New Generation of Links (Group)

[Linkwearsgreen]

Anyways, Rain is not joining.

 

[chris the brawler]

sorry no chis

and here is the reason:



the mods have gone to far(the reason why we left), its like they want the link boards dead, giving infractions without warning first is just stupid........

thanks alot for clearing this up. anyway im sure there is a way to fix this. it's not like we'll run out of Link mains lol!

 

[Linkwearsgreen]

So far we have 12 left sticking with the old generation.

but just to make it clear, the old Links left because the mods were... being unfair, but this is a chance to fix it. if they ruin this, IT'S OVER.

The mods closed the tier lists because there was a chance that there would be fights about it. We're not making a thread like that, so they really can't close this down.

 

[Conviction]

Coming from a person who used to hang around here in the old generation towards the end... we get thread closed and infractions for talking about the mods.

I wasn't insulting them or anything. Aren't we on their side or something since we didn't leave?

 

[chris the brawler]

closing this would be the worst thing to do, we're "offering peace" lol.

You guys have made the Link section even worse.

 

[chris the brawler]

[Linkwearsgreen]

You guys have made the Link section even worse.

Mission Accomplished.

 

[chris the brawler]

he doesn't know what he's talking about. he's blaming us for the damage the old Links did before they left. AND IT'S NOT HELPING

 

[Linkwearsgreen]

Yeah, I could easily report that as flaming...

 

[Bandit_Kieth]

i just dont see, why the links who have remained at the SWF who have been around before cant just help these boards get back up and properly flowing like it used to..

they just want to make things more difficult

 

[Tektite]

You guys have made the Link section even worse.

Good. Now shut up and go back to your AiB Link Forums.

 

[chris the brawler]

Good. Now shut up and go back to your AiB Link Forums.

um.. yeah pretty much.

 

[kirbywizard]

such a pity, this reminds me what happened to hyrule at the end of wind waker sad, every kingdom shall fall.

 

[Camalange]

Come on man, there are still amazing Links here. Me, Chris the brawler, LinkSpecialist, and I'm sure there are others.

Well...judging by all the epic lulz I've had just from reading this thread...and having my IQ drop by all the pointless spam and sig shenanigans...well...good luck, LOL

 

[Swordplay]

I just got two infractions just for this thread. *sigh

The reasons why we left.....Mods just hand out infractions when we tried to start a conversation.

 

[Bandit_Kieth]

Camalange, if you have nothing constructive to say, go away pl0x

 

[chris the brawler]

Well...judging by all the epic lulz I've had just from reading this thread...and having my IQ drop by all the pointless spam and sig shenanigans...well...good luck, LOL

this is a thread for disscusion or talking, nobody said this has to be serius, judging the Link boards from this is just plain stupid. and thanks we'll need it.

sorry but Cam's right and this board is shattered anyway.

 

[Chis]

Yeah, Cammy's correct. Bah, good thing I have an AiB account though. Good luck

I defy you to cite an actual instance of this.

You guys need to seriously just GTFO. Again, you guys hang around SWF quite a bit for having "left" and "moved to AiB". You're welcome to "come back" to SWF if you want, but I will start handing out infractions if your primary focus is to return only to mock the other Link players who are working to fill the gap here.

yet someone can say this? I understand you want to help but really? they're kinda doing the same thing. not trying to start an argument.

Did I not just cite one? cause if that isn't 1 there are other instances. I'd have to dig but I could find them.

Personally, I am involved with other forums of SWF.
Any chance the we would come back has been halted when you became an admin buzz.
To top it off. We don't even feel safe using the forum dispute section now that you can look at it.

You expect us to rebuild our community in these conditions? You destroyed a community Buzz. And from our view, you got promoted for doing it. It sends a message that SWF just hates us.

You may say we are welcome to come back but before you were an admin we through out countless suggestions to fix the problem and they were ignored. You can say what you want about making it a better place but actions speak louder than words. There isn't much to talk about with Link, he sucks. So when we attempt to engage to community in a different way that is viable for a lock?

O and by the way, if you were consistent in locking threads then this would be locked because it does nothing to do with progressing Links metagame. It's just a bunch of spam that YOU are participating in.

Shame on you. It is not us who needs to GTFO Buzz. It is you.

