You actually have to select the appropriate forum category (Quake Central, Events, Media, etc...) first. Once that page is loaded, click on the "+ New Topic" button. 

You failed to back up your role as an administrator there with muscle, brute force and politeness.

When you banned a certain very disruptive person, you lacked to the follow through to enforce what you decided. Then that person re-registered under another account and harassed you. After a month you weenied out and quit.

Later in the year, I volunteered to Solecord my "services" temporarily and very quickly and efficiently terminated the problem, and did it very politely and there was no drama because resistance was very clearly made to be utterly futile. I then very clearly laid out the ground rules for that individual to further participate in the forum, unbanned and there were no problems ever again. A week later I unadmined permanently.

To be administrator you must be patient, polite and then if one must administrate, be very clear, very fair and follow through in an unbending manner.

You failed at all of those, in a rather spectacular way, turning a bad situation in an explosively bad situation.

You are a great modder, have great taste, are very smart. But very bad at administration. All those problems happened during YOUR watch.

Feel free to argue the fine details, if you choose, but as an outside observer one big mistake you made was threatening to use admin. Admin is like a gun. You don't threaten with it, if you have to use it then you do and then in a very impersonal manner. It created a scenario where the others that helped run site didn't see you as being objective and fair.

/Outside observer perspective only from what I read about the situation. 

Quakeone is like a strong cancer.

It was in remission for a litle bit and came back stronger with a shittier template and more Dark Places HD texture ideals.

Lets just allow the host body to die and rid this earth of the cancer once and for all.

HTH KUTGW 

also has accumulated a lot of useful information over the years which I have found to be a helpful resource. There are some threads there that don't interest me, so I don't visit them. However, it doesn't bother me that they exist. 

to avoid or exclude an entire community of Quake fans because of a handful of "bad apples" and unfortunate moments - none of which I am aware of. I'm with killpixel. Quakeone is a good resource.

The func community has its failings to be sure. 

 

I just don't have that button in http://quakeone.com/forum/quake-talk/single-player

No fucking idea. I never received a registration mail and have no clue how to resend it, maybe that's what's causing it? 

If you're not registered yet, that's most probably the cause, yeah... Have you checked your spam box for the registration mail? 

What do you mean? There's never been a sequel to Quake other than the mods like AD. I thought the "One" just meant Quake is #1! WOOt!

Someday someone will make a sequel with stylized medieval fast-paced exploratory goodness. 

 

... called Hexen 2? 

 

Well you said you never received any registration mail so I assumed that your registration wasn't completed, but if you can log in everything should work fine. I suggest you take your issue to the admin/mods. 

Does any of you guys have some knowledge in audio mastering? I'm a composer, not a sound engineer, and I have no clue how to master my music myself. See, I have this track ready that I'd like to submit to the knave jam but it needs to be mastered beforehand, so Imma need some help. 

I am not an expert but I do deal with audio every day and know a thing or two. (sound design and music mixing not really mastering) I just recently mastered out my level music for the Jam. Click on my nick for an email address.

I've been using Adobe Audition 2017 lately and getting very good results. It's just a step down from ProTools but a great alternative. 

OK cool, thanks mate, I'll shoot you an email in a few hours - not @home ATM. I don't really need an expert, just someone with enough skill to inject some beef into my track: I've tested it ingame and it lacks some volume compared to the original soundtrack but I can't crank it up in my DAW without some clipping occuring.

I'm still using Audition's ancestor, good ol' Cool Edit Pro 2! Been meaning to upgrade for some time, I should get to it someday... 

I wasn't harrishing another flamewar about QuakeOne!
I just like the darker backscreen to read from.
That white hurts my eyes. Like seeing func_msg in a white template.
Thing I didn't get was Error being the headadmin wasn't logged in anymore. Whatevever.

If I use that link I'm logged in already.
Maybe something with the browser? 

Does this look like your ID?
I just checked members. 

should be gone soon, according to what I've read on the main page. 

mail sent. 

I was unable to follow through on that situation because the forum's administrators did not support me and instead blamed the situation on me. Forum admins have to support their moderators instead of blaming the mod who gets threatened with violence and supporting the perpetrator.

None of what you said excuses threats of violence, sexual harassment and smurf-trolling. None of those transgressions require the moderator to be overly polite to the transgressor. They just require a swift ban, which I helped deliver (Solecord was the one who actually did the banning).

You have some strange ideas, and again, you are inherently blaming the victim. I was on the receiving end of graphic threats of violence, which I proved to the admins, and the admins decided to not support me. In short, you guys caved in and threw me under the bus, then unbanned the perpetrator. That's crazy behaviour for an internet forum. Hence why I gave up the moderator and news editor post.

I tried to deliver content for your site, I stood in the line of fire trying to make it a friendlier place. You don't have the balls to ban toxic people from your forum, and you don't have the balls to back up those who do your dirty work. That is why you earned the excellent reputation you have.

You can lecture us about alpha males and freedom of speech and politeness and kitchen psychology all day long. Doesn't change a thing.

Sincerely. 

I think this is what happened. 

Graphic threats of violence? I told you to stop fucking with me or I would make you regret it. This was AFTER you chased me around locking my posts and publicly chastising me.

You a turd, GB. 

QuakeScone drama does not belong on func_msgboard.
