Tsubako Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I've been an happy hackintosh user for four years by now, and sincerely I really don't care which method of installation is better as long as I can have my hack working properly. I've always bought original software by the way so I naturally exclude distros from my choiches. I've started my hackintosh experience on this forum, but soon enough I moved to Tonymacx86. There, many people saved my bacon more than once and I'm grateful for that. In all honesty I must admit that I've find odd that some of my posts disappeared from a day to another, let's say they like to trim here and there and they do it too easly. Shame on them for this, but the overall experience was good enough and I donated too. However, and still in honesty sake, I've never been treated as bad as I was here, on this forum, on the netbook/asus section; and it clearly was a moderator's mistake back then, which got solved lately but still made me migrate to tonymacx86. This to say that, we all makes mistakes and you can find a**holes everywhere on earth and sometimes we have to deal with this... the real shame is when you shut other people mounth without giving the chance to explain or reply. So shame on two things; the easy bans and the (written or not) rule that one should never discuss a moderator opinion. {censored} Regards from another maccaroni English speaking Italian user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esiste anche una regola che se vuoi discuterci devi farlo in PM, altrimenti questo già basta per passare dalla ragione al torto (E' come se discuti con i Carabinieri per le regole fatte dallo stato, loro si devono attenere a quelle..) Quello che non sai che anche un Moderatore ha delle regole ferree da seguire, e non può fare come gli pare: come Alessandro17 ha detto ci sono gli Amministratori, che possono essere super partes in eventuali diverbi. Qui basta parlarne, e ti assicuro che nessuno ti può tappare la bocca! Perhaps "not all the donuts can with a hole", even here, but between the Forum Rules is also to not publicly discuss with the Moderators, for the simple fact that they (like me) were responsible to moderate forum, and must make cuts where need it and if need. There is also a rule that if you want to argue with a Moderator you must do it in PM, otherwise this already enough reason to switch to the wrong (it's like arguing with the Police for the rules made by the State,... they must adhere to those ..) What you do not know that even a Moderator has strict rules to follow, and can not do as he pleases: as Alessandro17 said there are Administrators who may be "Super Partes". Just talking about it, and I assure you that no one can close your mouth! Micky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Cat Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 ^ Good point that. If you've never had to do it, it's easy to forget that on the vast majority of forums out there, mods have to play by quite strict rules too. Then again, at tonycrapmac (cheers for the new name X58_OSX ), obviously the mods are given a little more freedom to express their inner jerks than they probably should be. Their admins, or even the webmaster, needs to reign them in and probably fire a few of them for good measure too. Or do they want to promote that sort of environment... I've no idea.

Tsubako Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Well let's not get onto details about this, no need to stir the pot, it's been a long time by now. I've sent you a PM to clarify, Alessandro. That said, let's get back on track; my point remains. People should understand, on both sides (here and at Tony's place, and why not... everywhere) that at times a little tolerance and a second chance are way better that blindly follow the rules. The reason is pretty simple and this topic itself is the proof; when some act cocky, some will get upset. And those people will defiantly complain about that on other forums.

mendietinha Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 there is no better method than use an original or unmodified image and mount the installer manually, without anything extra. basic system and your hw working part by part, via dsdt, ssdt, and other advanced tools. here you are with some of the best osx86 experts in the world. there you are just an alien in a comercial site. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To sum up, InsanelyMac > tonycrapmac. Oh no, it is not easy to forget, some things simply can not be made by the Moderators .. Moderators seek advice before embarking on an action (if he has doubts), maybe can go wrong also, but not with eyes closed. I'm thinking about how we can discuss this, knowing that in other places just press "Edit" or "Delete", and everything is silenced forever! Fortunately on InsanelyMac, you can talk about that too. Of course there are rules, perhaps this Topic serves to purpose, in others you'd OT. A community of people needs rules to avoid chaos, and I assure you that moderation is important, but I think that regulates NR 1 is to be educated. However, this is my thought: OSx86 is a game, it's good until it is a pleasure, not expecting anything, and do not complain if some things do not work.. many people think that aid is due, but they are wrong, because here all came from people who spend time (without pay), and pretend that they fix everything is always an absurd request. I do like it when a person invents something and shares with others: just say thank you, do not pretend and taking into account all this, because who invents solutions has only his name to be recognized. See steal his work is immoral: there are those who have conscience, there are those who do not have one! ..and some have forgotten that OSx86 is not installation assistance, but share experiences (give and take). This is thought of Micky1979, not necessarily that of Micky1979 Moderator. Micky 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Deal Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 was banned cause of 10.9 mavericks do you all remember the day when tonymac was a good site now it's {censored} No.. i can't remember so far. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 No.. i can't remember so far. Neither can I. Tonymac was originally a member here, not much different than any other. But then, in 2010, he started a long topic which was nothing but a long advertisement for his new forum. That topic was eventually deleted (but it can still be read by senior members of staff) and he got a warning, nothing serious. Already at the time people were saying: "he steals from people without citing credit". Until August 2011 he was asking for help from us for a pretty simple matter. What a guru! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theconnactic Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Pandora Box used to have among its unique features the ability to install any OSX version since 10.7. What are you saying that?, you'd all ask. The fact is, Voldemort just released his newold uni-spell, which also provides this amazing feat. Wonderful! Well, not: creating dopelgangers is a basic requisite for any mage apprentice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is proof that there is a lot of freedom! Unfortunately, there are rules to follow here too, I hope you have read it Ok, I'll tell you one thing. Here no one can ban anyone, unless it does an Administrators: Moderator, can hide, delete, edit your post, give warning. If a user breaking the rules, the post concerned is taken into the subject to be discussed. But only Administrators can ban a user! This makes me think that even on tonymac site the same thing happens ..... maybe you're concerned banned from tonymac, MacMan or Stork??
