A new section by Narin.

[psycoblaster]

ok, ok im leaving. no need to be mean.
gosh.
its not like i dont agree with you guys
i just asked a simple question. like. it wasnt supposed to be taken seriously or anything. notice the "-.-" i put in it?
i DO agree that narin shouldnt have created a group called some cheat coders club
i DO agree that narin might have been slightly abusing his power because the staff didnt all approve.
i just dont like how some people get all anal when this whole thing is so new

I just believe problems should be pointed out as soon as you find one.

I don't really care about the thread itself. I mean, it's something that deserves its space, right?
but THIS is what I object to.

I thought these was the job for mods.

By using Narin's logic of "code makers rule the code making section",
then the rom hacking section should be led by rom hackers.
The user submitted news should be led by the ones that actually does the submission.
The blog section should be led by actual bloggers.
The EOF should be led by spammers.

That pic changed my opinion too, didn't saw the Forum Led part before (since I assume they're led by mods)

While making cheat codes is not everyone can (or at least want to) do, it's not that fair to have their own club (which does sounds exclusive)

Granted, having their own section makes lots of things easier, you know where you are going, what you will find, and what everyone expected there, noweher else to go for cheat codes

But still, it doesn't feel so right, I mean, it feels like they're something beyond us casual tempers' reach, somewhere between ethereal and corporeal, you can talk to them, but somehow, it feels like they're superior than you, and the again, they're not with powers. But, they moderate their own section, their own forum, their own topics......

The only thing that should change is the feeling of exclusiveness and superiority IMO, other than that, it's perfectly fine

Look guys/gals I think we should just chill out about this now. Its been clarified that neither Shaun or Costello knew about it, there was a "hey should I do this" about the forum in the Forum Staff forum and seeing as there was no objections Narin went ahead.

That's exactly what it was

Narin works too fast and too hard, and didn't wait for our approval before going ahead

It's true. Orc does!

On Topic:

I find this all quite interesting. Sure, it was taken a bit too far by making a "Forum Led By: The Cool People". It probably would have been fine with "Moderated by: Narin, "

Some things are cluttered and GBAtemp, since I have been lurking (not since I joined), has grown and is growing each month. retention... welll

One step forward, two steps back. A cultural divide is never a good idea in a small community. On that note, secret moderator/staff forum? That's fine, you guys are the 'sysops'... I would expect no less! At least it is hidden and not flashing in our face.

Yes but he shouldn't bite more than he can chew, and ask you or anyone above his position about having mere members moderate.

So what do you want? Does Narin need to be punished right here and now to satisfy you, or is it enough to just have the administrators deal with the situation as they see fit?

The point has been made, you don't need to keep making it.

I don't want anything. I don't need anything. I don't care what happens. I don't care if I was banned from a section of a forum by a user that haven't been here for long. I won't make a difference. I'm just speaking out for myself.
I just needed a place to express my personal opinions and posting a blog was exactly the thing to do.

 

[War]

Hm... I just read the thread... while I do see your point, Noitora and psyco, I think we've all come to know Narin since he's become a moderator, and I do trust his judgment. Although I don't agree with what he did, I think you guys should just relax and let the admins take care of it. I'm sure Narin didn't just wake up and decide, "Hey, I'm gonna make me a new forum for me and my friends!" There must have been some sort of misunderstanding at some point.

I don't think Narin has mod "powers", he's technician. Fixed a lot of crap around here.

 

[War]

Well, he can apparently create forum sections and such

And that's why he's a good guy.

Nobody is bashing Narin here, or questioning his hard work or contributions to the forum!

Yet another reason why we don't need TV to get our daily soap operas. *pops some popcorn*

too much drama >.>
i think u guys all need to chill and wait till narin responds at least. though i highly disagree with the making of three forums, and creatin a club. though i feel that one forum, and narin leading it would be perfectly viable.

 

[polle123]

c'mon guys.. give the man some time to explain.

and besides, what does it matter to you that there is a seperate forum, it only pulls of presure from the NDS section (witch was getting kinda chaos

)
Its not like you have to do anything extra now its there, "u don't even have to scroll deeper couse it's at the freaking bottom!"

so cut the man some slack, if you don't like it u can always ignore it

It's not fair for others, let's say romhackers not to have their own category and their own group, if you have my whole post in the first page you wouldn't have asked that.
