So do I, we are discussing a problem with Omnimaga Forums in general :s

well, that makes this topic in the wrong forum section. am i right?

Well, I will let it open, but if someone bump it 4 months later without even checking what happened first, then attempts at instigating a fight, he's sure gonna get a -1 respect and warning from me.

I'M not a big fan of locking topics either. I was just a bit worried it could lead to that, because there are such people on the Internet.

I feel that there is a problem with Cemetech, and after several events that wound me up more and more about it, I felt the need to post about it, hoping that something would be done about it.

Which post?

Do you mean SirCmpwn's post that was purposely intended to discuss about the purpose of this topic, defeating its purpose?

the first one. when i said post i meant to refer to the whole topic in general.

Personally, I rated down the post, because I and others have brought up problems from other sites on here or vice-versa in the past, and it only caused more problems than it should. Such matter should be discussed with the admin concerned, or the admin should discuss them with you, like I do everytime there is an issue between an Omni member and myself/my site.

I disagree that the rant should have been deleted, I think it would be fine since it would clarify things, but it is Kerm's website: He has the right to decide what is allowed and what's not, and you can do nothing about it. The only thing you can do is if something wrong occurs on Omnimaga directly. It's like if someone complains that we're too strict on rude comments: Omnimaga is our site and we reserve the right to punish people who are unnecessarly rude to others. Cemetech is not Omnimaga and Omnimaga is not Cemetech. It's Kerm decision run run Cemetech how he does. I tried convincing every admin of other sites to disallow rude comments before and it gave me a bad reputation for a while, because they are not my site and admins there can run them how they want.

That said, I do not know what happens behind the scenes and I effectively saw words "omnidrama" or "omninoobs" before, but we can do nothing about it. If people notice bad things said against Omnimaga, it's up to them to decide if they mind it or not and if they want to stay or leave. If you have suggestions to improve Cemetech, you should post them in his website sub-forum. If they get censored, then at least you will have tried to post them at the right place.

I'm leaving this topic intact and open, but if it turns into an Cemetech bashing thread or an inter community dispute, I will lock it and take the usual action against those who participated. Let's learn from the community past mistakes that nearly caused its death, shall we?

^ this

quite frankly, I go on both sites, but in my personal opinion [/dont hurt me] I HAVE noticed that omni tends to get a few newbies that are n00bs, but al least when they act like that, they get the right punishment
