SPAM:I'm pretty sure I'm not only one who has noticed this but "SPAM" has been showing itself in full strength in all topics lately. While it is a nature occurrence in forums, it does seem to be on the obsessive side here at GOB forums. Yet, there isn't a problem here, I am just mentioning it and would like to remind you spam can be fun but also both discredits you and your clan. No one (visitors and/or current members) are going to look through all the nuts just to find a point on ever thread. So if you have SPAM urge just make a spam thread there you can spam to your heart's desire, problem solved. Don't ruin it for others. Karma:Due to abuse, Karma has been disabled. There were issues I had to deal with but kept karma alive in the hopes they were isolated events; They were not. Steps were taken. Karma is meant to be a friendly tool to show that you have made some one's day a little better (or worse). It is not meant to be used as a popularity contest. (This ain't American Idol folks sorry.) This isn't permanent, just temporary till we fix the bumps. 12 steps:I would first like to apologize to everyone. The Staff should have mentioned that the karma feature would be temporarily disabled beforehand. Yet, this thread is disrepestful to all the admins and everyone involved in trying to make this site a welcome place for everyone. Deleted. Ad-Free Website:Mercy is now in charge of this feature. Please note though that you are not required to donate. This site is fully functional and available free of cost. Disrespect:Will not be tolerated in any form. CheatingWill not be tolerated in any form. That includes instructions on how to cheat or where to find cheats. Please don't post pictures of "friends" trying hacks online or offline. It discredits everyone in the clan. Keep it to yourself. (This is even more peticularly important now since pb does not support JO:E and the rise in reported hackers.) Final Word:If we all love GOB as much as we say we do, lets try to make this work. ;D Cheers, Liam

think some people taking things a little to serious keep the joking on the in house forums and the rest for the public GOB was never meant to be a serious group its a place for cutting up an having fun some venting but please due respect others threads so as not to offend some one just start a new one not sure what spam is but don't sound good but comment away and ask everyone to please consult me before just leaving GOB if we need a GOB meeting some one post it an ill make sure TS is availed for every 1 to voice there opinions

Thank you everyone for your input, this is what keeps GOB alive and helps everyone (especially me) to figure out whats going down with GOB.
Yet let me define our current chiefs and what leadership is still needed.
Liam-> Site Janitor. Makes any changes requested (within reason). Not an active player.
kingme-> Site Sheriff. Documents new players and gives valuable information in regards to thier gaming past. Liam's eyes and ears.
crazynegro-> Honorary admin. Leave Of Absence.
Sgt.Mercy-> Clan founder. Liam's eyes and ears as well.
joker / emt-> TS admin . . . Missing in action.
Yet in retrospect, I have found there only to be 3 active admins. 2 of which actually play the game and report back to me with any changes and such.
Because of this I believe there should be 2 more admins to balance power and information.
1. Recruiter / New player Monitor (Tell admins who is in and who is out.)
2. GOB clan members Representative. (Gathers the opinion of everyone in GOB and presents it to admins.)
------------------------------------
And in regards to heatman, I don't think GOB has any threat to split up, just a few changes happening until we finish making the decision on what direction GOB is headed. And again about the Karma thing, just chill all . . . what I plan to do is make it a voluntary thing only. You can only play the Karma thing if you want to basically, problem solved.
------------------------------------
As well on a side note, I know don't know about you but I'm getting bored of this skin =p. I was thinking of changing it but I'm not sure if it would be worth it since we may be moving with in the next few days.

I know I am one of the New Kids on the Block hehehehe but I see that a meeting of the GOB should be soon just to see who is and who aint GOB no more... I have seen alot of people that used to fly GOB tags that are not flying our name no more... I think that they should be deleted from any of the GOB related stuff on the net... As if they start Hacking and they are known to run with us in the past that does not look good on our part... Also a meeting just to see who is still around and who still wants to be apart of GOB.... If not then again they should be deleted from all ties with GOB...
Just from the time I have been here I have met some good guys and some bad (042 and Arooke) LMAO jk nah all you guys are cool and I would hate to see something happen to us cause we are a good fighting unit and keep on getting better.... So I say lets get a meeting together and all of us available get on TS (YES even me LOL) and sort some of this stuff out..
Rob

Ta-Daaa.... Hmmm Just reviewing the comments left here. Maybe I'm missing something, or my 20+ hr a week on line is not enough. Never noticed a problem between GOB members. Yet I do see a lack of precipitation from some GOB I never seen on line. I personally dont see a need for a meeting..... I mean it's kewl the admins want to allow them to voice their opinions and all, but the finial decisions should be made by those that spent their blood sweat and tears in this Clan. Which Brings me to this comment...........
Are we not going to use the new site? Reason Why Is if not then I would like to remove it and use it for another Clan. I have so many idea's about design work, add inf Flash movies, vids, you name it. I will remove all SEC8 material from the site if thats the problem. I told Mercy I game him the Site and Domain name.
My apologies if I have no patients, but I am quick to act on what I think is right. Please let me know about the site use though, I noticed a LOT of GOB would like to use it, but are awaiting the OK from YOU "The Admins" of GOB. NOW THATS DEDICATION MATE!!!!
Liam, Not trying to step on your toes, Never met ya but heard lots of pleasant things about you. I would love to set up the admin user rights for the site ASAP and start getting you GOB to sign up. There was a link added to the new site to link back here.

Umm, Dr. Merlin, you need to have patience with those patients...<g> just kidding man, we know what you meant. I think that for the most part, Merlin, that we're a bunch of older dudes here and we probably don't move so fast on some things, but we do move. Life has a way of teaching one how to be this way, and it doesn't bother us at all. Give it time if you can.

well 32 does almost make you an old fart, however I think I'm the oldest fart of them all. dangit. Like I've told you, I have hosting space too and when I first joined, I thought all the stuff you're doing, give these old farts a kick a$$ website, but I was too lazy to say anything. So it's been interesting to me to see how this all plays out for you. So far it's been pretty much as I'd assumed it would be. Seems that probably we'd all like a new look but really all we want is a place to do our bit chin and bickering when we fall out of bed on the wrong side in the morning. And having to click an extra link to get to here is just, well, just like having 2 BMs in a day instead of just one.
gosh darnit, here we've just got off topic, talking about farts and all. Someone please get this thread back to 'admin rights' for the GOB forums...

Liam in regards to the extra admins, most of us who play regularly recruit when we do. And the same guys that are on all the time watch the new players and are quick to respond to un-GOB like actions. And the forums negate a need for anyone to represent the clan members since opinions are aired here........ Just an idea to keep it simple.
