I’ve been bullied by the same shit, constantly any time that time is given to repeat istself.
Why subject me to constantly?
You know who’s at fault.
Why not deal with it?
These people only really want to fuck with John Connar’s timeline.
Christ, I can make up shit to get them arrested for beliefs they will never understand.
We, as mortal, Stonehenge people ask for little:
Christ, I drank too much coffee and need the shits bad…
Trying to follow the rules set out. And still continues.
Proof don’t exist. He only want to point out it has some privileges here!!!
His leitmotif is to close some thread mostly for no reason. Could not live without it.
My threads would no longer that’s for sure. I’m not a fool to make new threads in order
to them this jerk closed!!!
+1
I noticed with huge surprise that this GREAT spaghetti western thread is now closed !!!!!!!
For god shake… Such a great thread…
This is an action that hurts forum, users and not Zvonko.
I really can’t believe that a mod acted that way
(I don’t speak theoretically, I am a mod in a much bigger place, I have dealt really serious situations, and I know. A mod uses common sense, a mod never quarrel with users, a mod keeps a serious level, a mod never says "You’all shut up" to users…)
To cut a long story short, Zvonko sometimes may seem overreacting, but it is not a big deal. If you had kicked this tapoktro user out of here, who is indeed a real shame for forum, calm and serenity would reign and no good user would complain. Justice would have been served. Just my two cents.

You are right, my friend.
Instead of a mod, we have a shit here.
He does not realize that he is there to serve us not opposite.
No. You’d have a buncha banned users. Admin are Happy to let sparky go at it. They are glad to let him, so no amount of moaning will change that.
Ok then please you take this job and everyone will be happy.
Despite the different views that we have, I’m pretty sure you’d be the right person for this job!!!
Of course if you have time & ambition for that!!!
… Any reasons why there’s such dictatorship? I mean, what? What the admin says go home, okay, but normally in forums, if there’s a group of people who want "a change" then depending of the case, for the well being of the users something would be done.. I mean, lots of people don’t like Sparky’s modding, obviously, it’s not just one, two or three. Any reason why you’d have unhappy users with a mod that doesn’t do his job right?
Having said that …
Who gives a shit? It’s words, not sticks and stones. It’s not like he rants randomly for no reason and as far as I can tell he doesn’t go out-of-his-way to annoy people or be rude on purpose. There is a thought process behind it all. He’s not just some ugly troll trying to get a rise out of people.
Also he hasn’t broken anything major that I can see. There’s been no egregious transgressions. No attacks on race or religion or politics etc.
In other words, it’s really not so bad in my opinion.
And let’s face it, he’s shared a lot of great music, including that rather amazing Spaghetti Western Thread. Being a sticky was nice but I don’t care about that as much as it being open. Remove it from sticky status (so what) but don’t close it. That’s a crime!
At the end of the day, I call him a friend, because we all have some good and bad in us, some more so than others, but at the end of the day he is more good than bad and he does what we all want here … share the music.
Anyway, I am posting this as my protest against the Spaghetti Western thread being closed. I would like to see it re-opened and remain that way.
Also, to the guy who spat "We moderators should serve you", never have I heard a bigger load of bullshit: technically speaking, we are volunteers, we don’t owe you shit. We don’t have to tolerate any of you, nor kiss your fucking asses. We are humans, too, so, do you want to be respected? Show some respect, first.

I’m afraid you moderating would make a big change; a change we wouldn’t accept at first, would maybe be even more ruthless than Spark’s. You are right, we are spoiled and we do things we shouldn’t at all. But, it may change the thing to better and I personally don’t think you can be worse than him moderating.

Well said.
I did not mean literally, I just wanted to say that we should work together.
It is a mission impossible until someone thinks he can do something for no reason, like closing thread with 400 uploads!!! That’s not only my thread.
Many people work so hard to complete collection!!!
I’ll have you know a few things:
– I’m ruthless.
– I’m worse than Sparktank, in the way that I don’t give a shit if users complain about my moderation. I will do what I’m supposed to, simple as that, are you happy? Are you not? Tough cookie, I don’t give a fuck.
What I’m going to say isn’t aimed directly at you, Ponyo, but I would appreciate it if some of you would think about this:
I’ve been here for more than 8 years and never, never have I witnessed this kind of crap stirred over Video Game Music/Anime Music Download Links; I won’t judge Sparktank’s actions as a Moderator, but you aren’t exactly the best userbase to work with.
So you want to totally delete that section, huh?
How about you stay as far away from it as possible, thanks.

You have a point, though, but sometimes the users should be taken in consideration; sometimes what a mod does is not really the best for users and maybe they don’t realize, but hey, the mod’s the law, so.. shit happens. I’m not saying about you either, or this forum, I’m saying in general or if it ever a thing like this happens. Also, no offense taken. I won’t deny anything. I’ve gone over forum limits sometimes.
So you want to totally delete that section, huh?

