Telltale Games

taumel · 02/09/2011, 01:19 am

@Icedhope
I guess i a.o. believe into the freedom of opinion and the ability that people who are having a discussion in most cases are able to deal with it on their own without beeing inteferenced by some self-appointed good taste police. And i think this way for mine as well as for other posts. Actually you can learn quite a lot from such experiences but you need to have the greatness to let things go and be tolerant which again aren't attributes you can find this often in the world.

*Icedhope* · 02/09/2011, 01:30 am

Believe me, I understand completly and yes you should be able to state your opinions, and me as a person. The only reason I deleted Dashing's post was to not start a fight with someone when their posts seem aggressive to the other party, and or instigating a fight. Between people, and or deliberately insulting them. I am not a fan of that at all, Avi I don't know why your post was deleted unless it was about dashing, I'll look into it.

*Vainamoinen* · 02/09/2011, 03:19 am

Avi's post indeed was deleted by me, I apologize. The reason was just - after all, this discussion path was to cease, but I should have been more upfront about it and not leave empty messages behind. This was my ill-fated attempt to clarify that these messages were deleted. Their mere non-existence did not hinder other posters to draw on the issue again and again.

I'm very willing to discuss such decisions, but it'd be a PM thing only.

This discussion led nowhere but to a flame war, and it therefore had to stop. I think that the relevant "sides", if there were any distinct sides to begin with, have stated their opinions loud and clear. We're done with it now. Such a discussion, in such a thread, kills its purpose. I wonder when the next pic will ever be posted. Same thing goes for spontaneously insulting forum members because_of_their_looks. It's unbelieveable, but this was actually going on in here as well.

/edit: Here we go. A wonderful picture by a beloved forum member and she deletes it instantly, quite possibly because of the present discussion. GREAT. Don't do that! Post it again, please! Bring us back on track!!

Maybe it would be best if you would stop beeing a moderator, at least for some time and read some books, for instance about former east germany.

*Vainamoinen* · 02/09/2011, 05:24 am

Yawn.

*GuruGuru214* · 02/09/2011, 05:44 am

Aww, Puzzlebox deleted her post? She looks nice with glasses.

Here, for the sake of getting this thread back on track, I offer myself up in my soon-to-be current state.

Godwin's law variant!

Me too, I wasn't keen at all on the decision to delete that messages, but I find this is a little exaggerated: none is perfect, and I think hard-working moderators especially deserve some error space.

I'd like to add that I think Dashing's deleted last message had a good point (I read it before deletion). He/she was rude and oblivious to GuruGuru's attempt to "make peace", but a good point nonetheless.

And now, back on track:

Try again, it's a very low-light picture of me in bed. Been trying to fall asleep ever since I posted it. No success.

Why did it get deleted anyway?

@Coder of low Moral Fibre
I doubt that this and other cases happened due to that someone was working too much or anything like this. I think these things happen more on purpose, may they be motivated by TTG or by the sheer misuse of power which slips in after some time. Sadly those who are more immune to such human defects also never apply for such jobs.

I never asked a mod to delete your posts tamuel.

*Icedhope* · 02/09/2011, 11:21 am

Guys this thread is about posting pics and commenting on them...so let's try and get back to what it was, alright?

*GuruGuru214* · 02/09/2011, 11:38 am

I'm trying!

...Maybe I've been playing too much Kingdom Hearts after all...

Hmm, maybe it's the choice of frames?

Now who's undermining the thread? Huh?

On the other hand, now you have me wanting to resurrect the Telltale Cribs thread.
