They would have to actually be in DC before they can be released from it.eggs mayonaise i call upon you! lend me your strength to free those unjustly in DC!
I'm not in the mood to debate. Just to do a whole lot of nothing. So here I am doing nothing. See you in The Mine Field.
You forgot point number 3, mm!Two points....
1. It's not up to me now, but I will make my opinion known.
2. It's not about doing nothing. It's about being so stealthy about it that no one really sees moderation going on. It's the visible moderation that "upsets" people. It's admins who declare in public they are going to harass someone and then do it.
Luci is a jackass, and there is NOTHING wrong with keeping QSF cleaned out now. But in the other forums, if he's not breaking the rules, he has just as much right to show himself as a jackass as anyone else. If people are bothered by his nazi hate speech act, then they better be bothered by everyone elses nigger hate speech.... or whatever the hate speech du jour is.
Expecting staff to treat a few select threads differently is making us jump thru hoops and I dont play that game. You of course can if you want to, but then you get threads like this started by people who arent the usual suspects
but are not happy with the way things are going.
How much bitchier do I have to get before I get a spanking?
mm
My stance is that there should be no admin abuse at all.Menty, seriously? If I knew your stance on this matter, I wouldn't have bothered in the first place. What I know is what is written in the rules, and what you said in connection with the Blackfoot incident. That's far from knowing your general stance on this.
You are massively oversimplifying things. It may seem quite simple to run a board like TK and just let it all kick off and be a chaos ridden free-for-all but I do sort of have higher aspirations for the place. You can all chuckle now...And that case would be what? I always thought this place prides itself in NOT being as all those other mb's out there with admins and board owners who get to decide what constitutes dribble and what doesn't? Once again, I see the problem when the spamming causes server issues, but otherwise? Are you telling me that it all boils down to 'if Menty/the admins think my posts are dribble, I'm fucked?
If it was a mistake, then I earn the condescension, I guess.First of all I moved this thread by accident when I was moving Darthsikles spam threads out of QSF. Just a tiny accidental arrow click and we get to enjoy more indignant rage. :apopcorn:
My God everyone is fucking angst ridden today.
OKMy stance is that there should be no admin abuse at all.
I have never entertained the idea of TK being an easy board to run. I can damn well imagine how insanely difficult this stuff can be. I didn't exactly cry 'admin abuse waaah waaah waaah' in my first post rather than trying to get you guys to think over the way things are being handled, so please cut me some slack.You are massively oversimplifying things. It may seem quite simple to run a board like TK and just let it all kick off and be a chaos ridden free-for-all but I do sort of have higher aspirations for the place. You can all chuckle now...
Hey, this is exactly what I wanted to be clarified in the beginning, and it matches exactly what I would like to see on TK, too, so I am happy again and laughter, joy, and daisy-chains, too.Look, here's the deal: I reversed what Conchaga did to Charles and now Aquehonga is out of DC and I can safely say there will be no more admin button trolling. I am to blame for not taking a firm position after the Charles incident and making it clear to all that we are made and broken by our consistency even if it may be fun to change Luci's text pink and what-not. From this point forward there will be no more "admin abuse" and everyone will be treated equally and fairly no matter how obtuse they are and DC will be used only for serious breaches of the rules.
There. It's now policy.
What I said about coming down harder on those who dribble all over the place is still relevant though. I want on topic forums, a cut down on junk spam in all but one or two places and a general effort made to make the board more enjoyable for everyone. Thats what the staff do and I am very thankful to all of them for doing it. I have not been able to lead from the front very effectively because I am an insanely busy person especially of late and so I trust my staff to be autonomous and make decisions like whether idiots are dribbling everywhere (being purposefully disruptive not based on opinion or popularity) or purposefully skirting the rules to get a reaction and thus lowering the quality of the board.
I am aware of that. And if you could show me even one (!) incident before today where I have acted otherwise during your reign, it would be one hell of a surprise for me. As for today - to be honest, I wasn't too sure if I even wanted to be on staff anymore before Eggs posted (yes, I was truly mad), I stopped spamming right after he did, so... yeah.You being a member of my staff are no different.
