Power Hungry & Paranoid Maniacs

freedom of speech and individual privacy.

Which DOESN'T happen anywhere else. Period.
WRONG :P

uhuh, I'm talking about the place you were banned from, though, funnily enough (as life goes), you've seemed to mature a lot since becoming mod here (which is great. I nearly threw up when I first saw you become mod (since I value FST), but I really like your posts these days despite disagreeing with FST's and your stance on supporting trading etc), so being banned from where I'm talking about doesn't mean anything to me.

Anyway my point is: There are other bt forums with exactly the same traits which are being celebrated about FST in this thread, too ;).

Sorry to burst your bubble :P

er...long live FST? :whistling
 
I for one understand why Stoi could be pissed as I feel he and other ex Comm Reps were screwed pretty much. Even when I was staff I didn't support that decision and I apologized for it happening. It always seemed they wanted to treat ALL tracker staff the same way even though some tracker staff, like stoi, were better to FST than others and should have been given more respect.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but one of the foundations of freedom of speech is not penalizing people for promoting ideas( short of criminal activity ) you don't happen to agree with . I think that is basically at the core of the whole idea.:unsure:
 
And by the way, that site sucks. Once an admin bans someone because he is "not CFS material", it says a lot. A site that tells their users how they should behave out there on

It wasn't because a certain tracker staff told them to ban you(maybe he told them you weren't "right" for the site), and the staff fell in line and did it?
 
I know, it sounds hypocritical but it didn't have anything to do with freedom of speech or promoting ideas....unfortunately I'm not allowed to go into the details and wouldn't deem it appropriate even if i were anyway.

Again, my point was: ^ :P
 
The only reason i have not talked to anyone on MSN, is simply because i do not have an MSN account, I used to years ago but i forgot my password and the answer to my secret question, and i just cant be bothered in making another one lol

Like i said though, the decision that was made, was made, i am not bitter about it, the reason i did not come here for awhile recently had nothing to do with FST really, it was factors outside of FST, but i will not go into details here, i have told the people that need to be told and thats its for me.

maybe i am naive, but i just really think it can and should work both ways, now like i sid, i am not after Ips or emails ot crap like that, just a little bit of give and take would be nice, but i am afraid all i have heard for the past 2 years at least it "we are FST we dont have to take any notice of trackers", which in a way i do respect, but putting up a brick wall to all suggestions, makes my head hurt banging on it lol (so now i dont bother).
 
Stoi, you're not naive you happen to be one of the most level headed dudes around. I was on a mission for the longest time trying to make FST a better place, but all i got for it was shit from tracker staff and later shit from FST management. I resigned myself to the fact that was thrown at me so many time by friends. FST is what it is and will not change. Accepting that has been tough but I'm glad I have. The crappy thing is that the tracker staff that give a shit about FST are usually slopped in with sites that attack our members and given the same treatment. It's a shame really. FST could be so much better that it is/was.

What? Do you want me to make one for you?
 
Well i have nothing against the staff, again this is me personally i am not the speaker of every tracker out there, and that includes reality, tesco, skizo, you or cabello and others.

but you are a BT mod, you have to tow the line the higher uppers ask you to, if not you get booted from being a mod, now you may not like trading, but you have to allow it (you may like it i dont know lol) but that to some tracker staff, makes you just as bad as the higher ups.

Now i would never ban a member or a staffer from here for just being a member or a staffer from here (because i would have to ban myself for one) but i know some trackers do.

Honestly for me, all this trader hunting has just got silly, now not every tracker goes hunting, but some do, yes i think its wrong (trading), and it shouldnt be done, but we have gone to far into it now to change a lot of peoples minds, and banning them doesnt help, they just trade and get back in again.

to me its like when they take a site down, they say well at least we got rid of 1, but then another 10 spring up, its better the devil you know as they say. (if they never took that 1 site down, those 10 would never have appeared).

I am the wrong person to ask for that question tbh, i am just relaying why i think other trackers hate this place and the staff, i may be completely wrong, i dont know, but thats how i see it.
 
This quote just made my day. :D

Thanks, Cabalo.

You made this whole thread to hear cabalo say that staffers have no control here...... :dry: lol

I think the true beauty of this forum is the fact that people are treated the same as staff members as almost equals.
 

That kind of mentality forces members to start behaving artificially and the whole sense of free-discussing is thrown out the window.

These guys tried too hard forcing their community to behave Elite, and I guess everybody got tired of it cause last I heard their forums have been dead for quite some time.
 
I wasn't even referring to the trading aspect ,I was more referring to the general give and take.
Most working relationships are based on comprise .Those that fail to see that probably fail to maintain any.

When you are 6 years old you can afford to live like that, as an adult you can't. Of course in my experience a lot of associated people operate on the level of a 6 year old( not speaking of you here) so I can see the problem.
