DigitalPoint moderator disgraces the forum and all mankind

Discussion in 'General Chat' started by minstrel, May 23, 2005.

    See this thread.

    The D-P Moderator jokingly known as "TOPS" makes a promise and then tries to weasel out of it...

    This is not only a disgrace to the words "TOPS" but also to the reputation of the forum known as DigitalPoint and the future of democracy.

    Let your voice be heard!

    Those who do not condemn treachery and dishonesty by their inaction support it!

    :mad:

    Let me hear your voices raised:

    I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE! :mad: :mad:

    It's at times like this that it is important to remember that it is as important to keep your promises as it is to spot the promises that others make but can't possibly keep.

    Having said that I still think you should get some recognition for your effort.

    ps. Most important is not to make promises you can't keep, but we all (well obviously not all) know that.

    Well...
    Minstrel - you're technically right. Tops is confused because it says 1000 replies and since there's 1 post, and 1000 replies, his is technically post #1001 and reply #1000.

    It depends on the initial wording of the deal. If it was who gets the #1000 post or who gets the thousandth reply...

    The initial wording of the deal very clearly says "post".

    TOPS is very clearly a weasel. :mad:

    It's sad to see people sink so low. T0PS was once a good man....somewhat of an icon around here.

    At least our DP Mayor-elect is a fine, upstanding gentleman...MAKES ME PROUD!

    I think the Pub Incident may have affected his judgement.

    Yeah, it's like he did a complete 360*.

    Maybe he needs to be bonked over the head in order to return to normal.

    You kids need help. Real kids don't cry over a measly poll. :D

    Message from Google....

    Bah! According to Google, even the first post is a post. There for Google says
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=184450&postcount=1000
    is the winner!!!!!!!

    Um Minstrel, you are allready #1 in the poll, so why are you even depressed over this??!!!! :D TOPS just might be tempted to take 10 votes away from you.

    Then again, in the post announcing the prize, Tops said

    There for according to that part of the post, Tops is the winner!!!!!!!!! But how do we know no posts were deleted! :D

    The only thing that is clear out of this whole sorry mess is that TOPS cannot be trusted...

    ...and that I was poster #1000 and TOPS owes me 10 votes.

    It's the principle of the thing :mad:

    Trust me, no posts were deleted (you can verify this by looking at the post numbers).

    Yes I should have said 'replies' rather than posts, it would have made things easier but all that aside, I CAN'T EVEN GIVE ANYONE 10 FREE VOTES.Not even myself (as the rightful winner ;) ) As I said before the 1000th even surfaced, it was a bogus offer.

    A seasoned politician like Minstrel obviously takes this opportunity and blows it out of proportion just for self benefit. Good on you. My bad. You've won the poll anyway, congrats.

    It's a sad sad day for DP when there's a whole thread dedicated to some misdemeanor in a thread containing a poll. As TOPS said let's get back to some quality posts! ;)
