Very, very sad you have to be like this, deathevokation . And to think you were one of the people on this board I actually didn't mind. Oh well, true colors come out sooner or later I'm sorry for forcing your hand but I want everyone's cards on the table.. I know you guys are just following orders, this place has always been predicted to have a short lifespan but somehow it never dies, it's actually been a pretty impressive and wild journey.. people have been saying it's on it's last legs for years.. I was a part of it when it began and every break I take from it and come back I'm still surprised it's not only running but there's always impressive projects going on. I don't want a situation where I'm thinking the userbase is shrinking because my friends from the beginning just lost interest.. only to get blindsided by the fact that they were banned 3 weeks back because the admin just came back and is making room for his gf.. I write something only for it to be dismissed, then get called "a fucking idiot".. we're not exactly already off to a great start with this new moderation idea are we? The whole thing makes me not want to trust anyone.. is what I'd like to say atleast.. but the truth is I never trusted any of you from the start.. Noted, but it bears repeating: were I actually one of these "shadow mods", half this board would be keeping the Titanic company.

Gotta get your postcount to 1k quick or else I'm taking Rena with me.. infact I might just sabotage your lifeboat and take her with me regardless..

Goddammit, literally one (ONE) user gets rightfully muted for a prolonged period of time for being a dumbass and putting forum at risk and you act like the world is crumbling at your feet. It's not even the first time shit like this happens ( ahem Joe-Ilya ahem Kontra ahem) and it didn't ruin the forum. Kontra returned on his own accord and Joe-Ilya was allowed to post again by 40oz for some weird reason. So I guess one day you'll see new shitposts of your best buddy Xeep sooner or later (hopefully when this forum will be divided in blogs).

You were talking about Xeep in past tense, what did you expect me to think?? Most of the time it takes a while for the hubris to kick in, but this just went from one to ten (ten being "you guys don't belong here, this is our territory"). The Joe/Kontra events are not interchangeable with a "kick old smelly members so that tourists can visit" scenario.. I don't feel I need to explain the difference..

deathevokation, I talked about this two years ago.Like you, I don't want any user to ever be permanently banned from this forum. I know people can change. The point of moderators being able to mute people is that if someone is being particularly disruptive to the forum's peace, I think there should be some people who have the ability to do something about it. It doesn't seem right to me that, as the forum grows, everyone should be at the mercy of the disruptive poster. Likewise, the moderators also have the ability to release people from mute or dumbworld. I strategically picked people whom I think have differing opinions about how doomer boards is supposed to be run. The checks and balances between them is supposed to keep the forum from being anyone's territory. I'm assuming while one moderator might find a member to be disruptive, another would find that same member to add value to this forum. As a result, most people in a moderator's reticle would likely only be penalized for a brief time. So far everyone outside of the doom community I talked about this idea to thinks i'm being extremely lenient. I briefly considered adopting USA's pro-2A; guns for everyone model by giving everyone the ability to mute each other, but I'm not sure what kind of extreme consequences might come from that. btw were you called a fucking idiot? I can't find the post.

The Joe/Kontra events are not interchangeable with a "kick old smelly members so that tourists can visit" scenario. different incidents you're bringing up, not that I need to explain the difference.. Fair point. I do remember Tainted Slav getting banned and lutumlautus guy was put into Dumbworld after saying "fuck you" to MattFright for his cringy profile GIF. Tainted Slav got banned by 40 after he was presented a choice. And so he made his choice... He didn't seem to care if the forum gets deleted and only used it to rant about how much he hates globoHOMO and pedophiles (I know he wasn't always like this, but he got progressively more and more deranged over time). He probably needed some help or support but it is what it is. I thought lutumlautus got unmuted but I guess not. At any rate, I could make a case for why Xeep getting muted is justified. Surely I'm not the only one who feels this way, but if this was any other forum, Xeep would've been banned a long time ago. Any forum has a rule that forbids spam and that's what all his posts essentially were. They didn't serve any purpose other than shifting the focus from whatever the original post in the thread was about to his unfunny self-inserts and stifle the conversation. That may seem harmless from the outside perspective but I remember the times when off-topic threads unrelated to DBPs saw zero activity and I think shitposting spam is largely to blame for this. I may be wrong, but here's my shit take for the day.

CittyKat112 I appreciate the self-incrimination but don't do that. The first part, i mean... dont call deathevokation or anyone a fucking idiot. You're both doom fans and there's not gonna be a lot of us forever so kinda cherish what you have.

Is it over doomerboardbros..? Gotta get your postcount to 1k quick or else I'm taking Rena with me.. infact I might just sabotage your lifeboat and take her with me regardless.. How? She's already with me and she's holding my hands right now and it feels so warm! Despite not having made a Doom map in like two years, she always cheers me on every time I try and use the editor!

I just noticed that the doomworld thread I linked back in May has been deleted for some reason. That thread was locked way back in April and still existed when I linked it in May. Sounds like a good old-fashioned cover-up!

The doomer boards forum could be rich with young hopeful promising mappers, and hot vampire goth catgirls that would fangirl over our maps. But the resentful conservative attitudes against progressive, non-traditional ideas, and emerging social trends are a powerful repellent for them. ![](https://i.imgur.com/3jDrTdJ.jpg)