He’s not the only one. There’s a couple of people that think the same, actually, those are the kind of people who have been in the Shrine before the music happened, who remember this place to be much better without drama and legal issues or anything. I can understand them. But I honestly, really like the music part of this forum. I don’t think I could get what I get in this place, in any other. Not to mention the few bunch of good friends I’ve made here!
How about you stay as far away from it as possible, thanks.
Haha! Give me some credit, if I’d listen my gut, I would ban every annoying user which asks for a FLAC version of a release in the lossy thread, without bothering to use the Requests area (talking about basic Netiquette here). Still, I do get above such things, I’ve moderated this kind of boards for more than 10 years, I put my personal issues aside.
Facts are on my side, though, the worst drama has always originated over at Film, TV, etcetera.
@Ponyo:
I’ve created my account when Download Links was already "going strong", I’ve been a leecher.
To be clear, that was my point.
You do not need to judge about his work because you can not be objective.
Only ordinary members should assess your work.
That guy was wrong a million times. How long more?
Anyway i don’t open this thread he did it himself. Why he do that?
Maybe because he knows that did the wrong thing and now needs collegial support!!!
To be clear, that was my point.
Yeah, that kind of attitude could do no good though, a few innocent people who have no guilt could easily end up banned out of nowhere.. just because they asked for a FLAC in a thread that wasn’t request. Okay, one time gives you the ban forever? It could be a mistake, maybe they did not know. If it happens more than once, and having been warned, then it’s okay.
What the fuck is this, What.CD? If we’re gonna be THAT strict, I do want my awesome music exclusives here, too. May as well make this a exclusive forum.
I don’t see anything happening in that thread to warrant such an action.
I’m no expert but I’ve been on the ‘net since the early 1990’s, before web browsers even existed and people used usenet as forums, and in my forum experience, a thread usually gets closed for very specific reasons. Either it has no place in the forum or the thread is so old and hasn’t had any posts in ages or someone, usually 2 or more people, make various off-topic posts in the thread that take it in a direction totally different than the topic name and thread (up to that point) indicate. Also they can be closed due to excesses abuse but usually said posts are deleted rather than close the thread, especially in the case of a thread that is seen as still being viable (worthy of continued posts).
So again, maybe I’m missing something, but, I just don’t see anything to warrant the closing of the thread. Perhaps an explanation by the mod would set us straight. And I use the word "us" because I’m clearly not the only one here befuddled by this thread being closed.
Of course you are not the only one here befuddled
by the closing of the Spaghetti Western thread.
This is what we have here:
An idiot decided to close the Spaghetti Western.
How small he must be!
Then a colleague of his appears and declares:
"I’d personally nuke that whole area.
I’m ruthless.
I’m worse than Sparktank."
Who gives a shit what you are?
Just stay away from our Forum, if you have nothing
to say about your colleague’s pettiness!
My observation is that the moderation seems to be quite arbitrary – in some ways it doesn’t seem to really be about behaviour, but about the thread itself and some personal dislike of that thread. I have no idea if there’s any truth in that – it is simply the way it seems.
The spaghetti western thread and the Doctor Who Audio Drama thread seem to have been shut for reasons that don’t seem to warrant the actions. At least on the face of it – but the notices of closure or the messages are pretty skewed towards it being an action of personal distaste rather than a moderated arbitration. The Doctor Who thread was given a message that said it was a lawless frontier town and that Sparktank was sick of having to babysit the members – when in reality it is largely a bunch of fairly genial geeks sharing things they like. There have been moments of insane drama for sure, and it’s been ugly at times – but not for quite some time really.
The crux of Sparktank’s message very much seems to be that the majority of members pretty much stick to that forum. Whether that in itself is in the spirit of an online forum or perfectly understandable in an online forum for a niche interest in the first place is debatable I suppose – but if (and I emphasise if) it has been closed for a week ostensibly because of a brief slightly passionate exchange of opinion but really because the moderator doesn’t personally like the thread or a minority of people in the thread then that’s not moderation really.
Same with the Spaghetti Western thread too.
That’s just observations based on my thoughts – and I’m perfectly willing to accept that I’m second guessing in completely the wrong direction – but the reality is there are people being punished for the actions of a minority and no matter the reasoning that does seem very heavy handed.
Too many menbers here are self-empowered for nothing.
This won’t ever get a solution.

Oh, look here. We’ve got users who conveniently skip posts which don’t exactly "paint" them in a nice light.
Just this one time I’ll dumb myself down to your level: personally, I wouldn’t have closed that spaghetti western thread, not for that reason, at least. I would have downright banned the lot of you and be done with it. Why? Because it’s no secret that some of you don’t lose chance to give Sparktank shit, funny thing is that at least a few of you, high and mighty folks, claimed you were going to leave. Still here, why? EDIT:
You obviously dislike how things are working now and the administration is seemingly deaf to your complaints, I would leave if I were you, but hey, I’m no masochist.
If the price to pay for soundtracks is dealing with shitty attitudes, I’d rather forsake the soundtracks, not worth the hassle.
Too many menbers here are self-empowered for nothing.
You are the best example for self-empowered.
You’ll see just how much time will be allowed!!!

