But I am all for returning join date and post count, unless said eliteism rises up.

Greetings from the 1000 block I suppose I'll wait as you like Weasel, but I would like to have my signature back by the one month deadline. Either the option to toggle it back on with the PHPBB patch or with the field put back if the patch is not out yet.

Re: Removed Joined/Location user details
JESUS YOU PEOPLE ARE ♥♥♥♥♥♥s
every ♥♥♥♥ time
anything changes this ♥♥♥♥ mobocracy of retarded individuals with nothing better to do than protest the minutiae of every administrative decision swarm onto the scene, and then proceeds to do nothing more profound than ♥♥♥♥♥ for ten pages
are you ♥♥♥♥ really all that attached to your ♥♥♥♥ signatures? don't lie and act like all you did was advertise mods in them, because well less than 10% of the community actually mod. the rest of you ♥♥♥♥♥♥s had your userbars and your sig images and dumb links to that zombie bull♥♥♥♥ and all the same crap you get in every forum
this forum is not above the universal standards of internet posting quality, and god knows it's probably well below them. you're not special, and signatures are an indulgence by an administrative staff that didn't do anything for years. you have no grounds to protest the removal of four hundred characters and two images
so get the ♥♥♥♥ over yourself, you rainbow parade
EDIT: I'm not even going to get into your waterfall of tears over JOIN DATE, LOCATION, AND POST COUNT
I mean are you ♥♥♥♥ serious
jesus
this post is pretty much my general thoughts on the issue ♥♥♥♥ you I didn't post it in the wrong thread I do what I want

I hope that was worth the ban it's probably going to get you.
Though I agree.

Re: Removed Joined/Location user details
I guess what I'm trying to say is what Grif said except more polite and not so ranty
Grif, you're hired
e: also, thanks, was able to update wordfilters pretty well after that

Grif wrote: JESUS YOU PEOPLE ARE ♥♥♥♥♥♥s Stopped reading there. You people? I find that offensive. Also: No, you. Autistic ninja edit: Alright so: lemme get this right, weasel. You're moderating this forum based on what you think is appropriate, eliminating things you find worthless without giving us the option to on a personal level, reverse what you did. Then when the forum complains and says they don't like your changes, you pretty much tell them to stop crying, then appoint the forum's largest ♥♥♥♥♥ to adminship because he agrees with you and has the balls to swear more than any man alive in a single post. What have I left out?

Re: Removed Joined/Location user details
hey kelas I think I can say this from the heart (and I think I speak for all of us here)
god you're annoying
your attitude of inherent superiority is probably your worst attribute and yet, your most prominent

What have I left out? I agree with this. Wasn't Weasel put in by Data to make the community better for the majority and make it all around more friendly for newcomers? And honestly I dont see why we needed to have of them removed. No one was complaining. Elitism was not an issue outside of Grif or Thor occasionally. Don't change what isn't broken. EDIT: and now Grif is an admin

Re: Removed Joined/Location user details
Hey Grif, I have at least one person that agrees with me. You no longer speak for everyone.
Really, I'm doing no more than pointing out flaws/gaps in logic and asking what the reasoning is behind them.
