Taking this off topic a little here. I did read the above so I do know it is not supposed to be done but thought I would throw this bit of info out there. Speaking of Millers, who has tried Millers Chill. That beer is awesome. If you haven't tried it and if you like Corona's, dump the Corona and change over to Millers Chill. Top notch.

I think the name of the thread this is split off into should be 'Miller's Lite'

The team who all drew the short draw on this part of the forums are:

millersnose, SpaceMonkey, macavity and myself.

Please PM us or report posts

if you have any concerns :sarcasm:

So are you not a Moderator of the Eels forum as well Barty?? Can Moderators choose which forums they want or you just get put into one. What happens if you hate a certain football team and you don't even want to be in that forum and you get put into it and then you have to read all the crap that goes in there when you really don't give a crap. Must be trying.

Well when you have nothing you may as well resort to insults, oh hang on thats all you ever resort to.

every thread you come out of left field with your little cat like remarks, you are exactly what you are accusing him off.

I'm gonna call you cat from now on.

Hi cat.

 

[El Diablo]

Don't lie Willow. You went in search of a reason to defend the fact that my post was deleted.

I posted an article with a link posted at the bottom to the site. If that's not citing a source then nothing is.

I'm afraid that you've just gone out of your way to defend your fellow mods for f**king up.

Arr, Now El D is in the house. This place gets better by the minute. If only Eels81236 could find their way over here, I reckon full blown war could break out. Looks like I'm going to have to leave the Eels forum and stay over here.

El D, I promise man, I will behave. When does "Millers" come back. I want to see him in action. PS:- Hevy Devy is ok, I don't think I've ever witnessed him going nuts like some others in their biased views. Theres days I can't say a thing right on the Eels forum without copping a pasting.

 

[HevyDevy]

Oh that's right, it was the agency that wrote it attached - Agence France Press.

Well there you go, I was thinking it was a link but it just happened to be the very people that wrote it.

Again, the source was quoted - or is the original source not good enough 'dickhead'? (Petty insults really are pathetic El, I thought you were better than that. I was wrong).

:crazy:

 

[Parra Future]

HD,

The timing of your reponse now makes my prior response look dumb. Bad timing on both our behalves I reckon.

Why thankyou Parra, that's very nice of you to say.

And yes, you should spend more time in 4c. It's entertaining to say the least and with the exception of one or two people the banter and disagreements aren't taken too personally.

 

[HevyDevy]

Does that make the timing of my response to that last post bad timing as well?

:lol:

Anyway, not sure what your most recent post is referring to but so be it.

I just tell it like it is.

Lucky for you rampant stupidity isn't a breach of the forum rules, or you would need another 10 moderators just to manage your own drivel.

[Willow]

Don't lie Willow. You went in search of a reason to defend the fact that my post was deleted.

FMD, you insist on being ripped to shreds on this... OK.

I'm responding to your claims.

You did not post a link. From correspondents in London and Agence France-Presse are not links.

In this case, a 'source' without a link simply isn't good enough.

A detailed definition of correct sourcing was explained to you last year. I showed you why in the members guidelines. It's in black and white:

If that source has an URL (website) link, then the URL must be included.

There was a link available online, so you should have posted it. You did not.

1. El Diablo 'soft-deleted' it (this allows Admin to review it if required).
2. A PM with an explanation was sent to you.
3. Followed up by an Administrator as requested.

By any forum standards, this is good moderating.

It was a relatively minor incident, and quite frankly that should have been the end of it. But you convinced yourself of your own nonsense and kicked up a major fuss.

First came the tanty, you carried a like a kid who has his toy taken away. Then you had a whinge. You whinged more. Then some more. You are still whinging.

Bottom line: you didn't like being moderated.

I posted an article with a link posted at the bottom to the site. If that's not citing a source then nothing is.

Nope.

There was no link. I saw the post you whinged about.

You're wrong.

After having it explained to you, you sat on it for a year and are now crying about it here.

I'm afraid that you've just gone out of your way to defend your fellow mods for f**king up.

lol. You're the one who wanted an explanation in triplicate. I merely furnished you with the facts.

Again, you sooked about it so I looked into it, and gave a detailed reply. You wasted a lot of time over nothing.

It wasn't the answer you wanted because you suddenly had nothing to whinge about. So like all good sooks, you stored it up.

Time for the coup de grâce Hevy.

Here is the post you claimed to have put a link to last May:

http://forums.leagueunlimited.com/showthread.php?t=200439

Restored just for you, now maybe you'll stop your whinging. But somehow I doubt it.

As you can see, it has no link. You were moderated in accordance with the members guidelines - as was explained to you.

The ball is your court Hevy. You were wrong, sadly mistaken, or you lied. Which is it? How about you just save some face and admit that you got it wrong?

Even then, I wasn't upset.

:lol:

Sure, you just bumped up threads, whinged about it across two forums and sent PMs to Mods and Admin.... and then brought it up again a year later.

Sounds like a an upset fella to me. Again, do you honestly expect to be taken seriously?

I was a little surprised but I found the whole saga quite amusing - just like this latest venture where again a mod has felt the need to do something a little bizarre.

As for Millers being my friend in those days, nobody on 4c is my friend and nobody is my enemy.

If you feel the need to 'take sides' in the same way that you clearly hold a grudge, so be it.

More nonsense. You brought it up.

Not taking sides. Just showing you the facts.

I won't hold any grudges against Millers for today's events. Whether he does or not, time will tell.

lol at "don't hold any grudges".

May 2008 => March 2009. "Go figure"

The courageous thing would be for you to apologise for wasting everyone's time.

 

[HevyDevy]

Of course it's changed El, I saw the original yarn and recalled exactly what the case was. Deal with it.

As it is, that's fine and all El, but let me put this to you:

I assume that original rule was listed so that whenever a story was posted the source of where that story came from was also listed. That is, if the Telegraph wrote it you source the Tele, if the SMH wrote it you source the SMH and if cricinfo wrote it you source cricinfo.

The rule did not take into account scenarios where a story appeared on a certain website but was in fact written by a completely different agency.

For example, if AAP write a story that appears in the Tele, I could credit the Tele but I could also (and more accurately) credit AAP.

In his case I credited the Agency that wrote the story. It's theirs, they own it.

So perhaps our whole argument is based on this scenario that wasn't considered at the time thr forum rules were listed?

If so, we could take it as we were both right and move on.

Or you could insist that I was in the wrong, ignore the fact that I have a valid point and throw another insult my way if that's what floats your boat.

Your thoughts?

 

[El Diablo]

Is post whore a position between moderator and administrator?

it has to do with post count

over a certain amount makes you a post whore

 

[HevyDevy]

I'm not going to read all of your post Willow - everything you say in there is predictable and I'm sure it's all talking down to me - because that's what you do to everyone - so there is little point.

All I'll say is that in that scenario, just like with Millers today, I was responding to a situation where the mod either acted outside what they are reasonably asked to do or something occured as I observed in my previous post.

Actually, I just noticed that El was the one that originally deleted my post so that explains why he has fired up. I can understand people wanting to defend themselves.

 

[El Diablo]

it requires a link for a reason and thats why its written that way in the gudelines

Willow can explain that for you. i cbf

 

[Parra Future]

HD,

Not picking a fight with you buddy, but I got a warning for not posting a link not long back. I honestly just screwed up and didn't even realise that I had done it till I was told. After I was told, I fixed it up straight away, said sorry, I f*cked up and moved on. Let it go man. Its not that important.
