I'd rather hear more about Benji and his shortcomings, compwhizii. No offense.
damn comp, I could have written a four page essay in the time it took you to write that.
Oh there we go, he's no longer invis.
[QUOTE=compwhizii;28315122]I'm posting what I have now, so I'll just continue building it as people address issues that come up afterward.
[release]This thread is moving at a pretty quick rate so this reply may seem out of place by the time I finish it. I hope you take the time to read this whole post, I took quite a long time typing it.
The first thing I'd like to address is I'm glad PacV2 is sharing his knowledge of the behind the scenes at Facepunch however I'm left to question it's validity. Accusations that there is some master plan by some mods is quite serious, and in my opinion very incorrect. [b]Nobody is top dog on the mod team[/b]. I don't see how some people think that's the case, from my view from posts in the mod forum and moderation interactions on the forum. The only person with authority above the rest is garry.
The mod recruits were chosen not by one mod but through discussion in the mod forum. Any moderator that had a problem with a candidate could of raised their concern. And to that, things aren't completely settled. Things can still change, these new mods are not irremovable. If they don't do a good job then garry and the mod team will take care of it.
[h2]Apologies[/h2]
I do need to apologize for what I've done in my time here, because I've really done some dumb shit.
First of all I'd like to apologize to everyone in the GMF for how that situation was handled. That was completely pathetic of me to go to those image hosts and file takedown notices for the images. I really wish I realized that only made things worse.
I'd also like to apologize for the instance of hard deleting posts in the GMF. Also a bad response to an already bad situation.
[h2]Q&A[/h2]
According to garry there was never an issue with me moderating, so if Hezzy had issue to with it he should have taken it up with garry. What really dissuaded me to do anything was the fallout in the forums after the fact. You guys throwing a shit about it just tired me, it just wasn't worth the fight afterwards. If you ever see an issue with a ban or action I make please feel free to make contact with me.
And no, I don't want to go on a date with you john.
I really don't know what's going to happen. They'll probably be one or two more to go mod wise, but otherwise we'll stay strong. If plug is pulled on the website there will spinoffs and derivatives for sure. If I'm still around I will definitely try to get content for sure.
Yes, I've silent banned people. For personal reasons? Not quite. I do agree that some of my bans have been ridiculous and wrong, but not personal. I'm not disobeying garry, as those aren't his wishes.[/release]
It's not what I wanted it to be but I'm growing tired.
[b]Posts I read and have replies prepared for will be rated heart[/b][/QUOTE]
where's the part where you say "I will stop moderating the forums because that isn't my goddamn business because I was only assigned to be a [b]FORUM DEVELOPER[/b] (a shit one at that too)"?
[QUOTE=O'10er;28315229]Can someone post his draft? I get the feeling he deleted lots o shit[/QUOTE]

Also, everyone shoal take a moment to think about who the main force behind these last fews hours of posts in this thread are by. Are they really the people who know best for this Forum? A free-for-all, anything goes style of posting? This isn't what Facepunch started as, and is unfortunately what these individuals are driving it to. Is this really the future you want?
I'm still reading v10, slow down jesus
I only vaguely knew some mods here and this entire drama is above me, i liked TH89 though.
if he resigns facepunch wont be able to run!!
[QUOTE=Jimbomcb;28315226]FUCK SAKE he won't go on a date with me[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Zeke129;28315248]Yeah he deleted an attack on all of us

[h2]venn17
Silent banned because someone called you in the night and said the first username they saw when you asked who it was[/h2]
Explain that shit.
[QUOTE=Prismatex;28315243]From what I understand, his main objection to resignation is some proprietary server setup he's got going on and the lack of an immediately suitable replacement.[/QUOTE]
ill ask pawnstick next time i see him online......
a mile a minute holy fucking shit
[QUOTE=Zeke129;28315248]Yeah he deleted an attack on all of us

He hasn't learned his lesson at all.
I told him at the last minute to get rid of that paragraph - he would have posted it with it.
If he doesn't step down, this shit will literally tear Facepunch apart.
So basic summary everyones pissed off at compwhizzi again and the recent appointed moderators or something for some reason
is this correct? im just skimming the posts and thats the general vibe i get
[QUOTE=FoxMeister;28315251]I'd rather hear more about [b]Benji and his shortcomings[/b], [b]compwhizii[/b]. No offense.[/QUOTE]
Heh
hehe
:v:
He's admits he silentbans people, why is he allowed to have mod powers

I don't care about comp tbh
But benji has to go
[QUOTE=Zeke129;28315248]Yeah he deleted an attack on all of us

He might have moved that to chapter 2
[QUOTE=Jimbomcb;28315226]FUCK SAKE he won't go on a date with me[/QUOTE]
I'll date you :)
[QUOTE=BigHeaded B;28315273]ill ask pawnstick next time i see him online......[/QUOTE]
I think that's our best course of action - setting up a date for coding duties to be transferred to someone else and the servers to be changed over to be usable by someone other than compwhizii.
[QUOTE=O'10er;28315291]He's admits he silentbans people, why is he allowed to have mod powers[/QUOTE]
garry doesn't care that he is silent banning
[QUOTE=mr apple;28315153]comp, why do you constantly log under invisible. Hiding from something?[/QUOTE]
Occasionally I like to poke around in the GMF to see what's being posted, however people would see my username in the who's viewing box under the thread and cause a derail of the thread about the fact that I was looking at it. I've unset that now though.
[QUOTE=Prismatex;28315168]What is your response to the concerns of many users that you and Benji have become [i]de facto[/i] leaders of the forum in Hezzy's absence? Will you agree to an end to moderation activity?[/QUOTE]
I'd like to make it clear that this is not the case. Nobody on the mod team is the leaders or are acting as one (Let alone me or Benji), everyone is a team. The only person to make those definite decisions is garry.
[quote]Adnap Ralopib: is venn still banned?
compwhizii: no he got unbanned very soon after we cleared it up
compwhizii: and he was cool with it and understanding
Adnap Ralopib: cool
[/quote]
[QUOTE=mr apple;28315195]Compwhizzi, don't sugar coat it, you were silent banning for personal reasons.
Lets take a look at that guy that "called" you, you silent banned him.
The guy that made the compwhizzi threads, you silent banned him.
Yet, I won't get a response because don't have a backbone.[/QUOTE]
I guess I was in a way. The people posting those threads were very clearing breaking the rules however (Threads such as those were not tolerated at the time) and I shouldn't of acted on them.
That guy that "called" me? That was a bad knee-jerk reaction, and was a horrible decision. On the brighter side, I did resolve it with venn and he was very understanding (Again, thank you venn)
at least he fucking realises it was dumb as fuck to file takedown requests on every image host we used to host images making fun of him and try to get out dropboxes shut down.
Alright, thanks for clearing that up and at least admitted you were in the wrong.
wheres the th89 interview

That may be how it's supposed to be, but there's a strong perception among people that Benji is strongarming the rest of the mod team into going along with his demands. Can you confirm or deny this?
[editline]27th February 2011[/editline]
[QUOTE=DOG-GY;28315342]wheres the th89 interview[/QUOTE]
It's coming soon, from what I understand.

idk though pawnsticks been really hellbent on fixing up lamepunch since hezzy got demodded
he could do some good around here though
[QUOTE=Prismatex;28315343]Can you confirm or deny this?[/QUOTE]
what do you think of course he'll deny it
I'm going to bed.
I hope that I survive the Ban holocaust that may be looming.
