Power Hungry & Paranoid Maniacs

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

You proved my point correct with that statement.
And for the record, I didn't mature anything, I doubt I would have been promoted here if I weren't mature enough.
What I am used to is to deal with immature people, who have a hard time seeing farther than the obvious.
See, you consider me a trading supporter, when it's obviously wrong. Just ask many of the traders here, those hardcore ones. I'm just mature enough to understand that just because someone's choice is to trade, that doesn't make him a bad person, as so many immature kids out there think. It's their problem, not mine.
Though, as a representative of this site, which allows it to happen, I have to assure they are on a safe environment to do so. There would be no point keeping such sections alive if we didn't give a shit on the member's security. This is one of the reasons why I'm merciless with scum like those boys who come here try to hunt them down just to show up. No matter who they are or where do they come from.

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 the internet, and maintain a great posture to honour the site, is going too far on what we call the freedom of speech.
Too many of those who still are members think the exact same way.
Besides, as you probably know, I still have access to that site, and to those other sections which aren't supposed to be viewable by most people, so don't start me on this one, there are some juicy screenshots that if showed up would turn most members against that site. And don't make me talk about some scripts installed there too, you wouldn't be so happy talking about such place if you knew half of it.
It's just that I don't give a blind fuck for that site, for the people who still hang out there, and I won't be harassed to go through this again.
 
Here you can even have heated discussions with the mods and admins, and you don't get banned for that.
Don't expect other people to have special treatment just because they are "staff" at another site. There are hundreds of "staff" out there.

Here everybody is on his own.

I don't think there is anything free spirited or direct and honest about anything that you are trying to say dvdasacd...and you know this :P.

Lol...believe what you wanna believe but I disagree with you :P
Fearless,direct and honest is you(the guy who's brought it up)to tell us what they told you was the reason why cabalo was banned from cfs :yes:

Er, you misunderstand. I said I can't be bothered talking about the issue behind why he was banned. As for the actual reason, cabalo has already quoted the exact three-word phrase, which sums up a lot of stuff which doesn't need to be dicussed here. And not that it necessarily applies to this case, but: there's a difference between fearlessness, and going out and deliberately breaking rules...which is called stupidity. LOL. A lot of people seem to think it's the same thing and it's SO immature and boyish...give. me. a. break.

I think tranny is a great guy too, nice that you see that in him...
 
I tried to compromise, these didnt, it is pretty much that simple.

whether it was reality/tesco/skizo who had the final say i have no idea, i just know skizo was the spokesperson of it all.

But FST is FST, we all know the mods have no say, or at least not a lot, so i dont really see what you are getting at tbh.

I hate all this fighting between trackers and FST, I have tried my damndest to get at least some reportoir going, but failed miserably, they see it as us wanting control (just like this thread and caballo) we or at least me, just want some give and take, not all take.

Well, I thought it was obvious to you that I don't consider you a "power hungry & Paranoid maniac". The post was meant at those who are, and you know damn well there are plenty who fit such description.
I don't know much or anything at all about such agreements trackers had with FST, your idea of about creating the WTO, and probably a lot more things. What I do feel, things should have been handled (by both sides) with a little more thought, you included.
One thing is for sure, whether you currently like this place or not, I can't name one person of the people I know who doesn't respect you.

Don't they have access to a special discussion that the rest of us don't? Like the anti-trading discussion, or something? Whatever happened to that elite group of users of this forum?

If you don't condone trading, then ok, I was wrong with that assumption (...and whatevs). See I *also* know that just cos someone trades, it doesn't mean they're "scum" (or even can't be a friend of yours). They are just as likely to be a wonderful person in real life. It ONLY means that they are breaking a certain rule of probably 99% of their trackers. They disagree with that rule and that's their choice...it's nothing more than simple rules, it's not personal, like some staffers have seemed to see it. I hate the term "trading scum"...traders are people too :lol:

If you still have access to that site, then you will know that it has undergone huge changes as a community recently (perhaps the biggest progress in its evolution so far. Good friends of mine who don't really like the place have welcomed these recent changes very positively) - and that probably half of what you're saying and assuming about it is no longer applicable. Just check with your 'source', whoever it is.. (lol)....

Anyway what you think of that site doesn't bother me (me, I LOVE the place)...I am one to celebrate different opinions and freedom of speech (but I can't be bothered to talk about the issue behind why you were banned, that's a whole separate topic and I can already foresee a hypothetical conclusion to that discussion, that our opinions are simply different on that matter).

Anyway one thing I can see with you here, is that old hard feelings (towards people) often never change...and to that i say: mehz...I still think you've matured (or in some way I can't articulate right now, improved character-wise, lol). E.g., for me, you've kept the humor (:D) but shed a lot of the arrogance I once saw in your posts...(Edit: oh i know: there's more humility, respect, and restraint (from undesirable attitude) now.)...And I'm saying this because I am one to always be direct and honest (whether it's criticism or a compliment), as opposed to ass-kissy/afraid to say my honest thoughts (oh and this is my username EVERYWHERE). And I like how this is a place where one can be open to each other (including site staff) without being reprimanded for it - in the same way as the other place we're talking about ;).
 
so many people obsessed with private forums...! :rolleyes:

Seriously, one thing is discussing, another is talking about the same sites over and over again just to... show how much they suck and how great you are? :pinch:

What's the point?
 
I don't really think of Revolt that way, though I'm not a member myself I know plenty of levelheaded folks there. Just like FST, the site is judged by its bad eggs rather than the community as a whole (as are most places for that matter).
 
the great thing about fst is that there's real discussion and not just people agreeing with everyone else. but then we have this thread (and some others) as exceptions that prove that rule. a lot of people in here are agreeing with everyone about how great fst is and how much better it is than other sites.

now, i don't exactly disagree, and yes, fst is great in that respect and you get faster and more neutral info about the goings on of BT on FST than some of these other places.

but, i just want to offer a balanced perspective. it's not all roses. Cabalo said, don't expect tracker staff to get special treatment here. Well, don't expect tracker staff here to invite you to the hardest to get trackers either. you gotta take the good with the bad.

I'm saying that the overseers of FST are wrong in being inflexible about certain things.
Btw I have absolutely no problem with them firing me( or whatever the equivalent is that applies here) if they don't like the fact I disagree with certain things they have done.

Being nothing but a yes-man would truly be a pointless and useless position to have.

Revolt is nothing like CFS and FST.
 
yep, as long as their ppl to chat to and make conversation, i'm happy. :)
no need for private communities, even though i'm part of a few.
quite a lot of elitist jerks on private communities.