I wish I kept your PM’s where you blackmailed me about your threads.
All you do is shit on other members who don’t bow down to you.
I have to deal with you the most.
Petros is now passive-aggressive.
But you are just aggressive.
*mod
You keep doing that.
You keep calling me admin.
The Who audio thread had it’s share of drama, it was not "harmless". I cannot truthfully speak about the western one though.
Nice one lol 😉

If you actually look back, the doctor who audio drama thread has had some internal squabbles/Arguments.
they have been warned aswell, so technically the reason for its closure was because they did not listen, or obey the rules…..
:this:
Oh well thanks for clearing it up. Your detailed response was both informative and enlightening.
:facepalm:
Prove it or shut up.
Only for other people i’m not blackmail anybody. I’m not in that position.
I just refused proposal this liar to put WESTERN THREAD on his genious merged pinned topic.
He wants to usurp credits of other people. For that purpose, this genius has devised a plan to unstick all good
threads and put all together in his silly topic.
I even agreed about DIGITMOVIES THREAD. If you don’t have message maybe I still have.
In that message i wrote to not touch western thread because Jessie sticked that not mod.
From that moment start all the problems .
Before that day WESTERN thread for it was divine. He even helped me with some posts on thread.
So tell me finally jerk, reason for unstick & close thread?
I’m genuinely not sure why you think I am giving the impression I believe it is – I’m talking about one thread on a forum that I frequent on occasion that has been closed – there’s nothing proprietorial in that.
The Who audio thread had it’s share of drama, it was not "harmless". I cannot truthfully speak about the western one though.
As I said – ‘There have been moments of insane drama for sure, and it’s been ugly at times – but not for quite some time really.’
From what I see – and I have no idea if posts have been deleted or not – but certainly not enough drama recently enough to warrant the week long closure in my opinion.
Trumped by reports.
@Ponyo
This may even go out for good. That thread will be returned to its place, i promised you, because there is no valid reason for closing them. Such a good thing will not disappear even if I did it again. The only question is who’s going to reopen HE OR SOMEONE ELSE.
Z
Fairly sure Amanda’s post was directed at Petros.
Lol.
No man will be returned on it’s place. You will see!!!

sorry, I was speaking to a post just above yours. We were cross posting. I have no idea what happened in the Who thread, since despite starting it, I am unwelcome. Leon, Jessie stickied my custom art thread too, and told me it would remain so. Yet….ah well.
Fine – as I said I’m merely commenting that it seems heavy handed to close a thread of used by a number of users based on reports about one person – which is the impression you gave in your post about the closure – that one person was to blame.
It just seems like a disproportionate response

This is exactly what I am saying,yes.
As for the rest, Jesus. I shouldn’t, but I’m getting a kick out of it.

DOOMSDAY!!
a few notes if you guys want this thing to survive.
feel free to posts requests here but keep in mind we also have a requests forum.
don’t shit up the thread: don’t troll, don’t feed the trolls. if someone is being an asshole or breaking rules, contact a mod, don’t whine about it in the thread.
please create new topics for each upload in addition to posting them here: i know it takes an extra second of your time, but it’s much appreciated.
keep off-topic discussion to a minimum: this thread is for offtopic chitchat with fellow film score hunt thread fans. go nuts over there.
Self-explanatory. The smart guys went nuts with the off-topic, in a nutshell.
A lot of fun reads if you look through it.
The worst arguments. I think it was mostly about lossless quality rips.
About the custom art thread, I wasn’t made aware of it and after I unstickied it, there wasn’t any drama about it.
The film section has more stickies than it needs these days.
The mega index thread seemed like a feasible solution.
Since those were created, there are less reports and PM’s about those topics.
Weekly, the drama gets intense about those.
The trade-only thing, that caused the most drama.
Ah, sorry Amanda – this is why I don’t post in forums that much – it’s all ME ME ME 🙂
Many apologies though

Closures like this have happened before though.
I know and those closures were definitely unavoidable, I was around during that horrible drama orgy a few years ago – as I say – it has gotten ugly before, and it may again.
Just not sure it was that ugly this time.
———- Post added at 04:51 PM ———- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ———-
I am….unsure of where the idea that one can say or do whatever they want here comes from? There are clear rules, just not enough mods to enforce them. Yet.
Since those were created, there are less reports and PM’s about those topics.
HA-HA YOU TRY HACK AND MY PROFILE!!!
Man you really are a comical guy.
It’s do not you find it easier to ask from admin to banned me out instead to do things which you do not understand!!!

