Yes, that is uday, not me.

If you have received a PM from this user claiming that you have violated some forum rules, please forward the entire PM to one of the moderators: myself, AliceFromMoscow, Camrade, Rick. We have already reported to Admin to ban this user.

Seems more like Spice or Vitali to me, judging from words used.
Anyhow, I would have to be stupid to think it was you who sent me this.
"Mediashaik" ? Sounds like an internet obsessed Arab to me.
This is what happens when you let little chickenshit kids have a computer, and internet access. I sure wouldn't sweat it it I were you. There is only one Mediashark. I thought it was funny in a pathetic sort of way. Laughing

2 yorbcbud and vitalsigns

Please, stop polluting this forum with your stupid comments. It's really getting too much and nobody's clever enough to stop first. You're using the bandwidth, and you even made this "technical" topic into an exchange of obscentities. Just don't do it, please, or I'll have to ask moderators to ban you both for a few months.

I personally do not care. This forum is like a dysfunctional family anyway. I do not know what to expect at any given day. Some days no mod, admin say nothing when everyone acts like a jerk, then you come and all of a sudden we use your precious bandwith. What's that all about?

Also, I can always use "hide your IP" software to sign up under any name I want (not that I've ever done it). Vitalsigns has become "old" anyway. I am tired of him myself.

Waytorussia, what is it all about? What CAN we talk about then? Who then CAN be on this forum? Only people that say everything right? Why are you guys all of a sudden so protective? Do you think if we are all gone, all of a sudden the forum will be flooded with thousands of posters? Maybe... but I highly doubt it. We (argumentative people) have made this forum alive, in a kinda funny, appealing way.

I am outta here. Bye.

PS: Waytorussia if I could say one thing before I am gone for good. PLEASE, change all your mods. They are not the people who should run this respectable forum. AliceFromRussia a mod? Are you kidding me?

It's your site. I'll respect your wishes. You should be a little more consistent on what is or isn't allowed, though. It does seem to vary greatly.

Look, I am okay with you guys chatting--but seriously this is an announcement thread, not a chat-thread. You may think it's funny, but it's not. Will you please exercise some consideration?

I will split this later but for now I gotta go. Next time I may not be so nice.

Ok, guys, whoever wants is welcome to leave this forum and not to post again. In any case, the main subject of this forum is Russia (travel, life, people, etc.) not your personal relationship with another poster or the rubber dolls that somebody is (allegedly) using. So, the forum will not suffer too much if you leave. We're not after the number of posters, but after the quality of posts. Maybe I would reconsider though if I was selling rubber dolls.

And by the way, what's the problem with AliceFromMoscow? Is the fact that she's young makes her not being capable of moderating this forum (I don't even think she does it anymore anyway). I was 19 when I started Way to Russia. Maybe you should stop using this site as well...

Ok, I am off for one morning on the train and when I come back I discover this mess...
I am not quite sure what is to be considered more childish: constantly flaming others in here, or reacting on the ones that do so. Actually I don't care too much, as long as you use 'Not Relevant' for slaughtering each other instead of the functional threads.
Vitaly: You are right that the forum is better moderated on some days than on others. When saying so, you might take into consideration that Media and I have an offline life as well. If you want it otherwise, draw your wallet and pay for our time.. We try, but we can't catch everything that happens in here.
Lastly: Alice has contacted me and Mediashark. And as far as I'm concerned she is welcome to lend us a hand in here.

Now I have more urgent affairs to attend (the beach, hehe). When I'm back I'll split this topic, so that the actual announement can be read again...

Here you go: http://www.waytorussia.net/TalkLounge/viewtopic.php?t=6459&highlight=

And a few more reminders:

1. Please keep on topic in announcements (and other site/forum-related messages from admin/mods), as well as in all other threads outside Talk Lounge and Not Relevant. This saves us a lot of headache (and heartache Confused )

2. No name-calling outside Not Relevant. You (or even the other party) may think it's funny, but it reflects badly on the rest of the forum, especially newcomers.

3. If you are offended by anyone please PM a mod. We can't read every post and follow every thread, so give us a tap on the shoulder if you need help.

4. uday-like stunts (spam/duplicating posts, reposting deleted material, harassment, posing as a mod, name-calling etc.) will result in an immediate ban. Exclamation

I am sorry. I kind of overdid last night. I was taken a little bit aback by the amount of confrontations I experienced from the people who run the board. It's your board, you can ban me in no time, I realize that.

It's funny, I really thought I was talking to yorbcbud in the Not Relevant section. Only later I realized that it was in the Talk Lounge. That's why I got so ticked off because I thought you were now restricting the Not Relevant as well. Speaking of OOPS.
