    Default OK... my turn to rant.

    OK... for some time now, a lot has been going on here on the boards with people at each other's necks and I for one am really getting sick of it! If anyone here has a problem with this thread... well suck it up! We all know there are rules here and I for one was not aware of one of them and posted a fan-fic when I shouldnt have. I respect the rules but what PISSES me off is when others have to get on and make sure we all have those rules posted in our faces as if they have nothing else to do but look at everyone's threads and report and or snitch about rules that might be at the time being broken. I would like for once for people to just enjoy the boards and leave all the rule inforcement to those who run the damn site!

    Multiple accounts is a no-no... everywhere. I'm not 16, so the word "snitch" is fine by me, if it means keeping people in line with the rules. I am not going to, nor do I have to, PM any mods about this, because it's plastered all over the boards.

    As for LM being "reformed", forgive me if I'm not convinced. He KNEW about the multiple accounts thing, because he already got blasted over the Simmons 2.0 account.

    i totaly understand thatabout LM and i ven told him to lay low and stay off the boards and stop with all the accounts. We all have problems and some show if in different ways as did LM. He admits what he did and said was wrong. It just disturbs me when some want to just sit on here and throw rules in others faces when there are so many more constructive things they can be doing. I agree... rules are rules but they dont need to be thrown in people's faces at every turn by those that are not admin.

    This is precisely what I was afraid would happen. Guys can we just stop? This is just going to get uglier and uglier and I don't want that. What's Done is Done. LM made a mistake. We're all human and None of us are perfect.

    I don't even understand why it is being discussed. Sora is an excellent mod, and I defer all decisions to her without hesitation.

    Then let this be the end of it. Lets all take a deep breath and move one-- Before this spins out of control.

    As much of a friend I am of yours Shadow, I need to express myself in the most sincere and honest manner. But you're calling the tea kettle black here and I think you need to suck it up, Shadow. What's the matter? You don't like it that people like me take sides with the management on here? You think you can get a free ride on here simply because you didn't know the rules, or that you're well respected on here and been a prominent member? Well guess what, sometimes you find out the rules when you break em, and they don't discriminate, ever. And when someone tells you, just accept it and move on. And yes, I think it's good that members here keep a lookout for rule breaking. You think I want you banned from this site? Hell no! That's why I think it's okay for regular members to remind other members when they're doing something wrong, I'm trying to save your ass, man! It's a lot of help for the management IMHO.

    You say that I need to give it a rest about the other thing that I won't mention here, well I'm saying the same thing for you now. Stop complaining please. It's discussions like this that make it less enjoyable here on S4TE. I'm so damn frustrated by all of this BS on the site and lately it's making me wanna visit this place less and less. I'm sorry, bro.

    if i get banned for something i do wrong or because I didnt know a rule, well then thats my fault. I dont need anyone, friend or not and I do also think of you as a friend... being forums rule keeper and making sure im aware of every rule here, is all im saying. I dont expect a free ride and in no way, shape or form think im going to be treated as such. You are a good guy Trail and i got a lot of respect for you but im asking you to leave the job of admin and mod to those who's job it is.

    As a moderator, I have to suggest that there is a guideline to post and I quote it for poster's convenience, so that they can keep posting and enjoying on the forum without breaking the rule.


    When posts/threads seem to cause damage to anyone's personal information/reputation, it should be deleted to protect the members as soon as possible.


    When threads are going into a name-calling, I close it before it gets worse.


    As for fanfics/roleplaying in general, it's been a very delicate matter throughout the creative industry. Since S4TE is the one and only official website of high-profile Hollywood film director, it must be on the safest side. Everyone knows that no one here has any intention to claim or infringe on copyrights, but it can never be too careful about the future risk by future guests. (In my private opinion, it must be no problem at all to let people know about fanfics/roleplaying posted outside of S4TE.)


    Any deletion/notifying is nothing personal. If I for one get banned for breaking the rules, I'll be willingly accept it.


    It would be very nice if people would read the announcement first- it's just one click away. And if there's any question about posting, here's a Site and forum stuff section to ask.


    Thank you all for your understanding. Hope all continue enjoying the forums.

    OK. . .since I was offline all afternoon, and missed the revelation of "Scattergories" as LM, I'm just gonna say how stupid and foolish I feel for replying to his visitor messages today. Hanging my head in shame and so sad I am almost crying.

    That is all.

    I agree with Tora straight up. Ever since Nelson closed my Bad Boys FanFic, I have inored anything close-handed to that since. For me, this place is a place to socialise and talk about our hopes and dreams for TF3, as well as getting letters from Bay.
    Through I wasn't a member here in 2008, I enjoyed April-June this year on the forums, we have gone downhill, but I think we will pick up again.
    I respect that every member is an actual person in the real world, with real thoughs, feelings, and memories. Just like anything in real-life, I treat try everybody in a caring and resepectfull maner.
    That is all for now.

    I respect all that was said but if you want to maintain the awesome vibe and integrity we have always had on this forum, I think Drake is right we should stop. I come on here because everyone is awesome. Best forum site for me, Personally. Lets close this thread down and move on.

    Bots sorry about that wall thing. You were just being inviting and welcoming. Which is cool about this forum. I remember how welcoming people were to me when i joined this forum. I found a bunch of people that share a lot of my interests and I think all of us just need to move on. If only they would release some kind of teaser photo for Bays next film I think we would calm down and obsess over that.

    Unhappy Re: OK... my turn to rant.

    (in the words of Tank.) Sorry! ...Sorry to hear a boy was canned for shouting out a cry for help. I thought he had friends on here, but I guess I was wrong. makes me wounder if I shout out for help, would the same happen to me. to be left out in the cool vast of darkness and go though life alone. ...I've been there. thoughts of suicide have filled my mind a time or two for me. I KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE! I KNOW WHAT HE IS GOING THOUGH! ...If I was him, I would do messed up things that don't make any sense. even if people like them or not. Yes! he did break a rule or two. I think it was only to get the intention of everyone. and indeed it has. There is so many people on here that LM has touched. Feelings are mixed throughout the whole community. I think what Shadow is tiring to understand is, Why so many of his friends have turned their backs without a second thought has puzzled him. Yes! no one here is safe from the rules of the board. Even Shadow knows this now after what happened with his fan/fic. did LM really deserve to to be banned? It's hard to say. unless you had all the facts and listened to what he had to say. Judgement here on this site is a bit swift and sometimes harsh. ...and alot of time without warning.

    Farewell Littleman. ...at the vary least. there are still some friends on here that can say that.

    It's an internet forum, not a god damn counseling station. Seriously, this is starting to annoy me. You won't get help here, and NONE here are qualified to administer it.

    Stop glorifying a kid who came on here and repeatedly drunk-posted, insulted others, and flagrantly defied the rules. Does he need help? Yes, I'm willing to bet he does. Do YOU know how to provide it? NO, I'm willing to bet you don't. He needs IN PERSON, ADULT help. Not some kids crying because their friend was banned. You are doing more harm than good.

    This, now you see why he was banned, Tank?
