Is it just me or does anyone else think that the admins on here have to much power? i mean i no that lots of you are going to say "There just doing there job!" yea but still i mean i just got one of my most popular posts locked for having a "Dupe thread" which i think is a duplacate thread which is a copy of some one elses post, but i mean come on there are thousands of thousands of posts on the website i mean you dont expect me to read everyone of them to see if someone else has posted the same thing. i think they should have some type of warning saying some body has posted the same topic or not. i dont no im just a little mad that they can shut down a post just cause theres the same one already.
Mod Edit: I've moved this to Forum discussion on the basis that it doesn't have much to do with minecraft. Have fun :smile.gif:
They are only doing so in order to keep order. It isn't for no reason. Plus, it would be boring to see five of the SAME topics on the forum. The search bar can be used to search a key word to see if your topic has already been created.
And I think the admins are doing a marvelous job of maintaining this website.

By and large I'd agree, but Juze "reprimanded" me for announcing on the forum that Mojang.net was now more than just a redirect and was it's own functioning page... he called it "spammy nonsense"
it would be boring to see five of the SAME topics on the forum.
i agree but usually if you read the forums you may realise there are lots of pages some of them some times if they are not viewed alot they loose popularity and start going back pages farther and farther so someone might read them one day and come back 2 days later and one of the posts has went back and was not viewed by this person and then they say " hey i want to post about this" but it is the same topic as some post that is back a few pages and so for some reason it gains lots of popularity and they her comes a 24/7 admin who reads everysingle post and locks and bannes your post!
I find it interesting that as long as you defend Mojang and Notch, you can do and say whatever you want, whenever you want. If you disagree with Mojang and Notch, you find yourself a target and shortly banned usually.
take my thread for a example, it was not a Dup thread it was a legit thread that a admin carelessly took flame threads and etc and merged them into my thread making it all jumbled up, I run 4 websites and mod/admin a bouch of forums, and we don't ever do anything like that, if we need to merge, we do it right.
we allow criticism and feedback, as long as its constructive, I Do agree that the mods here really need to understand what being a admin/mod really means, I have seen them flaw there power around in a number of threads for no reason.
and as the person above me said, Those who defend and start griefing/trolling or even flaming those who speak, Get away with it without any warnings or punishment, how is that justification, how is that doing your job right? Its not.
When 1 turns a blind's eye just because they can, its not fair nor justice,
chances are this thread will get closed too. or a bunch of people will come in and troll this thread giving a reason to get it closed, and the mods would rather close it then actually do there job and deal with the trouble makers
with that I leave
"We are but men, drawn to act in the name of revenge we deem to be justice. But when we call our vengeance justice, it only breeds more revenge... forging the first link in the chains of hatred."

Mira here had a legitimate problem that demanded action, and nothing happened for almost a MONTH. All the people that attacked this person got off scott free.
Oh Paypal rewarded me the refund, and they may take action >.> they where not happy that he refused to respond to paypals request for acknowledgement
He ignored paypal for over a month+ on there inquiry about my request for a refund.
I won the case.
There does seem to be a high amount of censorship on this board. *shrugs* But then the community can be pretty childish.
That's just not true. I've seen a lot of questionable posts slip by unnoticed, like most of the ones involving the "NDF" and numerous troll calls.

If you are annoyed with some things on the forum, do what I do, ignore them and man up, because there are things in this world that should be left alone. If something is changed on the forums, there's a 50% chance that someone is gonna be annoyed and get a bunch of people together and start whining..... Therefore, if the admins seem a little annoying, stay off their turf to stay as far as possible from the ban hammer, that's what I do.
EDIT: the reason why some posts that disagree with mojang get banned is because there are trolls out there that want to take down mojang and ruin the company for fun. And there's others who just troll.

