Title: I DONT NEED HELP ANYMORE!
Post by: RMSGreatBritain on February 28, 2009, 09:34:15
Hi guys, My Friends of this community, I need help,

Im a member of another forum called TheFootballForum. I've been a member for about 2 and a half weeks. All was well and I was getting on with the community, when yesterday there was a problem. You see, because Im from and support Ipswich, My username is Ipswichian. So yesterday someone mistook me for being called Ian. I explained that I wasnt, and that ipswichian was like mancunian or cumbrian. So everyone started calling me Ian, which was fine, a bit of banter did me no harm. But then a admin called Forever Gold took it one too far by changing my username to Ipswich Ian. I was a bit annoyed about this, but could still see the funny side however, and I aksed them to change it back. but they didnt. As admins I expected them to ebhave more mature than this, but I was wrong. Instead, they changed my username to Norwich Ian. they changed my avatar, sig and peronal info so it looks like I support Norwich. Now for me being called a Norwich supporter is like a catholic having to watch the pope getting punched in the face. I changed my avatar, sig etc back but I couldnt change my username. So this decended into a war of avatar, sig and profile settings changing war. Then what I thought was one of my friends called Munkiki (a Norwich supporter) decided to be disgusted with me that I was a Norwich supporter pretending to be an Ipswich one. I have recieved some not very nice comments, one who even wanted me to stand on the centre circle of carrow road (Norwich Citys home stadium) and for the norwich fans to be pelted with tomatoes. People now think Im some kind of traitor to either Ipswich Town or Norwich City.

I am insulted, disgusted and amazed at some of these peoples behaviour, mainly the admin. Am I overreacting? And what should I do? I came to this communtiy because here I know I have true friends. please help.

You are right, its a very immature way to behave. Not using the power they have wisely.

As for the insults, well, they may keep firing them at you so maybe its best to delete your account and go :-\

Doesn't seem like a very nice place to me personally but there you go.

Hope this helps :)

It was a nice place, until they took a joke way too far.

Any suggestions on how to get abck at them? Or is that just lowering myself to their level? Unless I get back at them at a far higher and superirior way to them?

I think the admin is mis-using his position..But I'm afraid there's not much you can do, except explain the situation on the forum..Who knows, maybe others have had trouble with him..Good luck.. ;)

AA: no. they wont care for that. i need something much better that will annoy them. and yet show my level of superiority. :evil:

SD: There have been admin abuse before. and i have explained the situation, they all think im overeacting.

I dont want to leave the forum though, I like it, its just 1 admin that is really being pafetic. why should I leave just ebcause of 1 admin?

The one that has been annoying and pafetic, ie the culprit, is called Forever Gold.

Post by: Shipaddict on February 28, 2009, 10:06:11
Judging by some of the posts in your topic "Who played the funny prank?" they seem like a nasty bunch in my mind, espeically those admins who don't seem to care.

I don't think it will be dropped anytime soon tbh :-\

Not sure if the law can come into this or now, but you probably wouldn't want to go that far anyway.

Its probably best that you just delete your account, or be serious with the mand say enough is enough now. If they carry on delete your account, and if  I were you, I'd stay away, but, if you really want to go back, go back with a different name.

The behaviour you are describing is clearly bullying, and appears to violate their forum rules; you could try appealing to other members of their administration team, but honestly, if they show such poor judgement when selecting administrators in the first place, you're probably on a hiding to nothing.

thanks guys for the advice. I have tried to be serious and try to ammend the issue with forever gold, still awaiting a reply, Ill see what comes good of it.

Why not just post a huge Ipswich banner, and underneath something like: "I don't care what anyone says, I'm an Ipswich fan"..

Just goes to show, football "fans" with a sick sense of humour make terrible admins..

Post by: Captain Darling on February 28, 2009, 11:16:09
Some of the replies on there is disgusting behavior and I don't see any Administrators or moderator's doing their job.

In my view, a badly ran forum. ;)

I understand how you feel RMSGB but I think your request is not a good one.  I think the admins of this forum don't want an angry mob of football fans spewing vitriol here, and ultimately if the actions of this one admin are condoned or tolerated by the rest of their admins, then you really can't win.

Hi RMSGB.

My advice is to walk away and not lower yourself to the level of this bunch of childish thugs. Absolutely childish beyond belief!

I'm not a football supporter in any way. This just goes to convince me that I am 100% correct to look down at the ignoramouses on that forum.  :angel:

Stay here, in the company of real people. By comparison, here there are men and Spambot who have risked their lives for years in the heaviest weather that the seas can throw at them. They've suffered sub-zero temperatures in incredible storms. Some of us have been manning the lifeboats in 50 foot waves in January in the pitch darkness at 2 in the morning, saving the lives of other decent humans.

Then there is a forum where a few spoilt brat childish people misbehave. Probably the most dangerous thing they've ever done is watch a football match on the TV. Or perhaps crossed the road on the way to a match. The only way they can feel superior is to put someone else down. Pathetic...

Does that put things in perspective? Hope so.  :thumbs:

Yes, we love you very much RMSGB :lol:

You know what, I will do exactly that, thanks Terry, your 100% right.

