krillin six dots is no longer a moderator at this website

[VashTheStampede]

krillin six dots, in the heat of an argument in "Chats n Spats", changed her signature to quote a post of Joseph Stalin's...a post from a Mod forum sub-forum.

This is leaking, and we have an extremely strict policy of not allowing it.

In accordance with rules that were set in stone over a half-year ago, and are posted in the Moderator Handbook, the administrators unanimously agreed that krillin six dots be removed as a moderator.

[~Lightning~]

I always thought KSD was a good mod, still leaking is(or so I have heard) a very serious business,.

[Dan]

I second that. When I visited the Voting Booth, her name didn't appear but that was strange because she wouldn't SPAM or anything. Even so, it must be quite serious.

Sad to see her go.

[Klowny]

'tis a shame...

But Oh, Goody! :clap:

I look forward to the return of the hard headed, jagged edged, rough hewn and defiant KSD of old. :)

[Demikain]

owned

Although I can't say I really care, I still think it's a really weak reason for demodding.

[Just Andrew]

Has KSD had past warnings? If so, then a de-mod seems more then neccessary...

[Demikain]

I doubt she has. It wasn't as though anything important was leaked, just stuff that somebody said in Chats 'n' Spats (sort of just a mod hangout, for those who don't know), which is why I think it's weak.

[Klowny]

I don't think KSD has been warned for anything in a few years now. I could be wrong.

A leak is a leak is a leak.

There was such a furor over this a year or so ago that everyone, including KSD, should well know that mod forum matter (even C 'n' P drivel) is barred from use in sigs.

(There may be circumstances where it's allowed under explicit, case by case permission.)

While I agree with Demikain that it's kind of a bogus rule, it's still a rule.

It's ALWAYS been this way. Hey, in the old days Al would have IP probably banned her ass. She just got caught up in the heat of the moment unfortunately...but as far as leaking goes it's never been a question of what will happen to you.

[VashTheStampede]

Also, in addition to the leaking...she had previously had her sig nuked. Considering the WAY she leaked, technically, she would have earned herself a second sig nuke, and thus would have been demodded for THAT. See: CrAzY!.

If you want to be an ass about it (and since I just woke up, why the f*ck not?) you could say we went easy on her by not killing her sig privileges for a while.

But she'll be the first to tell you that she doesn't care, so why should you?

[XZ]

hmm..so is she banned?? or only de-modded.

[VashTheStampede]

Only demodded. Reading is fundamental.

[XZ]

Only demodded. Reading is fundamental.
it didn't say banned..but just making sure?:)

[Montezuma]

Just De-Modded

Sorry, those above posts were made while I was posting this.

[Klowny]

Just De-ModdedLink please. :)

[Zackman]

Demodding = member who is not a mod now has information in the Mod forum. That is bad!

[Demikain]

Do you want them to erase her memory or something? Most things discussed in the mod forum get made public anyway.

[Montezuma]

Link please. :)
That would be leaking information. Oh, wait. I'm not a mod.

Please don't ban me!

would that mean it wouldnt be leaking for it was made public by her sig. if made public otherwise it would be leaking also right?

[Alice!]

would that mean it wouldnt be leaking for it was made public by her sig. if made public otherwise it would be leaking also right?She didn't have permission. It wasn't supposed to be made avalible to the public. The admins have to be strict about all leaking so there's no chance of leaking something important.

[shortkut]

faulty logic, look at the bold part to see where you made your mistake

it is leaking if it was not made public
she put it in her sig when it was not made public
by being in her sig, the quote is made public
by being public she can't get demodded

[Klowny]

Mod forum sh*t used to wind up in the recycle bin on occasion.

One time ~Mystic~ was getting her ass kicked in an argument so she closed her mod forum topic and moved it to the bin. :D

I don't think a mod can physically do that anymore.

I'd guess not...not after the Giant Flashing Attention Whore Incident, anyway.

[Klowny]

I'd guess not...not after the Giant Flashing Attention Whore Incident, anyway.Which Giant Flashing Attention Whore Incident? You really need to be more specific about something so ubiquitous.

[Aphrodite]

I'm guessing there was an Englishwoman involved...

[VashTheStampede]

Which Giant Flashing Attention Whore Incident? You really need to be more specific about something so ubiquitous.

