Can we get a forum hierarchy please?

I mean, if my posts can be controlled by admins and moderators, meaning they have control over everybody else, why not have other stages of rank and power as well? I mean it is only fair.

ADDED: Does it make sense for me to have the same rights as LRA2 or RM2444? How about newbies? Are they as good at giving advice or knowing about the history of the game or they way things are run?

Are the Admins and Moderators the only people in power? I thought a forum was a place from Ancient Rome and symbolized democracy? Power to the people? Not here...You can even make this a US Government, which in reality is a Hierarchy with just c and balances...but it is NOT fair for someone like Myself Sage or Scrap Daddy be among the same class as LRA2 Roboman and System32.

ADDED AGAIN: In the past there has ALWAYS been an hierarchy. When I was young to the game I did as I was told and never defied. I waited my turn. I lurked in the shadows of RA2 greats, and even with my limited knowledge, back then I still had differentiating opinions, but I never voiced them. But now the system has broken down and builders have not been 'raised' the same way as of recent. So when people dont read rules or dont follow directions or dont listen to advice or double post and silly stuff like that its because they dont LISTEN. And people need to LISTEN TO AUTHORITY. Its how all of us were raised and schooled, there is NO DENYING that.
MORE ADDED: I may not be in contention for an ADMIN spot anytime soon, nor is anybody else. But does my authority even exist in its common state right now? Not really, but people are still scared, hurt, and affected by what I say, so why not give ranks of power to prevent fallouts from happening in the future? It would HELP by limiting newB rants and disobediences as well as preventing the 'spamming' going on by alot of members on the forum.

-This is focused at RM and LRA2©-

You told me to make the community better. So I am going to.

I said to improve your attitude and stop posting junk....this is the opposite. All you want is to have power to flatten guys who disagree with you.

No thats false. Did I include you with the likes of the ninnys? No. My name says I am a veteran, but I am not treated like one... And you certainly deserve something more than the 1400+ Superheavyweight Rank next to yours.

Flying_Chao · « **Reply #7 on:** September 29, 2009, 08:03:16 PM »

So, what is it that you actually want? Admin powers against non-veterans? Post limits for non-veterans?

Even if your not an admin or mod and have to vote for something to happen, chances are it'll just have an outcome of things like banning LRA2 just because people dislike him.

Isn't it what the community wants? What it is now wont work, there is no order of semblance.

No, he should have been already, and hasnt.

Middle management would do nothing but kill the community. I mean the only reason anyone puts up with them is because they need the money from the job.

So we're getting punished for not playing the game since '04?

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #12 on:** September 29, 2009, 08:16:11 PM »

Whatever, I am not going to open people's eyes. I'll leave and whoever is interested in my work will know how to find me.

Maybe we should punish the people that were still in diapers in 04?

Your posts were deleted because you were slamming somebody for the way they voted.....That is not very democratic!
Members do move into a position of power, but they must be level headed and not ban the members.....the members make this forum....this is NOT aceuplink. Members can, and have been banned when they get way out of line, but a suspension usually controls the problem.

If everybody could ban, I am sure several would have banned you for that rant in the BOTM voting.

My internet is so slow it makes dial-up look like T1, you were ranting in the VOTE thread where chatter is not allowed.....VOTE ONLY......and I never said a word even tho you were working my ass off.

Opinions are like assholes....everybody has one, and you should not be able to force your opinion off on people just because some guy wants to vote for the splash more than the bot build.

Wow Inf, you had to steep this low.
I ask you this, why do you even bother? You act like a jack ass, you have to criticize on each builder, most of which is often negative, and is rarely useful.

Is there anyone on your side on this? I could care less about Roboman and LRA2, and the ignore button exists for a reason. I have seen other guys at my high school daily that act more mature than you do, IN THE FRESH MEN CLASS.

If you hate this community, leave then. Start your own forum. See if I care. Just stop the hate threads and posts.

Someone FINALLY understands how I feel!

He can make the rules for the next BOTM and criteria to vote on (even tho there will be at least one idiot not following the rules) I see where he is coming from as several people made kinda dumb comments......but it is their right. I think obongo should be banned from the US.....but I will never get my way.

How about it ~~SomeSortOfChaos~~ errr....I mean infiniteinertia.....do you want to do the next BOTM, I mean all rules and voting criteria?
