It been quite a few years that I have been a board member here at Xltronic, and for quite a lot of that time I have enjoyed myself very much. From the days I'd incite fun and laughter with the likes of Amonbrune and Pachi, the lightsaber avatars that quite a lot of us had, to the more recent times where I was made moderator....all of which those have now come to an end. When I first came to Xltronic, I knew next to nothing about electronica, but my good friend CeriJC encouraged me to post here despite the fact, because he said it was generally a great place. Over time and with the help of many other board members I eventually got myself into the music. I guess in many ways it was kind of dumb at the time, but creating a topic entitled something like "Am I the only one that hates IDM" didnt really do me any favours from the outset, but alas it was a quirk of the online personality that I would post with. What I really, really do not understand is, the sheer hatred that is found in certain board members, and they know who they are. Some have a lot of history here very much like myself, others are relatively new, but even though I perhaps tended to incite flaming upon occassion, the fact that individuals could be so nasty is beyond my comprehension. I don't even know these people in real life!! This is just a messageboard!! There is more to life than that, and this is one of the reasons that coming to Xltronic in the past months has not been the enjoyable experience it once was. It's being trashed by the trolls and spammers. Sure I did my fair share, but now I fear things are out of control. But think about it, I can come up with a list at least a dozen long of people how have been driven away from this place because of the shit, and I'm sure one of two of you can think of more than that! |

Some of you are probably wondering what has happened in the past few days, with this so called 'banfest'....well allow me to shed some light on the matter. I haven't through one reason or another been coming here so often, and spent a bit of time here at the end of last week. To cut a long story short, it seems that there are/were a few board members that enjoy every opportunity to try and insult me, challenge my authority as a moderator and generally act like twats when I am around, and to be absolutely honest, I just thought to myself "What is the point of any of this crap, don't these people give up?" and I'll let you into a secret: Why did I do it? It bothered me slighty and I did it on a whim, because I felt like it! And I'm also not sorry for it either. I glanced down the list of online users, and went "ban ban ban..." and so on, and also did one or two others as well. Tridenti, Epohs both of which sadly got in the way with their spamming or insults, and I have since heard from and/or spoken to, and I have no hard feelings over them, were. Also, I have explained to Woofer that it was me that closed all of his topics, and I have given him my reasons for which he accepts. It hasn't all been bad, I have made some great friends here also who I have had the pleasure of meeting up with in real life, such as Yves (eXXailon) and Jon (The Funkmaster), both without this place I would never have met, and will not despite this, forget that. Just a few thanks before I finish: Yves (eXXailon), thank you more than anyone here for getting me into electronica, it meant an aweful lot to me, and we'll continue to speak on MSN and I look forward to seeing you in the summer. Jon (The Funkmaster), well I guess you won't see this as you too were driven from here also, but I always enjoyed the banter between us both here and the way in which you from time to time stuck up for me among the trolls. One day I'll get to see you in Newfoundland!! ;) |

Nacmat, I am so glad we had our chat yesterday. I owed you the truth....you may not be totally impressed with what I did, but the fact that we will remain friends means a lot to me - see you on MSN! You've been a great friend to me and perhaps one day we will also meet in real life! Woofer, keep an eye on the trolls for me and report them to the moderators. Keep up the good work with the polls, and dont let the rabble get to you! Ophecks, you are nuts, crazy and insane, and for this you have become one of the most entertaining personalities on the board. Good luck to you in the future. Phobiazero, thanks - thanks for creating this wonderful place. I know it has not turned out the way you would have wanted it to, ie. with my misuse of moderation powers, but I thank you for the opportunity regardless. I just hope you can control the element that are slowly destroying the messageboard, and perhaps get it back to the community it once was. Last but by no means least, Ceri. Thank you my good friend, it's been a blast! ;) See you soon! I've probably missed a few names out, so I apologise in advance to all the other many friends I made here and if anyone wants to email me, I'm sure Ceri or Nacho will pass on my email address, and as to the rest, well I really couldnt care actually what you think. Besides, like I keep saying, there is more to life... Enjoy the summer people....take care! Jedi Chris |

hmmmm fair statement, summary over what happened, but is it really objective ? even now he calls some ppl twats, and im not sure if im not on the list of these, ive had my bans aswell. within this kind of speech you shouldnt name anyone in this way, this is what i think of it. well, seems that old chap chris took some things to serious.shame.but what can we do, wish you teh best. |

sounds like a right whining little faggot to me. no wonder guys took the piss out of him. don't think he's any loss. FREEDOM OF SPEECH MY BROTHERS! One less fascist on the board. |

jedy chris doesn't deserve this bad end, and we have all a bit of responsibility... |

you havent heard him after he got banned. he wasnt that nice and peaceful, i assure you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

