I don't really want to pick sides, but a while ago in Rs2 General someone posted about the upcoming second vote for wildy which would be a 'no' vote. In his post, he stated something along the lines of "we should all DDoS the site so that people cannot vote 'no'".

I thought it was pretty obvious he was kidding, but you seemed to have banned him for 30 days anyway (if I remember correctly). I think that counts as a ban based on prediction, and I would argue it was an unfair ban. A simple mention of the possiblity of DDoSing shouldn't require such extreme action, be it precautionary or not.

I looked for the thread but couldn't find it anymore.

DDOS'ing isn't to be joked around about. Especially with this websites history of such. If anyone had a real problem they would have sent me a PM.

Received PM's about that ban = 0

Way to avoid the question. Can't you see through obvious jokes? And people don't always PM when they have a problem (me, for example).

I agree that it isn't to be joked about. He wasn't joking about it though: He was joking about the 'no' vote.

If he had been talking about DDoSing in a more serious context, or if him and another member had been discussing it in a thread I would fully support the ban; I just can't agree that some guy going "oh noez! wildy might not be coming back! quick lets ddos the site lulz" is reason enough to send him off for 30 days.

I realize I'm starting to go off topic and I apologize for this. I simply feel guilty for his ban considering you say that had I PM'd you you may have reconsidered the ban.

 

[FireZ]

You don't enforce the rules, you make your own rules. And I'm also sorry that you don't even seem to understand me in the least.

I am currently the only mod who is going * off site * and getting rid of phishers/keloggers/account recovery felons in mass. They are malicious people who prey on others, don't tell me you sympathize with them.

I'm not making my own rules, I just enforce them to the fullest. The rules have been like this for quite awhile.

I will take civil opinions on bans I hand out from anybody.

 

[Gurtaton]

Okay, this is the part where you imply you're always right and I'm wrong. You didn't even respond to the users I specified. If you're gonna dodge all my questions, just throw a simple 'Shut up,' at my face, I promise I won't mind.

And please, I don't care how much work you do off-site. You applied for this job, so don't go around asking others to praise you. I'm pointing out your mistakes and even kindly asked you to fix them before, but it appears you're the still old arrogant guy you were when you first got mod.

 

[FireZ]

The guy who was banned for writing a guide on how to steal? Did you read his dispute thread? There is your answer.

 

[Gurtaton]

I already read the dispute. How about you debate against my reasoning first?

User was banned for writing a guide on how to steal. Although it's possible he might scam one day, nothing is said about this in the rules. If you don't even state it there, how are the members supposed to know what they aren't supposed to do? A temporary ban, even if it's a few months, would have been far more appropriate.

 

[FireZ]

We weren't banning him as much for the intention to scam (even though it was a part of that ban) as much as how morally wrong his guide was and the fact he wasnt welcomed here anymore.

4/4 Staff members all agreed with a permanent ban. He can also request a high pardon anytime he'd like.

Not going to read all your posts or FireZ's posts, but I feel like I wanna say something.


Yes... Obviously I'm ban evader so kudos to the mod who bans me for easy mod logs, for I'm making 1 post and logging out.

When FireZ first was here. Donated.. I was like oh great, another Fatih. When he got sectional, not knowing him at all, I figured it wouldn't last long. After recent time, and helping him rid this site of hackers/phishers/wrong doers etc... I realize what a great attribute to the community FireZ is, and truly a great mod. Like Skele has pointed out before.


FireZ answers tons of scam reports, which in my eyes from being a mod on different forums is probably one of the most aggravating things to do. Answers a lot of ban disputes. Of course there's stuff others may be excelling in above FireZ behind the scenes or stuff he may be doing, but by going off site and purposely trying to find users breaking rules is going above and beyond his needed effort and I truly commend him for his work.



PS- who ever banned gurtaton=mad-LOL

 

[FireZ]

Gratz guys and I am done here, send the rest to my PM box.

 

[Camels Dunger]

Gratz guys This should be good stuff.

-Didn't mean to make two posts, arghhh...

 

[Camels Dunger]

I dont vote for my friends just because they are my friends, I dont vote against my enemies just because they are my enemies ether.

I like to take everything into consideration and make a rational and logical decision to the best of my ability.

NEVER let your feelings get in the way of logical and rational decisions. I will be the first to banhammer any of my friends if they screw up and NOBODY on this website is close enough to me that I wouldn't hesitate to ban them if they messed up.

Good to know. I second your way of thinking, to be a mod you got to be strict.

I'm glad to see Nate on the staff team, and congratulations to the rest of you.

But what exactly does the "staff advisor" do?
