Welcome Me!

Yes I'm new here, my name is Aaron, I'm 23, I live in Alberta Canada, and I like titles such as; Shamanic Princess, Metal Angel Marie (My Dear Marie), Magic Knight Rayearth, Cowboy Bebop, Fushigi Yuugi, Princess Mononoke, and many more. I came here in pursuit of a long lost anime title, does anyone have any suggestions as to which section I should post my query? I was thinking about posting it in the Magical Girl Anime & Manga but if there's an alternative section or thread I can post it in please let me know. :laugh:

Welcome, but why the title for the thread?

And for you @Ranshiin .

Whalecum...Welcome... It's an old silly forum thing. What's the link for?

Ah, wasn't sure what you're meaning nor was I sure when I'd get a response, so I mentioned the Introductions Mod (Ranshiin) to inform him and allow him to deal with it how he saw fit. ^.^

I found it mildly funny but I can see where it would be against forum code. There be young'ns afoot!

Anyhow Welcome! Its good to have some fun on the boards but they keep this pretty clean so work within the parameters of the forums and itll be a good time!

ps make some posts in the Cowboy bebop forums so I have something to respond to! please!!

Cheers

Yeah, this is the sort of toilet humor that I do not need to be seeing when I get up and turn my computer on in the morning. Especially the sort of toilet humor that results in me having to edit 8 posts whilst my PC's still warming up.

That aside, welcome, and whilst you're here make sure you read the rules. I'll be around if you need any help, and I hope you manage to find what it is you're looking for. As for that, actually, if you can think on what kind of genre the anime is, it might help you with narrowing the possibilities (and thus helping you see where to ask the question).

If you're unsure, the General Anime/Manga forum would be safest.

edit Hum ... 6,995 posts? Swear I'd hit 7K already.

Whether I agree with you or not you edited 8 posts yet I still see whalecum in many of them and you say that as if I forced you to do it. Are you truly welcoming a new member to your forum with resentment? If you do not enjoy the responsibilities you have been bestowed please don't take it out on members, especially not on new members. Quite arrogant if you ask me, I do not feel welcome at all.

Words have as much power as you give them, foul language as well as terrible spelling and grammar are commonplace on the internet, get over it. Perhaps not all of us learned in grade school that sticks and stones may break our bones but words can never hurt us. Why should a child know what whalecum is anyhow? If a child doesn't think it anymore than a spelling error then one can assume that some mild "toilet humor" is the least of their repertoire. If you ask me; sure symptoms of a dying forum most often include moderators with a bad attitude, typically on some sort of power trip.

Bear in mind PG-13 is a rating which includes violence, nudity, sensuality, coarse language, drug use, and mature themes and is butted up right behind the R rating... Are you really moderating or are you trying to drive away new members?

mod·er·ate [adj., n. mod-er-it, mod-rit; v. mod-uh-reyt] adjective, noun, verb, mod·er·at·ed, mod·er·at·ing.
adjective
1.
kept or keeping within reasonable or proper limits; not extreme, excessive, or intense: a moderate price.

As a moderator it is your duty to moderate and although you are free to post your opinion it is veritably unprofessional to voice your qualms about your duty in the place you perform it. Was my choice of words really 'extreme', 'intense', or 'excessive' by any definition? Clearly, from what I've seen, your responsibilities are not being fulfilled responsibly what with your sloppy and therefore pointless editing, nitpicking, complaining, going off topic, your very unwelcoming welcome of course, and overall disrespect. I feel right in my actions, do not think that I have (purposefully or otherwise) shown an initial sign of disrespect by disregarding the forum rules (not that that gives anyone any excuse to 'return the favor' anyway) the issue is quite trivial and I think I'm within 'reasonable' or 'proper' limits in conjunction to the rules.

If you have a weak constitution and/or are easily offended by candor language, or veracious behavior you have no business on the internet, I'm sure many can attest. It seems to me you felt you had nothing better to do to amuse yourself other than to flex your muscle and to that I say get a life.

If you have a problem with the way I moderate, please take it up with me in private via VM or PM, or take it up with a higher-up member of staff such as FlashD or Kaitou Ace. I'm not going to argue my opinion on the matter in public; I deemed the thread name to be inappropriate, thus I edited it. It's simple as that.

Welcome to AnimeForum and enjoy stay here ! Have fun ~

If I was greeted at Walmart in such a manner I'm sure the person who greeted me wouldn't have their job for too long. I think I expressed more character than the fashion in which you moderate. I wouldn't want to argue my opinion in the public eye either if I were in your position. I know you would very much like to escape the spotlight now but hey, thanks for the apology, that would have been a really great start. I suppose your higher-ups will see this in time but I'm not interested in tattling on you.

This category is for introductions and for the existing or active members to make new members feel right at home but I don't feel very welcome so we've come off topic. I can either leave this forum and abandon this thread as spam or we can get back on topic here and you can give me a proper welcome. How would a moderator a role-model for others proceed I wonder...

Thank You Kāito

Woah calm down. Mac(Shiiny) is a grumpy poop pants luckily after Introductions you don't see him much.

Hey there and welcome to the forum.

So I did actually leave but I'm back after 4/5 years :D I ended up going to another forum and found the anime I had forgotten. Thank you everyone for your warm welcomes. Looks like I was right about this forum dying.

*shrugs*

Dying, not dead. As are all forums these days, in the wake of big social media sites.
Personally, I still prefer the old style forums, and I happen to be a fan of the vBulletin system.

I used to be a main moderator for a VERY BUSY vBulletin forum called SakuraHana. That was far more active than AnimeForum has ever been (possibly because they were more lenient, and allowed maybe-not-so-legal-downloads of material).
I remember pressing F5 in the "Spam Forum", and each time there was a new post or thread to be viewed. And that was my job. Yay.
Anyway, my point is that SakuraHana is gone now. Caved, where AnimeForum still remains. It may be in some form of dregs, but you still have to appreciate that it is open at all. It would be sad if all of these community type forums were to vanish for good.

In any case, welcome back (...are you back?) and enjoy your stay.
For the record, Mahou Kishi Rayearth happens to be one of my top 10 series of all time. It was the first anime I can remember watching.
I'm actually a big CLAMP fan. X/1999 is also in my top 10.
