This isn't even that big of a forum, do we really need so many moderators? And do those moderators have to be so anal?
|
It's a big enough forum that we do need a good number of mods to keep pace with the posts. Since modding doesn't pay anything, I'm not interested in devoting anymore time to cleaning up messes than I already do.
And I know I need to be so anal.

|  | | | On a much more mundane note, I took this quiz while at work. While momentarily distracted, I got one wrong as a result of clicking "submit" without choosing an answer. If you're soliciting feedback, I'd say it should check to make sure the question has been answered.
On an even more mundaner note, I think a similar quiz should be administered before someone is granted access to the Internet. It could have one question:
1. |<1ic|k h3R3 if ur kewl!!!11!
And if you click, you fail.

|  | | | Lol, I totally agree SocialEngineer, I hate phonetic posts. :p
Yes, most of us would have no problems with the quiz, however, I am assuming that the admins weren't necessarily aiming the quiz at those of us who already know the answers....

This has nothing to do with power tripping. Like I already said about 5 times, THIS WAS DONE BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTED. |
You're going to have to provide a cite for that. Like Ninj, I don't recall a vote on this issue. The closest thing was here:
http://www.uer.ca/forum_showthread.asp?fid=1&threadid=3577&currpage=1
The most popular answer to that was this: "1. Leave everything as-is. Everyone should use their own discretion in their posts."
Implementing a quiz is a long way from leaving everything as-is.
We were just starting to get a few interesting posters from Russia and other places with non-native english speakers. I did 10/10 on the quiz, but someone less familiar with your brand of fascism and the English language may give up quickly.

I got the "You're sure the only way in is through a boarded up window" or something similar, and I figured that it was OK to keep looking for an entrance, but that wasn't accepted. Maybe I suck at the whole UE thing,

No you just suck at KING Av's deffinition of urbex, you do know he created the idea of forums, and urbex,
hell they should call it AvEx instead of urbex.
Thats where AvX comes from , its so clear now
Arrow you don't suck , and dont let Av's drill sargent idea's of Urbex throw you.

| | | | ALl of you people who are personally insulting me for this, kindly fuck off. Like I already said, I didn't write the quiz, it wasn't my idea, and so on. I just coded it.
"Av's Brand of Facism", if that's what you want to call it, is what you'll find on this site. If you don't like it, leave. See ya. We don't need you here.

| | | | Oh, I just got this heartwarming message from Mike Dijital: I'm posting it here so you guys can see what I deal with daily.
You have no idea, how bad you are going to alienate people with your assinine hollier than thou quiz.
" hi im Av and I invented UrbEx"
The only reason I did your stupid quiz was to get on the forum to PM you how much of an ass I think you are for insulting the people who MADE your forum what it is today
It may not be me, but I hope someday someone steals all your thunder, and treats you like a piece of shit.
See you in june
|
Just to correct a few things:
1. It's not my quiz
2. It's not "holier than thou"
3. I didn't invent urbex, and never made such a claim
4. If you didn't want to take the quiz, nobody forced you to.
5. I don't recall insulting anybody. However, It seems your message is an insult to me.
6. I didn't steal your thunder, and I've had my thunder stolen from me before, but i'm not sure what you mean by that.
7. Yes, i'll see you in june, at which point you can personally take our your objections on me and see how much I care.

Alright, look at reply #36 by me in that thread. it begins "Alright, how's this idea:"
Most people agreed with that.
And no, the "leave everything the way it is" option is NOT the most popular. There is one option to leave stuff the way it is, and 5 options to make some kind of change. 70% of the people voted for some kind of change, even though they could not agree on the change. I suggested a change that would take care of MOST of the problems, and generally everyone seemed to be OK with it. ALL of the administrators are OK with the quiz. Some of them might prefer not to have it, but they are not against it.
Sorry, but the forum has spoken.

| | | | The point of this quiz isn't to intimidate people, or keep people from doing bad things. It is to ensure that they have at the very least read over the rules, so that they don't have the excuse of "oh I didn't know that was a rule!" Many people seem to completely skip over the rules before making their first post. Now some of these (like Excalibur for example) do just fine and are productive members of the community and cause virtually no trouble. It's not those people this is meant for. This is for the new people who don't know any better, or might not be familiar with UE and our general guidelines. Hopefully this will keep down the number of irate private messages from people who's posts were deleted for violating forum rules.
"Because there's no possibility of real disaster, real risk, we're left with no chance for real salvation. Real elation. Real excitement. Joy. Discovery. Invention. The laws that keep us safe, these same laws condemn us to boredom. Without access to true chaos, we'll never have true peace. Unless everything can get worse, it won't get any better." -Chuck Palahniuk |

Just to correct a few things:
1. It's not my quiz. ( who cares your the ring leader, so you get my gripe )
2. It's not "holier than thou" (Yeah it is , its you saying, " my forum is soooo important that everyone who posts and makes this forum what it is must jump through hoops for me again )
3. I didn't invent urbex, and never made such a claim ( well you certainly feel at will to write the rules though don't you ? )
4. If you didn't want to take the quiz, nobody forced you to. ( I took it because I wanted to tell you how I felt )
5. I don't recall insulting anybody. However, It seems your message is an insult to me. (Making experianced explorers answer stuuupid 3rd grade questions is insulting )
6. I didn't steal your thunder, and I've had my thunder stolen from me before, but i'm not sure what you mean by that. Correct , I don't claim to have thunder, like you do, and you do all you can to keep it )
7. Yes, i'll see you in june, at which point you can personally take our your objections on me and see how much I care. ( you'll just dodge me , lets be honest here )

| | | | wtf... if anyone else started posting quoted private message wars on the forum we'd be warned to stop, and our posts would be quickly swept under the rug.
[Mod Note: There is no rule preventing anyone from posting a private message they received, it's not like Av opened up Mike's private inbox and shared something he sent to some other person. -Shane]
This thread has gone out of control. Nothing's being resolved here.
I think the test was kind of useless and biased since the answers were based on the creators own personal opinions of what urban exploration is, i also felt like a little poodle jumping through hoops for a cookie - HOWEVER - i don't feel that pissing and moaning about it is going to take back the three minutes of my life i spent filling it out. It's simply not worth it. lets get back to our lives. It's not this big of a deal.
If anything, the test was simply a warning to new people who are signing up on how to behave and what's to be expected of them.

| | | | Looks like the quiz thread was locked, which kind of proves my point. The UER forum gestapo couldn't handle criticism and put a stop to it. I'm so glad we have such bevevolent moderators who are able to decide what we can and cannot say for us, I know having the ability to speak my mind was pretty stressful on me.
Anyway, I expect this thread to be locked or deleted a few seconds after I hit the "Post new thread" button, so I doubt anyone will read it. Oh well.

[EDIT: I have seen more people bitch about this goddamn quiz in the last 12 or so hours than I have seen thank him for this great forum in the last 12 days. Bitch, Bitch, Bitch. Is that what this forum is about, Bitching to the admins and mods about how you wasted [b]3 fucking minutes[/b] taking a forum quiz that only has to be taken once? No, It's about Urban Exploration. Maybe that is a little refresher. And the last time I checked this was called the "Urban Exploration Resource", not "How to piss off the people who help bring you a community of urban explorers Resource", right?]

| | | | The quiz doesn't matter much to me, even though it is just another symptom of the problem. I was pretty much willing ot drop the issue.
The fact that the thread was closed because certain moderators couldn't handle honest feedback is what burns me up.
