Hello, as you can see I am the glorious Klippy.

It has come to my attention that seeing a thread titled "ATTENTION: Forum Administration" was locked and the user was warned for the reason the topic was purely about the banning of Krafty Quill about his topic that a mod closed and got him banned for.

Topic in question: http://www.pkmncommunity.com/showthread.php?t=97341

Now my question topic is not in relation to the author of the topic in question and by no means am motivated by getting his topic closed and him nearly banned, however this has got me thinking in a rather political manner.

I have read, re-read and read again the rules. I fail to see why Plateface's topic was closed for purely for no reason. Is this how the Pokémon Community reacts to topics that are played with friendship and love?

Isn't anyone allowed to have a bit of a giggle at threads based on bannings of topics about poo jokes? Or was the Assistant Administrator in a bad mood? Hmm, if not then why can't we have a bit of a giggle at threads based on bannings of topics about poo jokes? Most of us find them filled with relevant information, just like the next man who finds car mechanic help threads informal. Surely they're not appreciated by overprotective parents of 5 year old children (purely because they're either Mormons or strange) but the thing is, everyone on these forums are older than 5, most are older than 10 and a truckload of them are older than 15. I understand that the Pokémon Community aims at a very young audience, but how young? The system presented by the multiple closings and bannings also make it out that members can't have debates, or arguements concerning a subject about poo jokes! Now I'd rather not be insulted and be told "You can't have intelligent debates because people will see ANGRY MODE!!"

I would approach this matter of maturity via private message, but I don't seem to get a response from Scizz who could possibly be able to answer my concerns easily, but ignoring important things that I believe necessary to be discussed is rather rude because isn't a community supposed to value its members? Hmm, strange!

Yes I have been warned in the past, and I do believe that the ones responsible were just doing their job, and such, but no assistance with responding to my inquiry WHY I was warned? I mean come on, what is this? Warn and ignore and flex your INTERNETS POWER?

This communication of Admins with Warned Users should be taken seriously, because MANY warned users have no idea why they were warned in the first place and this lack of communication is pretty poor because this can help the warned user become a BETTER user!

I have read the rules, (aha as aforementioned) http://www.pkmncommunity.com/showthread.php?t=91723

And I am not breaking any rules regarding the inquiry of why users are being treated as little squirming ants.

Thank you for reading and I do hope I get a pleasing message because I have grown to love this community and I hope I am treated with the same respect as I give to everyone on these boards.

- Klip.

This is very important and by the post of this user, this matter really needs to be taken seriously Administration and PC owners.

My thread distinguished why there is no open thread that has intelligent discussions and debates concerning how to improve the world, even how to improve this forum, you know - stuff that INTELLIGENT people can comprehend. I don't understand why stupid little threads that ask the question "LUL I M BEIN PICKED ON WAHWAHWAH" and they're not considered as spam when a matter like this can easily be identified by PM. I'm sure that thread should be locked because of what Scizz has defined to me as "spam".

I suggest you go over your rules and update them because there are ever so many forums that have spaces for intelligent discussions and would become more popular with intelligent people on this forum. I KNOW there are intelligent people on this forum because I have spoken to many of those. There are others that arn't at all bright/witty and act all sulky.

Now by all means, forbid any use intelligent and witty discussions aboard this forum and treat the intelligent ones here as stupid little Pokemon nerds as if we're all 5 years old, because all that seems to be encouraged on these forums is OMM WUT LEVUL IS UR PACHEERASEW!!?LOL!?.

And I am totally aware that this is a Pokemon forum, but mixed discussions and topics should be encouraged so people don't feel so special.

Thank you Klip for your beautiful support and thank YOU PokéCommunity for taking the time of day of locking such lovely threads. :)

I'd post in the other thread but that was closed while I was making a hefty reply.

In relation to Mizuki;

I suggest you stop. For one, I'm highly offended that I tried to help, though I may have been way off the mark, I would thank you for not realizing that I stated the blunt fact. You pinned this on Krafty's thread, and on his ban. If that's not what you're trying to fix, then don't pin dirt on his name for no reason, because he has nothing to do with you and your opinion on his thread closure. If he doesn't have any issue's with it, don't take advantage of his ban and talk about him behind his back.
I'm not doing what you claim I am doing. I'm not taking advantage of his ban but I am using it as an example of my arguement, surely you being a moderator should be able to understand that? (I relay what happens on these forums because I consider him to be a great friend thank you very much. He has nothing to do with this affair at all, since I was tempted to post something about this back early last month when Legends was banned.)

