Because that was considered "noobish" :rolleyes: maybe you pissed someone off...

[Chronobreak]

why would you ask AO why a thread was closed on pbn


a dumb one nontheless.. :sleeping:

[Aslan]

Gotta agree.

It WAS a dumb post...but pbnation is so full of dumb posts it's like a dumb post jungle...

Sometimes I don't understand Moderators and why they do stuff. Like, I got a warning on PBReview.com today. The reason, I made a comment on an older post. In other words, I used the search function (which I thought you were supposed to do :confused: ) and found a thread about a topic I was interested in and I revived it and made a comment.

The moderator warns me saying reviving old posts is considered "spamming"...??? I don't know...it really bugs me though. I wouldn't mind getting kicked off of PBNation, I don't really like that site that much anyways...but AO and PBReview I really like...so I get a little freaked out when I get banned or warned. :nono: :eek: :nono:

Being a Mod must be interesting.

Oh...and one more thing...WHAT IS "TROLLING"? I've never figured out what that is...just see people get banned and it's listed as a reason...??? :confused: :confused:

Don't know. You would have probably been chased out of your own thread anyway. I think the Mod did you a favor & saved you the embarrassment..

well if you think about it, i had a fairly good point. today is all about shooting fast, and walking certainly isn't that. in the past with only single finger cockers and pumps, i bet walking wasn't a term. i bet it came about when speedball and electros became popular; but why walking if its about speed?

i do see the noobish side too.

"Trolling" is posting just for the sake of pissing somebody off or starting an argument, just FYI.

it's not a good point, because there's no point to be made.

But just to argue the "point"..
It stems from 'walking the fingers' which is what your hands fingers look like they're doing when they make the walking motion. In sprinting and running, legs bend differently than during walking. Your fingers don't look like that during paintball, so it doesn't even make sense on a physical level.

Let your fingers do the walking...

It was in the newbie forum... I mean, what more can one ask for? I found it rather funny personally.

So I assume these guys are the other half?

No.

Being a mod is exactly like being a ref.

Your babysitting a bunch of whiney brats (who come in all shapes sizes and ages).

When people step on their field, their egos (not the gun) skyrocket. Same thing with the internet. People sit down in front of their chair, and it doesn't matter that they're 5'3 450lbs and havent been out of their moms basement since highschool or if they're a 11 year old on his dads computer. They get an attitude becuase they dont have to look you in the eye when they tell you to "STFU".

You as a mod/ref do something about a situation, and all of a sudden your a strict *******. But next time, when you sit on your hands, its your fault for letting things get out of control.

It sucks, but its 100% amusing, so I'll keep both my ref and mod job.

:cheers:

I've never been a mod...but I have been a ref (broomball) and reffing has to be harder! I mean, these guys are in your face...with sticks in my case...and they are very, very upset. Even the winning team is upset because they thought they should have won by more!! :bounce:

As a mod...you just lock somone out and that's the end of him/her...bye bye. The odds that you'll have to meet them face to face is like 1 in 100,000...especially if you're in an entirelly different country or part of the country. As a ref, you can kick someone out...but then you got to see them in the parking lot after the game...where they've spent their "timeout" drinking and hating you. :wow: :argh: :shooting: :cuss: :cuss:
