Site Run by Monkeys and Bias Kids

Archive: 29 posts

I accused the site staff of playing favoritism on the spotlight episodes. They hide behind scene by telling me to speak to them via Private Messages, yet they failed to tell the public on what's really going on. Holguin, himself told me he does not care in our Private Messages, but acts like he does care while on the public forums. Claims he is not bias, even after prejudging me and not his associates. The other staff members then intervene and tried to cover their steps. I asked them the most simple question, yet only ONE member had the balls to tell me that what the staffs were doing are UNFAIR and WRONG, the rest are in denial and decline to answer the question. Why, because they know I'm right.

Now, they just acted like nothing was ever an issue, brush it off as if sweeping the dirt under the rug hoping that they cleaned up their mess. For the staffs, if you're going to try to cover up something, do it right because you failed to hide it from me and many other members of this site. I've said this before and I'll say it again, just because you see me as one person, I am not one single voice. I speak on behalf of the other members who has seen the flaws you've failed to address and acknowledge. Would you care to explain everything on what has happened to the public, cuz you haven't yet..... what are you afraid of? What are you waiting for?

On another note, because of this incident. I reported a F4F abuse a little over a week and a half back. I nicely asked the creator to return the favor over 3 weeks ago, he failed to do so on purpose, he said it himself (nightshade_games). So I then gave him plenty of time, 2 weeks, he yet failed again. So I reported the abuse to the staff.... staff one, completely ignore my request, which was about a week and half now. So I asked staff 2, again, failed to reply or give me any feedback on the progress of my abuse report. They both just completely ignored me on the simple fact that over weeks ago, I accused them of foul play on the spotlights. I mean, this is very unprofessional on their part.

They act like monkeys and little kids, I wouldn't be surprised if they were. The site staffs are bias and they show it without realizing it, yet still decline to accept that they are. That's why I don't bother with their silly little contests, where the winner is usually the staff themselves or their friends, regardless if they created a decent game or not. FAVORITISM, yes it exist here, it's being played by the staffs and they are fooling most of the young members here because they are not smart of enough to realize it. I know for a fact that the entire staff has a sheer amount of dislike towards me, I don't even have to ask them, they've proven it with their ignorance and silence. I could even create the best game on LBP2 history and they would still not pick my game as a spotlight or contest winner on behalf of their hatred towards me. I ain't trying to sound paranoid, but it's evident that what I'm saying is true.

Shame on the staff and shame on the people who has been fooled for so long. I wished more people would be as brave as me and speak up. The staff will not listen to one man.... one voice and I know that many of you are supporting me, so let them hear your voices as well.

Side note..... I know I'll probably get banned for this, but it's worth it to lift off the blinds that has covered the truth about this site and it's staffs. This thread will probably get deleted too, I wouldn't doubt it.

LET YOU BE HEARD!!!

You have made a stunning point.

... But seriously, in that rant filled tirade of hatred and paranoia, I can see nothing that resembles a rational argument. If you could, say, rewrite that, but in a more... logical format that people not blinded by raw hatred could read and understand, I might be able to reply to your points. As it stands, I really can't even pick out what you're angry about. Something about LBPC being biased or something. Which I could try and refute, but honestly, I would be wasting my breath. Even though I don't breath to type. Ah well.

Perhaps you should give serious consideration to no longer visiting this site? That's what I would do it I had an issue with folks here. I'm pretty sure no one is forcing you to come here, and there are probably other LBP sites whose doorstep you could darken.

We know this thread will be locked or deleted eventually, so PLEASE mods, let's do it now and curtail all the whining that's to come...I'm getting pretty sick of it.

I read your post and carefully examined it to the best of my ability and from what I can gather you did not recieve feedback from nightshade_games on a level thread. He did not return any within 3 weeks, you report it twice, once to staff 1 and second to staff 2. They did not get back to you. You believe they did not respond because of a message you sent accusing them on foul play on the spotlights, something about them playing favoritism? After that you continue and flame and attack the members of the spotlight team, accusing them of acting like monkeys and kids, as far as I'm concerned, you did a very poor job of presenting your defence. You may be genuine in your stance, but I don't take you seriously when you come out acting very immature, it does not reflect well on you or your stance. If you were to retype this and present a calm and concrete defence I would take what you say into consideration seriously, but for now I don't.

It doesn't matter. It's a video game, and this is just a fan site. There are so many other problems in life that you could be focusing this energy on. Just another hate topic in the forums of LBPC.

I couldn't even put into words how uptight the community is here. I'll sound like a philosopher, but really, find some joy and relax. It's not worth getting angry about.

I already tried your so called "nice approach" and guess what it got.... nothing. I'm not one to sugar coat BS. I would not be surprised if you were one of those little youngings whose been caught under their hypnotic illusions.... thinking that they are legit to the fullest, I tell you that they are not. You failed you realize their flaws and their contradictions and be as in denial as they are.

Is it a coincidence that they ignored me because they were too busy or lazy, or was it because of the favoritism incident that led to this, I believe the latter. Oh, but when I accused them of favoritism, they jump right to it, then and there, they don't wait days to reply or simply ignore like they are now. I told them straight out that I did not want to cause a problem, but they were simply asking for it. You take this as immature, but only because you're not on my side of the playing field, you're on theirs, so thank you for that bias remark. Had you been on my side, supporting me, you would differ, guarantee. You obviously don't know me and how smart I am. There is no paranoia, just plain simple facts.

I'm not saying they are out to get me, I'm just saying that they are not taking responsibilities for their roles. Did they handle everything professionally, no. Instead they handled it like children. How does one try to fix an issue behind closed doors? What are they trying to hide, ask yourself that. I've already labeled countless times where they've contradicted themselves, yet you failed to see it with your own blind eyes. You can not convince a bias person anything, no matter how much proof you have against their beliefs. In this case, you believe in the staff and you believe that they are legitimate with everything they do. Therefor, you listen to them and believe them, no matter how much BS they feed you, no matter how much the world tells you that they are wrong.

Come on, does it take over a week to reply to a report? I mean, two staff members too? I can even make a report to all the staff members, more than likely that not one of them will reply. So Hell no, there's obviously a reason why they simply ignored me and that being the case of the favoritism incident. Put yourself in my shoes, had you cause such a stir with the staff and you want a reply and them not giving it to you, would you think it's obviously why not? Shall I quote the private messages the staffs has sent me? About them not caring, about them contradicting themselves....? But to a bias eyes, you will not see.

I have plenty of mails from members of this site supporting me, but some do not wish to speak as of yet, but a few will when the time comes. If I was paranoid, then why do I share the same thoughts as many others of this site? Put yourself in a neutral position, then you might actually start to see my claims and accusations. But if you're still brown nosing the staffs, then there is no chance you'll see what I see.

The spotlight is still backed up a little ever since the PSN downtime. And it may be true that they display and review levels by the more 'popular' creators, simply because that's what the majority of the community wants. But to call them monkeys, and their methods childish, is really just a childish move on your part.

Yes, I understand where you're coming from. No, I'm not just blindly defending the mods.

I'm sure you won't get banned, and that this thread won't get deleted. Locked at the worst.

Locked because they feel the need to silence the truth to cover their mistakes. Like I said, I tried it the nice way, the mature way. That gets nowhere, therefor I'm calling them out, they seem to reply when I treat them like kids, maybe because they are...... hmmm...

Or locked because you're spouting a bunch of mumbo jumbo and insults? Eh, nah.

If you really wanted to "call them out", you could have done so in a non hatred fueled rage. hell, I probably would have agreed with you on a lot of points if you had made the effort to not rant on about nothing. But since you made a point of ranting and playing the old "favoritism" card, I really can't take you seriously. But meh.

Do you not read? You keep talking about this proper manner mumbo jumbo as if I hadn't tried that with them already. How am I ranting about nothing when there is something, are you that blind? There are issues here that needs to be addressed. Are you straight up telling me that favoritism is nothing, that not taking responsibility for their roles is nothing? Come on now... listen to yourself. But meh =/.

EDIT: And of course you wouldn't agree with me either way, because you're ONE OF THEM..... of course you wouldn't bad mouth yourself.....

Yes I do read. However, your post goes wild and crazy to the point that I can't understand what the hell you're saying.

I do agree with many of your points, and, truth be told, I (in my stalking ways of stalking user pages) WAS looking forward to you creating a topic about site staff and policy- it would have been a good, healthy debate that I would hope could alter the site fundamentally. Seeing as how you would rather decide to rant incoherently and yell and scream, it depresses me that such a good opportunity had gone to waste.

