MeLKoR posted:could you please explain this probation As for how on-topic this needs to be, that's up to Beer and Beet. It's pretty crew-chatty and I don't think that'll change or see a reason it needs to. I handed out some sixers to try and move modding discussion to QCS, but that was a losing battle and I'm back here talking about it so eh, whatever. You can't really make people drop a topic when it's contentious, and it was silly to try.

*ring ring* MEI LING: Hey Snake, what can I do for you? SAVE DO NOT SAVE SNAKE: I'm 99.999999% sure it's just bullshit from fyad meanies trying to ruin people's fun after they got GBS shut down. MEI LING: Remember, Snake, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man how to locate people through extensive NSA computer background checks to zero in their global position coordinates, and you'll make him laugh forever,and not look like a hosed up weirdo who has multiple paid forum accounts and a combined total word count about the fail rear end videogame to outdo the library of congress." SNAKE: Their pink forum is a retarded circlejerk even worse than this one and they have been hilariously insecure about every fyad-lite. *Beep*

FactsAreUseless posted:He was shitposting a bunch while making fun of someone for being mad about shitposting. So I probated him for shitposting. That's all. Okay I'ma stop bitching about you now, judging from the QCS thread I bet you get a whole bunch of legit abuse and I don't really judge you for not wanting to mod the thread back in games I think a lot of the thread's reaction to the Derek ban is in relation to the stuff he has to put up with, he's got an entire subreddit with dozens of creepy stalkers posting abuse about him all day I don't mean it excuses many of his actions, but people accuse Derek of harassment everyday and they're like 99% full of poo poo

Good storytelling requires that the protagonists be at their lowest point before the start of the final act and I'm going to assume that that's what Dereks banning represents in the grand scheme of the Star Citizen Insanity story arc. Either that or this is just the end of season special that blue-balls you for a year until the start of the next series gently caress you Rick and Morty.

FWIW MeLKoR I don't think either Beer or I are really interested in going all jackboot to keep this place "on topic", or at least I know I'm certainly not. If you've posted "Tane" a dozen or more posts in a row I'm probably gonna throw you a Sixer, but honestly this place is only ever on topic when there's a current CIG fuckup going on, and sort of functions like a general chat the rest of the time and I think that's both cool and good.

Riffing off this kind of thing is fine. Maybe not the most creative idea, but fine. And it would actually be a fun thing to do for anything other than Star Citizen. Trouble is CIG is not even close to having what anyone could charitably call a complete game. Yet they're allocating artists and coders who should be doing real work to this timewasting nonsense that purely serves as marketing to raise more money. Also to have such a blatant copy of the logo of a real TV show is extremely loving shaky ground when you're trying to sell spaceship jpegs. Maybe it's considered safe as it's a parody, but if someone at Amazon sees it they could still find themselves on the receiving end of a nasty letter. get a loving refund it dont matter fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Nov 21, 2016 |

But making mods out of popularity posters has never been a good thing. Marching Powder might not be the Mod you all want, but he is the Mod you all need. And Now I should probate myself for posting a meme.

FactsAreUseless posted:I, as an admin, felt he was a bad mod, because I had to keep declining month-long probations he requested on people who poked fun at him. May I respectfully request some proof of this? Derek vehemently denies this. I honestly don't doubt what you're saying at all, based on his previous fascist moderation on his own forums and Steam discussion boards for his games, etc. However there is a disconnect here, and someone is obviously lying. If you can demonstrate that Derek was constantly trying to run this thread as a mini-Hitler unbeknownst to us I think that would genuinely assuage some of the hurt feelings about him being deposed.

In fairness Derek did sometimes hand out bans for people who were being truly obnoxious/white-noise so I feel that he took the view that he'd rather keep someone around so that he could argue with them rather than just press the delete button and posting in his own personal hate-reddit does speak to that. On the other hand I think he's banned half the world population from his twitter so idk lol D1E posted:However there is a disconnect here, and someone is obviously lying. If you can demonstrate that Derek was constantly trying to run this thread as a mini-Hitler unbeknownst to us I think that would genuinely assuage some of the hurt feelings about him being deposed. Yeah, this. Not that my feelings are hurt but it'd be nice to get a view on who is being the Chris in this situation. If it's Derek then there's a dumb Nishealjkada quote gently caress it I'm not even going to try and google for the right name. Nickiepoo fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Nov 21, 2016 |

You can't moderate a forum that is basically about you, especially when it's one part of a much larger forum. That's not a problem. That's half the hilarity.
