And all this started because I trimmed the quoted part of a post in the Last Seen Movie thread because the quoted part was unnecessarily big and all of it wasn't relevant to the reply being posted.

The reply itself was untouched.

For the record, all replies posted anywhere are untouched. Only the quoted part of the posts had been trimmed so that posts stay relevant and short. If you see a message "Last edited by ___V___" in your post, it's just to shorten your quotes, NOT your replies. Today, many users out there use iPads, mobile phones, Blackberrys, etc. to surf the Net (I myself do this), so scrolling down long quoted posts becomes a real pain, specially when surfing charges are charged by the second/minute.

But I guess you all prefer a forum without rules. I now see why zwoti, bloodrayne and Austin failed, even after trying to implement SOME rules for this place, which horror himself never gave. All I tried to do, was to make this forum presentable to the world. Deepest apologies if that came out as Stalin-ish or power-trippish or whatever else you folks in this part of the world refer it to.

Sending the worksheet of the Top 100 Writers to fortunato, with a request that he compiles it into a presentable thread. And a request to any Moderator who's left out there, please make fortunato's thread a Sticky in the Books section.

Good luck.

I don't.
Though I was never really one complaining.

I know I got annoyed about something a few weeks ago and said something I shouldn't have, but I was wrong and apologized for it. Truly sorry if I contributed to this unfortunate dismissal.

Wow. So we've lost two members over this shit now? What a kick in the guts to the board.

Sorry you guys feel that way. You'll be missed :(

Good God, I'm out of commission for one day and this place falls apart! What the he'll is going on?!

And you mods talk about "drama queens"? All I said was Sistinas had a valid point about certain members getting preferential treatment, and suddenly the forum's in tatters.

I apologize for causing so much grief over a suggestion. However, I absolutely refuse to continue on here as moderator or member under these circumstances. This has been blown ridiculously out of proportion.

Yeah I picked up a little bit of irony too.
That said...I'll take the password if it's up for grabs...

C'mon Wicker- you always have plenty to say about how poorly the mods do their job. Time to step up.

Since you put it that way, I will. I hope V will continue on and we can work together.