It shouldn't be that way though, that ISN'T justice. Then again, power should not be centralized in the hands of teenagers to begin with.
If you try to force justice, it will most likely do more harm than good, I've seen it happen before. It's like trying to force a CD into a CD player, your most likely going to do more harm than good. Sometimes you have to be patient and wait it out, but don't stop voicing your opinion, because that's the fertilizer of change, you voicing your opinions and sharing your ideas.
ok some admin has already wrote on the top post i made saying some thing about a mod edit and moving it to the disscussion but it is already there!
OK WE DID IT! THE ADMIN HAS MOVED THIS TO THE FOURM DISCUSSION BECAUSE HE SAYS IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MINE CRAFT A.K.A I WANT THIS FORUM TO DISSAPPER FOR EVER SO NO ONE GETS MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

no matter what you think thats the lack of good mods and admins if that happens, if your a mod and admin you should be setting a example not acting like a child, Your suppose to be the people who have calm head's and are to assist the need of your users... not the other way around
when I say they need to learn what being a mod/admin means, thats the first thing you should understand in your Position
You are here to help Us, to set a example, You should do your job and do it right, to manage a forum is really not that hard. I do it all the dang time, and sites bigger then this, with only 3 people on Staff, if such a little team can keep things happy and manageable, why can't these guys?
in my thread so many people where attacking me, insulting me and so fourth, None of them got in trouble, the people who defended me Got banned, Warned, for defending me, Can you justifie that? I can never accept that as a good mod/admin, I refuse to acknowledge there position until they start acting like mods/admins, and I am well with in my right to do so.
@alienfromarea51
please don't caps abuse, and I think you meant the mods want this thread to disappear, not the Forum, You made it sound like you want the forums (The website) to go bye bye , and I don't think that's what you meant, Lets keep things civilized and The mod is correct this isn't about Mine craft, its about the Forums, so it shouldn't be in the minecraft section, That I can agree with.
Yesterday afternoon there was a troll who was posting threads that looked a lot like this:
"Guz i jeep fal salsa and the crocodle kep bom "
The administration not only let this moron post about 3 threads, but they actually warned users who flamed him! One guy posted an image that said "WTF is this ****" and was promptly warned.

I'm sorry, but are you complaining about an admin using their powers for a legitamite reason when this does in fact have nothing to do with Minecraft like (s)he said?
The quoted post can best be described as [tinfoilhat].
In fact, I'm the ONLY one who defended you that is still around. The other ten or so have been banned for mundane and pathetic reasons.
I think you're putting far too much focus into whether people support Notch or not. It turns out that that really isn't a factor in moderating; you're imagining it.

Agreed. Moving this post would not qualify as an abuse of power. The move was justified.

Then why is when (and I really hate calling people out) users such as Rabidsi and Cameron can bash and insult myself and others as much as they want and never receive a single warning. They can get flagged, reported, and have OBVIOUS posts that are nothing but flame and still, nothing happens. YET, when myself or others who are clearly not in favor of the current administration make so much as a peep, we get warned.
Its miraculous really.
heh, I have chat logs of such matters actually >.>
allot of the people who defended me actually sent me the logs of the private conversations they held with the mods, and I read them as a professional not as a person with a complaint or out for revenge, and I will say there was Nothing but truth and honesty being discussed , nothing crossing the line and so fourth, yet they still ended up banned or Warned and such for no reason, Reasons That don't exist, or where made up, because I could not see the reason, it was written very well and so fourth..
I even have a chat log with me and a mod talking that told me he'd offer my thread protection, Never did.. it just got locked, I was talking to him and expressing myself about how other users get away with flaming and insulting us got away with it, Yet our legit threads are closed down because of them, and the Mod proved he couldn't read my clear posts because he responded to it completely inaccurately.
The moment I saw he thought I was talking about him when I clearly said other users I pretty much ended all discussion, and was really disappointed with the level of "mod/admin' ship they have , that by itself proved to me they have no idea what they are doing.
No, Admins don't have to much power.
Just the guy who gave out the power didnt know what he was doing. So now we have a bucket of incompetent people with to much strength.
