Without anyone’s knowledge, I’ve been conducting a review of the totse staff for the past several weeks. I had a secret agreement with myself so that no one else knew what I was doing. I believed this secret agreement would be helpful for testing the totse staff, and it was obviously successful. I'm posting this thread in SG because it's a very general thread. I'm not making suggestions. I'm not voicing complaints in a butthurt way. This thread is meant to be a discussion of how the staff members behave on the site and it belongs in SG. Let's hope it doesn't get moved like many of my other threads.
I used normal language and syntax to test the mods and admin. Sometimes I took on the persona of a troll in certain posts in order to see how the mods and admin would handle my on topic posting in the appropriate forums. I posted on topic and in the appropriate sections, even going so far as to make suggestions to improve the site along the way. I was treated with hostility as we will see in my examples.
Being as that so many mods are inactive on the site, I didn’t get to test them all. I'm not going to name all of them, but I think it will become fairly obvious during the course of this post who passed and who failed as a staff member.
The first test: Hitler
My hitler thread, which TDR moved:
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showthread.php?t=14230.
This thread was a political thread that was posted in the appropriate forum, PLRC, yet it was moved to NIMF by the rodent. It was later moved to HB, but at that point hitler’s birthday was basically over, which ruined the whole point of the thread. I made a thread regarding freedom of speech in response:
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showthread.php?t=14291. Nothing worthwhile came from this discussion, but several people sure got butthurt over it.
Let’s look at the bug thread next
My bug thread was a fantastic thread, which dfg and tdr shat in:
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showthread.php?p=176334http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=176334&postcount=6
I posted an on topic thread about bugs in Noah’s Ark and got off topic replies. I then said I was concerned about the off topic fail posting. However, the responses I got claimed that
there is no rule against off topic posting: http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=176532&postcount=17.
If there’s no rule against off topic posting, then why the fuck are the mods allowed to move/lock or do anything? I responded with as much, but no one realized that they were failing miserably:
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=177198&postcount=18
Why was my Hitler thread moved if off topic posting is allowed? This makes absolutely no sense. I even said I was concerned about off topic posting in H&S, which is, of course, the appropriate place for my concern because it was in the totse concerns thread:
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=176336&postcount=22. My concern was met with an absolutely inappropriate response by the rodent:
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=176369&postcount=24. He posted a picture as a response to a serious concern in a serious forum
I voiced my concern again:
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=176375&postcount=25
The response was, once again, that off topic posting is allowed and that TDR gives preferential treatment to certain members:
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=176385&postcount=27
He then said he does the same thing fatty does:
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=176399&postcount=29. So apparently it’s ok to ban fatty, but if a mod does it it’s ok? Sounds like mods aren’t just regulars after all.
The admin claimed that off topic posting is allowed and not a concern: http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=176417&postcount=30.
If it’s not a concern,
why are threads being moved, locked and otherwise fucked with? Hypocrisy indeed.
Another test: My suggestion to close the porn forum: http://www.totse.info/bbs/showthread.php?t=15033. I made a legitimate thread that was on topic, in the right forum, and a real concern.
The admin responded:
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=177602&postcount=3
His post shows his true colors: he doesn’t stick with what he says. He’s a total hypocrite when it comes to “respecting the members” and “respecting suggestions”. He said I’m a moron and got all butthurt:
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=177636&postcount=5
TDR added some AWESOME content there:
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=177799&postcount=13
I made a serious suggestion, but he then moved my thread to NIMF even though it was a legitimate concern that several other members agreed should be looked at:
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=178089&postcount=29So my suggestion was “shitty” and I was a “moron” for making that suggestion. The admin was obviously unable to make a decision without his emotions clouding his judgment, which is totally unacceptable.
I did exactly what I was supposed to do: I made a thread in B&M, but he admin didn’t like that at all. He won’t play by his own rules.
My B&M thread about the admin moving my porn forum suggestion: http://www.totse.info/bbs/showthread.php?t=15080
I wasn’t trolling. I really thought and still think the porn forum is worthless. Totse doesn’t need that kind of traffic. However, my suggestion was met with a butthurt admin:
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=178094&postcount=2Yet dfg said, “H&S is a serious section but I never stopped someone from posting whatever they feel like.” (
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=176429&postcount=32)
The admin was easily baited into emotionally distraught rampages to the point where he was unable to respond to me without being pissed:
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=176489&postcount=39http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=177249&postcount=42
Obviously this is inappropriate behavior for the leader of the site.
I made a legitimate thread that turned into a huge bitchfest where the admin and certain mods acted totally unprofessionally. Here the admin admits to copying and posting IRC logs :facepalm: :
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=171624&postcount=45
I mean seriously? Posting IRC logs? That’s obviously not what an admin should spend his time doing.
I made this thread
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showthread.php?t=15030 just to see if the admin would take the bait and get all butthurt. He did. I made a thread about fatty and then changed the title and OP. He raged, which is obviously behavior unfit for an admin.
Passing mods:
Culinary Overlord:
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=177249&postcount=42
He said his piece and didn’t say shit about me after that. He handled himself exactly as he should have and I’m very proud of him, even though he still hates me.
