Tom Knudsen Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 Well I must have done something to annoy someone over at x-plane.org beeing me. That happens unfortunatly !I have now been placed in moderator que what ever that includes. A bit annoying to be frank, but I will comply of course. Just wondering if someone els has experienced this and how long I can expect to be in the doghouse? Quote
hobofat Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) in the doghouse? I have no idea Tom, I avoid posting over there after being snipped at for innocuous questions I apparently didn't phrase according to some secret standard. But here's something that should cheer you up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyduncFpzl4 Edited December 21, 2013 by hobofat Quote
Ben Russell Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 I was queued permanently. (along with pretty much every other payware author that doesn't subscribe to their bullshit.) When I mentioned it publicly it was escalated so that I'm now restricted from even posting a draft. Why ban and look bad when you can simply muzzle and have people "disappear". ...one might say it's underhanded and subversive... but those would be Dan's words, and Dan can do no wrong. 1 Quote
Tom Knudsen Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Posted December 21, 2013 Thanks, if it wasnt for the payware support forums i would do the same<br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
Jim Kallinen Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 Having been a member at the org since 1999. And over 5 owner changes. This is actually mild compared to some years back around 2001. Been banned more times then I can countand was even mod there at one time. I rarely post over there anymore and keeps outa trouble.

Tom Knudsen Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Posted December 21, 2013 Very strange, and I didnt even brake any of the forum rules. <br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
Ben Russell Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 Org rules apply to the entire internets. You probably made too many posts here. 2 Quote
Ben Russell Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 I found this a few weeks ago... No idea who made it or where it came from but you know things are absurd when they start making Nazi parody videos about your "culture". and before anyone get's their nose out of shape over something trivial and ultimately hilariously childish.... I'll close my post with this, from a truly great mind of our time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdWKQ36JkwE 7 Quote
Jim Kallinen Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) God that first video was hilarious, Did Cameron share his photo of Nicholas he has ? Fits perfect. Edited December 21, 2013 by Jim Kallinen Quote
chris k Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 Hory crap. Whomever Fake Austin is, he's definitely got the inside scoop on the "whos who" of the X-Plane world. - CK. Quote
AnonymousUser68 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 Haha that's the funniest youtube video I've seen in a long time. Chris is very correct, this guy has his X-Plane politics spot on. The bit about the org's screenshot policy was too good. I was about to defend Dan Klaue because he provided some great tutorials but even they were covered. Quote

scotchegg Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) No idea who made it or where it came from Of course. You and your habit of knocking up quick cynical pictures/edits to embed in threads would have no idea who would put this together:) I'll close my post with this, from a truly great mind of our time. Agreed, that one should be everyone's bedtime viewing. On a side note, frankly you're as bad as each other when you want to be with the snide swideswipes, but as long as you knock together a half decent add-on in the meantime, who are we to complain... Now where's the frickin' Saab update? Edited December 21, 2013 by scotchegg Quote
Tom Knudsen Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Posted December 21, 2013 I guess there is no love for x-plane.org here, but that don't matter to me as I tend not to favorise any forum due to my needs. But I do now see that x-pilot may be the mature one and the more suited forum. To bad not more third party vendors (payware) uses both forums as their support forum. Cannot see why a site like x-plane.org can host a support forum when they ban or even place its member in a moderator que.If I know have a problem that I need to complain about in the support forum, I can post it but then wait for x number of days until it gets posted by an moderator (cleared) Where is the support in that? Thank god some have support emails.. Quote

Now where's the frickin' Saab update? 99.9999999% of my smart ass pictures are served raw from Google, it's a rare day that I bother to put a caption...... I can assure you that the work is not mine. My YouTube channel is restricted to dry boring tech demo videos:http://www.youtube.com/user/Inddii/videos As bad as each other? For the most part, sure... I consider it something of a sporting rivalry at this point. No one bats an eye when two teams exchange verbal banter to try and get the upper hand, or when two men stand toe to toe trying to look tough after 2 days of deliberately induced strength sapping dehydration. At least we try and avoid collateral damage.... "they" get all sorts of by-catch in their nets... And you're right, at the end of the day, it is fuelling a rivalry, so the customer wins. Sometimes people wish that this political rift didn't exist....I'd take a bunch of raw attitude over the high and mighty crap service that a mega-corp like EA/etc dish out on a title by title basis. People hate the corporate disconnect, but long for the sterile service attitudes, while having full access to the dev team all at once. It's great fun from this side of the show. Life is messy. Have a laugh. Saab? Not sure.... My focus is Gizmo. Edited December 21, 2013 by Ben Russell Quote

Cameron Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 Of course. You and your habit of knocking up quick cynical pictures/edits to embed in threads would have no idea who would put this together:) Surely you know about Fake Austin, or was this before your time in X-Plane? We banned that ass of a guy here when he first made it to the X-Plane scene. To this day it's anyone's guess as to who it is. For a while I was half convinced it was Austin having a play on himself, but Laminar was insistent it wasn't, and as time went on I became sure of that too. I do have a few "hunches," but they are only that at this point so it's not proper to say anything more since chances are I'm entirely wrong. I'll admit, that made me laugh, but the description of the video also makes me worry this joke of a guy will make a return... Quote
chaps Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 OMG, that was brilliant. Truly hilarious. I only recognize some of the names referred to but enough that I got the point. Well done , whoever did it. Quote
Tom Knudsen Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Posted December 22, 2013 Funny how threads digress, so nobody knows how long the moderator que lasts?<br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
Cameron Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 Funny how threads digress, so nobody knows how long the moderator que lasts? I think this has already been answered, Tom. People have let you know that moderator queue more or less is a "soft ban", meaning it's a way to not label you as banned to the community, but they will keep you in that status going forward. There are guys here who have been on that for years. Quote
ointment Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Funny how threads digress, so nobody knows how long the moderator que lasts?I think you're asking the wrong crowd. Why not ask an org moderator? My guess is that it depends on the offense and the demeanor of the offender. I find it interesting how most people who are disciplined at the org most often neglect to mention their transgressions so I have to ask, what exactly did you do or say to get to where you are in regards to the org?
