Posted by Metal64 Long story... oh, history lessons.... Saw this post so i thought i'd pop in and fill in some details. The original issue was over a hack called "fuckers quest" if i remember right. It got submitted to RHDN, and then removed because it didnt change enough, i.e. some graphics glitched back to the originals and whatnot. That ticked the hacker off. Fast forward to about a couple years ago. A community of hackers has developed that specialized in vulgar and crass humor. These "badhackers" still submitted things to RHDN. RHDN operated under the guise that this type of thing was acceptable, but would often find excuses to remove them anyways. They allowed a small cadre of users on their RHDN forums to actively and consistently harass the badhackers, calling them Nazis, making false allegations, and various other nonsense. When the Denizens of Badhackery would defend themselves, they would get warnings and temp bans. It got to a point where whole threads, usernames, and hacks would be locked and deleted entirely. Mods would lock threads and attack users over thing as minor as political differences in threads for the DISCUSSION of politics. One of my favorite examples was a user being allowed to call a hack that was in the process of rearranging the level and boss AI in a game a "Nesticle grade" hack, because said user didnt like that the game now had a vulgar theme. If you said anything to the mods about the biases they circled the wagons, and attempting to talk to Nightcrawler, the sites owner, he straight up admitted he had no idea what was going on between the mods and the users. This all sort of came to a head with me... (or at least it does in my head) There had been multiple hacks submitted that did little more than change gender pronouns in many of the Legend of Zelda games. So i decided to pull out the old "i identify as an attack helicopter" meme and created "zelda: attack helicopter edition" where i replaced Link with the helicopter from "Bionic Commando", and replaced the opening text crawl with said meme. It was submitted, eventually accepted, and then removed for a lack of significant changes despite making MORE changes than the aforementioned "gender neutral" hacks. I protested, and afterward flagged the GN hacks, and several others that did not meet the criteria i was being held to. As this was going on, there were requests for a clarification of just what the rules were. Nightcrawler tantrummed, passed the buck to two members of the mod team, and locked the thread when THEY were asked to clarify. At that point i had written an article based on what had been going on, as the badhackers had kept a thread running on their forums documenting any time a bullshitty issue had happened with a user or a mod at RHDN. After the article was posted, i was banned officially for "abusing the submissions system" and unofficially (according to a moderator) for writing the article. Many of the other BHDN users were also banned. Sometimes for months old offenses that they'd already been warned for. One had a ban message so long it didn't even send the whole thing. One user is currently not "banned" but on permanent probation where he cannot make any post without approval, and has been told the only reason he isn't completely banned is it would cause too much trouble and they know it,as he's involved in a large amount of projects. So there you go. Thats the gist of it. To learn more please refer to the following pages, The first one was written a while ago, but the second set has archives of as much as possible so you are free to judge for yourself on the situation. http://www.baddesthacks.net/?p=2562 http://www.baddesthacks.net/?p=2484 http://www.baddesthacks.net/?p=2497 http://www.baddesthacks.net/?p=2517 http://www.baddesthacks.net/?p=2525 http://www.baddesthacks.net/?p=2530 http://www.baddesthacks.net/?p=2554 |
