I'll take the opposing view. I agree with the majority of what they said. Especially the mods stirring the pot and not being neutral. Making a negative note and not giving anyone a chance to respond is all true. They did however miss the mark on why Tim was suspended.
I've already expressed those concerns privately and publicly. By and large the moderators are great as is the site.
They missed the mark on a lot of things but you're right that they did make a few good points,
I think the reason a mod pointed out the value of Kirby was because puppywaffles made such a soapbox affair out of his post (which was completely glossed over in the video).
They're right that it was probably not a necessary thing to say. As far as mods getting in the last word before locking topics, have any examples? I haven't really noticed that happening if that was the case.
Ding!
We've had members donate free games to someone who's house burned down. Donate time and effort to others in periods of need. Half of the Secret Santa participants go well above and beyond the minimum expected requirements. ROMs have been dumped for free. The list can go on and on.
I'm all about acts of generosity. But there are countless acts that go on unthanked on this form on a daily basis. It is more about realizing the perspective of all acts of generosity, rather than diminishing the gift of Kirby.
I'm glad someone got it.
Yup! Atwood gifted someone a French Kirby and SnuffyWaffles and Pat and that guy in his video all seem to think it's some kind of amazing act of charity. This shit's been going on for years and the more I hear about this Kirby "act of kindness", the more I think Atwood goded Waffles into making a thread to make himself look good.
Considering I contacted him on eBay he had no clue who I was on NA. He also didn't know what I was posting, I just asked if he minded. These types of comments should be left to PM. Snuffywaffles? That's real creative.
I never said his act of kindness was better than anyone else's...now whose speculating?
Anyway before it gets brought up, I am not the biggest fan of Pat. He contacted me about this whole thing. I could have easily given a biased answer, instead I sent him the links to ALL the Atwood threads and told him to form his own opinion. Nothing else.
I hope everyone has a good day, I'm now leaving this thread because it is pointless and just bringing more attention to Pat and Atwood, which I thought we were done with like a week ago...
I know you aren't going to post in this thread anymore, but you really shouldn't have generalized the entire NA community with blanket statements in that topic.
Anyway, so if Pat contacted Puppywaffles, and Puppywaffles really did give him all the threads and facts, then it seems Pat is taking this opportunity to throw NintendoAge under the bus by leaving out the important details. Pat already called Tim a hero. Hell, I did too. I didn't expect to see topics like the Safe Space Vote For Trump thread and calling people dicks out of what I originally thought was a stand-up guy. But, I guess it doesn't fit the 'Tim the Hero' narrative.
