Thread: Miserable Users

Also, RE the Accountability account:

Group held accounts are not welcome on FA's forums. However, in a moment of epic fail that I will be beating myself up for a while, I jumped the gun and acted on the circumstantial evidence showing Accountability to be a multi-user account. Due to the usage of a proxy system, we are unable to verify that the Accountability account is actually multi-user, again, aside from said circumstantial evidence (personality shifts between posts and topics, different writing styles).

A future rule about using proxies on FAF is being considered, but until that point, there is nothing in the rules about using proxies - and when such a rule gets implimented, I'm going to heavily suggest that there be a grace period to allow for those who refuse to access FAF without a proxy service to list off goodbyes.

In addition, I'm suggesting (and implementing for myself as of right now) a new policy on banning on the forums, that requires another admin to agree/verify that the ban is needed. I fucked up, the above is how I fucked up - and this is how I'm going to try to make certain I don't fuck up like that again.

(PS: To those that care, feel free to add this as an example of me being a bad mod.)

I'm guessing it's just a fact of life. Fish swim, birds fly, I suck dicks, and the admins do stupid things.

More like hens.

I believe it was meant Carenath should apologize, not us.

I was asking Carenath to apologize. Not the users. Capish?

The This button seems to have it's own mind.

It is, but I wanted to make one I've never heard before. This is probably why I've never heard it. <:3c

I love it when admins get caught in the act, they try to hide in desperately and then when they know that all is lost, they try to act mature and 'come clean' and tell everyone.

It's like maple leaf meats, 'Yeah we're sorry about giving salmonella to your children, and we knew that meat was tainted, but we did it anyway and wouldn't have said anything if we didn't get caught.'

Ugh.

Could you make sense next time, dearest? Perhaps chickens or even flies would be better.

CARENATH IS JUST THE FALL GUY.

I recommend that the FA staff go to the Workplace Communication and Teamwork seminar at the municipal office soon.

And one of the biggest sources of FA's cancer caused all of this. Why am I not surprised?

Turtles lay eggs, it makes sense. :V

If you ask me, the fact that it has to be forced out of him already invalidates whatever apology he may or may not try to make.

Carenath should be forced to wear a Surgeon General's Warning wherever he goes.

Turtles lay eggs once a year. The admins seem to screw up once a day. :v

An individual turtle might not lay eggs often, but if you consider all turtles as a whole, it happens often. That's more or less what I meant. :V

Originally Posted by Xenke

To be fair, whenever my French professor asks us to write down what he's saying, I -always- write beaucoup as boku, thinking it's some other word I'm not remembering. French spelling is just downright terrible in regards to how their words are actually pronounced.

Carenth installed a "I don't like you" feature and shit hit the fan.
Oh and he changed the rules to retroactively ban someone.

wait what

So now what, are we going to get an apology from Carenath?

Will there be anything more than a "mistakes were made"/"nothing was illegal" copout?

Does he realize this was a bad idea?

Does terrible dubstep make things that look like dicks at least 300% better?

Pretty sure there's only one "yes" up there and here's your proof

You can report private messages, and chances are more than one mod will see the report
so do that
right now

Would you mind sharing? I have some stories of my own, but I figured I'd just get permabanned if I was the only one to bring up other stuff.

Agreed. That rule in itself does nothing to prevent spam/troll/discutable novelty accounts from being recreated over and over from existing proxies.
So far, the only purpose I can actually see is to implement yet another reason to silence people who are technically not breaking any rules.

Specifically, we are being hampered in our ability to see if Accountability is, indeed, a group account, because the account uses a proxy system. Further, if a banned user is attempting to evade a ban by using a proxy service, we would also have a hard time proving that it is indeed the same user.

It is less that we're doing this to target a specific user, so much as the case brought attention to a whole category of potential situations.

I'd say things that look like dicks make terrible dubstep at least 300% better, myself...

This is a pretty dumb rule to be considering. Some ISPs proxy all their outgoing connections. Some people want to use an anonymizer for pesonal reasons. You're going to give random users the finger for no good technical reason?

PS: when you say "a rule is being considered" and then say «when it is implemented», it sounds like the decision is already made. (you are a bad admin, part n)

Not to mention I went to a hotel, then came back home, then moved.

I picked up French spelling and pronunciation pretty quickly.

Couldn't retain the vocabulary for shit, though.

I'm just wondering how much involvement the other admins had in this. I doubt anyone else will willingly state they had a hand in it though. Oh well.

Oh hi again Dragoneer. Any comment this time?

If anyone needs help figuring out who did that to Clayton, think of what mod seems to use QQ a lot. There literally is only one person you should think of (although I won't say who so I'm free of responsibility :3c).

Where is my angry PM, Cerberus.

I feel left out.

Actually, the root of the problem appears (to me) to be this: You act before you think, instead of the other way around. (to be fair, this mindset appears to be endemic to the administration as a whole)
