sgross = asshole and personly would not give a fuck if he was banned.
jonjon = can be anoying but not as much as sgross so do not care.
snap = i know off him, but not enouth to say ban him.

Much of the damage was mitigated by quick action, and great communication (much of the team has each other's mobile numbers), we could have been a lot worse off.

Slayer']Hey swat, how exactly did you guys all find out so quickly if most of you were asleep when it happened?
I was around, but it's long been a standing joke that I either never sleep or I'm actually a particularly clever AIM bot (besides which, I'm on PST so I'm pretty much on the tail-end of the time zones). Also, they had tried out their newfound powers a few hours before they actually took serious action, which left some irregularities: lucky noticed in the late afternoon (my time) that somehow sgoss had gotten unbanned and then was rebanned by Snap (who was listed as only a tester and didn't have access for that). That meant that a couple of us who would otherwise be doing other things were sitting in the admin channel trying to figure out what was going on.

I wasn't asleep, I had a flight back from seattle that got in at 12:30am. By the time I got back to my house it was 2:00 AM and I had shit to do for work that kept me up all night. In the end I never got any of the work done (to be fair, I was trying to get fired), because of the situation. Some of the euro's were up, as well as some of the US night owls.

I was up as well, on PST so it wasn't terribly late yet. I think I stayed up until about 1:00am or so just to catch everything I could. I stayed up long enough to see the domain get switched. As a sidenote... The entertainment value and the gravity of the situation was so high that I didn't do anything else the whole night. Just sorta sat and watched the whole thing unfold... From the log irregularities all the way to the changing of the DNS and VB licence. I'm still sorta in disbelief about the whole thing.

The best part was when the admin staff (lucky et.all), during the time they were not controlling the faforums, started condoning the posting on the firearms forums of pornography (bestiality, gay/lesbian, group, regular), racism, and the gratuitous use of offensive language.

I dare you to find a single place where I condoned it. It may have been tacitly condoned by our lack of action on the issue, but as scav mentions... We weren't in control of the boards at that point. The only questionable behavior I took part in was banning the usurpers.

Your actions as a group reflect very poorly upon yourselves. You're an intelligent individual scavenger, I'm certain that you can recognise this fact. An admin staff composed of individuals who have a history of promoting the spread of offensive content would seem to be an unacceptable choice for a message board which explicitly prohibits these actions.

I do believe that my response was along the lines of "we will not punish people for their actions while the FA forums are not under our control." This is not a new policy by any stretch: we do not punish people for racism on irc, or spamming on govteen, or what have you because we do not control those. Refusing to uphold our standards on boards we no longer controlled is hardly a great leap from that. "History of promoting" indeed.
Also, for the third time, there was no "admin staff composed of individuals ...promoting the spread of offensive content." Most of us were nothing more than private citizens at that point with about the same authority to enforce our will on the FA forums as you have to enforce yours here.
I have a confession to make, though. In my capacity as a private netizen, I used a secondary account to evade a ban. I'm very sorry.

This seems very simlar to a number of conversations we have had in the past ScAvenger001. I will be happy to search through mirc logs tonight in order to find anything which might the two of us might discuss and find of interest in relation to this topic. You're correct in stating that as private citizens you had no authority to enforce your will upon the Fa forums at that time, however as authority figures (specifically in the context that those who posted offensive matter on the boards during your lack off access saw you as the legitimate controllers of the fa forums) you should have morally opposed the spread of this offensive and prohibited matter. You as a group did not, which reflects very poorly upon your image as current moderators and administrators.

So what you are stating is that the policies of the fa forums, and those of these boards, are not worth supporting unless you are in control of them? This does not make sense, as you state that all users of these boards (past and present) are bound to follow these rules. The fact that control of the boards was taken from you is immaterial to your arguement, as your logic as stated in your above quoted passage reads that unless one is the administrator of a rule set one is under no moral obligation to follow rules which have been outlined to ensure a fair, comfortable and offensive content free environment for all users of a message board. Again this seems to reflect poorly upon the administrative group.

If I see a bunch of people going around town breaking windows and stealing TVs, I'm not going to go up to them and tell them to stop for much the same reason: it's not my job, and I do not have the authority to do so, this is why we have police.

The problem with that analogy is that those citizens who were breaking the windows and stealing tv's still saw you as the "police." And they have a long history of obeying the police.

There is no obligation other than that which an individual would feel to make a decision which reflects upon their character.

But if you want to argue morality, it's not hard to argue that it was in fact our duty to raise as much of a ruckus as possible.

Look at how the events unfolded from there. There was something important being said between the lines, and there's a difference between just not doing anything and telling people that they can do anything they want to because you don't care.
This is certainly something which should be noted.

so if I would say that people can do whatever they want on let's say the CS forum, then I'm an immoral person?

You should definately question your morals if by doing so you are implicitly promoting the spread of disturbing racist, vulgar or sexual content.

I don't see the immediate link between "doing whatever you want" and posting porn, for all I know it might as well mean "post an on topic message". It's still the decision of the person that is making the post. I cannot control what they do, and I certainly can't stop them, so why should I feel guilty about something what other people do?

Trolling as always Fuzz. Like you or anyone else actually cares whether or not the mods encouraged people to post porn, etc. I see no problem whatsoever with their response to being locked out of their own forums.

You are in a very poor position to judge what I, or anyone other than yourself "cares" about. The mod team themselves should find their response to events disturbing, as should anyone else who holds a position of responsiblity who has undermined their ability to act as a morally superior delegate entrusted to provide for the safety and comfort of a community.

I think the forums will survive this truly devastating event. Does it make you chuckle when you type this crap?

We're not morally superiour (at least I'm not) were just human too, so I don't see your point at all, and apparently most people here don't care either.

Safety and comfort? That's hilarious! :D
Well, anyway, I'll try to remember your criticism for the future. If someone ever breaks into my house and steals my stuff, I'll be sure to keep in mind that it would be evil of me to call him bad names or let him see dirty pictures and I certainly should not allow other people to do so. Btw, I assume you're spending similar amounts of time telling goos and company that what they did was, let's see, "immoral" and "undermined ... the safety and comfort of the community", yes?

I'm going to assume that you purposefully ignored the topic and theme of most of the posts in this thread in an effort to mitigate the damage the actions of the mod team caused to their image during recent events. You know very well that your reaction to events which occured was specifically tailored to promote the despicable display of immaturity you elicited from a large number of forum goers. You can hide behind analogies which inaccurately portray your actions, but you yourself should know better than to believe that you are faultless or that you were acting in good faith.

Yes, because "good faith" was certainly the order of the day, hmm?
Speaking of hiding, you can also do your best to hide behind your own attempts to spin this and put us in the worst possible light, but there's no way you can possibly put us in a worse light than your friends who decided to help themselves to what wasn't theirs. And speaking of purposeful ignorance, I notice that you've gone out of your way to not respond to any parts of my posts up to this point that put you in a less-than-ideal light. Let's not get into a blackness contest, Mr. Pot.

You misrepresent me Scavenger001. I am not trying to compare you in any way to others, I am merely drawing attention to the impropriety of your actions. I'm curious to learn where I have acted in a less than forthright and upstanding manner in this thread and I resent your insinuation that I cook using dirty utensils.

Oh, well, if all you're doing is drawing attention to an alleged impropriety, congrats, you've succeeded. Good day.
