What's the deal with...

First of all, I couldn't demote John even if I wanted (which I most certainly don't). Only Daniel can make that call, as you know. As for telling me to "do the right thing", that doesn't really help. I can't click my heels and say 'Spike Lee' to magic up a solution.

So why are you an admin again exactly?

Its part of a conspiracy to keep the site run by flat earthers organized by Archlord James to overthrow your sound, balanced, and fair moderation and lead us into a monopoly of power.  This monopoly will slowly be expanded to include oil, energy, various resource staples such as corn, Britcoms, matches, technology, etc. 

Ultimately we plan on overpowering the RE conspiracy and attempting to claim lands beyond Australia and the Antarctic as territory owned by the Flat Earth Society.   Once this phase is accomplished we will systematically capture Round Earthers and reeducate them in a secret facility in Bedford Level.   They will be put into slavery for a time suitable enough to pay for this reeducation as well as other rights they will gain from our liberation of their minds from the tyranny of the RE world order.  After this reasonably short service to their world they will be released to live new lives.  This service could include work relating to our monopoly, or the building of the Flat Earth colossus, the largest man made object in the history of the world, which will feature flat earth visionaries like myself, Rowbotham, levee and James.  It is here we will execute terrorists against our cause, including any who oppose us now.

Each year we will celebrate the execution of the terrorists and the freeing of our minds here in a world wide event.  Aerosmith will likely play if they aren't harmed in the reeducation. 

It will be able to be seen from the four corners of the world - the fifth being obstructed by a thick fog of ignorance.  This fog will be put in place so we can leave those damaged by the reeducation, or those in which the reeducation does not stick can live their lives out in peace and seclusion, never again to return to the rest of the world.

ALL HAIL ARCHLORD JAMES.

Of course now that he's told us, he's going to have to kill all of us.

Lurk moar, newfag. It's been stated several times. Shit, you were even around when he was made an admin.

I think you read that wrong. Try again.

tl;dr next

If you didn't read it you really missed out on learning the truth

Your 'intentions' are well known.

Wow really? Care to elaborate this thinly veiled snipe?

Basically, you're a troll =/

Quote from: Lord Wilmore on May 02, 2010, 07:34:36 AM

when banning someone one can either prevent them from posting (in which case they can still access their profile) or prevent them from logging in.

Act on underlined. I am only here to help.

Yes, but as as I said earlier, if we allow them to log in, they can still access their profiles and do all the things I've already spoken about.

With 233 results where the majority is "The Flat Earth Society" you really can't expect anyone to know exactly which one the mods look at.

Like I said, it's the first group to come up, has hundreds of members, has our logo, and links back to this forum on its main page. It's also regularly advertised/linked in the banner at the top of the forum. Really, anybody with the slightest bit of internet literacy should be able to find it with ease.

Look, I'm not trying to bitch at you when being banned. I've already stated that if I wanted to, I would've used a proxy(You don't ban all proxies FYI). Now please don't tell me what is "clear" that I'm doing, when you're obviously wrong ignoring my previous statements.

Hell, stop telling people what the fuck their intentions are.

Then why exactly do you need to know who is who? Maybe you were just missing the obvious, but it didn't seem that way.


My take on it is this: when you are banned, we state the reason for your ban. If you have a problem with whether or not the ban is justified, then ultimately you'll have to let the other mods review the decision. Believe me when I say that I look into them. Nothing other than a majority of mods disagreeing with the call made is going to see it overturned. If however you've got a problem because the ban seems totally bizarre (e.g. 'alternate account' when you know you don't have an alternate account), then you can get in touch via the facebook page and we'll look into it.


At the end of the day, I am not going to have a situation where banned members can come back here and send people all kinds of crap via the PM system.

So why are you an admin again exactly?

if people can access the site, they can access their profiles, and fill their signature and avatar with child porn or something similar. Before I was made an admin, a banned member with over 1,000 posts did exactly that, and I had to manually delete each post one at a time, because only admins can delete or alter profiles (at the time, Daniel was the only admin).

Basically, you're a troll =/

News to me. Any evidence to back up this wild allegation?

Yes, but as as I said earlier, if we allow them to log in...

In which case you need to...

With the proper settings, a moderator can do that job. Ask Daniel to make the changes and demote you, since you've basically admitted that you do nothing useful that requires the need of more administrators. When's the last time someone did the deed you were given admin rights to take care of again?

Since this thread has run it's course, i am going to go ahead and lock it now.

Is this where the money for the hoodies went?

You mean by banning them the way we currently do? No problem, way ahead of you.

With the proper settings, a moderator can do that job. Ask Daniel to make the changes and demote you, since you've basically admitted that you do nothing useful that requires the need of more administrators. When's the last time someone did the deed you were given admin rights to take care of again?

If Daniel had wanted to give all the mods the ability to adjust profiles, he would have. As for when Jack or I last had to do it, does it matter? The point is, if it does happen, we can deal with it. Daniel didn't log on between the end of March and the end of April; if something like this had happened during that time, nobody would have been able to deal with it.


You're acting as if all of this wasn't made clear when DK and I were made admins. At that time, it was made perfectly clear that we were mods in all but name, and were given admin powers just as precaution in case Daniel was absent and something came up.


This thread is going nowhere, so I'm locking it. Suggestion noted.
