Well I turned up to see what it was like on the chat room, immediately got threatened with banning cos I wasn't a recognised 'Clique' member. After trying to join in the quiz, with an admittedly crap and slow connection, I actually scored a correct answer which has been removed from the listing above. That's just me being picky however. It wasn't a friendly welcome at all. I am a regular visitor to the site and enjoy reading the threads here but don't often join in with posts as I don't think I would be adding much to the conversations taking place. I would like to say this only a gripe about one evening, not the entire site or a one particular person. If Mods feel this is is an unjust statement of what occurred then I will gladly remove it and/or myself from this board to meet requirements. Thank you. Actually I not only refute this I take offense. When you came on in the name 'caketron' I, wrongly, assumed you were one of the normal chat-room jokers. And I asked you (and SG who was using the name godlike) to change to your proper board names because I wouldn't put caketron down on the scoresheet. When it was pointed out that cake _was_ your board name I apologised. Hardly "threatened with banning". For the record only one person has _ever_ been banned from the chatroom and that was for repeated verbal abuse of members and staff members. And in that one case it was a unanimous decision by the channel ops.

actually we were threatened with banning if we didnt change our names at first
but after pointing out that cake was his name everything calmed down
I do have to say that at that point the chat didnt look welcoming to someone new

I am sorry if you are offended by my words.
I believe your statement upon my and SSG's joining the chat-room were "change your id's to your real names or you will be banned from the chat room." Does that not constitute a threat? Perhaps if you had inquired as to whom we were at the Moon then the answer would have prevented your immediate sentence. History to which I personally do not have experience of may have coloured your attitude but honesty is the best policy and trust us everything. I was not given a chance to provide my bona fides.
Therefore my original comment stands.

As previously stated I did not threaten either you with banning from the chatroom.
I said I diddn't want to use those names in the scoresheet. (I might have said something to the effect of bar you from the game).
Your complaint also doesn't mention that your response (rather than to state you bone fides) was to be bloody rude in reply. It was SG that pointed out that cake was your board-name.
It also diddn't mention that once it was pointed out I apologised.
You also don't mention that when _explictly_ asked not to respond to repeated questions you carried on doing so.
So no I feel your original comment doesn't stand IMO.
But anyway it's probably best that we agree to disagree. Please feel free to come to next weeks quiz we would be happy to see you there.
And just to get us back on Topic (and cos I diddn't say it in the score post) Well done hellhound on a well deserved win!

I think you'll find my response to your threat was to state my Message board ID was indeed Cake as SSG did the same, as you have recalled above.
In response to answering repeat questions, after you stated I had -4 points following the question (not a repeat) I did actually correctly answer first, I only answered three or possible four questions without success and stopped. Later I noticed people making comments of repeat questions but was taking no further part and left very soon after the quiz had ended. I can only presume that you doubt the veracity of my statements which leaves this as your word against mine. I have little history and few friends here, let alone a 'title' but none here have ever called me liar.
Except yourself, today. This was not intended to start a war or even a revolution but it seems to be the trend when a comment or complaint is raised. My statement was to be that all is not as it seems, there may be 'more than meets the eye' to any new members who attempt to join in with such events. I made no allusion to any one person but you have taken it upon yourself as a personal attack when none was offered or intended. I point this out only because this is an endless debate when some would just say "Oops! We'll try not to do that again" and walk away.
'Tis an awful shame...

I have little history and few friends here, let alone a 'title' but none here have ever called me liar. Except yourself, today. At no point have I called you a liar I simply disagreed that a threat was made. As to the repeated question: Admittedly we did have some problems with questions tongiht being repeated from last week (which was my fault for not vetting them properly from last week) But in this case the question was asked, someone else answered, and 2 questions later it was repeated. You did this less than 2 minutes after I stated clearly that if we had any repeated questions not to answe them. So I deducted the 2 points you scored (I admit I did originally say 4 points in the channel but was corrected that you had scored 2 points as your answer came after the 2nd hint) This was not intended to start a war or even a revolution but it seems to be the trend when a comment or complaint is raised. My statement was to be that all is not as it seems, there may be 'more than meets the eye' to any new members who attempt to join in with such events.

I point this out only because this is an endless debate when some would just say "Oops! We'll try not to do that again" and walk away. 'Tis an awful shame... My response was based on the fact you claimed you were threatened with being banned (which I still maintain did not happen). And for the comment I did make I apologised as soon as it was pointed out that I was wrong. New members are very welcome which is exactly why I responded to the accusation of a threat being made. Had my intention been otherwise I could very easily have removed your original allegation. As you have said though this is an endless arguement and I will repeat my invitvation to next weeks quiz (I will be changing the bot to remove those annoying repeated questions)

'Twas another entertaining quiz last night! SSG, I honestly thought you were Skywarp, Xbot etc Was funny trying to work out who you really were, I wouldn't have guessed it in a million years, probably 'cos I don't know you well enough. Congrats on the deserved win Hellhound. Shame I couldn't knock you off the top spot myself NS (you can tell I'm ultra-competitive can't you?). I'll try again next week ;D Mirage, silly question, but what's the star next to my name on the scores?I assume its to do with the fact that I got extra points which weren't recorded for answering repeat questions(yes I know I probably shouldn't have answered them, but we all did LOL) Glad that you're not going to be using that Quiz bot again next week, the repeated questions were so bad! Cake, nice to see a new face in the chat room, hope to see you in there again sometime.

Mirage, silly question, but what's the star next to my name on the scores?I assume its to do with the fact that I got extra points which weren't recorded for answering repeat questions(yes I know I probably shouldn't have answered them, but we all did LOL) No it's me not having deleted it from the scoresheet the quizbot outputs. e.g. Name1 3pts * Name2 2pts * Name3 1pt And the only 'repeated' questions you answered were ones which I hadn't removed after last weeks quiz. Not ones that had been asked during this weeks quiz. I let those stand as there were 3 people there who wern't in last weeks (SG, Cake, Steve) and if I deducted points from you or anyone else who was in last weeks quiz It would be unfair. In retrospect, it would have been unfair. But next week we will be using a new quiz list entirely. You got points added for being the first to answer a question which the quizbot completely ignored you (and everyone else) answering. I'm just hoping the new quiz-bot will be a little less buggy.

I'm sorry Cake felt like that. All I'd say is that as a relitivley lesser-known / infrequent poster on the board, I've been made to feel most welcome during my little forays into the Chatroom.
Having said that, I still think I was cheated out of 4 pionts. "CYBERTRON" should've counted! ;D
