quidditch4491 · 01-21-2005, 10:36 AM

I have a question. DO the people who manage HPANA modify the standings or is it automatic ? I just wanted to know...

**serenasnape** · 01-21-2005, 11:06 AM

It changes after you vote automatically, but they do reset it to start over again every week.

One more vote to tie, and two to move ahead... that is if no one votes for the other site. Keep voting!!!

SS is still second, but I've seen this message that I'd like to point out.

Quote:

I use this site, its okay, but there are some bad things about the site. The moderaters are given more powers over everything on the site, and some moderators can abuse their powers. For example, a moderator changed her name, and when I asked her if i could change my name, she didnt even reply, and then in her signature, she wrote 'i changed my username, and you cannot', or something close to that, such a hypocrite. Also, the creator of the site is a 30 something year old man, who reads harry potter. What kind of a thirty year old man reads harry potter?. Also there are some users that are quite annoying, mainly because they are so stuck up. I think that the news moderator, no names mentioned, likes to make him/her in a point of authority because they submitt news, and dont even give others a chance to submit news, because without submitting news, that moderator will just be any other plain moderator. Some people's avatars are very disturbing. Some moderators are subject to be biased in giving warnings, e.g. if a person liked a movie that had gory things in it, they wouldnt remove a person's avatar with blodd, and such images. Some people are nice, but most of the time they are all in their little clicqes, and then treat others like filth. In fact, alot of the users are obsessed. It is quite scary, and I have fears about their mental state. They are completely obsessed with Harry Potter. That is called idolism, and it is wrong. To be so obsessed with something is just totally bad. Alot of people spend all of their lives on the site, and i wonder if these people will even contribute towards the earth, or just feed of the light from their computer screens! There is a line between likeing something, and being completely obsessed. Goodbye.

Just putting my two cents in: A thirty year old can like Fantasy books. It's not wrong. 2. I am 99.9% sure that that mod would be Rovie. She has replied to many posts regarding changing usernames, and THEN she put that line in the siggy. 3. I think that that news moderator is Emma, and I know that she accepts information from other people. It's on the front page. And it's stated clearly. 4. Some people aren't that obsessed with Harry Potter, this is like an all-things-allowed-besides-some-stuff forum, not just a Harry Potter one.

I TOTALLY agree. First off, as for our 30-year-old-owner, it IS possible to like those books. And, if he never had, then we never would have gotten this site. Older people are needed to run things, and books aren't made just for children.

Next if, as Tina believes, Rovie doesn't want to change people's user-names, then so be it. You chose the name. You stick with it. Yes, the line in her siggy may have been stretching it, but still.

New Mod AKA "She submits the news". People used to be able to do it all the time until people used to start putting up stupid and false stuff. Again, there is a reason the mods have those powers.

I would not say that I'm obsessed at all. Yeah, there are some people obsessed with it, but so what. They'll grow out of it. Just because we took a good liking to the characters or the books does not make us obsessed. Grrr...

Mods DO have powers over people because THEY ARE MODS. They have worked to acheive positions in which they can have such powers. We DO need people to run this site afterall.

The sigs and avatars are disturbing? How are they disturbing? Just because you don't like hand-drawn blood, doesn't mean that we have to say "No, I'm sorry. There's a few people here that don't like blood." How about we start taking out all things that disturb people? Oh, might as well take out avatars then.

Just because some members talk to their friends as opposed to the rest of the world doesn't make them stuck-up. I may have my "clique" in the school, but out of it I have a good deal of friends and people I talk to you and if you are rude or ignorant, then I ignore you but most people here talk to EVERYone as well.

Stupid people leave stupid comments. -rolls eyes- And, if this person is on SS and is reading this, a hypocrite is a person who says one thing and does the opposite. IE: Someone says that it is wrong for you to do this and they go and do it. No body ever said that NO ONE can change their names.

GRRRR.... That made me mad because, apparently, I "idolize" SS.

cooly_s · 01-21-2005, 12:51 PM

Omg, I think that if this continues like this, we can really be #1!!!!

-makes yay ss is the best dance-

yeah...
freaky

but they can't compete with SS!

EmmaRiddle · 01-21-2005, 01:29 PM

This is the second time (to my knowledge) abusive comments have appeared on the HPANA topsites comments and it's bang out of order. The person, whoever they are, is obviously a coward as they've left it as anon.

Does this person even know the woman who writes the books, Jo, is 37?!

I hate idiocy. Don't get too frustrated guys and you're right EVERYONE can submit news, should they want to.

The funny thing is the person, whoever they were, left their email: happychickenperson@gmail.com How stupid is that?! If you're going to bad mouth a site, the last thing you leave is an address to receive backlash through.

dagger · 01-21-2005, 01:35 PM

Err Well i'll vote but i mean i'm still annoyed that for the last year some people weren't informed about the sorting until now.. Well Allpotter looks really bad... ahh well i voted..

Ha Lol Thats really funny thanks riddle i needed a laugh..

EmmaRiddle · 01-21-2005, 01:39 PM

We can't inform people a year before the sorting, cos we don't know when it'll happen untill about 3 months before. The sorting dates are always printed on the front page of the site and announcements are put up several weeks before it opens so, there's more than enough notification about it.

dagger · 01-21-2005, 01:47 PM

I know now thanks anyway Marcella

Lol, i agree, why would they leave their email there? Although there is a 50% chance that it is not their real email. They might have just put in a fake one.

**fr2nc1z** · 01-22-2005, 05:33 PM

That is weird, I wonder why someone would go through the trouble of leaving those messages! If you dont like something, then just don't do it. If this person doesnt like SS, then this person should forget SS exists.

Ah, we're in 1st place!!1 ^-^