Mayberry: Completely ignored me when I was posting like a troll and remained stoic in the face of my provocative posts. He didn’t hurl insults, move my on topic posts/threads or cause any huge scenes, unlike many others.
General McBoozer: He conducts himself well pretty much everywhere. He doesn’t let members bait him easily and he seems genuinely concerned about free speech. He’s doing a good job.
trx: only made one comment about me being a shitty poster now. For the most part he stays on topic and doesn't start shit or hurl insults. Definitely doing a good job.
As for who failed, I think that’s obvious enough that I’m not going to spell it out here at the end.

lol fag
so I'm posting here, not quite caring too much because I'm 15 minutes away from a hyperspace launch.

As your test shows you wanted to create drama, test or no test, you were handled correctly.
In your bug thread you go from zero to REAG in no seconds flat.
After that, Dfg clearly acknowledges you want a serious answer, and he respectfully gives you his experience with the subject.
We're all supposed to be buddies here, aren't we? They made a few lame jokes about a usergroup here, and you jumped the game. You escalated it into butthurt, rather than just going "Hey guys, jokes aside, have any useful info? Please don't clutter my thread."
Do you blow up that easy on your IRL friends if you ask them a legit question, and they pull something to the effect of "Your mom" or "That's what she said?"
I agree with you on what it seems you're going on about, but you're not actually helping with the way you're going about it. Your current method is just ripping off your credibility.
Anyways, like I said, I don't recognize you. I have no prefabricated opinion other than what I've seen in this thread.
Cool intentions, bro. Bad delivery.
As for trying to point out the flawed mods and admins, yes, we know. I like DFG, not in a kiss ass sycophantic way, more in a 'yo man, continue the struggle as best you can', way. There really is no one ready to fill his shoes, and I think it is unlikely he will have any great revelations reading your post, as your behavior continues to be confrontational, more so than needed I think. So deal with what you have instead of what you want, thats what the buddhists do, until someone shoots them, that is.
As for TDR, he is an easy person to pick a fight with, and he will never let anything rest. That said, he is pretty easy to deal with, I had a post entitled "Native Canadians; the niggers of the north" well underway, as a tribute to Sanchez, it rests now in limbo, awaiting a mod that will not censor or move the resulting shitstorm, it will be just as good when I post it after TDR is gone. Malevolent people tend to have a shelf life here, some longer than others. TDR's dance on a razor blade between being a mod and being an asshole can't last forever, and I can't help but bring up the thrashing Bunghole gave Katz over his 'what do I do with...", posts, Bunghole lost interest, and is now gone, nobody stood up for Katz, and yet it sorted itself out eventually. Unfortunately Katz's next contribution to the site will likely be the cold fusion reactors that will power the world, and totse.info, such is life.
TDR will either discover the light side of the farce, and maybe actually contribute something worthwhile (do it TDR, give us one good political diatribe that will make us think a bit), or fully embrace the darkside and end up licking sith ass in Yorkton, NJ. I am greatly encouraged by the absence of certain people here, I really think the productive plants are starving out the weeds, finally.
C/O
"no quote, and get that fucking camera off me, fuck you **pUNCH**"
Also, the showthread on whatever post of mine you wanted to reference was wrong, pls fix, as I am curious as to which of the times I ripped on you lately it is.
Piss off
ELL OH FUCKIN ELL @ the "response" the never ending drama queen/problem child brings to the table. :facepalm:
What baffles me most about all of this isn't Rodent's insecurity and abusive behavior....instead its Dfg's refusal to do anything about it. Dfg CONTINUES to ignore these problems for several months now, and coming up with every lame excuse in the book why Rodent is somehow in the "right".
Its sad Dfg, it really is. You have worked so hard on this place.....yet you are willing to let your ridiculous alliance to a very toxic person piss on your own integrity as well as Totse's integrity. Don't get me wrong, people will make bad decisions along the way...that is inevitable. But for MONTHS you keep hanging your hat on Rodent, ever since the Yoda fiasco....and you still haven't figured it out he isn't doing a fucking "good" thing for anyone. Most importantly yourself.
What takes this thing to an even sadder level, is most of us have seen this movie before. Anyone from Zoklet can attest to it....Rodent has pretty much become Totse.info's version of Wires.
Drama after drama, problem after problem, putting out fire after fire....and Dfg is STILL willing to endure all the OBVIOUS bullshit and headaches Wires.....errrrrr, I mean Rodent's nonsense brings to us........for what exactly? :thumbsdown:
You must be using Rodent's dictionary, because you are making up new meanings to words. What I was doing was "scoffing".....completely opposite of "whining".
Stick around Batman, once Rodent has tainted this place enough to create enough stupidity and irrelevance....so many people will have left, and your kind of "contributions" will be badly needed to distract people from the tumbleweed rolling by.
Wasn't it just a couple of weeks ago Dfg had certain restrictions on some Newer Arrivals......their posts had to be approved because of the mysterious rhetoric of "they are damaging to Totse.info and we must watch over them".
