To Community forum mod: please move further off topic posts to their own thread so this one can serve its actual intended purpose.

All your basically saying is go away and getting away with it because of the words you use.
Your a very good example of a very bad moderator.

Here is a perfect example of a personal attack and joining in once again with another member of this forum who repeatadly attacks my posts and your a moderator !.

I see, so you call people wrong, crazy and unreasonable (note the links highlight the words), for disagreeing with you, and then get upset when they disagree? You were being very rude. People are upset and replying because you were rude in your very first post on this thread.

This is after you've said the forum "stinks of Nokia" and basically call everyone that disagrees with you a "fanboy". As well as insult the moderators by claiming they're all out to get you, and specifically have set you up to trick you into getting infraction points. And you think people are attacking you? That's not how I (or most here) see it.

How did they "trick you" again? As I recall you wandered into the overclock thread, rather randomly, and called the OP "irresponsible" for posting such things without an appropriate heat dissipation solution. You then questioned if they were actually altering the voltage, and claimed that even if there were, it wouldn't affect heat generated (when clearly that is a factor). You spoke to several active and knowledgeable people in thread (which were also mainly engineers) as if they were children, and questioned their knowledge of basic electronic principles (like "ohms law"). Then when confronted with a knowledgeable response, and witty replies, started claiming you were being attacked, and called for Reggie to moderate the thread.

Again, I don't see that as people attacking you. I see that as you being rude, acting like a complete know it all (when you don't), and then crying for a moderator when the big boys told you to piss off. (After being kind enough to disprove most of what you were saying.)

Then you come here and cite that as an example of the moderators being out to get you, and fanboys attacking you, and expect to not have people challenge your false accusations? And if they do, you're again being "attacked". Doesn't make sense, sorry.



As stated earlier, the rules do apply to everyone. It just so happens that you don't want to follow them, and (maybe inadvertently) are just rude.



Wow.. You were on the verge of helping, and then decided not to because a few people got upset with you being rude? How mature of you.

The only idea you presented (interspersed among your rude comments) were references to the idea of adding a heat sync to the processor to dissipate heat, which many people though was a good idea btw. But you never expanded on it because your posts were so rude, uninformed, and insulting that people became confrontational and the discussion derailed. You shot yourself in the foot, and then blame "the community" for not letting you enlighten them with your wonderful idea...

You need to check your ego, Mr. Engineer. Simply put, every other person in that discussion is still on that thread, actively working on fixes and tweaks to the overclocking work and other kernel based changes. They're getting along just fine, and were fine before you showed up. The only thing that changed was you being present, and when you left peace returned. It's not the whole community that's got issues... It's one person: You.

If you cared about the community here, you would have started another thread with your idea about cooling the CPU instead of trying to hijack a thread about overclocking while insulting the people active in promoting that development. Instead you continued to fan the flames there, and then started another thread about the lack of "appropriate" moderation.

Even while chatting here with you, I've continued to do other things, like answer a newbies question about map loading, and suggesting a new feature for an app I've been testing. All while "defending myself" from your false aspersions of me attacking you.

If you want to help the community, do it. Stop being rude, and finding fault with everyone and every thing, and offer actual help. If you don't want to help the community (as you clearly stated above with "i am reluctant to give any of my modifications to this forum") then why are you here? To distract and cause flame wars? Not needed. Take your degree and go use it somewhere else... and take your ego with you.

If you actually interpreted what he said as bad in any way, abill_uk, I can only assume you've abandoned any semblance of objectivity.
