After observing the creature known as Waar one learns a few things about his ways and how it affects users on this site.

- Waar is a mod close with Jake (or so I've heard) so even if he is a complete
asshole (which he is) he can get away with it as it's Jacob's site and what he says goes.

- He doesn't need a defense mechanism as he has all the nukes AKA "Mod Powers" So
if he doesn't like you for whatever reason it's bombs away, sayonara. He doesn't
need to get defensive about his reasons for doing what he does.

- He knows a good chunk of users don't like him but it won't stop him from being him as he has the power to do whatever and there is shit all anyone can do about it.

Summary: Sure, I get annoyed by some of the shit he says but then again I know he can't help it. Assholes are what they eat and even if I don't like what he has to say or do not like his opinion; I just have to accept it or do something else but I choose to stick around in spite of all that. There are better things to do on this site than just argue about shit. So do your thing he'll do his.

I wasn't close with Jake when I was first made a staff member(we had met once for an hour or two?). It was because I was proven to be an asset that he could trust during Fakku's time of need. I don't "get away with it" because Jake likes me, he just trusts(most of the time) that what I'm doing is in the best interest of Fakku. I believe making bad users rethink things before they post is an essential service I can provide, and it's proven to work; you are a prime example. You are still by no means a good poster but you are far better than what you once were.

In general I don't just ban users or win arguments with mod powers. I do tend to try and argue/debate my way out of whatever issue first. When I do use mod power it's because I believe I'm acting as someone needs to, because someone has to do the shit I do.

The power I have has nothing to do with my attitude, I've been "Waar" far longer than I've been a mod, the power just enables me to enforce my will if need be.

I will be "Waar" as long as I see a need for it.

LOOK. EVEN UNCLE PHIL IS AMUSED.

Don't worry Douchey has me covered.


But I guess by telling me I'm new here, you're really telling me I should know better than to mention your favoritism, hypocrisy, and general lack of...consistency.

You do seem to think I was only talking about this incident though. I wasn't, and I should have made that clear in...third response.




Eh............








Well I was glad to be...some source of petty amusement.

What part of this is favoritism? I locked a thread that I saw as a bad thread, I don't believe this thread falls into the same category. Hypocrisy? I never pretended to be something I'm not, I'm very clear about my actions and the reasons behind it. There is no deception here. I'm as transparent as possible so what hypocrisy can you identify? Consistency? I consistently act as I see fit and always have, I could not be more consistent.

This incident or a thousand others, I have always acted as I see fit, your points don't become more valid simply because there are many incidents.

Please stop feigning ignorance. If anything your hypocrisy and lack of consistency comes from it.

But fine let's make an example of this thread.

In this thread there's been spam, double posting...And not to mention it's entire point was to be an image thread. Yeah it's provided harmless fun by a well known user. So you're telling me you've never locked a harmless image thread(no spamming or double posting) in IB?

No, I'm telling you I've always locked any thread I believe to be a problem.

Spam, double posting and image threads, all of those can exist in IB if staff members want to allow them.

That being said, I also explained countless times that I do things by my own rules, and this place is far better for it.

Deal with it.

edit: I wanted to add: You still call it hypocrisy but failed to explain how it's hypocrisy. Please do so.

Because you claim to follow a set of rules or a code of conduct, and yet you don't. When I pointed out something didn't adhere to the rules, you said it was because it was whimsical fun, I then questioned why you don't have the set of mind on other who didn't break the rules and you didn't give a straight answer. You go on about the staff when we're taking about calls you've made.

Your bold text seems to follow two patterns, one which tries to paraphrase or expand on what I said and another where you seek to question my methods. I will do what I can to interpret these ramblings.



I assume these are questions. If I feel something is too poor in terms of quality. Sometimes they are against rules and I say so but other times I'm just "trimming the fat" for terrible threads. I'm always clear as to what the issue is, even if it's just that I dislike it.



I'm sorry, are you trying to paraphrase what I'm saying or are you saying you have the power to stop me? I think it's an attempt to paraphrase. It's less about who the person is and more about what they're trying to say. If someone has been postings consistently bad though, I do force them to adhere to my standards. Again something I believe in.



In general I follow my own rules until im forced to change by Jacob or the other admins. If this is about the image macro threads alone I was forced to stop locking those a while ago(as I admitted when it happened). I have been consistent on anything I've locked until I'm told to stop.



This seems to be a response. You have to, because you can't stop me.



I can't be more clear about this, this thread does not violate any rules in IB. I said the staff wont punish unless they feel it's broken rules. You then asked about another thread that I moderated and I responded in kind with my reasoning, which was that it was a bad thread of poor quality.

To be honest I'm flabbergasted at how you seem to be incapable of comprehending the simple concepts I keep repeating. Perhaps I overestimated your reading comprehension skills; for that I am sorry.

Oh, look... another famous Waar x miscellaneous user argument

Todays challenger is Cruz...

It seems like most people still haven't realized, no matter what you do, Waar always win.

Obviously.
(not sarcasm)



I don't necessarily agree that the best approach for moderating a site, but again, I have to "deal with it". Not the main issue you brought up though.



Maybe you're not the one to talk to this about...but...
How the hell are new users(well any user that's not you) supposed to know about something that's...that subjective and willing to change so fast?



That I did not know.




Never implied I could or wanted to.



Technically nothing does if we go by your standards or "EVERY RULE APPLIES TO INCOHERENT BABBLING AS WELL, WITH SPECIAL CONSIDERATION DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE BOARD ITSELF".



And the only reason this stands is because...Your rules are absolute. I get it.
Also the staff agreed this thread was a-okay.



I understand. Most of what you said boils down to "Deal with it".
I've told you I understand I just don't agree in the way you go around doing things.


I really dragged this one out.

For the most part a shitty user will make a thread and i will lock it while telling them not to make threads like that. If they persist I lock more, if they try to fight me it then gets messy. But if they understand(as nexus eventually did) I loosen the reins and don't track them that closely. It's not like I ever ban users for being bad posters, I just control their ability to communicate on our boards(which is, as always, a privilege).



Ive explained this a few times in countless threads, we left that statement as vague as possible so that if someone abused a rule to excess like say "necrobumping 50 threads" we could punish them as if they broke a rule, but also it allowed us to let people who necro once to get away without incident. It gives us room to act if we(each individual mod) wish to. I simply don't play by the normal rules.

I really don't think it's as unfair as you make it out to be, but I am on the side of things who never faces that so perhaps I have no idea how it really feels.

Let me ask you this: Do you believe Fakku/IB would be better off without me as a moderator? I won't take offense, I'm just trying to look at the bigger picture. Will IB be a better place without me locking some threads and leaving others be? Do my actions help or hurt these boards?

Yes.

Even you yourself believe that to be the case, sir. This is why you have organized an elaborate plan to overtly abuse your privileges as a moderator while maintaining the claim that you're innocent of wrongdoing and that your nuts are populated with more fakku users than sperm cells. You hope that your machinations will ultimately result in you being fired, because you believe that being a quitter is more humiliating and that Nexus will dump you. It's okay, bra. He'll understand. We'll understand. Just affirm this and you shall be set free. Free from this horrific responsibility you've inadvertently gotten yourself into and free from the anxiety of having a subpar cum count.
