What is common to you, is not necessarily common to me. I've received many snarky comments during my precence here, but I never heard you to support me.

I was not referring to me. I was referring to common courtesy as a general statement of how you should deal with others if you want respect back again.

The suggestion to use common courtesy was an attempt to support you in becoming a more contributing and potentially valued member of this site and these forums. Disagreeing with you, or trying to politely point out where I think you've made a mistake, or an error in judgement, doesn't mean I won't support you in future if/when you have a valid argument that I agree with or if I find someone unreasonably having a problem or issue with you.

Only yourself and Giro-X mention that it plays back to 5900. Tar couldn't get it to play back at all, and Vaz only said he doesn't know why it doesn't play back properly but didn't say whether he actually tried replaying it or what score it reached. In other words, neither of them mention the 5900 score. Therefore Phil was the 3rd person who indicated that it plays back to only 5900 and the score was then adjusted to that amount.

But again, the important point is that the score was finally adjusted and all I was trying to politely suggest was that a simple "Thanks for fixing." or something along those lines to show some appreciation would be a better approach to consider taking in future.

Cheers,
BeeJay.

Apparently your own opinion refers to you only.I think you have a wrong idea about "common courtesy". Do you use to respect people who don't respect you?

Well, are you sure that people like giro-X, kale, novice can recognize and appreciate a contributing valued member?

"Tar couldn't get it to play back at all" means to you that Tar can playback normally the inp to the claimed score?

Fixing something after 9 months and after I asked it several times is bad moderation. But ok if you insist, I thank the mod...
Will mod now fix the other issues I have reported as well?

Sigh. I give up. You clearly don't want anyone to think you're anything other than a contrary moaning complainer and therefore deserve whatever comes your way.

But that doesn't mean I won't continue to pull up you, or anyone else for that matter, who puts out comments that are clearly designed to be antagonising and/or blatantly ignoring what is obvious to others or when people have gone out of there way to try to politely show you where your are wrong. A perfect example of being antagonising is asking someone if they're sure the manual scan they went out of their way to find for you is for an arcade version of the game when that said manual scan has comments about coins, cabinet style, etc and is therefore blatantly obvious that it is for the arcade version of said game.

No, it means he couldn't even get game to start the playback and therefore couldn't confirm that it will "reliably" play back to only 5,900 points. If nobody can get it to playback at all, then it can considered to be zeroed, but once some people can get it to playback, albeit to a significantly reduced score, we can't reduce it to that score until three people confirm that it plays back to only that reduced score.

You give up what, it is not a fight match, it's a discussion.
Am I complainer for what?
Don't worry about whatever comes in my way, you better take care for your way.

I'm always ready to hear where I'm wrong, and I use to tell to othes where they're wrong too.

This does not make much sense. Which game? What is the point of this sentence? What is antagonising?

He can't play the claimed score, period.
32040 was the claimed score, not 5900.

Correct, he can't play the game back at all but two others could play it back to 5900. That doesn't mean we can reduce it to 5900 at that point as we only have 2 x people that confirmed a 5900 playback and 1 x people that can't play it back at all. If all three were unable to play it back, then we could have zeroed the score.

It's your comment, surely you can remember making it in another thread?!? Specifically it was the Pacmania thread. I was just quoting it here as another example of you making antagonising comments or, perhaps more accurately, comments that can easily be taken as antagonising whether or not you intended for them to be antagonising.
PP. wrote:What is antagonising?
Here's the definition from the online dictionary at dictionary.com:

Antagonising
verb (used with object), antagonized, antagonizing.

1. to make hostile or unfriendly; make an enemy or antagonist of: His speech antagonized many voters.

2. to act in opposition to; oppose.

What, I'd better take care when I'm honestly trying to give some feedback on improving your social skills. Sure, I'll take care to continue trying to help those who want to listen and/or improve their social skills.

We can't reduce it to 5900 ok, so we 'll let it to 32040?... Is this your logic?

I've made threads for many games, I couldn't know for which one you were talking about.
As I said many times, I make comments to help the community and the fair competition.

I didn't ask for the dictionary definition, I asked you what is antagonizing in my posts.

1.But I know how they come across.
2.Many gamers do the same, but I don't hear you blame them too.

4.:D sense of humor. I'm probably much older and more experienced than you.

Until such time as we have three people that confirm it only plays back to that score, yes. The reason for this is because, historically, there have been games where some people can play back to the advertised score, some can play back to the 'same' lesser score, and some people can never play it back. That's the whole reason why we wait until there are 3 people in the same category before adjusting the score for a game, either to zero or to a reduced score to which 3 or more people can reliably replay that inp.
PP. wrote:I didn't ask for the dictionary definition, I asked you what is antagonizing in my posts.
No, you simply asked "What is antagonising?" and I answered that question. If you'd said "What is antagonising in my posts?" then that would have been a different question altogether, and somewhat superfluous given that I had already given you an example of said antoganising wording.
PP. wrote:I've made threads for many games, I couldn't know for which one you were talking about.
There's only 1 thread where you asked if the manual scan was for the arcade version of the game. It's not that hard to remember the game for which you asked that very specific question... surely?!?
PP. wrote:2.Many gamers do the same, but I don't hear you blame them too.
I've not seen many recently going on and on about the games on which they have reported playback issues. Yes, many people report problems with playbacks, and that is fine. What is not fine is repeatedly asking why nothing has been done yet, given that this site is run by volunteers who have non-gaming related activities taking up their precious time. Especially as we've already told you that it's not necessarily being ignored but more likely that people have other more important real life activities demanding their time. However, the more you repeatedly ask, the more the "boy who cried wolf" syndrome will kick in and the more I, and probably others, will start ignoring those type of posts from you.
PP. wrote:4.:D sense of humor.
Yes, I have a sense of humour. I never said that I didn't.
PP. wrote:I'm probably much older and more experienced than you.
Interesting assumption to make. I don't assume who's older or more experienced as I have no idea of your age or the amount of life and/or gaming experience you have.
PP. wrote:5.I said I'll hear, not I'll accept. I'll accept only useful and right things.
So why are you so unwilling to accept the evidence presented to you that Pacmania difficulty C is in fact harder than difficulty B. That is both 'useful' and 'right' information?

I totally enjoy an inp made professionally and on a legit game.
i.e. I've watched your Tatsujin inp a few months ago, cool stuff. 8)
