Kudos Unbeliever

I just feel that it's important to say that I think it's great with what Unbeliever is doing with the boards at the moment. The forums do get messed up at times with people posting in the wrong places and it's good to know that things are being tightened up and enforced (and god do I hope I'm posting this in the right forum lol).

I know how some people might think it's harsh to have their topic closed and to be suspended for 3 days but firstly, the rules aren't that difficult and if everyone follows them then the community will benefit from it, and secondly I've been with AS for a long time and the rules that exist now are excellent compared to what they used to be.

The main thing about this community is that it allows people to help each other and provide information about customization, technology, etc and if the rules get followed then that information is so much easier to get access to.

Another reason why I wanted to make this post is because I feel for Unbeliever, I really do. I've been a moderator for forums before and it's not easy, and when it gets to the point that the boards are getting messed up too much sometimes you've got to be harsh when enforcing rules. It's not pleasant for anyone, even the moderator, but it needs to be done. It can be quite depressing and frustrating for moderators and it's never nice to do something that can leave you looking like you're the bad guy.

So I think it's important that people see and respect what it is that Unbeliever and the rest of the guys here who run Aqua-Soft are doing for YOUR benefit!

Keep up the excellent work guys! :)

Well said...

#300843

Yes i totally agree ...this man is doing one hell of a job on this forum....he deserves the medal of honour

#300844

He's a good mod, but he has his moments where he goes overboard a tad... At the end of the day its just a forum,

#300846

Gimme a U!

Gimme an N!

Gimme a B!

Gimme an E!

What does that spell?

Unbe!

Yeah, he's a great moderator here. And at Aero-Soft, when he has time.

#300852

yes but this forum has real people and real situation so close to what happens in the real world

#300853

I like unbe. He is a cool guy and reminds us that these forums aren't happy land and that these forums are still forums.

'He might go a little overboard but life sucks...deal with it !

#300857

;) - Unbe is doing a terrific job, i agree :)

Im proud of you, son :P;)

#300861

Unbe has an ego. Decent mod none the less.

edit: Crap! He'll probably forum-rape me for this or ban me.

#300862

Seph is just happy he doesn't have to mod worth crap anymore because unbe does it all. hahahahaa now you know what I've been like for the past year

#300863

He is great!...I'm still using his samurise skins on a regular trip to the old desktop...he is the master we have to follow. Rude sometimes...that's his job...respect unbe!

Hope the puncuation was correct on this excersise!

Best regards m8!

#300865

ubie is a one man modding army ready to pwn any n o o b who dares to break a rule. and for that, i say good job. and keep it up son.

#300879

He's a crazed power-hungry Serbian, high on Mountain Dew. Enough said.

oh keep up the good work. :P

#300881

He's like Judge Dredd,

the judge, jury, and executioner all in one!

oh yeah, might have been framed for murder and played by stallone too...

In all seriousness, he does a great job.

#300882

Yes I know what you mean Unbeliever is what makes me don't like Aqua Soft it's good there but he brings the fun down He closes every thread I make !

@Unbeliever: mad.gif

Surprisingly, there are still someone do not like Unbe. The above is quoted from someone post at osx-e forum....

#300887

No comment...

#300892

I would like to give thanks to all of the people that run these forums. This is a really great community and it is always growing. A big thanks goes out to all of the mods/admins, news posters, testers, themers, designers, and general members of this community. :D

#300896

Well this made my 6 am awakening a much more pleasant experience and even though, as the ultimate evil some people portrait me (which is not far from the truth :P ) i should close this thread and ban you all, i won't ;)

The thing is, Tim & the people who hate me are right sometimes. I do get over the line yet my patience is not unlimited. When I post a sticky where I ASK people to post in a proper sub-forum and explain to them why this is necessary just to see them disregarding that plea, i lose patience with them.

In the past, i may have been a power-hungry idiot, but now i`m one frustrated mod. Why?

Because i remember the good, ol' days of Aqua Soft when i was a n3wbie and made mistakes like all n3wbies do. The difference is, when i was first suspended by contra for not tagging a thread, i waited for my punishment to end and returned to my old posting style, cause i didn`t take the time to think why i was suspended and what i did wrong. Next time i was suspended by contra for not posting in a proper sub-forum, i PMed Goku (praise Lord Goku!) and politely asked him what was going on. And he, in his ultimate wisdom gave me one piece of advice that forever made my forum life easier - follow the rules.

That was the last time i made a mistake of posting in a wrong, sub-forum or posting an untagged thread. Why? Cause i realised how easier it is to find answers and things in proper sub-forum. How much easier is for me (and other people) to see what a thread is about if i tagged it properly.

It`s not that i stopped making mistakes, but then, they were mistakes. If i posted in a wrong sub-forum by mistake, i would PM a mod or edited my post asking for it to be moved.

Nothing has changed to this day.

As much as some people hate me, and as much some people like me (for which i am grateful), i cannot and will not change. My duty as a mod is to keep AS clean and enforce the rules, whether people like it or not. I have NEVER suspended anyoone who didn`t deserve it, nor did i close a thread without a good reason.

The bottom line is - follow the rules, and we can be best buddies. Break them and you will have to be punished accordingly.

Now i have to run before my boss catches me surfing instead of working >.<

hmmm interesting set of comments there....i personally have only been suspended once by Unbe but that was because of a mistake i made...so all in all i think Unbe is a good mod becuase he takes care of the forum....but it looks like as more people are joining the forum (as ****s or idiots in their own right) Unbe is having to do a lot more clearing up....it seems to me that unbe does most of the work cleaning up these forums so i think the aqua-doft community should perhaps appoint more mods or other mods should do some of the work that unbe is doing.

Well thats all i have to say....if i've said anything outa line just pm me about it (i seriously hope i haven't) overall i think Unbe is doing a good job. (Btw before anyone says anything many of the above statements are my opinions not requests or demands!)

edit: ahhh so thats what they replace with stars lol....i never knew that - my mistake

#300913

it says balls on your face

#300914

what? (character limit)

#300915

I completely agree....sure there are some times where I will see a post closed followed by one of Unbe's smart remakes and think to myself what an ass, but I must say that this place is pretty well organized. I think he is doing a great job. If you compare this forum to MacNN forum....there is a huge difference. While I love MacNN forum, it is a total mess. I know that Seph is probably killing himself when he sees their desktop thread! ;)

#300920

I have always admired Unbe and whatever he is doing.

#300932

I think Unbe is biased. Hell, I hardly ever follow the rules and I'm still here ;)

#300973

I think Unbe is biased. Hell, I hardly ever follow the rules and I'm still here ;)

Way to ruin my good reputation Harry ¬_¬

Anyways, thanks both for the kudos and hatefull PMs guys :)

If you think i stepped over the line in the future, feel free to PM me but PLEASE check the rules first.

And if you have a grudge about the rules, Stevie & Tim are the right people to b1tch at :P

@ Seph - now it`s "I'm proud of you son!", but when i ask for love and affection it's "Daddy's busy, go away" or some weird "away" message in japanese :cry:

No wonder i`m such a screw-up :P