What? That has nothing to do with being a spy, you’re supposed to report such security breaches to an administrator. This is the second report about a moderator possibly taking unauthorized possession of a user’s account.
And there were no reprimend or consequences to him. Ever.
———- Post added at 06:31 PM ———- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ———-
He admitted that himself if you think I’m the other one
I TOLD YOU ALREADY THAT I LIKE DO THAT IN PUBLIC. CORPUS DELICTI
LOOK AT CAPTURE UNDER SPOILER AND TELL ME DID YOU SEE ARROW FOR LATEST THREAD OPTION.
However, the thing is, a mod exploited the forum just to have me banned as a personal vendetta, on his own, without consulting no one, outta nowhere, and he got no consequences or anything. What a mod. See? This is what I mean. He’s no good at it.
This just got too fucked up, even for my tastes. I need to talk with Jessie, why would he keep him around if he’s been the culprit?
EDIT:
@zvonko1510: I understand that, what I meant to say was talk about it also to the administration.
———- Post added at 06:44 PM ———- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ———-
I would assume, like I said, that Jessie keeps him knowing so because he’d rather have a controversial mod than no mod at all.
Remember one thing: I have never complained to anybody here even not that clown. He start this.
It would be funny if it were not sad. With this is damaged only people who waiting links.
And Leon….yea Sparky targeted Ponyo directly in public, Ponyo became a guest, then it all went away. And sparky was gone a few days too.
And there were no reprimend or consequences to him. Ever.
Sarah and I already dealt with it in PM.
I dunno. No one seems to believe that. I don’t know if I believe it. And that is the problem my friend. A mod needs to be believed in an accusation like this.
And? Is that supposed to justify anything?
———- Post added at 05:57 PM ———- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ———-
Ah well, who knows anymore.
You only see that when you view a persons profile.
How does that affect hacking?
Do you want my password in order tu try find LATEST THREADS over my profile?
… if someone is being an asshole or breaking rules, contact a mod, don’t whine about it in the thread.
But in the Doctor Who Audio Drama thread the reason given for closing the thread is that people reported someone for what they were posting.
From what I could see there is one person there whose posting style is sometimes quite abbrasive. And he/she seems to sometimes pick on certain people.
I’d have thought a warning to that poster was what was needed.
In the two posts on why the thread has been closed TheSparktank™ 2.1 actively encourages the other users of the thread to bully the offending poster when the thread re-opens.
I do appreciate that modding is a hard, thankless task. I’m appreciative of it and absolutely wouldn’t question it in normal circumstances.
But these actions just seem like an appalling way of dealing with it and only set up more problems in the future.
Simply listen to people once. Quit Sparky’s mod duties, put LSK. He’ll be happy, not babysitting us and we will be happy too. This simple.
No more lies, Jerk.
They dissaper on my profile at the same moment when i post note on my threads about closing WESTERN THREADS
and of course insulting you. I must google it my threads all day!!!
LATEST THREADS has gone from my profile only one time when the forum was hacked some months ago!!!
Simply listen to people once. Quit Sparky’s mod duties, put LSK. He’ll be happy, not babysitting us and we will be happy too. This simple.
You do NOT want Leon. Trust me on this. (no offense Leon, but….well.) Leon (and Darth Revan) despise this section. Neither will just leave us alone. Moderation in full is what we will get. Perhaps I shall moderate. Wouldn’t THAT be a hoot??
I can’t see "latest threads" on anyone’s profile picture.
You do know you can click your own profile and see "latest threads" right there.
I still don’t see wha that has to do with hacking.
I’m not even sure how you came up with that idea.

Were that to happen. In jest of course.
I don’t despise the Download Links section, nor the Film/TV one. My comment about "nuking it" came from the fact that over the years, it was the biggest source of drama:
– First we had a few dickheads in the "original" Lossless Movie Soundtracks and Scores thread act like complete pricks to someone who was mostly guilty of not speaking English very well, they pissed him off and thanks to him a few labels got notified and Varese Sarabande became banned material.
– The evergreen drama about recording sessions which we shouldn’t post openly on the forums, otherwise self-entitled elitists don’t get their holy grails in the wank me-circles.
– The FSM crap because of the Star Trek release.
– The simple fact that Movie Soundtracks and Scores are slightly less niche things than, say, Video Game and/or Anime Soundtracks, it could be argued we’re receiving a lot more DMCA takedown-requests "thanks" to their presence here.

I remember that German guy (at least I think he was from Germany). He was fucking insane so please don’t make him sound like he was some innocent put-upon person bullied by "dicks".
As I recall, and this was a LONG time ago now, the mods were of no help with him when it was clear he was flying WAY off the handle.
It got so bad that most of the active people on that thread left and formed a secret forum for lossless soundtrack collecting.
I’m pretty sure the whole forum lost function to see latest thread on profile pictures.
Just as the "like" button.
Don’t know about the messaging thing.

Consequence that attack: DOWN LIKE & SEARCH SYSTEM.
When all search system is down, it is normal that you can not use LATEST THREAD option eighter.
But then SARAH solve problem with search system and all option come-back until today, about 15pm when this all started.

