Looks like things went to hell with the community mods

[I Love Money]

I had Internet problems for 5 minutes, once it was fixed I was suddenly IP banned from the forum. 2 weeks later and I'm back. Just noticed how sh-t went down. I need the details.

Kthxbye.

[Dipstik]

1shot finally crossed a line that Gree cared about... He spent about a week editing posts, banning people indiscriminately, and generally being a nuisance. He's no longer a mod, but no other penalty that we can see. Things are back to normal now, but thankfully we don't have 1shot as a mod anymore.

[namedud]

Hi mnju03. Or however you spell it.

[Dipstik]

Mnju hasn't been around in a long time. Nice try, though :)

[doctormojo]

Last I checked 1Shot still has mod privileges even though he is not listed as a mod anymore. It comes to the same thing, though, since it's his continued abuse of the mod powers that he still unfortunately has that make him so annoying, and not the simple fact of his mod title. That and the fact that he apparently legitimately thinks he is funny lol

It's a good example of what 1Shot was up to. Enjoy! ;)

Better late than never banning him but unless it's a permenant ban, it's pointless considering his actions

[Vile Lynn]

You locked it? Gee, thanks.

How about reverting all of the edits?
One of the player mods was reverting 1Shot's edits, but I think they got overwhelmed and quit since it was pointless while 1Shot still had mod permissions.

Said member acted like a maggot for an entire week and deserves to be named & shamed. And contacting any other Gree employee didn't prove the easiest of tasks when it was happening

1. After my ban was lifted I decided to read the CoC. I did not see anything about naming and shaming. I did, however, see that insulting others was listed under trolling. Can you please direct me to where I can find some info about naming and shaming so I can educate myself on the topic for future reference?

2. During the whole 1shot fiasco several people (including myself) tried contacting Sirius so he could put a stop to it. Unfortunately, he was not taking any PMs which made it difficult to reach him.

On offense, but this situation was avery unusual exception, and should probably be handled by Sirius.

On the topic of "naming and shaming," I don't think any of the people currently in charge of the forum have any idea what that phrase means. The original rule was that you were not allowed to call out a particular person or syndicate as a cheater/glitcher on the forum if you discovered him. You were required to report and move on (RAMO) due to the number of complaints received against legitimate players, usually huge gold spenders. That practice was called "naming and shaming." It was sort of vigilante justice.

Somehow that phrase, and hence the rule, has been broadened to cover any sort of conduct that makes someone look stupid, even if they don't need the help. I've been warned/infracted for "naming and shaming" for quoting a ridiculous post without even making a comment on it. This rule has no meaning anymore. If the rule is going to be "don't say anything that some mod doesn't like, fine... It's their forum and they can ruin it if they like. Just don't expect it to actually guide anyone's behavior.

There you go.

lol! Sooooo now you want to follow guidelines? Where were you when 1Shot was violating every rule in the book? Hmm? Yeah. That's what I thought.

I don't know why you are trying to blame me for others mistakes. Sirus was informed of what was going on the same day it happened. Don't be so quick to point fingers, its quite rude.

Enough said
Not one of you openly came on here and asked him to stop or said it was wrong. For it to go on as long as it did speaks volumes for what is really thought about us

That would violate the forum code of conduct if he was to deal with it publicly. I would assume that they were messaging via other forms of communication which is how it is supposed to be handled.

What planet you on? A player seriously violated all the rules for over a week and you did nothing. So talking about naming and shaming, are you trying to blame Sirius as you point out he knew about it from day one and did nothing? You will have to ban yourself! Or get your pal 1sh*t to do it for you.

[Vile Lynn]

Maybe they can agree on another temp ban.

It is not Sirius job to moderate the forum and I am not shaming him. I can't tell Sirius what to do, only inform him. Forum moderators could not edit profiles/change access/ban anyone on the same access level or higher. Which is why I informed Sirius.

It actually looks like the Bronx or Compton and the guy clearly has a strong New York accent. The reason the cars appear to be driving on the left side of the road (the correct way), is all down to special effects in this no money spared production.

I suspect it's one of Red BD's many grandchildren, unfortunately left to roam the mean streets while looking for a decent bidet.
