Hey Leslie
Hate to blow my own trumpet but
Im probably one of the highest ranking
porch members when it comes to preposterous postings and fatuous flumgummery (not a real word ).
I have been pinged by the mods several times mostly in my early years. I clambered up the steps in 2006....and Im still here.
We live and learn. One thing I can say is that despite my errant ways I have never committed the ultimate travesty of mentioning mod*#n,tac&%@l knives.:D
Stay with it mate.
Great positive support for a new member. I had one member private message me with support like that. I really think what happens and it sounds similar to maybe Leslie is that you get all these comments like "It is said here that you cannot do this or that," and a new person does not know. I did not even know where all these "laws" were written. I just started posting with my own obvious politeness rules. There are many who guided me in a positive way and I really thank them for that. Unfortunately, and still now, there are many that have been here for many years that take a hardcore mod position (and one or two mods as well) that really do not show support but flex their so called "muscle knowledge" on the "laws," and issues that if you do not agree, conform, or make an honest foul without malice intentions, you are sternly told so in a non inviting way. Treat others the way you want to be treated and if one does something that is against the rules, tell them in a respectful way and realize they probably did not realize what they did was wrong and guide them in a friendly way, not in such a cold way that they feel slapped on the wrist. If they did intentionally, then what I said is off the table. Peace to you and wish you a prosperous '19. Now back to GEC knives.

I just keeping my eyes open for the Bartham this year. Yes the infamous 77 Barlow. If I see that, I will all over it and every variant that is offered. This is my favorite of any knife in the world. Yes any knife. Ha ha ha.

"An eternity without a cigar. Welcome to Hell."

Here is my reply to a what a member wrote. This member wrote a reply to how a new member was feeling and I replied regarding that new member.

Since there are only two mods who spend much time Traditional, your post is quite pointed as to whom you are referring. You will have to allow me to defend my friend and myself, since you feel so free to attack us. Be advised, that sassing the mods is a 40 permanent point infraction. If you wish to make a formal complaint without an infraction, you may start a complaint thread in the Tech Support Forum instead of making snide remarks in a discussion thread.

Stickies containing posting guidelines are placed at the top of the forum to make them visible. If one does not wish to read the stickies before diving in and posting, one can read for a while to get the hang of the place. Amazingly enough, most new visitors don't have any problems fitting in. And the few who get a private message nudge from a moderator mostly don't freak out over it. But then there are some who are bound and determined to have a fit about any type of correction, no matter how phrased. The Traditional forum is one of the most active forums at BF, so if Peregrin and I are chasing off members, it does not seem to be noticeable.

I hope you find your Barlow in 2018.

Knarfang came at me personally with this remark. I never addressed a mod directly and publicly. This is an ongoing issue and I want it stopped or I want my membership reimbursed and I will leave. I am tired of this treatment.

Take any personal arguments or bickering offline to email or private message as such behavior will not be tolerated within the forum.


I found this statement in the Guidelines on the traditional forums.
This is exactly what knarfang did. He made personal to me. I was consoling a new member about how he felt about always making mistakes and the forum poie were after him. A few others subs consoled him too and knarfang said nothing to them. That sub thanked me for it too. I never once made it personal to him in a public setting. And he referenced peregrin that I am referring to. I never mentioned peregrin ( a mod). I have no issue with this mod. When I said that one or two mods take hardcore positions. I did so in not referring to one in particular.
This knarfang should be penalized with points for this instead of him threatening and harassing me!!! I am tired of this treatment and I want it stopped now!

Well, on Christmas day. That's uncalled for..

I never called any mod out by name and I was referring to how a new member felt and I have felt by how some of use have been treated. I never used bad language or threatened or cursed, ever in this site. This mod has crossed the line but I never made any sass or personal attacks, ever! I have thoroughly read your rules and have followed them.

I know how you feel about mistakes. Blade Forums is losing good people like you because of how they feel about the way they are treated. I support you. Make sure you tell them how you feel. That is the only way they will understand.

You started it all with your whole "fight the power" stance.

He never threatened you. He didn't even accuse you of it. He warned you that, if you should sass a mod or mods, you could be hit with those infraction points.

One could argue that your "fight the power" stance could be construed as mod sass, perhaps not directed at a specific mod, but at the staff and the ideologue of rule-enforcing moderation in general. On rare occasion, this has happened, but after the member insisted on persisting in that manner after or while engaging in disruptive, trolling behavior.

I would also hardly call one instance of a mod clarifying the rules for you as "harassment".

Paid members are subject to the same rules, guidelines, and penalties as anybody else, and they aren't afforded extra considerations or leniency because they're paid members.

Were you accused of it?

I am not asking for leniency. I am asking for customer support as a paid member.

For being here for so long what was it you said? You clambered up the steps in 2006. You know Spark is the management your asking for. I also doubt that your self entitlement and demanding ranting is going to go over to well. You sound like my six year old stomping her feet and holding her breath when she doesn’t get her way. Maybe step back and take a deep breath. Look you don’t have to agree with all the mods hell you don’t even have to interact with them here. But the one thing you have to do is follow the rules here or a mod will let you know you are close to crossing the line or have already crossed it. It’s Christmas take it easy and enjoy the day with family it’s BF don’t take it so serious.

Merry Christmas!

You posted in a public forum so expect criticism when you come off like a child.

Merry Christmas!
 
When I was new I was sometimes frustrated with some ways things are handled. I think it's a case of different perspectives, but some things that are considered friendly and professional by the mods sometimes take me a different way. However, firstly I didn't see it all but I think you're just aggravating yourself over something relatively trivial, and secondly and More importantly, it's not a winning fight. My response was to not try to fully integrate. I participate where I choose to, and don't have time to keep up with everything on the "porch". All of the members I've had conversations with and met have been very nice people. I really don't think knarfeng would purposefully offend you, he just has a way of modding that, like I said, can sometimes hit people differently than I think he means. I don't think it's worth upsetting yourself over.

why are you getting involved that you know nothing about? I in no way sassed. Period. I was responding to what a new member had said and how he felt and why he felt that way.. I am not doing any trolling behavior or persisting on anything. Do not get involved in something that you do not know the whole story on. Move along.

And what facts would those be? Was there something beyond what was said in the posts you quoted and referenced?

I never said you sassed any mods, but rather that what you posted could be construed as such. I also never said that you were trolling, but that those that do are the ones that get infractions or even banned. I was trying to give you advice on what not to do, just as Frank was. If you want more diplomatic advice from myself and others, perhaps you shouldn't throw accusations of harassment around, guns blazing, mouth frothing, and demanding a mod should be infracted.

As I already said. Just forget it and I will move on. Do not feed the fire now.