No, you cited nothing. You made a generic "mods infract us" statement.

Because you want to complain about me specifically? I don't lock/interfere with Forum Disputes threads. If you post there, other admins will see it and respond. So, I can only assume that your complaints are about me specifically and not the actual situation.

I locked your tier list thread. It's really sad that your entire community revolved around that one thread. What else did I lock? What else did I destroy?

We always welcome suggestions. However, making a suggestion makes no guarantee that things will change to accommodate you. Which suggestions did I overlook? As far as I can tell, the only suggestion was "let us break the rules to better our community".

O and by the way, if you were consistent in locking threads then this would be locked because it does nothing to do with progressing Links metagame. It's just a bunch of spam that YOU are participating in.

Cite the threads I was inconsistent in locking. I lock threads that violate SWF rules. I never lock threads to gratify my own pride or spite you. Plus, I wasn't the only one lockings threads. So, I'm not sure why specifically I am the target of your hatred. Youko? Mic_128? Remember those smods?

Shame on you. It is not us who needs to GTFO Buzz. It is you.

Hahaha. Yeah, I'll leave... and another moderator will come in and do the same thing.

 

[chris the brawler]

um... this is getting outta my hands. all i a can say is, pretty much nothing. i don't wanna get personally involved in this, il just do whatever i can to kepp these threads alive.

 

[Swordplay]

I'm taking this to PM to avoid a spam argument.

Because I'm a responsible and mature adult.

However when I said that thing about locking this thread and on other subjects, wasn't referring to you buzz. I was referring to SWF consistency. I just want other people to note that fact.

O and if the tier list didn't come back and it stayed locked you wouldn't be hated. IT was the fact that SWF allowed it to come back AGAIN and then RE-LOCKED it again that really fueled the hate towards you.

I really hope this isn't the source of everything.

First off, the second list was created by someone else entirely on the grounds that "he got permission from a mod to make the Ganon tier list". Not only could I never get a straight answer on which mod was responsible for that authority, it technically does not matter. It makes no sense that just because some moderator managed to say "yes", it somehow locks out all other moderators' from doing their jobs. Moderators do not have omnipresent power to overrule another moderator (especially one who is enforcing the rules). And again, I never had a moderator PM and say, "Hey, I authorized those threads. Think we could let them linger?"

Mic_128 locked the Ganon tier list because it violated the rules. No moderator confronted him either. It sounds like either Ray lied about receiving authorization, or this moderator is flying below radar because he may have made a mistake (not being aware of former rule #7). Does that make sense? Members never have the right to recreate a locked thread without first seeking approval. Ray sought no such approval. He just figured that since his Ganon list was legal, he could wander in and make a Link version.

 

[chris the brawler]

i think the Links should come back. if not please unsticky the Link finder

LOL it is a MAJOR source of everything. It was the last straw that made everything explode. Sure things had built up to that point but what happened here made it seem like a conspiracy. We thought possibly a rogue mod or mistakes in moderation which we had never seen before appeared so suddenly in so many places that created a backlash.

Think about it. Allowing a Tier list to go for like 77 pages before locking it? 77 pages of something that breaks rule 7 is a HUGE MISTAKE IN MODERATION. When all the mods suddenly just show up we were caught completely off guard and came up with conspiracy theories. I mean, how could SWF allow rule breaking in a forum to go on for such a long time when mods visited our forums to sticky and unsticking things.

I argue if the situation was handled more gently with explanations this would never of happened. SWF provided explainable on why it broke the rules and that is good but never on how we got to that point.

I'll state this to the public and out of our PM. One of my main suggestions was to make mod rules visible to the public in some sort of form so we can hold mod more accountable to prevent conspiracies and even feelings of conspiracies.

K I'm done here anything else we can do through PM. I'm really trying to refrain from spammin. Besides, I have a chicago bulls game to root for......

Edit Okay I got your PM message about my idea thing and I can see your reasoning and understand if it won't be implemented. I'll just say on my way out that if we had that, this probably never would of happened.

 

[chris the brawler]

well, this is actually helping alot to understand the source of this, witch is the main reason why this thread exists.

Thanks Buzz, we must be doing something right if we have a mod backing us up here.

So I guess you can say this thread is...a LINK TO THE PAST LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
