okay okay!
you crazy stoners,
edit
big problems with the ranks??what are you talking about caro?yeh was gunan make afew changes, mix a in afew new ones from the list higher suggested , a few of my own and try find some others. as for major problems, thats a mighty exxageration. it wont take me long to alter them when we can decide upon the ranks, so im not really sure why you see these as major problems!so its not even a problem.
as for more hands make less work, yes, which is why the mods can ban people change posts, check ips and more.
in the past, for a great deal of the time weedguru has been online, the mods have had almost admin powers. this was cool, the work they have done is amazing, weeedguru wouldnt be where it is now if it wasnt for them. I would never dispute that.
We havent had an active admin on here for ages, but the last few months we have; me,
yeh I havent sorted out the update or the shop, which are burning issues for everyone, but i have been onto asmodeus, and he will do it very soon like xmas/new year period
as i have been on here pretty much 24/7 the last few months, i have tried to help everyone who has asked for ne kinda help, have tried to get to know more of the members and the mods good work they do.
as we have had many problems with passwords, wording changes and other strange occurences, that orignate directly from the admin sectionof the site. I felt that given an active admin was about, that i should restrict un-needed access to this delicate area of the forums, to admin.
I didnt have ne intention of taking away MOd's banning powers,
ip checkings powers,
post editing/deleting/moving powers.
which i thought were their most important powers as MODS.
the response to my move, has been somehwat disgusting with scathing personal attacks sending me to a point where i think that
some people think more of their own powers on the site, than for the actual weedguru site itself.
i feel kinda bad, that i started the site(with asmodeus), and because some other people have been kind enough, and enjoyed kinda running it for a while, that they think that they are in charge of the site, the owners included.
the abuse that i have recieved far outweighs the reality of my move to restrict wording and rank access, to the Admin only.
I am not going to spend my christmas, responding to every angry insult and personal abuse from people, who frankly, are either filled with pure hatred for me, or who only like weedguru when they have almost total access to admin powers.
i just dont get it really
yes i dont trust a few mods now, but i was punishing nobody when i changed mod priveliges. else why the fuck would i still let mods have post editing?userbaning?ip checking?and some other priveligies??why?
it beats me really
so think what you think about me, but please try to understand that this issue has arisen from a step i thought was +VE towards making the forums more secure, and kinda getting it ready for asmo to spend time updating, without fear of neone having acces but me. yes we have the same access and icould prbably be guided trhough the update, but i care 2much4weedguru and respect all the hundreds of posts by many members, to risk me doing the update.
so yeh hope that prtty much rounds up what i think has happened.
there is always alot more to stories than what people say in anger in public.
i am realy not prepared to keep comiong back over and gaain to defend some more lines of wisdom delivered from the MODS or X mods, whoever!
i will just wish everyone a happ christmas, and yeh sorry some of you felt the need to make public your frustrations and anger, but thats life isnt it, we are alarge dynamic group of people from all over the world. always gotta bear that in mind.
we dont think the same, we dont feel the same, but for me personally, i dont want to be surrounded, in a circle of mods and admins, by people who hate me with real rancour.....
im sorry the owner wants to actually have some privelgies 2, you whiney bastards.....
yes lunatic swines made me laugh, thats was good!!
im just gunna try spend trhe rest of this festive period drinking some nice single malt whiskey, easting lovely food, smoking some good ausiie pot,and trying to steer clear of people who yeh have really distate for my presence on this planet, and trying to connect with warm lovely people...
i hope you can all do the same!!
He's the only one who can do it now and there are a LOT of problems with the ranks.
