Welcome, new Mods (announcement on page 9).

I won't say anything else because you've already say you'll lay off, but I'd seriously suggest you take a moment before typing stuff and ask yourself if your post may seem to imply that people don't know how to do their job or that you alone have the final say on the forum's decisions.

^This is exactly what I was telling you earlier, you often come off as condescending bordering "insulting people's intelligence", as if you were on some higher moral ground to be evaluating people or telling them how to do their jobs, and it's not even the first time you get called out for backseat moderating or excessive reporting.

Just to clarify willag, many of ANN users are American/Canadian (that include me) so we don't use arsehole[...] because American and British/Australian English are different

you'll be surprised, a language barrier does exist between American and British/Australian English

as if the fact that a lot of this forum's users are American or Canadian were something she wouldn't know, the differences between American and British English were something unknown to hell or as if the average American/Canadian wouldn't know what arsehole means.

Then when he said

Quote:

as if he was enlightening me to this mysterious undisclosed information that most people wouldn't be aware of.

And then the whole wanting to monitor moderators to make sure they're doing their jobs and that Zac and Tempest had made a good decision choosing them debacle, as if the admins weren't able to make that judgment by themselves.

Then there's also the millions of times when he's implied that ANN forumites are K-haters or closeminded japanophiles for not having interest in his endless K-stuff diatribes (which he has thankfully toned down, and I'll give him that)

It's very likely that he doesn't really mean it, but I really can't help but feel he's often talking down to other people because of how he phrases his posts.

As far as the ban, I would've agreed it was an extreme measure if it had been just that first post, he should've let it die with the willagging joke, but he kept going about it for a whole page, so I do believe it was necessary.

If I ever got a warning from Zac himself I'd be shitting bricks and salting my doorways.

Even if Zac didn't ban me, I would've put a self-imposed 3 week ban on myself. Zac may have put a 2 week ban on me, but I decided to put myself an additional one week to make sure I learned my lesson.

Uh-huh... There's a point in an apology where it just runs on too long. This is about it.

There is no such thing as a "self-imposed ban." There's just you clicking the log-out button, and not logging back in for 3-weeks. And then there's you personally PMing Zac to suspend your account for three weeks. The former is...well, not logging in for three weeks, the latter is a "self-imposed ban" Quite a few people do the former. Absolutely no one ever does the latter.

So yes, I would've been one of the few people to not log in for 3 week if Zac didn't ban me, I take my mistake seriously.
