It's not worth it. It's not worth all of the energy. There are other things, other people that matter more and wasting time on ones who shouldn't matter just doesn't bring any good to anyone.

I thought some of you were better people. Especially since a certain ban was completely uncalled for. And no I'm not talking about Legion, I mean the recent Manda ban. Everybody does stupid things, but things happen to them and they can change and I know a genuine change-for-the-better when I see it.

Christi: Board wise Manda didn't do anything, but you should have seen her on IRC. Considering how she acted against a few people in there, at least IIRC. I doubt she would be around for long on the board with the temper she had...

Besides, the staff wan't to keep permaban as a permaban right? Unless I got something wrong...

How long ago? Very recent, or like a year ago?

And I thought IRC and board were separate places. I remember people who were banned got a clean slate after the new start.

I know, but that was partly a personal statement about that she wouldn't be around for long on the board anyway... She didn't get banned on the board becuse of IRC.

It happened a few months ago, november even.

Ooooh, here we go again.
Okay, first of all. Any personal attacks will be punished. Lay off the Trapster bullshit for one.

[12:03am] <&Yiffy Kitten> Emuz: It isnt hungry for power. If I were contacted ahead of time and told "We're going to demote you for inactivity"
[12:03am] <&Yiffy Kitten> I probably would have said "Alright, I plan on coming back shortly, can you reconsider?"
Oh, so being inactive for 4months (yes you can deduct 1 month for internet being down, still is alot) and knowing that a staff reconstruct is going to happen isn't enough clues for you to like... already say that? Or even just expect it?

[12:01am] <&Yiffy Kitten> I KNOW you and Jizuko dont like me
Completely wrong, I had nothing against you before .. this episode.

[11:05pm] <&Yiffy Kitten> Toxic: Shut up. Either you're using a bullshit excuse or you don't know Acmlm for shit
[11:05pm] <&Yiffy Kitten> Acmlm doesnt say SHIT, EVER
EVERYONE is demoted and Acmlm promotes people as HE sees fit.

I'd classify that as contradicting yourself.

We did NOT eliminate anyone who didn't think like us. We reached a consensus, something that rarely happens in staff. Maybe that's why people are so surprised at the first swift decision every to come from staff?
We had the most active staff in that committee. Of course they didn't face a real threat of being demoted, they were active. Or they wouldn't have been there at all. If we would've waited for all staff to have a say, nothing would've happened. As for not having just admins, I kinda like the mix, it gives viewpoints from both local, full and admin positions. That way, admins can even be demoted. Oh, and what "none of their "friends" were demoted"? Do you keep a list or something Yiffy Kitten? Of what friends I have? Or what friends Colleen have? I don't think so. I barely know what friends I have. I considered you a friend, but apparantly you're not.

"but telling someone they're wrong and showing why is almost certian to piss them off."
Hahaha, I fully agree

Yiffy Kitten24: That was CHRISTI. Even SHE stuck up for you
Asuka Tragically:
Asuka Tragically: I only got bored that day
Asuka Tragically: I had nothing to do
Asuka Tragically: I've been really sick lately
Asuka Tragically: Bradley was at school, and I was bored
Asuka Tragically: so I went there and saw phil's suikoden IV thread and I have it sooo yeah
Asuka Tragically: and I didn't post too much after that date
Asuka Tragically: and they got scared XD
Yiffy Kitten24: lol
Yiffy Kitten24: I saw the discussion. Anya, Colleen, and TJ were TOTALLY and UNJUSTLY biased against you
Asuka Tragically:
Yiffy Kitten24: I was still an admin when I was reading that thread
Asuka Tragically: They always have been
Asuka Tragically: Everyone should know that.
Yiffy Kitten24: I wanted to post how full of shit they were but I think I stayed out of it.
Asuka Tragically: I'm always made to look bad by those three
Asuka Tragically: and people just assume it to be true, since it's 3 against 1.

I wish I could show some of those posts in that thread now. Too bad I dont have it cached anymore :/

I guess you missed all of Jiz's post, so I quoted his entire post. Maybe in a different color will help.

