives" whiny-ass children, so if she's going to act like this from now and on, I believe that she should start bashing Reborn.

Fact is, she isn't supposed to take anybody's side here, or even insult a group of users, why? Because I believe that's the way Virtual Ted and the old Westwood community managers wanted it, I even think it was one of the reasons to be given the community to you.

The reason Ted gave the forums to Crimson was that she had the resources to manage it. Dante was the second choice if Crimson were unable to do it.

She doesn't have to appear impartial to anyone. She owns the forums and can run them any way she wishes to... Why? She pays for the bandwidth. Money talks.

Then this forum isn't the neutral point of the community, I've thought the oposite for a while, guess it's over now.

(I really thought there was a rule concerning the management of the forum? Oh well.)

No, you aren't incorrect in that belief.

A manager of any type irregardless of what situation is supposed to be impartial. That's why BHS has a disclaimer stating that only the three managers are to be considered as the absolute authority in BHS communications. They have members that can't behave themselves and attack each other and other mods on the very forums they are supposed to support. I particularly like ack stating JW is full of it, and SK's nice little "you can't trust JW" blurb in his signature.
And then there's the whole REBORN thing...
And we're the children?

They are supposed to be impartial and communicate to all members the community impartially. So, you see, you aren't incorrect in that assumption.

Blazer is a very good example of impartiallity

There is no neutral point to any community. Ted has no problems with how this forum is run. He has visited here several times over the last year, and continues to do so today.

What I mean by neutral point is that anybody in the entire community can join the forums without "fearing" to be insulted by the owners or been banned by no specific reason by the owners.

I doubt that Ted had a chance to see Crimson's message.

You should see what they do in IRC. SK is extremely immature. mac had to scream at him and tell him to stop attacking JW in the public chat. It's really hard to take the team seriously when they even fight among themselves. Jonwil is a great guy that messed up once. Hes probably done more for Renegade modification wise than any other person.

Yes, I must say JW is a very professional man, as well as mac.

They never espouse any emnity at all.

Maybe I'll just shut you down... I don't need to listen to your bullshit, and neither does anyone else.

You missed the entire point..

1) ACK is obviously an abbreviation of Aircraftkiller. Blazer commonly misspells "already" with two l's, so I put a filter in there to automatically fix it for him. I did this along the same lines.

2) Waking up to this huge thread full of complaining that you can't call him ACK anymore (if I left it on) PROVES HIS POINT that you are using it to insult him and you resent not being able to insult him anymore!

Now, to appease you... Re-barn -> Reborn

Furthermore, I was a contributing, opinion posting member of these forums long before I ever hosted them. Just because I now host them does NOT mean that I have to stop having an opinion. There's another thread where you guys complain that I don't moderate enough, now here's one where I am moderating too much! You just have to make up your minds.

Here's the problem. You blow up at all of us in the community when we complain about the filter. Yet when people bitch about ACK attacking other mods or their projects you turn a deaf ear. ACK and his cronies always attacking Reborn and nothing is done. I have yet to see a Reborn member attack RenAlert like ACK does to them. And his attacks are totaly unprovoked!

And don't go saying they don't attack RenAlert because it it better. Because I've played them both. And you know what? They both F'n suck, but I don't go posting all over the F'n world about it. I stop playing them.

More on the ACK filer thingy... Yes people use it to piss him off. I use it because I don't feel like typing his full name and on the old WW forums he didn't mind it. As a matter of fact his maps were labled as "ACK Maps" on CnCDen and other places. Why the change? IDGAF why. It's a nickname... It's not even your real name so live with it.

Double standards here are getting way out of hand. Since you have decided to blow up on the general public about this whole ordeal, we expect you to do the same to ACK when he crosses the line.


R.I.P. TreyD. You will be missed, but not forgotten.

No, here's the difference. I didn't delete this thread. I don't delete Reborn-bashing threads. If someone bashed RenAlert, I wouldn't delete that thread either. Once again, I THOUGHT you all said "ACK" to shorten his name. If I'd known you call him that to insult him, I wouldn't have added a filter. And since you DO in fact use it to insult him, I removed the filter and hence re-enabled your ability to insult him.

I'm the bawss.

What the fuck? Some did, not everyone, and we've never said that you were "moderating too much".

Oh, and nobody asked you to waste your money on these forums.

Wow...Crimson, you missed the entire point. That proves nothing.

People were using "ACK" as an insult after it was being filtered as a way of protesting our censorship.

What the FUCK are you smoking?

That is not even remotely a logical conclusion.

*MAYBE* people used "ACK" as an insult. But that's not the only possibility...

*MAYBE* people think the shortened version "ACK" looks better than the longer version "Aircraftkiller."

*MAYBE* people prefer to read "ACK" rather than "Aircraftkiller" because it's two fewer syllables and much easier to read, especially when it shows up 300 times per thread.

*MAYBE* people resent you changing their writing. The fact that you're changing "ACK" to "Aircraftkiller" is irrelevant.


If I want to insult Aircraftkiller, I'll call him AssCrackFiller, or FRL, or any other insulting parody of his name I can think of. ACK is not an insult. It's simply his name.

Just because I'd rather call gay people "gay" than "homosexual," that doesn't mean I'm homophobic or a gay-hater. I just think all this politically correct shit is fuckin' bull. And I don't play that game. THAT is why I got angry that you made the "ACK" filter.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents...

What's so bad about the filter anyways? Why is it so important that you'd HAVE to say ACK, and have it stay like that rather than be changed to aircraftkiller, as thats what is inferred anyways?

It would be the same as the filter replacing "u" with "you", and "r" with "are", and I doubt that people would complain about it. heck, I'm sure that if Crimson were to put in place a filter that replaced, "lol" with "laughing out loud" I doubt anyone would complain.

Simply put, grow up people. Those who are complaining about this are probably the same type of people who cry injustice when they get caught cheating on a test and are failed for it.

Ask yourself this: is it REALLY so bad that "ACK" is replaced with "Aircraftkiller"? It's the same word, isn't it? I could understand if a filter was put in place were if something like "Crimson's fat" were changed to "I'm stupid" or something like that, but changing one word for another when it's EXACTLY the SAME word and then complaining about it is so childish, wouldn't you say?
