You're right, I'm trying to force my ideals and standards on him and the rest of IB, as the moderator that is my right, you don't like it? Apply to be a moderator yourself. My advice was not to rush, it was to take a step back and read more before he came to post. There are a number of users who have followed that advice and come back to be pillars of this community, it's very hard to deny the successful nature of the idea. You may not like my method but you don't have to, you're not my boss.
You don't need to be a moderator in order to force your ideals and standards on the forum, anyone is capable of doing that. I'd bet a good amount that you were forcing your ideals and standards onto others long before you had the responsibility.
I didn't say your advice was to rush, I said the method your using and the way through which you're 'giving him advice' is going to rush him.

There is no false guise I was very clear about how I enjoy mocking people, and if it helps someone get better it's a bonus.

it's your uphill battle I'm trying to help(God knows why)
Going by your own words your real intention was just to mock him and not actually help him at all.

My primary goal on Fakku is to enjoy myself, making IB better is only secondary. Don't think for a second that I really care about making friends or making people feel welcome in IB, that's for other sections. You want a soft touch, go pm gambler and he'll give you all the love and support you want. I deal with IB, the gutters of this forum and it's up to me how I'm going to administer the "lessons". Solid's willingness to overlook other users problems is because he isn't in a position to change them, I am.
Anyone who is as balls deep in love with themselves as you are isn't capable of making critical judgements on the behaviours of others. You put too much of yourself into it, you have no idea whether or not Solid would moderate or act like you do if he had the responsibility. Someone doesn't need to be in a position to change problems in order to do something about them, the difference between he and you is that if you were both on the same level, you would ridicule someone else for their problems and he would probably step back and say "everyone has their problems, even me." The reason I think so is because he actually willingly admits when he's in the wrong or if he's not doing something appropriately or made a brash decision. You on the other hand would probably just sit there in continual denial if anyone ever called you out. You're the kind of conceited fool who would think admitting he's wrong is an act of great shame.
By the way they aren't called sections they're called forums, the collective of the forums as a whole is called a message board or bulletin board, or usually just board.

Final point; confidence and arrogant bravado are the same thing on a forum.
When I want to help someone I do it because I genuinely wish to do so, not because I want to impress those around me. The way you say these things just makes it seem like you're trying to justify your actions and the person you are.
"I'm a moderator so I have the right to force my conceited opinions and ideals."
(Hiding behind the title of moderator, how mature.)
"Arrogant bravado and confidence are the same thing on a forum so I'm actually a confident person."
"All people who post on a forum seek the acceptance of others."
"I'm mocking someone and I get pleasure out of this but it's okay because It's also a form of advice and they can learn something from it."
What, are you insecure with yourself? Jesus man, just come out say you're an arrogant prick and you enjoy being like that. There isn't any reason for you to beat around the bush like you are to wind up saying the exact same thing at the end of the day.

Ive decided to deal with new users this way, my way because it's how I manage to find enjoyment amongst all the shit I have to deal with. I will continue to do so until I quit or am fired. You want someone softer, then you apply to be a moderator and you can hand out all the limp dick advice you can come up with. Until that date you're just going to have to deal with me.
What shit? This board is very tame compared to others and other moderators seem to deal with it without romping around like a jackass and picking on other people to make them feel better about themselves. Of course you aren't them, maybe you're just not the best at handling the 'shit' moderators have to put with?