The modding in that thread went from zero to over-reaction in a heartbeat. Yes the poster in question was confrontational and abrasive but nothing that a pm wouldn’t have solved and nothing that anyone was particularly reacting badly to. In general the thread was a civilised place to be and unfortunately the modding and the utterly bizarrely aggressive way in which it was implemented seem totally out of place. Just my five cents.
Even worse situation, he is responsible for it. In the dark how to stop me with posted certain message he fucked up all system. This option is missing yesterday when I posted the first two MESSAGE with insulting contents (about 16:00).If you don’t believe me, i will try to find for you GOOGLE evidence. Because i must search on google my threads for posting that message. I did it (search on google) only yesterday because until 16pm everything was alright.
I can very easily be heavy-handed, yes, but I’ve also seen userbase(s) overstep its goddamn boundaries way too many times. Look at what happened (and it’s still happening) here on the Shrine and tell me you don’t deserve a heavy-handed moderation while keeping a straight face, I almost dare you.
Meeting halfway? Ha! Damn fine work you did with that, users, almost every goddamn action here by Spark led to pitiful jabs at him and drama-bait threads such as this. Guess what, the moderators aren’t the only ones who should walk that road, you’re supposed to take a few steps, too. I’m ashamed of what I’m going to say, but when I’ve taken up Jessie’s offer to help him moderate the Video Game Music Download Links forum a bunch of years ago, I kinda expected this kind of crap from them. I feel like everything is turned upside down, they’re the angels (and I do mean it, guys and girls, seriously, I feel almost bored as a moderator), you’re the ones problematic.
Now, this is a small note for the likes of Amanda: I’m somewhat hurt by the fact you said they wouldn’t want me as moderator of that area, I wouldn’t make up rules on the fly, I’d enforce what’s already there, just like I should. Though I still stand by the opinions I made known in my previous posts, don’t underestimate me, I would act in compliance with the rules of this place, if there’s one thing I’m great at is casting my own personal issues aside when I’m supposed to be all business.
It is not about who has how much flexible. We need a man who knows how to do this moderating job, not this clown.
If it be someone with the strict requirements (as you have them) we will adjust. It is important only, that we know the rules of the game.
So please look my latest post on Western Thread and honestly tell me which rule I hurt to be closed.

and you in right: if someone violates rules it should be banned but hey my goodness, close topic with 400 lossless working links, without a valid explanation, that is act which is able to do only complete idiot!!!

If I had to look simply and only at Sparktank’s reason for closure, only one thing would come time to mind: bullshit driven by some kind of personal issue with you. The closure of the thread did look unwarranted, personally, though, I wouldn’t have been against the "un-sticky" things, but that’s because I was under the impression that we simply don’t sticky download links threads, regardless of how good and well organized they are.
@Sparktank:
Take this for what it is, a mere suggestion: get your goddamn act together. I personally don’t care if they guys bully you in Private Messages, someone’s posing a problem? Do what you’re supposed to and take the issue up to the guys higher in the food-chain (admins).
Also, I haven’t forgotten that thread you once created in Film/TV where you’ve lost your shit+insulted users of that area (heck, you’ve even made it a sticky, if memory serves me right). You do seem to get stuff way too personally, this thread here is another example of that. Consider to step down from your position, if it’s proving to be too taxing on your state of mind. There is no shame in admitting you may simply not be cut out for the job.
Ok but that thread pinned by Jessie. So tell me Spark is now above all you?
If he does not respect hierarchy, how can you expect that from the rest of us?
By the way i still can’t send message from time to time!!!
Leon, I did not want to hurt you. Can I fix the butt-hurt, or is the ass a total loss?:awsm:
Just look times for 2 latest post on that thread
zvonko 3:59 PM Thread 187831
spark 4:00 PM Thread 187831
This is his explanation ”You can bully the adminds into getting Sticky For Life, but not me…”
So tell me you still believe in that utopian story about conversation with admin.
What prove you still need?
Moderating is an ungodly tough job. Users often treat mods with disdain. But a moderator should never work without a cool head, and needs a skin thicker than anything. Now, I’ve been a member here for about 2 years. I don’t post much, I share what I can, I try and be a good, if quiet, participant. Over the last few months, what I’ve witnessed in the DW thread has been a level of moderation that has gone from Almost Zero to Practically Draconian since Sparktank made his first appearance there. On any forum, arguments happen from time to time, sometimes people work it out or get over it, and sometimes someone hits the report button, whether they should or not. A moderator has to judge the merit of such reports, not just issue a knee-jerk reaction. And the so-called "drama" that Spark shut the thread down over, really didn’t warrant such action. I can’t imagine any other mod on any other forum I’ve ever been a part of would have done the same thing in response to what was going on. At most, it called for some strongly worded PMs directed to one or two people, as only one or two people were getting in each other’s faces. Are warnings towards a specific user even something that happens here? Or is closing an entire thread the standard when one person makes an arse of themselves? Because the latter seems to be all that goes on from what I’ve witnessed and heard here.
As I said before, moderating is tough. It is thankless. It is emotionally draining. But if you aren’t up to dealing with all that justly, impartially and unemotionally, then you shouldn’t be doing it at all. I have to question the emotional maturity of any moderator that would start a self-serving pity party thread such as this.
Finally SOME sense. Sparktanks is a problem.
Moderate. Do what you have to. You don’t give a fuck what other users think. You do what you have to do.
Why all this drama? Why start a whole new fucking thread, FULL OF DRAMA?
I’m worse than Sparktank, in the way that I don’t give a shit if users complain about my moderation. I will do what I’m supposed to, simple as that, are you happy? Are you not? Tough cookie, I don’t give a fuck.
I don’t see Leon creating threads. I don’t see him in heated arguments.
Just suck it up, dude! Stop creating all this worthless drama if you hate it so much!
If he hates moderating this forum so much he’d have stopped already.
How many times has he left? Well, sorry, how many times has he threatened to leave because he’s so fed up of moderating this miserable forum full of miserable, whiny users?
If admins didn’t want him to moderate anymore, they’d have stopped him. Simple as that.
But since they don’t have anybody else moderating the Film, and TV threads, they don’t want to. Because that leaves Jessie on his own.
Why not get new moderators? Ever thought of that? Or maybe reassign some moderators to different areas?
I don’t know.
Which actually brings to mind a question I’ve had for a while. How does one contact an admin here? To discuss issues with a moderator who may have overstepped themselves. I looked a while ago when Sparks displayed his questionable decision-making skills and temperament a couple of months ago, and couldn’t find any means to do so.
Am I the only one aware of that place? It has direct buttons to send a PM to any mod / admin.
Apparently so. I appreciate the elucidation. It may come in handy at some point. Thank you.
because he allegedly working hard and responsible work here?
I have also one and daily risking dismissal because I use Company work-time to contribute
on this forum as I am doing right now in order to forward messages on time.
Now ‘patient’ moderator and that screw-up. I cant sent message when use company’s router.
I don’t know what is problem but i know when problem start. Yesterday about 4pm.
You may also need to be silent while he wages war with his own ego, like sheeps?
Or to applaud his ridiculous excuses and lamentations?
No!!!
Spark jeopardize his own integrity and also seriously undermines ‘atmosphere’ here, not to say that the contaminate.
Looks better say ‘good-bye’ to one mod than ‘closing time’.

