You know, I have to say ..KFH should be unbanned. He was inflammatory in inflammatory threads. Was he over the top? Sure. But, cmon what do you expect from such threads as "Porn is ruining relationships" and "126 pound 3 yr old" and So on~ You remove the troll threads, you are left with a person who gave some legit input on our site and was loyal to the website. Isn't that what the website needs more of? Loyalty? Sure you need sponsors, but without all of us posting, its a very empty website to be sure. I agree there is a fine line, but implement new rules, give those a chance to either conform, leave, or get banned..
But I look in the LOLpics thread and see offensive words already, racist pictures (native american picture heres looking at you), and that will get nuked. I see a post where someone is blatantly saying F*** you mods, idc what you say. And no ban hammer? /blah.
To quote a good friend, "The internet is our last frontier for freedom of speech, and without it, we will be nothing more than obedient dogs who get lashed at the slightest form of civil unrest."
KFH was a freaking legend i loved his random posts
he'll the 126 pound 3 yr old probably had more racist remarks than the usual BNP march in bradford (search bradford riots on google and that'll make sense)
if you're offended by a person you ignore them (or b'list them), fact is mods felt the need to act.. and strangely enough.. its the newer mod(s) that seem to have to do it.. especially considering they were also part of the banter at one point
Like ive said i understand the changes i just dont agree with them, to be honest .. ive lost caring
That being said he wasn't even given the option to conform or say FU in his own unique personal charming way and leave..
He was himself and got banned for it after almost 25000 posts. IDK many who are that loyal to this site..
Now all I see is people saying thats it, im gone..
deleting a thread that gets million views...
What?
Let's all sit and be cookie cutter Brady bunch folks around the picnic table sipping lemonade and discussing the weather, that is still appropriate right?
I'm sure the mods/admins would love to have free speech on their forums, but with how much it costs to keep this website going (plus fix the bugs) they're doing all that without charging us anything and relying on donations and clicks from Ads.
Would you rather they charge something like $5 / month and have a lower userbase, or would you rather it be as is?
Right now, all they're trying to do is get rid of the nasty stuff. Lol pics was filled with many pictures that got by the censor. And this new Lol pics thread isn't really changing it until Krizz starts deleting some of those posts (seriously). They're working for free, basically. Don't expect them to do things right away.
I'm sure people will get banned soon, if not temp'd. (and KFH only got temp'd btw)
Also, stop blaming the mods. The mods are trying their best to keep this site open, while the users sit there in anger. BE GLAD. Stop being negative. Look at the bright side of things.

he wasn't remotely offensive, even though he put every fiber of his being into trying
he was unfunny, bland, and boring
that said it sucks that he was banned whether i like the guy or not
one is sorry if one portayed one's comments incorrectly.
to be honest you have to blame the mods to an extent.. i understand the role BUT
look.. one mod says these are the rules.. GO!
mods adhere to them
2 or 3 go wayyy over the top (lets delete this, lets ban this, lets do this)
Why dont they just wipe everything and start again.. that way they can police it.
im just ranting because its shitty situation for a few people.

clearly some people were offended and reported him... thats the point.. i didnt find him offensive a lot of people who actually "knew" him werent offended.. but clearly others were..
strangely all this came about after we got the earthquake trolls
I am sure people would rather pay 5$ a mth and have lolpics stay as is and feel free to speak. Am I saying some of the stuff he said was appropriate..hell no, the dude reminds of a black howard stern. But you know what? Howard stern is fabulous and millions tune in for his outrageousness, just like the lOLpics thread. How many people came to this site FOR that thread?
I see Machavillin (sp), Washburn, Nindo - many many people =/
I would gladly pay 5$.
I am not blaming anyone, but I do have the right to express my opinion, whether you like it or not..
I didn't swear, wasn't racist, and completely stayed within the new rules and regulations of the forum site.
With the way people act on these forums, we do need some sort of policing (seriously, people think this is 4chan and it's been really annoying).
Also, you guys and girls act as if deleting a whole thread and starting for scratch is a bad thing. Krizz is giving people til at most tomorrow to grab all the good pictures and put it in the new thread. But this time, it's gonna be moderated and all the bad pictures will be sent to the grave. This is what happens when people cross the line.
Even if FFXIAH LS Ni gets locked and sent to the disposal and allowed a new thread, just pretend nothing happened. It's not like you'll read the last 5 pages just to watch all the jibberish that goes on. Aka nothing will change anyways in these threads, just a bit more moderation in order to please everybody.
surely theres 1 bit of flaming on every thread on here?
it doesnt please me that i cant randomly "abuse" someone for the fun. They themselves arent offended but someone else might be.. so now we cant use innuendo's.. Im suprised i didnt get smashed for saying "damn scots" to sagi earlier cos technically its racist
Need to be careful .. meh i dunno.. i think it just be easier to watch what gets posted with the new rules rather than making things start afresh.. tbh i do often random pick a page on here and read through (when im bored)

/delete offensive pictures, stop removal of an entire thread that gets the most views?
Not an option?
Also not everyone acts like 4chan here - and the new rules are effectively putting a stop to that, the BLOCK button was implemented FOR a reason as is the under age filters.
For those who do not know how to block, you click on the BLOCK button located at the top right of the posted screen and hit OK!

Following this logic, we should just pretend the holocaust didn't happen? because we wouldn't want to upset the balance of the authority figures?

Things DID change and not EVERYBODY is happy. Note the loyal members LEAVING.
With much love and respect I am not trying to start some kind of war in this thread, I am merely trying to vent my anger and frustration.
I feel poor Krizz is a scapegoat for a lot of very unhapppy LOYAL posters, and fear that the number of active chatters will decline sharply, and the number of NEW members will not equal that number.
Hate to be in his green bar'ish shoes right now. D:

you're making KFH all mushy inside right now
lol not really. he's just front of people's minds at moment but id say same for quite a lot of people who got temp banned out of the blue

**i meant "try to make everyone happy" XD sorry**
Angel, the mods don't have the time to go through each page. Krizz has a daughter to take care of and has a life outside of FFXI and the forums. So does Aly, Anye, Scragg and Jaerik. They're not gonna make their lives harder by doing that.
It's not denying that the threads were never there, it's more of "let's just get on with our lives and keep talking and not worry about it." Deleting Lol pics thread part a is nothing like the holocaust.

hey some people wanted change bad. I can't count the number of times people have said "OMG you mods are so awesome for making all these changes" If you're upset now remember that change begets change, you did ask for it
Edit: As of 2010-10-05 14:48:06 CST, Ni reached 10,000 pages.
Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.
Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
