Every one is missing my point… Who cares about Gnilsia & ninja's online love affair? My initial post was a “read between the lines” and it seems to have passed most people by… Obviously some of the older members are used to the Admin not really doing his job, but as i've only started posting recently it's new to me…
Admin has the time to come on and ban (just a point i'm not getting caught up with this) a member with little hesitation, over nothing major… But not enough time to post a simple rules, “Do's & Do-Not's” or grief reporting thread? They have more of an effect than you think, and a few warning's can go a long way, no? I think if there had been any such thing Ninja would have been happier sooner and gnilsia wouldn't have been able to take it too far. IMO gnilsia was “harassing” ninja a little, however funny i found it. Giving ninja a hard time without saying anything – Location, sig, avatar – just because you can is a bit harsh. However funny i found it Admin should have given a warning, and that would have been that… Something i'm sure ninja would have done Admin had taken the time to clearly let everyone know that option was open to him??
Instead of arguing because of (between almost everyone)…
- I'm smarter than you
- I'm older than you
- I've been here longer than you
- etc. etc. etc.
It's like Admin has no interest anymore (if he ever did) – Not even an epic amount, just a proper sit down and read once every so often, like even once a month? He has so little to say about anything? Hardly any topic posts? Shouldn't he be creating interesting new threads based on “Ps3 going on's” even slightly? Only ever appearing to confirm or deny rumors ,sometimes, and little else… You can have an opinion and still be impartial if that 's the issue can't you?
I feel that some new members leave because of the arguing and lack of any real structure to the forum… It can't be that hard to bring some order and contribution to your own site?
These are my feelings… They don't matter in any real fashion, but my mind wonders when I'm bored and i thought i'd share. Every one always seems to complain but just let it slip, stop moaning, or moan to someone who can get it sorted – The Admin; or nothing will really change. But i doubt it ever will…
I've been posting a fair bit lately but I'm gonna take a break from it for a while. Play my Ps3 more, chill “offline a bit more”. I'll still no doubt keep an eye on the posts here, and be back, but not for a while. It'll be interesting to see if anythings changed and who's still here, lol.
IMO, the Admin suck's… Needs to sort his site out a bit? This is an opinion, deal with it!

I stayed because of the fighting.
A forum issues thread is needed though.
If admin does't want to wade through useless banter and angsty teen tantrums, he should start a thread where complaints can be made about anything to do with the site.
He can then pop on and read the one thread, which will get him up to speed with the new cliques and bitch fights, and hopefully fill him in on who's causing trouble so that action can be taken.
Even if he rarely checks the thread, seeing someone complain about you in it, should be enough to end whatever was going on, or hopefully reignite the argument so I can join in.
I find lately I miss all the good tiffs, so having a thread where I can go to find them without having to read all the in-between crap would be lovely.

I joined a while ago and i have to say this is probably my favorite site to go to. Not only are there interesting topics to read about, but there are also helpful guides and people that will answer questions when you ask them. Although the bickering, fighting, and complaining get a little out of hand, its whats disfunctional communities like ours do. Best thing tpo do is work it out so that we can get on with our lives. I regret hearing that gnilisa was banned. what he did was a little funny and uncalled for but (IMO) it was nothing to get banned for. @Ninjacat, the whole thing about your gf having cancer, i believe that was uncalled for and not neccessary; however, its not something you should be banned for. You were just defending your girlfriend.

Me and Gnilsia have spoken over PM. This is all over now.
@Mojo, just find another forum, seriously. You want arguments, go elsewhere. We are all clubbing together now, as you can see, to help this forum out and stop the arguments. I am not trying to start an argument here, just telling you, warning you if you like, that we want APT to thrive. Not get dragged down by people like you.
Oh and the whole “Admin does nothing” business I have to agree with. He is often absent, but of course he has a life. A job, perhaps a wife. That's why there needs to be a couple of guys on here, not many, 3 or 4, just to keep it in order while he's not about. Then problems like this could be resolved much quicker and the forum would be a much happier place. I would gladly volunteer myself as a moderator if it decided they are needed. But it's admins choice whether he thinks we need them or not.