I Knew the Doctor Who: Audio Drama Thread Had Been Closed. Why Has the Other Doctor Who One Been Closed? Thread 72196
That’s news to me. There’s little-to-no crossover in regular posters between the two DW threads, so closing one because of the other’s purported issues seems unlikely to have been necessary. An explanation would be appreciated, yes.

I Have yo Admit, Shame that is Closed. I Have Never Seen anything Bad there. Lots of Helpful People and Great Collections.
Yeah, I don’t understand it either. I have a few things that I’d like to share there but now can’t until the tenth… (That is, if the thread is locked for the same duration as the audio drama one) I’m not even sure why the audio drama thread was locked, Sparktank’s message seemed overly opinionated and very much unnecessary. It was just out of nowhere!
I can very easily be heavy-handed, yes, but I’ve also seen userbase(s) overstep its goddamn boundaries way too many times. Look at what happened (and it’s still happening) here on the Shrine and tell me you don’t deserve a heavy-handed moderation while keeping a straight face, I almost dare you.
Meeting halfway? Ha! Damn fine work you did with that, users, almost every goddamn action here by Spark led to pitiful jabs at him and drama-bait threads such as this. Guess what, the moderators aren’t the only ones who should walk that road, you’re supposed to take a few steps, too. I’m ashamed of what I’m going to say, but when I’ve taken up Jessie’s offer to help him moderate the Video Game Music Download Links forum a bunch of years ago, I kinda expected this kind of crap from them. I feel like everything is turned upside down, they’re the angels (and I do mean it, guys and girls, seriously, I feel almost bored as a moderator), you’re the ones problematic.
That’s what I mean when I say you and Jessie are not idiots: you’ve never decide to do anything without reason. As for Sparktank: I’m not completely sure anymore, maybe he has lashed out before when he shouldn’t have. I thought a solution
was found, I guess not. So what needs to happen here? Hmmm… I don’t know anymore. Should Sparktank continue moderating and get his act together? Should he step down and someone take his place? We will have to see I suppose.
Definitely have him step out of the mod place. He’ll be happy, he won’t have to babysit us and so will we be happy too not having to stand his terrible mod jobs.
Spark is to Blame For "Bad Mod Decisions"
We Are To Blame For Constantly Complaining And Shouting Out/Harassing the Admin/Mods.
No One Is Perfect, Just Drop It Now. Constatly Posting the Same Things Won’t Make A Difference.
You Have All Made Your Points And Now Just Get On With What You Come Here to Do.
Please.
i doubt sparky wont hesitate to get of the chair and let some else take all the heat 😉
He doesn’t want to because no other wants to take the job? There’s LSK. Or search another. Or no one. But get Sparktank off the job. He’s terrible at it. And does more harm than good. Literally the days he dissapear, peace reigns. He makes more controversy with his crappy decisions more than anything.
It’s actually been quite nice, not bothering to feed the fire here.
Watching from the side lines
you guys need to talk in a calm way with the admins (jessie & sarah) and propose a new moderator for the dl-section. also involve sparky.
he probably will add someone for the voting of a new mod… or not, idk 😉
after that a new thread can be created in which folks can volunteer to become a mod for the dl section. then we vote and get a new mod.
Spark always does that. Made a huge problem and leave for a day or two.
Yeah, let’s get serious, guys. Something NEEDS to be done. Instead of arguing or complaining let’s just move on to actually doing something.
Unfortunately they can’t because the threads they visit are closed.
How about you do the same?
We’re here to share and enjoy. We have no obligation to participate and/or create drama in this place. It serves no good purpose. Either you enjoy the ride or go somewhere else where the conditions please you. I think the voice have been raised loud and clear and admins and mods have taken note. If they do something, great. If not, that’s up to them. Whatever happens, it’ll not have a direct impact in my life or my happiness, so why would I go around making a fuzz?
Hugs and kisses to everyone. Cheer up and have a great day.
By which tricks? Mean to continue with sharing, when i can’t sent message?
You still wait to this (Thread 197206) because that MOD idiot.
Or may be you think that i need all my links explore in public for ‘TAPI-STEAL-GUY’ grabs.
It’s actually been quite nice, not bothering to feed the fire here.