Nice Speech Terry :thumbs: correct indeed....One of my relatives was unfortunately lost at sea, on a trawler, thats how dangerous it is :'(

And I sometimes wonder why I do it either, even though myself its only for pleasure, still very dangerous, especially when that cold fog comes down quickly on you...thats very eery indeed.....when it does happen. I want to go to sea when I'm old enough, go to the Nautical College here, and be at sea for pretty much the rest of my life, Thats the only thing I want out of my life, is to go to sea, as a career, and I'm determined to do so.

Stay here with us RMSGB ;D :lol:

Just put in my leaving notice on that forum, This is what I put:

Right, I will take my leave.

This forum was fun, but then I realised that actually this forum is pafetic. admins who cant administrate and cant keep control, and then one who is a bully. he knows who he is, scum. absolute ***** scum. I have realised that you people are pathetic, all of you. Childish, spoilt brats, misbehaving ogars. And I for one feel ashamed to lower myself to your level. BY far not all of you are like that, but some of you are, and I dont have time for people like that.

I know that sounds poncey. But I will not lower myself any more to your pitiful level. Instead, I will leave, and talk to some proper people, ipswich people. Ipswich people are good people, not perfect, but not like some of you on this forum. you know who you are.

You can continue like animals way after I've gone, I dont care, Some of you are just ***. I made some friends in my time here, but for the whole I found most of you to be unbearable people. Some who I thought to be friends turned out to be nothing but betraying thugs.

I know you wont miss me, thats pretty obvious. So I will go. Good luck to all Ipswich fans on here, with whom I havnt had a problem with. Good luck to the good proper people, they know who you are.

Im leaving, delete my account and pretend I never existed. My morales have been severly tested. I have had enough, this forum is not the right place for proper people like myself and fellow Ipswich fans.

Thanks to all the proper people on this forum, and thanks to forver gold for making me see what this forum is really about.(*****)

Goulding: review your forum mate, make it a better place, and I may return

And so I will lower myself to your level for one last time: (had a smiley of a guy with middle finger at this point)

Good ridence. 


And now my username on there is lord Ian of Norwich, they really the most immature disgusting people I ever had the misfortune to meet. By the way, I never planned on leaving this forum, Ill always be here, I was juggling 2 forums without a problem for a while. but now I realise that there is onyl one forum where people are truly great. and thats here.

Just see what he's changed your name and avatar to.. :-\

Hi RMSGB.

If that's "walking away", I'd hate to see it when you wade in....  :evil:
Title: Re: I DONT NEED HELP ANYMORE!
Post by: RMSGreatBritain on February 28, 2009, 12:23:06
Luckily for you Terry you will never have to see it! I think it was a case of put them in their position, then walk away! and then slam the door. I dont need them pathetic people anymore....

So In my time Ive experienced the worst admin:Forver Gold, and the best: Terry Russel and Mad Fred (equal best). So alls not too bad.

Apparently Im an early contender for sulk of the year award, and apparently I overeacted. i could see the funny side at first, but then it got ridiculous. james Im nto sure its the best forum to go to, but be it on your own head.

EDIT: James, I dunno what you mean about the avatar, 'lord Ian of Norwich' doesnt have one any more.

Why not copy and paste this in a post there?

Hello.

I am Ian... No I am not. So please stop calling me that. I can see the funny side of this joke, but you have gone a bit too far. Please call me >what you want to be called<.
I want to make a complaint on this forum. Neither the administrators or moderators are doing their jobs here. I am absolutly disgusted at the administrator for changing my name when I didn't want it, and went as far as changing my name to a non-supported team. Furthermore, I am appalled at the fact that the administrators do not change my name back, and instead, change my signature and avatar. This is absolutely appaling. This is a poorly run forum. And if the childish administrators want any advice from a decent member, it'll be "Leave your members alone, and grow up!"

This is a disgusting place to be, so I am leaving, but I hope the administrators will use that advice and make this forum a better place.

For future reference, My name is >Your name< and I support Ipswich, My username, what ever the admins say, is Ipswichian. The sigs and avatars I have are the work of Forever Gold, the 10 year old administrator who knows when a joke starts, and doesn't know when it ends.

Goodbye, forum.

But seriously, I know we all rib each other (make jokes about each other if you don't understand what "rib each other" means), but it's not usually done with nastiness. It's like family squabbles at Christmas or Thanksgiving. People shout and scream and chuck food at each other because they feel secure enough to do it.

Mum or Dad or Grandad or Grandma may lean over and clip your ears to keep you in lne, but it's all done as family. Hopefully that's how people understand it here.

PS Fred will have to be either Dad or Grandma. I've baggsied "Grandad" already.

Post by: Gloat on February 28, 2009, 23:21:51
Terry. I really dont mind people calling be Bloat or Blob or whatever.




Here is Bloats way of having a good argument:

WARINING: THIS ACTUALLY WORKS:

Always use the words "Appalled" & "Disgusted" in an complaint, but never use the word "flabbergasted"

The words Appalled and Disgusted are strong words. They actually mean something. If someone is complaining at me, and they say "I am Disgusted, Gloat" It makes my heart chill! (So lets all call Gloat disgusting.)

The Word Flabbergasted is an unusual one, meaning the same thing as appalled, but its pronounciation makes it sound like a joke - so dont use it.

As I said before, this does actually work. It means something to the reciver. So if you are complaining to a mad 10 year old administrator, saying "I am appalled at the way you use your administrative powers." Or "I am disgusted at you for acting so childish - even at your rank" Just might mean something to the admin.

So guys, use the words Disgusted and Appalled, but don't use Flabbergasted.