It's because of comments like that, that this place is going downhill fast. Who are you to call him a whining little faggot, or a facist? He's been here a long time, and taken a lot of shit, most especially for not being a huge fan of electronic music, but since when does that make him any of those things you call him? Freedom of Speech my arse - it seems to be that if people don't conform, then they get flamed and that, quite frankly, isn't fair. |

awww I didn't get a goodbye! I'm gonna disconnect his broadband account =op mwa ha ha |
||||||||

|

well if he never came around often anyway, i doubt it will impact the board much, but i never had a problem with him, just though he was kind of confrontational with some members for no reason - we all give each other shit here, there are no exceptions. you just give it right back - you dont have to go on a ban spree, or threaten the ban at every whim. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
bullshit. He actually wrote "challenge my authority". how small must his cock be??? What authority? I think he has been told to fuck off by phobiazero because he just constantly randomly banned people. I suggest you all make me moderator. FOUR LEGS GOOD TWO LEGS BAD! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fact, but remember that ppl got banned for this "freedom of speech" aswell, which should not happe it all started when jedi became a mod anyway, so the history is a little bit longer that the one described above. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
STFU you small minded cunt. Do you ever have anything nice to say, about anyone, that isn't only to benefit yourself? Phobiazero didn't tell him to fuck off at all, so go back to thinking of insults to throw at nice people. |

Multiple account = b7. bye bye. |

my god, bill_hicks moderator?!? noooo, please... me and nacmat would be the first to be banned... bill_hicks would be dictator worst than Hitler and Saddam... gulp... :-s |

Jedi Chris happens to be a very good friend of mine, who introduced me to this board, but, as you might have noticed - I don't come here often because people like you put people like me off. It's not big and it's not clever to start insulting people before you even give them a chance. If you want a game of insults then bring it on, but until you know me, SHUT THE FUCK UP BITCH! |

1. "It's being trashed by the trolls and spammers" 2. "Woofer, keep an eye on the trolls for me and report them to the moderators." 1) Funny! 2) More Funny! ah! ah! ah!... "Trolls" bye? well... that is not funny... |

ok, so who's gonna unban those unjustly and randomly banned now ? |

"It's not big and it's not clever to start insulting people before you even give them a chance. If you want a game of insults then bring it on, but until you know me, SHUT THE FUCK UP BITCH! " oh, the irony. it's amusing on several levels. you are an unintentional comedy genius, chris. |

hmm. i've missed out on way too much fun around here in the last nine months. i didn't really know jedichris...uh. at all. but. well. adios. hope it's good like a slice of pumpkin pie. or somethin'. |

he has left... I beg you all please to respect him now he made mistakes which he has recognized... he has been very honest and that is very hard to do... he has showed us all again that he is a nice man... but I know some of you dislike him a lot... ok... but think of this, he has finally left now please.. respect him... and dont start fires when its all over and also think of this: every story has two sides for the truth. and you might not now many things jedi had to go through in this place, which could make you understand his actions better again, he has given us some clues of what happened, and also he has been very honest about his attitude as a moderator in the last days please let him just go in peace... no need to keep a fight that is now over good luck jedi your last post in this forum (via ceri) shows (once again) that you are nice person. only a nice person can speak with such brital honesty |

That was an interesting post. I can see why people would be put off by the negative attacks that can go on here, but I guess it's all part of it. And I ask for it with my bizzare whining IDM-loving wankathon posts. |

ahhh, glad someone else is giving up on this place don't forget that people personify different things online then in real life - if youre really a big nerd sitting behind a computer all day, you shoot your mouth off like a tough guy who is super-electronica-fan-number-one its the same way with people who drive cars - everyone is a fucking tough guy behind their machine until i rip them out and beat the piss out of of them that and talking about autechre and what it would be like to hold richard d james' testicles in my hand is old, was old, and will only get worse fuck internet tough guys who dont like the feelies |

your 'authority' oh my god this email is so stupid , i could cry. |
||||||||
|

|

It's not too bad. He was a mod, so he does have "authority". Or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he was supposed to have it, seems he didnt at all.thats what you get when webmaster makes mods "just liek that" without paying attention on mb users, really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

phob probably chose him cause he knew him from the days where he (phob) was here more often. it is a matter of character to be able to deal with specific power, that holds for any community. the 'banfest' he described is a very childish thing. and i still dont see the wrong in ephos post. gladly, he left so i shut up. |

When he accepted Joyrex's bag of silver that Judas said goodbye to ever, ever being a Mod here. Phobo said "I'd make dog_belch a mod before I'd ever even think about modding Nacmat" And lo', it came to pass. And there was wailing and gnashing of teeth. And strange omens were seen. And a man called Jedy smote the holy city with a flaming sword. Then, he vanished. And there was peace, in the valley. |
