Nope, your title wasn't even looked at when the change was made. And no, it wasn't a problem either. You brought up that the user ranking level 'Goth as Fuck' could be seen in a poor light, so it was removed, across the board.
Albert wouldn't have even really raised much scrutiny (other than the fact that there are a LOT of complaints about their trollish posts, thread derailments, wholly useless and overly vulgar threads, etc.) if they hadn't taken the opportunity to post in a thread about a lot of new improvements being made to the community here with some sort of accusation that we'd 'take an enormous shit and spread it all over the floor' and use the rep system to cover it it. That's just kind of rude, and for someone whose account exists on such thin ice here already, it wasn't very sound judgment either. So, they were asked to clean it up a little, to which they decided to fight and whine and list asinine level one wannabe rules lawyer arguments for why they should get to continue doing their inappropriate trollish disruptive ways.

Huh. I wonder if mine (User Title) is too (wildly inappropriate).

It would be interesting to know who, other than Tam, was offended by Albert's oh so terrible title.

Again, I'd like to ask how many there actually were. You ignored that question before.

'Cover it'? Someone's taking things too seriously. Does Mr. Admin need a chill pill?

I had no clue I was on 'thin ice' up until this.

I don't remember any 'rule lawyer' arguments. I do recall calling you out on your bullshit, but I expect you wiped that from your 'brain'. haha? get it?

Thanks, that's good to know. I wish I hadn't said anything about Goth as Fuck, though. And I still feel you were too harsh on Mond's user title.

I don't know if it applies to Albert in particular, but I suspect a large number of "complaints" in the past were based on the flame war we suffered with Helpman, Eclipsing the Son and Ra Star. When a few of us made it known that we had complained about those 3 trolls they began complaining about us in return. I don't know if Gent keeps a record of who sent the complaints, but if so, I suggest any complaints from the above 3 trolls be ignored as just another tactic in their flame war.

I didn't start out harsh, but there is only so much abuse one should have to put up with when making a simple request. Now it's moot. The simple request was turned into an asinine conflict instead of just being respected. People have made too much of it at this point, so no titles or ranks. Not that this is any big deal, I'm just not in the mood for a game of 'what about this rude statement, it's a band, I swear, what about this rude subtitle, it's a medical terms, what about this rude subtitle, I'm so witty and rebellious...'

Gothic.net has taken the role of patronising kindergarten teacher righting the wrongs of internet society, just fucking brilliant, ruin my favourite forum with your ridiculous bollocks about oral sex being something to break into tears about. I guess telling people to die in fires and suchlike is out too? This is going to suck.

Yeah, I agree.
I mean, there should be a limit on what we can post.
Ch1ild p0rn should be off limits.
That's about it.
I mean, who are we even catering to?
It's not like this is going to be seen by children.
If it is, that's the PARENTS' fault, not ours.

You're right. I have to agree. I've never cared for titles/rank. They are of no consequence. Thank you.

Nope, just following up on one simple reasonable request made of one member here. After that, it's up to them whether they get treated like children or adults.

Is the histrionic exaggeration really necessary? Was Albert's childish subtitle the entire value of your favorite forum?

It has nothing to do with my faith. It just disturbs me in general.

It's inappropriate for children because it's childish.

I'm going to miss the user titles and rankings. I thought they were fun...when folks weren't trying to be immature jerks with them. :/

Yes, like a kindergartner who thinks it's great fun to shout out penis in the middle of class to get a rise out of everybody.

Are kindergartners even allowed here? Is that legal? I know we have some youngsters, but equating the users of this site to five year olds who may not even know what's between the legs of the opposite sex is rather silly.

Wait...because Isobel said something was in poor taste it gets changed immediately across the board? Wow.
Wait wait wait....i'm a freaking conservative and Mond's crude humor(less at times) antics have yet to offend me? Wow again.
Isn't there an age limit for joining GNet?

Yes, it was the value of my favourite forum, because it was part of the long-respected Gnet clause that pompous idiot admins on moral crusades are for other forums, not for this one. I can't see what you're likely to achieve here, either you're going to give in because people are ignoring you, or all of the members leave because it's not fun any more and you and Tam are left alone to have heartwarming talks together about how great authority and the enforcement of the arbitrary values of appropriate conversation is. Admins flexing their internet muscles because someone mentioned willy is one of the most pathetic things that I've seen in my life, it's like Bella Sophia became emperor.

I actually said that to demonstrate how ridiculous it was that Mond had to change his user title. And believe you me, I wish I hadn't.
