Or this!

[brooklyneast05]

i am mad.

[Simba]

Aw, why are you mad?


Hey JC, you're a sensible mod. Would you like to come up to the plate and choose which mod we talk about first?

[The-March-Hare]

Actually, technically I did talk them one at a time, there just wasn't a big gap between the two, or a great difference in the message.

I have to say, if this were something which mattered as much to me as it seems to matter to you judging by the time and effort you put into it all, then I'd be ready to, you know, actually discuss it with whoever was willing, rather than screwing around waiting for people to follow my rules like it was all some kind of weird publicity stunt.

But yeah, this way's cool too, I guess. I'm going to bed now, anyway, so if the rest of staff will form an orderly queue and wait for Arjuna to call on them, I'll head to the back again and wallow in my guilt over breaking the rules by giving my responses too quickly.

Nighty-night.

*edit*
Lol, Tung, yeah. That was the kind of thing I had in mind.

[brooklyneast05]

i am pretty sensible i must admit that


but i don't think i qualify since i'm not really a real mod. besides, i'm still confused as to what's going on with this "game".

[Simba]

Good night James.










Don't ever wake up.

Oh, just pick a name, any name. It's not a difficult game to play.

nate?

[Simba]

YAY! Congratulations JC, you passed the preliminaries!

-__-




Ok, here we go.

I think Nate's situation is pretty obvious (most of it is in here), but why is it taking so long to figure out what to do with him? It shouldn't take this long.

[Tung]

Juna, I have brought up Nate's problem 3 months ago, and 2 months ago in moderator performances. So you're not the only person who called him out. I have several times in the past, but nobody ever listened to me. I never got a response. And they said they were still discussing it. My guess is nothing will happen, or another 3 months will occur.

JC, remember. What happened to that Probation period that never was discussed?

But yeah....I'm not so sure on what will happen with the rest of the people Juna called out.

Oh yeah, I remember that now, lmao. Wow, hecka slowpoke.

I guess they'll be more of a surprise. But let's stick to Nate for now.

[brooklyneast05]

nate isn't even here to my knowledge. since i don't think he's really been around for the upper staff to talk to in much depth about this, then they perhaps are waiting on that? i do not entirely know what the hold up is.

and yeah tung, i duno about that whole thing or what ever went down wiht it. we brought it up like over and over but i guess that's passed lol.

[Simba]

What is there for the upper staff to talk about with Nate though? Nate's activity is low, he talked trash backstage multiple times, and he member bashed multiple times. It should be a pretty easy decision.

[brooklyneast05]

you're asking the wrong person (if you're asking me that) since i don't have any jurisdiction on what's done with nate.

[Simba]

Well, looks like the right person has just walked in!

[libertie]

Hi Arjuna. Can we not talk about Nate right now? I'd prefer to talk about someone else.

[Simba]

Sure. Fine by me.
But we'll have to go over Nate eventually.


Choose one.

[libertie]

Dee.

[Simba]

Alrighty!

I like Dee, so Dee, if you happen to be passing over this thread (which you should be, since you're currently an admin), nothing personal, yeah? Just business.

I don't know what you are referring to, but members are not discussed Backstage. The only time that a member is brought up is when it's about hiring. So if you've seen Backstage, as you claim you have you must be mistaken.

Dee's made several mistakes recently, mishandled tight situations, and on top of that, she blatantly lied to the community just to cover up some people. I mean, I'm not even asking her to pulled off the staff team, I just don't believe she's fit for admin.

The lying part is a big no-no. Should be able to figure that out.

Also, she should be able to negotiate with people before acting on pure opinion.




I'll try and quote things if you guys need to see quotes. Just let me know.

[libertie]

What she said was absolutely justified in that case, though. I said the same thing, that members are not discussed backstage unless it has something to do with a warning or the potential of hiring them. In that case, it was MOTM voting.

Again, although I'm positive I said this, there was no need to have those screenshots blasted all over the forum. It could have just as easily been shared privately with an admin and we would have told you that it wasn't being ignored and that something would be done about it. Nevermind the fact that you somehow got backstage access and decided to take screenshots. Anyway. I just derailed slightly, but my point is that before you showed the screenshots there was no way for Dee to have known what you were talking about. I would have said the same thing, because all I knew was that you guys were fussing over something without any idea what it was.

No offense intended here, but I wonder if the only reason you think she mishandled a few situations is that you were involved. I kind of feel like Dee's being targeted unfairly right now, and I absolutely don't think she should be demoted.

What? I just provided a quote that concerned KC, not me.

Really? Nate's posts and comments haven't concerned you admins at all? If they did, that should've been an easy first place to look.

You were the one who chose to talk about her, lol.




There's also the way Dee handled cB World Language Day. She was quick to assume, didn't give the event a chance, deleted/closed a bunch of topics, and warned a bunch of people (for invalid reasons), all without trying to talk to the people involved to see what was going on.

[libertie]

Arjuna, I just said that his post wasn't overlooked. It certainly was something we were concerned about and we definitely were talking about it. However, from an outside perspective, if you guys were saying that something backstage pissed you off, how on earth are we supposed to know what that was? For all I knew it could've been something mixed in all the discussion about the pokespam.

I chose to talk about Dee first because I feel like out of the three her case is the most bizarre.

I question your motivations in all this, Arjuna, because it doesn't seem like the goal here is to help.

[Simba]

KC specifically mentioned Nate. That should've been a huge hint for where to start looking.

Maybe the admins aren't required to have any investigating skills, but gah dang.

I question your motivations in all this, Arjuna, because it doesn't seem like the goal here is to help.

If Dee had handled certain situations like she had more experience, then certain problems would not have to have been prolonged. Like the whole argument before cB World Language Day was dubbed official.

If admins are more carefully chosen, then these problems wouldn't happen.

Besides, why else would I be motivated? It's not like I don't like Dee, and I don't particularly like have to talk about things she's done wrong.

[libertie]

Thomas and Nate also didn't say anything about KC. They were reacting to the situation a month or so back when people were saying that no one should win SMOTM. It wasn't a comment about KC specifically, it was about the members in general and while I admit it was unwarranted, I still understand why Dee said what she did.

[rnicron]

how come if i were to say, right now, that i think james is the biggest f****t that ever strolled these forums, and gets ass raped every night for his own pure pleasure, i'd be warned in a heartbeat, but because nate is part of the higher ups, it takes longer to discuss? why should my punishment be based solely on what i said right then and there and me not have a chance to say that what i had posted was justified?

[libertie]

Demoted from staff is slightly different from a 10% warning level increase. =\