I have absolutely no clue whatsoever what went on with Manda. The only thing I've heard - and read a bit on, on the old board - was that she made up stuff about her and Hiryuu and didn't admit to making it up. Again, I've tried to stay out of those discussions, because I really have no idea on what was going on, but if someone made up stuff about me and kept denying them being lies, I wouldn't exactly be happy either.

No matter which way you look at it...Manda was bad news. I don't give two shits about the Hiryuu-Manda-Anya hate fest that went on. I have, from my own experience, found her to be an impersonable and self-absorbed person who willing maipulates people.

Spam Toxic. BAD SPAM. *kick*

Yes, I READ the post. Want me to start tearing it apart? I was going to try to not be an ass today. But, if you want it thus, I shall begin...


Oh, so being inactive for 4months (yes you can deduct 1 month for internet being down, still is alot) and knowing that a staff reconstruct is going to happen isn't enough clues for you to like... already say that? Or even just expect it?
41 posts in the last 4 months. There were THREE linked to that were the 11 posts in question (11 in 3, not 4 months). That was originally a typo on Jesper's behalf that I merely copied w/o noticing. In other words, yes, I had a month or so without posting much BEFORE I MOVED (VERY hectic time packing, etc), and a month and a half or so AFTER I moved (no internet, and a LOT of unpacking). I'm sorry that my relocating was such an inconvenience to the board.

41 posts in the last 4 months? What's up with that? You mean those 30 or so posts in all these bitching threads?

[9:30pm] <@Toxic> any objections to severus/admires sex being bumped down
[9:31pm] <@Kasumi> No objections
Yay, Way to grab a quote out of context Yiffy Kitten. Real smart there. And I believe that kills half of your post.

As I've stated a billion of times, me suggesting someone for demotion is not dependant on how much I like them it's how much or well they do in staff.

Saying or talking usually translates to not doing shit on this board.

Kiss and make up, Swedes?~ more <3 less h8~ as Krel says

Perhaps if you had asked why I was so inactive I would have been able to say "I moved the week before Thanksgiving and STILL have boxes to unpack even now." It may have kept me on staff, it may not have. But just... in the future, before you demote people, ask them what's up first, give them a notice (as in a PM), and when you DO have chats to reorganize staff, make more active staff members attend. Especially ones who may not always agree - like Phil, or Rydain, or BMF.

I'm ready to "kiss and make up".

I'm not sure how well a "invite (all | all active) staff and then tell them we'll have to get down in numbers" approach would work. That, if anything, would be about saving your own ass, and I'm pretty sure it'd end up worse than this when it's all done - if it ever gets done. I'm more in favor of the demote everyone and let Emuz and Acmlm do everything, because it's more in tune with how the board -should- work.

I think everyone agrees that this is not a particularly good example of a perfect staff reconstruction, but I also think everyone agree with the fact that there's no such thing as a perfect staff reconstruction. Someone's bound to get upset about getting demoted, or getting demoted too far, or not getting promoted. Someone's bound to think it should be done differently.

If we do end up using the same concept the next time around, I'd say including about 10 to 15 regulars that have at some point been considered for staff and letting them offer their opinions too. There's just no other way to do it completely fairly. (We weren't out to do it completely fairly either from what I've gathered. We were just out to remove people that didn't really contribute that much.)

I agree 100% with that idea. I can't see any problems whatsoever with that method of reconstruction.

A quick question by someone on the outside of the ring of importaint gentlemen(admin, mod, or otherwise): Is it too late to redo the staff again, after all this? If it is supported by people and we aren't in a war about things anymore(As seen by people talking abit lighter, and kissing and making out type stuff) it wouldn't be too bad would it? Though it would be dissapointing to some who got a higher status if anyone did, but I don't know who got upped or downed besides who was discussed in here.

I would like to hope that all sides would agree to stop arguing if we followed Jesper's idea to demote everyone and let Acmlm & Emuz rebuild the staff themselves. I would like to hope that all parties involved can agree this would be the fairest method that is actually practical.
