Please don't flame me but...

Well take a holiday for a couple of weeks.

Wow, this thread is confusing. Atero, calm down. Just chill with the flaming - we've been asking you to do this for a long time. Gonzo is merely trying to restore order. You follow the simple rules and you won't get in trouble.

Atero post was removed as he offensively flamed a couple of mods and about 6 members here so Gonzo, rightly so, removed it.

Getting stuck into themods is not a good idea at the best of times but this was silly and he keep going on and on.

I let a lot go with atero as he was a useful member of teh team here and did sometimes help people out but way do we have to put up with this.

So he is banned initally for a couple of weeks.

atero banned? 😢

Abusing power is having valuable knowledge that someone else needs and then flaming them when they ask you about it.

Hey dude. Try responding to tech support questions for 3 years, hehe. We've got countless stickies/faq's, and a TSGH forum . . . but still we get the same questions over and over again.
The best tip I can give you is to take a page out of mine and Sawg's books, and knock up a text file of links, so when someone asks the same old question, all you need to do is point them to the relevant thread.
If it's answered in the faq, then knock up a simple copy+paste reply. Then it only takes a matter of seconds to post a reply.
And be as cool, patient and courteous as hell, no matter how much it hurts, lol.

Gee, and you guys wonder why I resent the new mods so much. Wonder what this is all about? Talk to gonzoboy 😠

Now what was it I said in the other thread about prospective moderator material? 😉
Remember, no-one is bigger than the forums themselves.
Apparently, you've already been sent many private warnings about flaming members, and now I'm warning you in public. Persistent flaming will NOT be tolerated!
Just to let the other good people here know, Atero posted a "leaving" message, where he blatently cursed and flamed other members and moderators in person.
Not nice, not nice at all.
As evidence, the thread was (re)moved.
Trust me, you do NOT want to see it!

Whether Atero leaves on his own accord or not, you'll be seeing a lot less of him around these parts in the not too distant future... sad, but true 🙁
A temp ban means there's a second (conditional) chance.
After that, it becomes permanent.

Damn it atero, now we don't have the n00binator here anymore. You did a great job of handling the n00bs most of the time - except when you went overboard and started flaming them. Oh well, should still be able to hold them off for a couple of weeks. See you when you come back(and please do come back).

The funny side of all of this is that the thread title is 'Please don't flame me but...'

LMAO. Yeah, isn't that ironic. Atero just got banned for flaming people. He didn't flame idiot though(although it's hard not to - just saying his name makes the post sound derrogatory😛 ).

Yes, life can be so ironic at times 😉
However, I'm sure you'll all cope nicely in Atero's absence.

Now please get back to making all those totally mental presets.
Nothing else to see here. Move along.

Thank you 🙂
