LackAttack I have a letter for you.......Spamalot Crisis

Hello LackAttack,

My name is Vincent M and I am a current member of your site (I also own a premium). I joined back in November and since I have loved your website. Unfortunately my view on your website has changed since the beginning of Spamalot. The Moderators have been cruel and mean from the start of Spamlaot to the end. Your Staff has gotten out of control. I don’t know where you stand on this topic but I know if it can’t be settled with you then it will never be settled at all.
Spamalot was started as a conversational thread back on Mar 2 2007. It was intended to be a joke but it turned out to be a little society in the social forum. Everything in there was worth something to someone everyone would enjoy each others company.
Through the time of the society the moderators AK Iceman and Wicked have toyed with people who paid for CC services. In joking manners they would lock the thread and laugh and would spam (I.E. Dancing, Singing Posts). I talked to Wicked on many occasions and she said that things are fine as long as it stayed in the thread. We agreed to that and we haven’t broken that rule. AK Iceman is either sick or is really bored he torments more than anyone else. All the way up to the last page of the thread he was messing with members making promises he knew he wouldn’t keep. AK Iceman killed the thread today as I am writing this on May 15, 2007.
I know what you’re thinking it is all spam. The catch is it wasn’t it was the same as the longest thread. People from all over the world talking at different times of the day every post in there was meaningful and my favorite line that I would say to mods is SPAM IS SUBJECTIVE and I think at one point Wicked agreed with that. People had conversations that were awesome and made you think you might not be alone.
All we wanted was to be a clan, we wanted to have a group and be able to play games and compete and at the same time communicate in a forum setting. They beat the life blood out of it and I lost a lot of respect for AK Iceman. He let his ego get to him as he made an unjust move. Now because of the Deletion of Spamalot People have no where to go to talk and now because of it people will make more threads and get off topic in the ones that exist.
I am coming to you because you are the last option. I hope that you could make this right again because I have never seen so much unprofessionalism in all my life.

If and when you make more clan or get a new user group system please consider Spamalot. We considered it a home of talking and none of it was useless

Thank you for listening
Vincent M

Overreact much? :roll: If it truly was a dictatorship as you put it, I would delete all your posts, forum ban your entire member list, and that would be the end of it. This is just a friendly joke with no harm done except to your precious egos and your allmighty view count.

He's kinda got himself a point AK.
I think the reason people are getting so disgruntled with you is because your 'friendly jokes' all involve jeopardising the continuation of things (threads and practices) that a specific group of posters have grown quite proud of. Furthermore your 'jokes' all involve targetting a specific group of posters; which feels ever so slightly discriminatory. Finally, your 'jokes' all involve you using your powers as a mod in a capricious fashion to bully and terrorise a group of posters who you don't like, and who have no ability to defend themselves in like fashion.
You keep telling us that Spamalot plays jokes on you; but what are these? Are they honestly proportional to you and wicked's repeated harassment of Spamalot?

Sure, jokes are cool. But I think you're really using the word to dress up a practice of what is actually tantamount to bullying; and quite frankly represents a vulgar and self-indulgent exploitation of power.

C'mon, If you're going to throw your hands up and pretend to be all reasonable and good natured, at least try to be honest eh?
Either:
1. Get on with abusing your powers and don't be ashamed of it;
2. Or quit being a playground bully and a power-tripper. Find some other way to stroke your ego.

Why not indulge in normal joking and japery that targets everybody equally, and doesn't involve threatening a specific groups CC community experience? Aren't mods are supposed to be role-models of community behaivour; because right now you seem to have the opposite idea.

Guess I'll catch you later AK, Ta ta for now!

Some of the mods have been taking advantage of their powers. They have deleted spamalot, my pirate thread, and have deleted many people's posts. Shorten their leesh NOW or your losing a member to your website. any one else that feels thr same way please say so.

I agree. I was talking in addition to. BTW, I merged jnd's "stop the mods" thread from the social lounge into this one.