You say you were nice before... in private. Considering that this is the first time anyone here knows about these problems you have, you can't just expect such an incoherent rant to be taken seriously, can you? Were you to have more properly and nicely submit your complaints, I WOULD have agreed with many of your complaints as well as discuss the rest rationally. But you can not honestly expect me to respond rationally to such a rant, do you?

EDIT: And now I'm "One of Them". See, this is the problem with all these threads- they assume we are all some single blob of opinion or something. I mean, seriously. Can you at least think rationally first before labeling everyone semi active here as part of some grand conspiracy? I can't even remember the last time I played LBP or did anything around here other then spout random gibberish... I'm only here because I have been for three years now, labeling me as "One of them" and saying that "They" will never see the truth reeks of paranoia :/

Trust me I know where you are coming from. (Not with LBPC, but with somewhere else) I know the nice and easy way seems like it won't get you anywhere. Just rewrite it in a calm tone voicing your anger, and maybe you'll get some people to rally behind you

Trust me this way of writing has happened before and alot of people on LBPC turn their backs on raw hatred. Re-Write it calmly, explaining the problem in a logical manner and mabye, just mabye people may listen to your point and take into consideration what your saying.

Sigh...here we go again.

You're wrong. Check this month's community spotlight and you'll see that the majority of those who had their levels picked are not "big names" on the forums. In fact, I've been around here for a loooong time and I barely recognise any of them. Even Foofles, who is a site veteran, spotlighted creator and on personal terms with many of the site staff comes right near the bottom of the spotlight page, so I see no evidence of favouritism there at all.

If your level didn't get picked for the spotlight then it's probably because it's not good enough. Try harder next time.

Saddens me that some people don't have that much of a concept of "patience."

You're sitting here screaming like a One-Eyed Banshee and this accomplishes nothing - it fails to boost your already vague argument, nor does it get people on your side. While you're kicking around like a Joey in its mom's pouch, others are calmly stating why you're not getting any support. It's like you're under a Rock...Sauron.

There's enough drama in your posts to film a Morgana Freeman movie, yet it doesn't have to be like that. You could be... reasonable and stoic, like a sniper in Killzone...quinn, and people would be with you.

Are you a penguin that lives in a hole? Would that make you a Holguin? Penguins shouldn't live in holes. Moles do.

And don't get me started about how Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaales sleep and stuff. They shut off half their brains? How could they even do math or think of super-sweet level ideas?

I'm suddenly reminded of a South Park episode where Cartman loses half of his brain. He becomes all confused... I'll have to look it up later, it's all fuzzy and Foofles to me.

Speaking of comedy - oh yes, your anger. I laughed. So in response, tryin' to make others laugh with some punny puns.

...What does a pirate say to a skeleton? "Yarrbone!"

that's all I got. :B

Hey, I'm sorry that you didn't receive a response from the staff members you contacted; we all move about on a busy schedule and at times things are looked over, it happens.
A good way to catch up with us is to simply report the post and give a simple explanation (for example, report the F4F post of the user who was late with their feedback); and if you feel it is urgent enough you could PM any other of the staff members or all of them and we'll try, when we can, to get back to you. Staff members do have activities to attend to outside of LBPCentral such as jobs and vacations, but at all times at least one of us will be available.

List of mod/admin staff to contact:
Aya042 (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/member.php?8898-Aya042)
Schm0 (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/member.php?9269-schm0)
Morgana25 (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/member.php?3201-Morgana25)
ConfusedCartman (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/member.php?118-ConfusedCartman)
warlord_evil (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/member.php?4945-warlord_evil)

Name calling isn't a good way to reach us though, and yes, you can speak in public, but then the whole community gets a say too, negative or positive! :eek:

As for the spotlight, I am in no way involved with the spotlight team, however I know that the team individually plays every level that is put up as a thread here on LBPC, and I've never known them to judge unfairly. I see the purpose of the spotlight as to be a showcase for the players, not the creators. It's the players in the end who get to enjoy the level. If your worried your level isn't getting the plays it deserves, your level always gets exposure to the community when you post a thread here on LBPCentral, the spotlight just shines a little more light.

