General Photography Competition #126

[McReis]

Which is exactly why I visit rarely nowadays (except problems with the law then).

You see Fisetdavid? This is the kind of stuff that makes picking on Drakkie worthy.
He is like a "piñata": you hit him and down comes a goodie!

Congratulations on picking on a guy who only submitted a picture in a photography competition. I understand you don't like him, but as moderators (and even the man behind this website) I would expect a better behavior. My two cents.

Which is exactly why I visit rarely nowadays (except problems with the law then). It's a great community, but the highly hostile attitude of the mods and leading team makes it very unwelcoming for new and old members. Basically nothing except what they are used to is good. A little bit more of an open focus wouldn't harm anyone. Benefit of the doubt principle and not slashing anyone's head off when it sticks above the corn field.

Oh come on. I just explained what the proper terminology for the type of shot was. It's Mister-Know-It-All's attitude that has given this thread a bit of turn. If he for once just accepted that he was wrong there would have been no problem at all. Yet instead he comes back and throws that ridiculous smiley in my face without thinking twice about my post. All I ask is for him to think before he posts.

Haha, I don't mind you guys picking on him as much as you want when he makes stupid comments (i.e. snapping poor cat's necks) but in this particular case he didn't do anything. The mods are just ridiculing his work in this thread.

I also think that's his problem. I had nothing against what you told him before the idiot part. That was unnecessary.

I ask of the mods to act exactly the same as they would if they were not moderators. Only when they use their additional powers should they make the most sensible of decisions.

That was after the smiley. As soon he uses that in a post directed to me, it's gloves off. But again that example was just used to emphasize my point and to explain why he made his mistake.

beauty shot. i love symmetry, and i think the absolute only thing that could have improved it was the sun location, casting shadows.

Will you people stop ruining my photo competition, I'm not trying to run a daycare centre here.

Which I later replied to in a friendly manner, after your correction. Small mistake on my side, friendly thanks back for correcting me. What do I do wrong here ?

It's Mister-Know-It-All's attitude that has given this thread a bit of turn.

I am sorry, but you have this attitude quite severely. It's about time you realised that.

If he for once just accepted that he was wrong there would have been no problem at all.

I did. And if you dislike smilies so much, why don't you delete them from the board altoghether ? Quite odd to see your smiley hatred is always focused on one person using them. You can hardly call 1 smiley excessive use or anything.

Yet instead he comes back and throws that ridiculous smiley in my face without thinking twice about my post.

The ridiculous smiley will not be featured on ucp in the future I guess then ?

All I ask is for him to think before he posts.

Point taken and will be done. May I ask you for a favor as well then ? Try and envision how you are seen by many. I know I am certainly not alone in this view, without calling names, but you honestly seem like a pretty arrogant person that always knows best. How do you think that comes across when you accuse others of being arrogant ? Think about it please and try to do the same as me, improve yourself every do.

I think it'd be wise to continue this discussion elsewhere now and leave the thread to it's originally intended goal.

[Wouter Melissen]

You are too kind.
