I understand Jimbo, these are the posts I would like to see from you. You have done quite a bit before you gave your password away and forced BF to shut down. The only reason you act like this now is because you dont really care much about the forums as much as you used to. However, LordNevar now manages Diablo II and he needs to be more active with what he does, Cheeze has brought this up with me about 4 times now.
As for BFH, I have talked about this with Jenny. BFH's ultimate reason he is one of the worst mods in history in my opinion, is his concept of seriousness.
Lets leave modding aside and look at how he displays the problems: He will start by mentioning it, then he will overreact about it when it isn't necessary. Then do a 40 line *****fest about it when the person is trying to tell him to calm down. This is EXACTLY what happened when Eric and Roach were running and Laharl was just a mod. Laharl basically had a LOT of problems with staff, and he didn't communicate properly with them about it, he also got extremely pissed off at those who didn't listen to him to didn't agree with him. That is eventually what led him to getting kicked off the team and off BF to create TTT as an act of revenge. If anyone in staff at the time either agrees or disagrees with this, speak now. I could probably prove that this is the root of the problem.
But the thing is, he just doesnt like ignorance A LOT. If someone manages to withstand his *****ing and see past that, he isn't THAT bad of a person. I managed to do it because I tend to see some good in any person, regardless how ****ty they are, and it is possible for anyone to do. However, I know nobody is going to like him again, after what he has done. The same concept applies to Vadriel. But because I basically gave them "powers" and its common knowledge by now that they are both my friends, everyone has the concept that I only make decisions based on people I like or dislike, rather not the member base. The only thing friendship does is add a minor enforcement for trust. If you can trust me, and you prove I can trust you, then there isnt a problem.
I am going to try to get BFH more motivated into content again, he seems to have some advantage there. If I put him here and it works, whats the worst he can do? As long as its within reason and he manages the board he was given. I will also try to limit the warnings/infractions he does globally to avoid nazism.
However, I need to stop making decisions that look like so. I did with Vadriel, and I just did it with BFH without telling you guys. And they need to realize that not all people here are ignorant dumbasses per say. They need to cut on thier severity and BFH should be more aimed towards promoting his D/D section. In the meantime, I think BFH should concentrate getting his R/D boys get into the game, or you guys can support that. The moment he gets his section fired up, he isn't a threat to anyone and he would basically just be watching out for his own section. Besides, Donny told him this last night.
And I need to realize I AM NOT running this show, Donny is. I was added to help post content and solve a problem with BF: Interesting things. Apparently, I got worked up in the drama and eventually lead this forum into argument after argument, which was pointless. So far, I haven't been doing that when I used to as Global Mod. I am not resigning or anything, I just am pointing this out as an apology you could say. And also admitting to a mistake, which is what a person should do when they do something wrong. However, I am still not making posts or ideas based off people I like or dislike.
Vadriel is just simply: Cease the actions or get sacked. It isn't really mature to flame the memberbase for months and bypass the swear filter just to get the attention of the ultimate problems on
battleforums.com. But it was my fault for not necessarily looking over what you guys were complaining about.