Even when I first joined as a "noob", I published many levels, each never seeing any bit of the spotlight, but attempt after attempt I did eventually find my level on the spotlight, and this is only when I had gained 1 or 2 friends here, neither being part of the spotlight team or as any influence of it.

...Actually, a level's position on the spotlight list is dependent on when it was published; it's organized chronologically. So yeah, the position on the list means absolutely nothing.

Fair enough, but the point stands that most of those levels spotlighted are by creators who I have never even heard of after 2 years of frequenting this site. It certainly doesn't read as a list of people who are "cosy" with the site staff.

Quite simply, the TC is wrong in their accusation of favoritism. I have absolutely no doubt that those levels were picked solely on the merit of their quality, and to suggest otherwise is a grave insult to the creators who made them.

TBH, threads like this are getting really tiresome. People need to learn some dignity and humilty, and maybe think about congratulating those who got their levels picked instead of trying to demean their worth with this cry favouritism crap.

First of all, don't anybody keep telling me I didn't tried to handle this the proper mature way, get the facts straight because I did, so learn to read.

All I wanted was to be treated fairly. Otherwise there would be no problem. I WAS patience with getting my returned feedback from nightshade, I gave him a full 2 weeks, when he knows well enough and I told him so that he was originally supposed to give his feedback within 3 days. His response was that he would give feedback to everyone who has gave him some, but would make sure to give it to me last. This was already a week in, he also claimed to know what type of person I am and that it was his reasons for not returning his favor to me. A little over 2 weeks in, he stills decides to ignore my PM to F4F, and YES, he was active, I check how long ago was his last log ins. He just laughs whenever I do PM him. I don't believe the F4F will ever get returned, even after he said he would, his lack of integrity is an insult, not to just myself, but to others as well.

So I decided to contact ConfusedCartman, since he was the one who posted the rules on the whole F4F process. I sent a nicely calm PM to him explaining what happened, the following day he received it and decided that it was something he should ignore for some reason..... favoritism incident perhaps? A little over a week pasted by and I decided to contact Aya042 to see if maybe I'll get better luck from that person. Unsurprisingly, no help either and I know that person is ALWAYS on LBPC every single day. So this person also decided to follow the footsteps of Cartman for some reason as well..... hmmmm.... but why? Still to this day, no reply from either. So if two were very neglectful, why wouldn't the others be, since supposedly, you're all this great happy people willing to help anyone. 2 out of 2, hmmm, that's 0% help, I wouldn't be surprised going 3 for 3.... so why bother staying calm when they ain't gonna listen to you. Nice way, did NOT work.... so let's see if I can get their attention this time when I post it for the public.

I tried calling you all the proper name you've given yourselves, but you all paid no mind to me, but when I do call out the babies..... the babies reply..... so does that mean you were all babies all along? I mean, think about it, I don't turn my head when someone calls someone else's name, I do when they call me though.... hmm.... see where I'm getting at?

EXACTLY, you're not apart of the spotlight crew, so you wouldn't know what's going on, yet you act like you do. AND EXACTLY that you've never known them to judge unfairly, cuz you're NOT part of the crew, don't you get it? Shall I send you a PM I sent to one of the spotlight staffs who answered my question as to whether or not one of the spotlight crew member judge me very unfairly... that staff member agreed that I was treated unfairly by this other spotlight staff. ONE person actually had the balls to admit it, whereas the rest are still declining their actions. Yet, in the end, they all washed it off like the stains never existed. as if this staff member's reputation was never tarnished by his action of being unfair. But you know what, EVEN IF I sent you the PM about the conversations I had with the staff, you would more than likely question the legitimacy of the PMs I send, because you trust them more than you do me. You are not on neutral grounds, you stand on the other side of the line from me and this will cloud your judgment whether you like it or not, it's how the human mind works.

I'm not even talking about my level, I could care less if my level was picked or not for the spotlight, cuz I know how it's run behind the scene, behind the eyes of the staffs who are in denial about their choices and responsibilities. I would say more, but I'll give you a chance to say in a response to what I've said so far.

Not to mention this lack of logic is making me want to answer the rest of your points even more. Which is a shame, because, despite you thinking I am one of "them" for no reason other then that I am here, I DO think you have good points. You just... need to calm down a bit and not call us all names and rant without us being able to see what you even mean.

