What do you do when you have beef with a mod?

Long story short, Jurgen did a dirty thing in a members tourney.

I abused him, in true THRILLHO fashion gave out a good amount of verbal diarrhea, plenty of profanity. Eventually he told me if i keep swearing, he will ban me. Fine, let's disregard the fact that on any given day kdice is filled with hate language and profanity, and just accept that excessive swearing is cause for banning. We have our arguments, I tell him I am going to pge him, I think he get's jack of arguing with me so he disappears.

He comes on today and says hello - i say - go away idiot. No profanity. He tells me - keep it up and I will ban you. I asked why calling him an idiot was a bannable offence, and he cited 'annoyance' as a good enough reason to ban.

So I'm at a loss. I didn't think mod power was meant to flex e-muscle in personal vendetta's. If you are going to do assholish things in game, I should be free to be impolite to him, should i not? I don't go around starting conversations with him, he speaks to me first.

On top of that, the conversation typically deteriorates to me telling him that he is flexing his e-muscle, he tells me that he has crushed my ego and made me look a right fool in front of everyone, and I sit here baffled as to why he can harass me but i can't even be impolite to him?

I actually wish the mods of Kdice would embrace being malevolent rulers. After all it would reflect reality, it's interesting and entertaining, and more importanly it'd stop the nonsensical moronic excuses like the one Thrax just made.

Thrax, thank god people study the philosophy and the law, and we our judicial system continually tries to keep in check the fatass cops you are afraid to criticize. Stick to being a doughnut eating kdice copy. ITS ENTERTAINING!

So basically you abuse the hell out of a moderator at this website, acknowledge you broke rules and get away with the initial ban, then later call him and idiot and then say that he's the one at fault for threatening to ban you for what you claim is a petty reason?

what is this logic

Thrax - perhaps a more accurate analogy would be a police officer spills his drink on you at a pub, and you call him an idiot, and he says don't call me an idiot, i'm a cop, i will arrest you.

I'm not just sticking my finger up to authority. The line is grayed because moderators are also players, and do plenty of irritating and inflammatory in game stuff. Like i have said - i have taken on board the profanity warning, and have been swearing a lot less.

I'm just curious what the excuse is for threatening to ban me for calling him an idiot, when his in game actions were that of an idiot (in my opinion). To me it seems like an abuse of power, trying to scare me into not being a tool to him for fear of being banned. That's not what i thought mod power was for. A point Jurgen conveniently avoids in each of his replies.

You don't deny that you made the threat, but you won't acknowledge that it was wrong and lame. The only explanation that you have given me is that 'annoyance' is a good enough reason for a ban. If that's the case, and in game actions cause people to get irritated with you, perhaps moderators shouldn't be players. Or perhaps, separate your moderation from your playing, and when someone abuses you for your IN GAME behavior you should deal with it instead of hiding behind your mod badge to shut people up.

Then my next analogy would be that you have a prior record and everything you say is scrutinized more closely than others. Either way I would drop it. You made your point. The community has seen your point. Bygones be bygones?

Thrax, are you admitting you are wrong?!? If so, does that mean you are going to vote Democrat? Are pigs flying!?!?!?

I wouldn't vote for Obama unless the only other option was Jimmy Carter.

I'd vote for you.

Perhaps I haven't been clear. Under NO circumstance will I be voting for Barry.