Correct.
Hence why I haven’t been very active lately.
Nice sentiment, but film section is much more demanding.
Even before I stopped explaining things, people still wanted more. Nothing’s ever enough in the film section.
Jessie and Sarah are working on more mods for the film section.
By far the most tasking section on the forum.
I don’t mind the technical aspect of it, but it’s people like you and the obvious others that don’t make the human relations part acceptable.
Soon I won’t have to deal with the people.
I know, hence way I volunteered to help with that section, too. As I’ve implied, I don’t have much stuff to get done over at Video Game Music DLs, moderation-wise, so I might as well help elsewhere. Some users do need to be brought down a peg or two.
Even before I stopped explaining things, people still wanted more. Nothing’s ever enough in the film section.
I went through the same thing, in the past. Stop "caring"… For real. Don’t create these threads, don’t let personal issues dictate your actions. ‘Tis only an Internet board, is the administration okay with the way you are handling things? If so, be sure to make that known the next time folks/troublemakers show up, because by then the "blame" can’t be put on you. Users will either have to deal with it, if they plan to stick around, or leave.

Good to know that. I get the feeling that things wouldn’t have degenerated the way they did if Film/TV had a more active moderation ever since its inception; don’t you try to fool me into thinking otherwise, Film guys: there was a limit to how much Jessie could have gotten done on his own. You’ve been pretty much left to your own devices, that, in turn, ensured some of you stupidly lash out every fucking time the moderation doesn’t cater to your wishes.
You’re right.
As for what LSK says I need to admit that he’s right, that in other forums, or a any other normal forum per se, people can’t complain personally that much to what an admin does or says (I admit doing so, too, I’m not free of any sin) and I’m glad the admins are looking for options or mods to solve the thing. And I personally would like, if new rules would be made in place, so I can read them and be sure not to break them in any form.. since y’all know me and with more strictness, I honestly would rather not be banned if anything happened, though I promise to keep firm if good moderation gets in form.
I would like my point to be taken in mind though, that Sparky is not the most evil (though he has done bad shit out of personal spite but that’s different..) and he has done a couple of bad moderating jobs, and some right, and I’d also admit some users have abused him and complained and given him shit for things that weren’t his fault, or anything to do with him, or a result of his moderation. Still I’d like the point to be considerated, that he did wrong things. Some users did abuse the lack of moderation, but others were seriously complaining about things that Sparky didn’t do right. Let’s not blame just the userbase only.
Even the forum rules button at the bottom of the page don’t explain much.
A lot is left open to interpretation.
Hey, I’m a bastard but sometimes I reason. 😛 And shamefully admit my fault when I have to (and realize it)

Then it will be made so.
I’ve seen someone suggest making a poll to let users choose who they want to be the next Film, Television and Classical Music’s moderator(s). Now, I’m not completely sure of what will happen, but I ought to remind you that if a public poll is the way "it" goes down (unusual solution, by the way, especially on a forum of this size+active userbase), you might end up screwed over badly, why?
– Not only you’ll have to "deal with it" if the new moderator(s) end up doing something you won’t like (what with the recruit being your pick and all)…
– You’ll… Have… To deal with it. The moment you pick your moderator is the moment you forsake pretty much most "complaints-privileges" in regards to his/her actions.
I bet a "user-focused" poll suddenly doesn’t look like the best solution for you, now, huh? Aside from that, put here the usual boring speech about choosing carefully who you want to moderate you, if you’re given the chance (and I think it would be in your best interest to… Err… Interest as many users of that area as possible, in such poll). Cya!

I agree. Are you/the other moderators/administrators going to make a decision? Or will you make a community poll, of course… like you said… there are said reasons not to. Whatever’s to happen should work out for the best. Let’s hope it is so.
Well, I get the feeling we’re leaning toward making a community poll; it might give users some peace of mind (it would be a chance to see how many folks have the guts to make a choice and live with it), but even if it doesn’t, I’d argue it will certainly do that for the Staff.
Fuck the voting, this is not the Eurovision Song Contest. I am the new moderator. You can be assured by choosing my favorite poems, that I’m brilliant candidate.

