I wonder what the solution to the problem Bennie was describing really was? I think hate of HB had alot to do with its removal. I dont understand where all that negativity was coming from. No one was making you people play or like HB. I guess hating a mode can be a good enough reason to remove it if youre an editor.
That's quite an extensive troll-quote list from Bennie. :lol: I agree, there was a lot of bias in the decision and little mud-flinging like that didn't help create constructive debate on whether removing HB was a good idea or not - or even necessary.
And yes, psycho doesn't like HB and tending the community is probably the last thing on his to-do list, but that's HIS viewpoint - and he's entitled to it. Yes, the red in his name does command authority - but his views doesn't necessarily conform everyone's views 100%. This was the point of forming the DevTeam, to grab a more thorough approach on how to change the game and dilute out the bias. Yes - despite this there was still a heavy bias against HB in this group - but that doesn't mean everyone has the same goals, views, and priorities in their mind on what's best for the game... Go dig up what the other DevTeam members say before jumping to the conclusion that they all think HB is the cancer killing BT and that they all want HBers to go play Battleships:
Velocity2k
Paladon
Exodus
Bob666
Saiyuki
eSVau
DerSatan
Prog
Frechheit
sam_ach
Metaller
If everyone in this group hated HB as much as Bennie - perhaps you would like to explain why some of these DevTeamers are approving your posts?
eSVau is an easy one. He still claims HB was never proved as being a popular mode. Paladon is Anti HB. Psycho is anti HB. Exodus and Bob666, to my understanding their leaving is what gave the other editors the opportunity to remove HB? Maybe im wrong on that one. The rest i dunno. Ill have to look into more deeply.
Why are they approving my posts? Its not because they like me or my viewpoints. Its more to do with this. The illusion of neutrality and fear of being seen as an abusive biased forum. Why else would they need to make you a moderator? Clearly they cant judge for themselves what is right. The disturbing facts are that negative emotions and hate played a role in removing HB. How large a role? You decide. What bothers me is that a few sour apples can ruin it for the rest of us.

Why would some1 ban you for having a different opinion as an admin. This would be abuse in its best.
Believe me i know exactly what the editors are thinking and whats going on here. You dislike my opinions you dislike me and youre yearning for an excuse to get rid of me. But you dont want to be seen as biased abusers of forum power because that will look badly on you. So, youre just waiting for me to fuck up so you can claim to have a legitimate reason for getting rid of me. It will usually be something like spam or trolling with little or no warning.