Get your facts straight people, Gnilsias account was under review…He's not been banned. Review is complete and he's welcome to use it again.
He will hopefully not missuse some of the forums functions again such as the avatar and sig function to harrass another member.

Dont put this on the admin, we shouldnt need an admin to sort out our arguments, if you cant fight it till it's sorted then just leave it alone.
Also how did he get a pic of you and you GF (i dont know if it is) but if you added him on facebook or let him know who you are to find it then it's your own fault.
So why dont we try and be more about the games and there trophies, cause that's what this site is about isn't it ?

Well theres a facebook thread that asks for your account name. If I remember Ninja gave it. Gnilisa (sorry if its wrong) obviosuly looked him up. Searched Laura in the friendlist search box. Found her and photoshoped the picture of him and her..

this is the reason sooo many people fall for internet scams

and i think the admins done a remarkable job with this site single handedly
keep up the good work admin

I think Admin does a good job for one person, you don't like the site then there are other sites to use simple as that really. You want to come here for the fights(anybody)then your a sad excuse for a human and most fights are over pretty quickly so feeling the need to join in and flame is PATHETIC. I guess this recent tiff has shown how out of hand shit can get but Admin resolved the matter and we can all move on from it now. Butterflies and Rainbows and such….

And they call me the troll.
Your whole statement is ridiculous. You try to take the high ground and condemn fighting, yet in the same breath insult me.
Admin is also more than one person it would seem. Most people don't refer to themselves as “we”.

suggestions:
lock this thread.
cut the crap about each other.
cut the pointless posts about nonsense.
learn to grow up, and don't over-react over something someone else said.
I mean c'mon… Forum Rules:
Common Sense.
if you can't stick to that one rule, don't come on at all.
And Admin, don't be afraid to immediately BAN someone for a week or two if they do something stupid. If it causes further trouble, Disable the entire forum for a week.

One last post to respond to the Admin…
Firstly i do like it here, that was never an issue. And i will be back.
And to tell us to “get our fact's straight”, when NO fact's were given in an official post is a bit… well… Cheeky really isn't it? With nothing official to let us know what was going on, people will say what they see, and it did look like a ban. It seems that if i had not made any point of this in the first place no further action would have been taken? “Power to the people” is a good notion until people abuse that fact.
I do not have any personal issue with the Admin, as he mentioned, this was only creative criticism at the lack of structure. This is your site and your responsibility ultimately…
The Admin does do his job, when you PM him or get in touch, that i can't disagree… But, IMO, he should be more active without needing called upon… I do like talking with everyone here, however much i may disagree sometime's… I don't want to just repeat myself so i spose i'll leave it at that.
See you all, hopefully, in a couple months time

@Doc-B – if you look back, he definitely posted earlier that he was NOT banned, and that it was under review. Thems the facts. And your issue you mentioned earlier, and the big issue here: arguing – can we solve it on our own? – is normally Moderated by a Moderator. Thats the point of having them. I realize we're all about freedom of speech, but a moderator can end stupid arguments quickly, without having a 3 page discussion of it first. Which would let us talk about what we're really here for – video games. If everyone is against a moderator, then everyone needs to stop fueling fires. An administrator has other things to do, like update the actual website, and keep the forum operating, etc, etc. The admin shouldn't have to police us, and if he apparently does, then we need a moderator. And the moderator needs to be a neutral party, which is probably why admin doesn't post too much, he/she probably realizes why its important to stay neutral.
@Supergayjay – Those rules were taken from a much larger forum with many many more active members than here, and its also a game developing company… so their rules are a little more strict, since they don't want bad PR. What I really wanted people to take from the wasn't so much the spelling and grammer, but the idea of staying on topic, posting something that actually contributes to the topic at hand, and the idea of how moderators operate if they exist (by giving warnings, and a points system that classifies if you get banned, and for how long). I wasn't in any way saying that these rules should be implemented here, I just wanted people to read them and think about it. Plus, I understand not every one here speaks english natively, so I don't expect perfect spelling and grammer. However, we have had posters in the past that write things in an atrocious manner, by replacing all their e's with 3's, and stupid crap like that. Please don't do that (I doubt you will).
Anyways, thats the last I have to say on this stuff… I hope.