Also, seeing as how you say I am one of "them" and thus cannot possibly understand what you're saying... then what exactly is it you hope to gain, if we are part of some hive mind that does not want to have anything said against it? What's the point of arguing with us since you seem dead-set in your opinion that we are an evil organization bent on destroying LBP?

Pretty much what alot of people said is true, but they're not out for money. It's a non-profit site. They want everyone to feel welcomed and everyone will get a chance to be in thwe spotlight, even you! you just have to keep trying

Right.......... play the fool all you like, but I smell BS since the moment I've been a member of this site. I take far greater noticed than your average Joe. I can prove that with my history of gaming and keen eye to the smallest details in everything.

Quite simply, you don't know Jack. I can say the same thing right back at you without the slightest support as you did with yours. "Quite simply, Ungreth is wrong about everything." ".... and doesn't know Jack =)."

You want to talk about gaming qualities against me? I've mastered every genre of gaming, best of the best in almost every game I've ever touched. I know what makes a good game and what makes a bad game. I'm like a guru gaming critic. I saw a game chosen, which was bad at best. Only reason why it was picked was because he was a friend of the spotlight staff. Supposedly this game is AMAZING to them, LOL. It only featured 81 different possible variations or combination. The gameplay is broken so bad that it can be abused to the fullest extent. ONE type of enemy the entire game and guess what it does.... the hug of death, yes, that's right, a simple follower and call it a game..... LOL. The game is laughable. Oh wow, it's amazing, you can customize your ship 81 different ways.... my game make that game look like an ant under the shades of a colossus giant standing above Mount Everest. You can customize your ship 160,000 different possible variations or combination. That's 1,975 times more than his. And that was actually very easy to make, I can't imagine how many minutes it took to put up his game of 81 =/.

If you think I'm jealous, I'm not. Though I am new to LBP, I am a far much better creator than he is already. You want to talk about insults? It's an insult when a broken game gets chosen over a much far better game, that actually works and screams to be noticed. It's like having Van Gogh paint a beautiful picture against a 3rd grader in an Art contest and then having the 3rd grader win because the people judging the contest was the 3rd grader's classmates.... make any sense to you yet?

If you're so tired of all of this, then just look elsewhere, no one placed a gun on your head to read it. Enough said.

Ah yes, the conspiracy theorist's hallmark: You know everything and can figure out everything, but don't need to show us the evidence or listen to other evidence. Wonderful.

So, seeing as how you know everything about how this site is run (seeing as how you said so yourself)... ... Wait, not sure where I was going with that. hm... Ah yes. Tin Foil hat maybe?

so yeah, I'm disappointed, I was hoping you'd have good points, and all I get is a conspiracy theorist spouting out "facts" that they know because "they are smarter then most of us".

Well, regardless, I'll hold out hope that you are merely angry, and tomorrow will be able to come up with a more rational argument and none of this tin foil hat stuff :/

Also, seeing as how you say I am one of "them" and thus cannot possibly understand what you're saying... then what exactly is it you hope to gain, if we are part of some hive mind that does not want to have anything said against it? What's the point of arguing with us since you seem dead-set in your opinion that we are an evil organization bent on destroying LBP?

Oh I guess the PM didn't reach Cartman and Aya042 after like 10 days after sending it.... Yay.... so the PM was not something that has been said? Was the PM not something to respond to or was it just junk mail? I got no reply, which is I why I let it be known to the public. I'm addressing the issues and problems right here and now. That's why you're here.

You keep saying I have points, but I know you don't honestly mean that, because every time, you failed to state the points I've made. You say it as to act as if you're somewhat on my side, but I know better.

You're one of "Them" because are you not a Contestcrew member? You feel obligated to defend your associates, like I said, it's how the human mind works. It doesn't have to be logical to them, just as long as you defend your friend, may they be wrong or right.

Ah yes, the conspiracy theorist's hallmark: You know everything and can figure out everything, but don't need to show us the evidence or listen to other evidence. Wonderful.

So, seeing as how you know everything about how this site is run (seeing as how you said so yourself)... ... Wait, not sure where I was going with that. hm... Ah yes. Tin Foil hat maybe?

so yeah, I'm disappointed, I was hoping you'd have good points, and all I get is a conspiracy theorist spouting out "facts" that they know because "they are smarter then most of us".

