    After a lot of thinking, it seems that members here think I’m too nice and that’s a bad thing. I am hated for being too nice. I don’t give out warnings when I’m supposed to; instead I just give out a verbal warning. I don’t ban when I’m supposed to, instead I just give out verbal warnings & warnings as needed. At worse, I’ll just do a permanent ban from shout box and still give someone the freedom to roam on the forums, or give them a temporary time out. I’ve never fully banned someone from the forums, unless they’ve requested it. People assume and see what they think I’m doing but they don’t know and or see what I do not in the public light – their actions are based on a one-sided story. I tried very hard to make everyone happy and understand that occasionally there will be fights that ensue or bickering/debates aka flames and what not, but I don’t let that define you as I’ve given many members multiple chances to not be banned from the forums. But unfortunately, that has not worked. I have even taken the liberty to insert myself into issues between 2 members of the forums to hope that they work out their differences and yet it’s still deemed as I don’t “do” much for this community. Today marks my one year playing toram, I’ve played pretty much almost every single day for the last 365 days. Tomorrow marks my 1 year on the toram online forum community and I’ve been consistently on here every single day for the last 365 days.

    I was never the one to give up during the hard times in real life, so I wouldn’t do so virtually either. I’ve decided to become more ruthless. If I’m going to be hated on for being nice, I might as well be hated on for doing my “job” to the T too, I guess. For those of you that are not aware, we do actually have a warning system in place. Mods can issue an automatic 1 day ban if member issues are problematic or needs a time out/chill out. Otherwise, the warning system is as follows –

    2 Warnings – 1 day ban
    3 Warnings – 1 month ban
    4 Warnings – 6 month ban
    5 Warnings – Permanent ban

    Each warning point given expires in a month.

    I will now be issuing real warnings to anyone involved in a flame regardless if you’re the one that started it. If you take part in a flame, all parties involved will be warned. This includes all the popcorn comments as well. If for some reason you can’t hold your tongue in this case, fingers and you realllllllllllly need to yell at that person through your poor keyboard or phone for whatever reason, I strongly suggest you to do so in a PM – no one needs to see two people bicker and insult each other. I will also give warning points if i see anyone insulting someone else on their threads, calling them an idiot, stupid, etc. If you do see a flame ready to start, I strongly advise you to report it immediately or if you have access to me outside of the forums, you know where to find me, otherwise @DeQuantum gave you his contacts.

    Goodbye nice kariin. Hello ruthless kariin.

    Aside from that, I’ll still be normal kariin everywhere else :)

    Just zero tolerance for flames on the forums starting Aug. 1st, 2016

    “Those who matter don’t mind. Those who mind don’t matter. “
    thank you those that actually read it til the end.

    I love watching debates but i agree that those rude one's who keeps using idiots/stupid should be ban. We can all express our opinion without being rude or offending someone.

    Err... I'm also though this is quitting message, so i read through all and found out *suprise* then back to lurking *calm*
    Anyway i know the feel of being too nice
    Mine is because of I'm too nice, people often use me as a tool instead of as a helping hand, and get complain about I'm not good enough blah.. .blah.. .blah. .
    Aside of all negative thinking, please at least remain some part of your nice, it's for the people that who support you, truly think you as his/her friend, partner, people that have faith on you and etc.
    Now gotta end this comments, sorry if i said too much...it's just feel like that's also have people that having same problem with me and feel that I'm not alone.
    Anyway wish you have a nice day and nice 1 year anniversary for you playing toram ^^/

    What about flames that aren't actually flames(i.e, simple and peaceful disagreements or things the mods don't like/agree with) that aren't against the rules?

    I also think that if you plan on enforcing this to a T, you ought to also enforce the other rules(btw, I'm not saying you aren't as of now).

    I also think you mods ought to decide what constitutes as flaming as it seems so vague and up to how the mods are feeling that day. In fact, I think you mods ought to create a revamped set of rules that, while not quite official, are the ones that are enforced by the mods. Just because of the fact that the current ones are either too vague or not enforced. If you'd like, I can suggest some changes/clarification in the rules.


    Also, I think you ought to be a balanced mix between ruthless and nice. A good balance makes a good mod,

    I understand the Goodbye title means "bye to the nice old kariin" and "hi to the new strict kariin". Remember when Vash posted the announcement looking for a new mod in January and I was all over the place voting for you, I knew you'd make the best job for it from all the forum members. Even if this guy above my comment says "you should do this you should do that" he's not considering that besides being a mod you're also a human with a family, a toram player with a guild to be with, you have a job and even while being at work you try to be present in everything, running the TFL and other aspects of your real life all at the same time. How many of us could handle all of that? So for me nice or strict you're still the best.