I figured you'd remember since I'm fairly sure you were a mod at the time and it was a big deal.

A big deal where people were shouting power abuse at an admin, so I REALLY thought you'd remember...but I guess it happens so often, they kinda blur together.

An ex-admin and two ex-mods were the main parties, so I don't know if it would be considered leaking to tell you, and I don't want to contact another admin to make sure, because I am a lazy f*cker.

It involved a giant flashing picture and a moderator moving a mod forum thread to one of their forums so they could split the offending picture out.

[User]

Actually seems like a fair enough reason for the de-modding to me, but what was her first sig violation anyway?
What happened to ~Mystic~? I assumed shes still around somewhere, with another name change.

[Quagmire]

I think the whole thing is just some dumb rule. She didnt leak anything important, but oh well. Gamewinners sounds like the NFL [No Fun League]. But like Vash said she had her sig nuked before hand.

no, she hasn't been around for ages.

[Ants!]

Just why does every little thing that goes on in the mod forum have to be secret anyway? It's like you're secretly testing an alien spacecraft or something :paranoid:

[Demikain]

**** guys i told you someone would figure it out!

[shortkut]

no one will believe him except the tabloids

Not too many know that the Weekly World News has been published by the Moderators of GW since Late 2001...

[krillin six dots]

Oh jeez.. now there's a thread for this?

Vash, I know your opinion of me(as quite obviously shown in your posts here), and you know my opinion of you. But I don't think the world really cares about this news :P :P

Klown - I'm up for some thunderdome action but not if the threads get moved to PIMI. :)

[VashTheStampede]

Just followin' orders, as usual.

[Blue Phoenix]

As far as things go, the member does still have mod info that he/she can use after being demmodded, so to the restraint of my brain(I'm not a good thinker when I didn't get a good night's sleep), I ask, what would be the consequences of leaking after the demmoderation?

[krillin six dots]

I don't know. Is what klown said about mystic leaking? I wouldn't say so.

It's ALWAYS been this way. Hey, in the old days Al would have IP probably banned her ass.

Wrong. I completley disagree. After what happened with a certain member whom I won't name, the idea of him doing that is completley hypocritical.

[Klowny]

Klown - I'm up for some thunderdome action but not if the threads get moved to PIMI. :)Well, I've got little influence in there these days. You'll have to take it up with The Great Avenger. He comes in every other Monday to split topics. He's already been through today, so you'll have to cool your heels for a couple weeks. :)

Psh, that's the NCAA. You celebrate a big score, you get your ass penalized!!!

As such I really don't think there's much we can do if someone decides to give out all information once they've been demodded for leaking. But then again there isn't really much motivation to do that. Demodding them is not only a punishment but also doubles up as a 'damage limitation' strategy in a lot of cases, in that it essentially makes sure that the moderator in question won't leak anything else because they won't be able to get any such information in future.

Not that much of it is worth spewing to begin with... :sleepy:

Around the time I registered, the VMG (Veteran Moderator's Group) was just forming. The VMG forum had been created, and at the time, it wasn't restricted from any of the current moderators seeing it. Someone (I think it was Falcon) started a topic in there speculating on who and how many would ultimately be appointed to the VMG. It was a big topic and most of the mod crew eventually put their two cents in.

Anyway, I was only aware of all this because I ran across the topic in the recycle bin. Al himself, or one of the 3 smods at the the time must have moved it there.

Heh, Which is far more than you ever did.
Vengy's doing nothing has increased the domes input 3 fold.

ICE can remember checking in on the dome while you where the mod & the only 3 threads where sticky ones.
And it stayed that way untill you left.

[Klowny]

Your not being here for 95% of that time makes the value of your opinion even more dubiously suspect than when you were here every day.

PS. You just posted in there, yet you're trying to say the place isn't still dead? :chuckle:

[krillin six dots]

I wouldn't put it past them Crazie Jamie. I'm sceptical about saying absolutley anything looking at the people that have power at these forums nowdays.

I saw a lot of posts recently that I certainly would not have gotten away with saying. And I would have bet money on it.

I also thin power has gone to a few peoples heads, kinda sad really.

Err.. that should say "think".

Thats pretty truem KSD was a great mod, to bad it MIGHT be gone.