Well, regardless, I'll hold out hope that you are merely angry, and tomorrow will be able to come up with a more rational argument and none of this tin foil hat stuff :/

Try reading the Spotlight episode 62 threads, there you will see my evidences and supports to my claims, I just didn't think it was necessary to say everything I said before again. So don't you prejudge me, because you've never heard about that incident. Go read it and come back, so your recent post are valid. Because right now, it isn't =).

...No offense, but you are starting to make an *** of yourself. To quote someone "It is better to keep quiet , and thought dumb then to speak and perish any doubt." You should stop the rants, and speak in a calm collected manner. Maybe then the auth will take you seriously. Also if you don't mind could you post those PMs in which the auth state that they don't care? Not that I doubt you since the absence of evidence isn't the evidence of absence. It'd just help your argument to some degree.

... No, you told CC and Aya. Then exploded at us. As if WE were to blame for their actions.

And your points are that CC and Aya, nay, the whole site staff, SHOULD be more active. Your point that they ignored your F4F, and YOU, IS a horrible thing to do. Were you to focus your post on that, or rather the seeming indifference of the site staff, rather then saying we are ALL to blame for those two's actions and calling us names, then I would agree with you.

But no, you merely assume I am "part" of the collective because YOU know all. You don't need "proof" or "facts". the mere fact I'm here means I MUST be against you, and defending CC and Aya, despite the fact that you cannot assume such blatant lies and expect everyone to take you seriously. If anything, I'm attacking Aya and CC, as they SHOULD have been more open- or rather, the entire site staff, since we do have too few and they don't respond much- as evident by the fact they never responded to you for two weeks.

But no, keep assuming I am against you and thinking everything I say is a lie and that everyone here is part of some hive mind. If you were to not rant and call us names, I would have agreed that the site staff doesn't do enough around here. Evidently, however, you cannot accept how we are not part of some hive mind, and thus assume I am defending my "Buddies". And then thinking your assumptions are fact. Because you cannot just take one quick look and then, because you're "smarter then the average joe", assume you know EVERYTHING that is going on around here.

Look.. your wrong. Ever since I've joined LBPC the staff here has been very nice to me and all of the members of LBPC. Whenever I had a problem the mods helped me out. Maybe the mod you contacted was on a vacation or something. And plus, LBP is just a game. I don't live my life on LBP.

For not responding to your PM sooner, I apologize. Due to some personal business (college stuff), I haven't checked my PMs in about two weeks.

Look, I'll be as plain as possible: you're making wild accusations, with nothing but assumptions and preconceived notions fueling your fervor. You're not the first to claim you've uncovered a conspiracy behind the Spotlight. Whether or not you want to believe it, the fact of the matter is our Spotlight Crew treats each level equally. Certain members are Spotlighted more because their creations are generally of a higher quality, not because our Spotlight Crew believes in preferential treatment. It has always been this way, and that's the way it'll stay.

As to the favoritism, there's no more favoritism among our staff than there is among any other group of people. We know certain members because they're especially responsible, friendly, and good-natured - and then there are those we know because they tend to cause a great deal of friction. Both groups make up a very small minority of the overall community.

To an extent, this plays into our decision-making. If we're considering candidates for an open moderator position, for example, we'll sooner choose someone who has a track-record of being helpful, responsible, and friendly over someone who's either too new or not active enough to have established that sort of track record. Taking that even further, we won't even consider those who we know to have a record of impatience, irresponsibility, or other undesirable qualities. This obviously extends into other types of decisions as well, such as project staffing (the Logic Pack) or crew creation (the new Contest Crew).

So, yes, in certain situations, we take into account what we know (or don't know) about an individual when making decisions. However, the Spotlight is not one of those situations. If you can post your level into the Showcase, you're eligible for the Spotlight. From there, it's all about quality.

I know I probably explained all of this in vain - from what I've seen you say thus far, you probably believe I've invented all of this. Oh well. The reality is, you've caused too much friction. If you had presented your opinions reasonably, we would have allowed some discussion. You didn't, so I'm not sympathetic. I'm locking this thread, and I don't want to see any more of this out of you (or anyone else, for that matter). It's ridiculous.