Also, I personally don't think you'll get banned for voicing your opinion if you do, it's because you are going about it in a rude, and extremely unprofessional way. This is the most immature way to express an opinion, throwing insults at others, and hoping for the best.

There's a rule called respect, and it's something you get when you're respectful to others. You don't need to tell me "If you'd read the post" in such a condescending way.

I'm sorry I didn't read the first post clearly, but please inform me in a way that doesn't rub off quite so rude.
I'm not being rude, I'm taking the language context in a manner as a politician would. Surely your country is run by politics and not by "Oh lets jump in the lovely little sunshine and splash water on our feet!" expressions. If you cannot tolerate mature and arguementive (not in an aggressive tone, which is what NONE of this is) debates then why are you a moderator? Why is this Question forum here?

Hello?! Have you considered the rules you are breaking by posting this and then fighting it when the admins TOLD you not to discuss it?!?! You revived a thread and began flaming the staff who was clearly just doing their jobs!!!
I did not flame anyone, if I did I would be calling the victim (when there isn't one in this case but lets introduce one - and I shall call him Roger Bobs) a retard and another demeanical terms that I do not use in civilised conversations.

I was not informed by any admin to halt debates at all. So don't involve yourself into discussions that do not involve you Poketrainer2004, thank you for your input however.

I agree. Expressing your opinion in this manner is extremely inappropriate and is against the rules anyway.
State clearly where it forbids an expression of your opinion and posting questions on this forum in the ruling guide.

It'd be pretty ironic if that is the case.
------------------------------------
*My behaviour and attitude towards the PokéCommunity staff, moderators, administrators and the owner - Arcanine is to be derogatory and demeaning. This is false.

I want to make it absolutely CLEAR that I have no intention of making any self feel insulted and as if they can't do their job on this forum (which is not the case).

I clearly have respect for the staff here, otherwise I wouldn't be making any attempt on putting my feedback on this forum because it seems as if people are shot down at the opening instance for no reason (because they don't break the rules DUH).

Now there is definetly a chance, by my instincts that there is a plot by one of the moderators to get me perma-banned, for what? Standing up and trying to get a point across? Isn't this forum for community related questions? The point goes far because it seems as if there are hidden rules encrypted in our little pixels.

Lose respect from me, lose a member from PC. That shall start a chain reaction, believe me. Why have Klippy, RMXP User and other unnamed followed me? I'm sure they'd follow me to the end, now you wouldn't want that to happen since this is a well established Pokémon forum.

Oh I'd also like to make a complaint that from a few months ago I was being called 'sweetie' by Jeremy continuously and being constantly called that when I asked him to stop. If this is how moderators treat members offline forums then I don't know what type of people you really are.

Thank you for reading.

Was going to make a new topic but felt that this forum has been flooded with enough topics for the past hour.

Just noticed I made a double post - Doh!

Have you people not been at PC long enough? They have a very simple system. Many things you're not encouraged to discuss--first and primarily, or perhaps one of the most significant, is the discussion of one's ban. You'll also notice that majority of the time if a thread is perceived as 'getting worse,' it'll automatically get locked. Also, I'm sorry but the ban was justified in PC's case. Idle spamming and chatter is a'okay! But little kids don't like discussion of one's own feces, mind you. God forbid what he typed in the first post, or else I'd make a clearer judgment. But such is not the case, so I'll stop there. Best of luck getting things resolved. =)

Um, okay, first of all the thread is slightly suggestive and therefore inappropriate, and the rules state that you should keep things appropriate, for all ages, etc. And it's just plain pointless. The poll is pretty badly made and makes no sense.

Plateface, you're getting a warning. We've told you time and time again that bans are a matter between the staff and the person that was banned. You refuse to drop it. You've also shown an extremely poor attitude, with your snide remarks and smartass posts. Therefore, you're getting a formal warning for your attitude. This also happens to be your last warning. You've been banned twice before, so this one's permanent. Goodbye.