I’ll be blunt, none of this shit happened prior to the download section being added. When you’ve been a member here as long as I have, you’d see how things have changed… and not for the better. I don’t like the download section, never have and never will (Ask Amanda, she knows my stance on this quite well) and I do think the site would be better off without… as well as having the main site updated (ESPECIALLY HAVING THE MAIN SITE UPDATED DAMMIT!!!!).
Why do I say that?
As I said above, we had none of this complaining constantly about which mod is worse, no one thanking for uploads, complaining about some user uploading a rip done by someone else… this site is NOT a ‘Warez’ site. It does have a somewhat negative reputation among the internet sadly… due to the download section.
But I digress… there’s another reason I was posting all the gif’s… to piss off jackasses like yourself.

But I digress… there’s another reason I was posting all the gif’s… to piss off jackasses like yourself.
Yes, this is all correct. This son of a bitch knows how it went down and what’s going down. I haven’t been long enough to know what he knows, but I know how it is.
You can’t just get rid of it. Suggest maybe making a site jsut for film music; but getting rid of it would be sad, nowhere else I’ve got as much cool music as here.

I agree with this also.

Yeah, okay, but I like the download section because I get beautiful film music right there.

There actually WAS a site for that… Galbadia Hotel. Unfortunately from what my hazy memory recalls, there was a lot of trouble (Cease and desist emails etc) and that it was taken down… then Sarah (I think) brought the download section here and… we have what we have now. Don’t know why Sarah or the any of the other admin abandoned the main site, as it was once a good source of info… now… smh
Besides, blaming entirely the download sections for what might also be a by-product of users simply growing out/getting tired of communities seems a bit unfair. I mean, I’d be hard-pressed to believe every single user left because of the focus put on downloads, let’s not even take into consideration some of the shady shit which seemingly surrounds the character of Sarah (and it has apparently been known for years).
The administration probably decided to leave the main website to rot because the big boss noticed he/she was earning much more money with the downloads.
EDIT:
I’ve registered here on November 15, 2007 and I can guarantee that mp3/stuff hosted on Galbadia Hotel was still downloadable back then (and it would be for a few years).

All I can say is that I agree. I wouldn’t like this place as much without the download threads and they are not completely to be blamed as you said before.
We should either enlist another moderator for the Film Music thread or one of the Mods of the VGM thread switch over.
"It’s the only, logical explanation."
I guess that improves the situation a bit.
It didn’t in the debacle with Williamtaylor1969.
It was mainly a FF site, this is true… but also a gaming site.

Oh, I WILL blame the download section. Before it was here, the amount of thread necromancy, arguments, abuse against admin etc etc was incredibly low. Since the download section has been added, there has been a huge leap of more of this shit happening (Case in point this thread). I personally don’t care what Sarah does in their personal life as it’s none of my damn concern. Something some OTHER people here should be doing, instead of witch hunting.

Bullshit. Galbadia hotel was the download site which ran separately from the forums. Then due to the influx of cease and desist emails etc, it was taken down, added here so leeches could post requests, download links etc.

You’ve only been here since the download section has been around, so you haven’t seen the change. A lot of the old guard left because they did not like the direction the site was heading, and yes… I’ve spoken with a few of them over the years via other means and gotten their reasons.

Well, I guess we have our differences…
Yeah! You know it! "Come at me bro!"
Up for another round of gif shoot out?

Didn’t you notice? The gif festival started again! Although, I did NOT appreciate Kevin Spacey’s attitude. :laugh:
Just wait for season 4.
He’ll come around. I guarantee it. :169:

Kind of, I realize the scene I posted possibly takes place the one you posted.

Oh… Ask Darth Revan, he’s been since 2003, he knows how it went down. I not exactly sure how it was in 2011 when I joined, but this year tops it. This thread isn’t about what it used to be, it’s all a gif rally now. 🙂
At the most I think I was only gone for a month or two. It’s amazing how much can happen in that time.
I’m not that active here anymore currently, but I still stop in from time to time.
Edit: Looking at my posts, looks like I was last online in early October.
Five Nights at Freddy’s… (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Nights_at_Freddy‘s_%28series%29) a indie horror series spanning 4 games. The lore behind them is pretty good… if not disturbing. Look on Youtube for Markiplier’s playthroughs (Others have played them like Jacksepticeye, Yammimash, Pewdiepie, Ihascupquake and others… but Mark’s better).

Honestly, even I don’t know how this thread grew… it started out as something else… but has now… mutated…

Who is this guy!? This is hilarious.
Markiplier.
He plays a lot of games. Especially quirky ones.
And it’s great when he plays with others.

Tight. Very tight. I’ll check him out.
Watch his Prop Hunt, Trouble in Terrorist Town videos (Specially the ones with Eatmydiction)… Mark’s playthroughs of the four Five Nights at Freddy’s games are great and he goes into detail how he gets them done (he has Fail compilation vids which are hilarious).