Despite the fact Deadly Discourse posted in concise paragraphs (albeit with a a lot of sauce and substance that made a couple of folks a bit sweaty under the collar), he had to be on some kind of leash....yet THESE kind of n00bs with nothing more than 4-channing slobber is "acceptable" posting, huh?
Goooooooo Totse. :rolleyes:
Those were alts. And they were screened. I don't recall enforcing a global screening role. Btw it's hilarious to see how predictable this is. when I saw TDR comment I knew what was going to happen and after couple of hours, voila.
GOOOO DG!
And you won't say a fuckin thing about you STILL insisting on hanging your hat on Rodent. Seriously man, why are you so willing to piss all of your hard work away.....all for one toxic member that is constantly bringing this place down?
And don't you dare try to blame this on anyone else other than Rodent because when you had me perma-banned for months (and before I regged) Rodent was in drama after drama almost on a daily level.
Cmon Dfg....again by you PURPOSELY IGNORING the issues like you are day after fuckin day, you are just Zok V2.0. Why do you want that recognition?
Please explain to us....why are you so willing to be the Zok to Rodent's version of Wires???????
This is Totse??
hahahahahaha
Nah....wanna see what is REALLY "hilarious" about all this? You taking a big phat shit all over this site and the rest of the staff, all because you are too stupid and stubborn to remove Rodent's modship. Here again....more wanton disregard for other people's requests....because his uncontrollable and immature urges are just too much for him to resist.
Boozer makes this request....
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=179033&postcount=87
...and most everyone else complies as best as they can. Of course Rodent don't give a fuck, it ain't about anyone else but him....what is his important "contribution" later on in the thread?
http://www.totse.info/bbs/showpost.php?p=179482&postcount=114
Mind you that is the second time he posted that message that is now spam, because the first time it was moved to B&M for its irrelevance. So while Rodent continues to strut around doing whatever the fuck he likes, you are clearly defining the pecking order Dfg.....
The Dark Rodent > General McBoozer
Helluva way to handle a situation, throw the rest of your staff under the bus and just laugh at how "hilarious" the never ending dramas are around here. :thumbsdown:
Yup. Very. Hilarious. Indeed. :cool:

It also shows that some people didn't bother to read it . I might be one of them.
TL;DR?
You lied and accused me you fucking idiot. Would I bother with someone who clearly wants to create drama and lie all the time? No.
I don't trust you, you're an idiot who gets butthurt easily, you showed what you're capable of doing when you were a mod. All your recent attempts here have been to create drama and do nothing else.
As a user I am allowed to bitch and respond to your idiotic posts in whatever fashion I can as long as my posts pretain to community rules.
Anyway, your experiment failed since you only tried to cause problems and not actually fix them.
Errrr ummmmmm....Fang, myself and several others are actually trying to "fix" the problem.....which is why we keep harping on the fact you NEED to get rid of Rodent as a staff member because he is a blight on this place.
That IS the problem that needs to be taken care of....but keep on avoiding the purple elephant Dfg, its bound to go away all by its lonesome.....;)
It was white, how the fuck did it change into purple?
You're now chaning elephants colors, THIS IS JUST INSANE! Why would you hurt the cute elephant. Anyway, I am off to sleep.
In regard to this topic....most of us believed you already were.
Sweet dreams Dfg, this thing will all be better by the time you awaken.....and your tactics(?) will be validated. :rolleyes:
CURSE YOU! It's 28C outside and I am sleepy as hell. Although I would love to stick around and post more about Chrome and FF webstore which I just stumbled upon after weeks of isolation from real information and mostly Internet and spent some important time arguing with you, I physically can't. I do hope I get some sweet dreams tonight.
Well I wouldn't expect a master craftsmen to engage a novice in a serious contest.
I have almost 6000 posts. How do you not know who I am? Why are you a mod again? :facepalm:
Should have been that one.
As I said, I don't post much, and here with finding out Daguru and -SpectraL are back, I'm finding all the more reason to not bother.
You forgot one bro.
11. Almost no one reads your posts.
Awwwww.....did the poor wittle baby gets his fee-wings hurt by a big bad mean pile of text on a message board?
And just WTF were you doing on Totse any how, if a couple of posters can "run you off".....you thin skinned little chimpanzee?
Yeah boohoo...this will be a much worse place without you, so many people were wondering where your 300 posts in the last 10 months has been, and the thought provoking discourse you provided left us always wanting for more. :facepalm:
Before you leave, can ya do me one last favor first? Can I tie a note to your ankle, like someone would to a homing pigeon....trying to get a message to its master?
Dear Poast Bortem....
DaGuru says "Hi". :cool:
kthnxbai
And of course evidence to that being is Spectral IS the guy perma-banned for a couple of months because his text was "dividing community, trying to bring down Totse.info".....blah, blah, blah. :eek:
Totse.info had to perma-ban the guy that "no one" ever listens to, huh? :rolleyes:
See spec you old cunt, Why don't you post like DG here. :rolleyes:
Finally!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Holy shit, HE IS ALIVE!
*hugs*
We thought you died, we were honestly worried about you
