re: Attention All Members

[Lucario_x]

An admin change I think will not make this forum better, because you guys still want to over rule.\

No, we don't. We want to talk to eachother about bakugan and be 'watched' by someone who participates in the community.

And reposting rules, making polls everyone knows the answer to, etc don't count. We need admins that actually enjoy bakugan from their free will. If the only thing swaying them is their paycheck, they'll only come on during their 'work hours'. We need- I can't stress that enough- need someone that comes here for fun, who is active, to keep things in check- not only because he/she likes bakugan, but because they like the forum.

 

owner of this site just provided this forum to gather all Bakugan fans (to interact/exchange ideas) so I think there's nothing more you could demand further than that. We have the main site that talks about Bakugan already updated by admins and the owner. The forum just serves as an extra discussion panel for Bakugan fans.

All the front page is is boasting about sales and copied news. Get a unique story not already put up or written by spinmaster or something we already know, then we'll talk about "extra panels".

Well, IIRC, You can Customize certain peoples powers like I could have Editing and removing rights, but another Global mod could only have Removal rights, I don't really remember though.

[Lucario_x]

Through use of various groups, like "Global Mod Full", "Global Mod Restricted", etc


Which would take a while, because they'd have to create a new group, edit mod permissions, rinse, repeat.

- Are you sure of that? You always criticize admins thats why you're not learning to appreciate all the efforts we are doing for the forum.

-We do love and enjoy bakugan as much as members do..Admins are not here just for work or paycheck (as what you have been claiming about) we put our time and effort here because we love what we do in general. But it seems you are creating your own wall between admin and members.

You're not doing jack. Well, besides banning good members and siding with the retarded noobs.

Sure ya do. Then why were you not here before. If a twelve year old find BB, why can't you? And you put your (little, really annoying) effort into BB 'cause you are paid.

You're right, it is all right if BJ puts ads on the front page. But what Lux meant is, it just has gay stories copied from SM and info and bakugan that we knew about a month ago. So like Lux said, get something good. (Maybe put that ban list we 've been suggestingg there?)

Us creating a wall? No, Mystic. Admins have been inactive for months at a time, and you only have been recently checking on the forum every few days (about everyday after the whole incident) The only possible way to contact an admin is by PM. And when an admin is on, I have had many of my PMs ignored. What happens if we are banned and we have proof we didn't do it? How would we possibly contact you?

You want to know why we "investigated" you? We knew nothing about you. You joined and were randomly assigned admin, and we knew nothing about you. You barely posted about bakugan, or barely came on for that matter. So yeah, we were a little curious as to why you were an admin. We were never trying to stalk you or find out where you live- we just wanted to know who you were.

And you admitted you worked for BJ wright. So, why are you on here? You barely post about bakugan (you just started talking about it, but it was a bunch of info copied and pasted from SM that we already knew about) It seems like you are only here to keep the forum running. But for what?

You're not doing jack. Well, besides banning good members and siding with the retarded noobs.

-First, how would you describe a good member?? An old member doesn't mean he's good. 
Again and again..We are not taking any sides..in fact, we've trusted old members that caused damage..So if you're on our part,how would you feel?

And reposting rules, making polls everyone knows the answer to, etc don't count. We need admins that actually enjoy bakugan from their free will. If the only thing swaying them is their paycheck, they'll only come on during their 'work hours'.

-Money is not a big deal here..We just learned to love bakugan when we started to work on here..besides, its a hobby that every kids and teens love..We work here because we love what we do and not just because we are paid to be an admin..For us working isn't just about thinking what you can gain but its how you could help or contribute and put in your heart and efforts in everything that you do. But it seems we are misinterpreted and what is hurting to think is that we have never been appreciated..But its fine we can't force people to like us since everyone has its own freedom..I just hope this time we will all learn to move on as one Bakugan Community and share thoughts and ideas instead of keeping grudges inside us..

-First of all, we are not the owner of Bakugan so we don't have the right to post any topic nor pictures of those unreleased bakugans hence, we have to adhere to Spin Master's rules. And besides, we are not working behind Spin Master but BakuganBuzz is recognized as one of their promoting partners so infos behind are just exclusive for SM and we don't have access to that. Like any other blog, we repost topics about bakugan to also share to all fans. and the forum is one subpage of our main site for members to talk and discuss bakugan and also for us to know what are other bakugan finds you have that you could also share. I hope this is clear enough for everybody to understand our point.
-Ban List is not needed because with due respect,we don't want to expose banned members.

[Maping]

1) They can spell, they contribute. And contribute does not mean post a butch of stupid threads about stupid shows on CN or random polls. And quite often, old IS good, 'cause it means they stuck with BB, and didn't, and won't, go crying to Mommy.

2) We're mad 'cause you just popped up, and are paid to keep an eye on us, even if you "came to enjoy bakugan." (Yeah, right.)

3) You can post stuff, I know you can. Hell, some of the members have posting privileges. (At least, they did at one point.) And you have to adhere to SM's rules 'cause you a partner of them. So pull out, it's not like they give us anything. And besides, if we have access to it, to post it, IT'S ON THE INTERNET!!! Anybody could find it. If they deserve a ban, then who cares about exposing them. It's not like you're saying "Oh hurr durr, this is Bobby Nelson who lives on Cherry Lane." It's a username. And if you ban someone we want to know, so we know why they aren't on.

Oh, and Mystic, you randomly popped up here being paid by BJ wright. Sorry, but I highly doubt you are interested in bakugan.

[gmrck]

Good members follow rules and do not demand something out of contexts.
Good members respect others' opinions, just because they know everything, or do not enjoy something, will bash out someone and call them retards.
Good members post valuable information.
Good members report inappropriate posts and members that may cause trouble in the forum.

[Jaron]

Why do you think we care so much, gmrck2010? You don't think we are currently standing up for each other?

Stupid shows? how about you? Have you contributed quality and valuable posts?they stuck with BB but they wanted to rule everything..This is not your forum that's why you're bound to follow rules..I'm speaking in general not just in BB Forum.

Of course as an admin im just doing my job to clean up the mess that members left..Do you think we will be strict if you guys just stick to the rules?! Members here especially Old ones must be responsible enough to take care of the forum,adhere to the rules..and not act like little kids..

You dont have the right to question our participation with SM's Bakugan Community..Exposing Ban List will not do any good to members.

[Jaron]

Yes Mystic. Me, Maping, and everyone here has had plenty of bakugan related posts before you even joined here. It's obvious you don't have enough knowledge of this forum to properly run it, you don't even know much about your own members. Another reason why, us the older members, want a say in how this forum goes. 
 

And it is also very obvious making the rules strict and taking the forum away from the members isn't going to help.

-Well Im just doing my job not for money but for the love of the site and forum and especially for those members who love bakugan.

[Smeargle2]

I would like to bring up one point:

BakuganBuzz's purpose was, and still should be, to make unreleased information and pictures of Bakugan available to the members and visitors. It made the site interesting, and gave it a reason to exist; something different from the other sites; something that made us a step above the other Bakugan sites. Without this lead, there is no difference between us and any other, official site. There's no need for another of those.

We've always looked down upon the Community, trying to pass them in quality and information. We prided ourselves when we defeated them and uncovered a bit of 'unreleased' information or pictures. It was those times that the site became truly enjoyable; the times of excitement and the anticipation of discovering something before the competition.

That was all lost a long time ago. I believe that to be the time the site lost it's meaning.
