I nominate the first raid on the speakeasy: 9 May 2013 Synopsis: kpaca was posting in Psi speakeasy's thread and Psi cried to the speakeasy staff (T&T) so they contacted kpaca telling him to stop posting there because it was a private circlejerk. kpaca then asked if they would be allowed to make their own circlejerk too and Talore said" yeah go ahead" so people made the "mini-Gutter thread" in the speakeasy where it was stated that only people who sent an application pic would be eligible for posting. Kijin and kpaca followed discussing how Kijin was going "transatlantic" and how this was a lengthy and difficult process, as a jape to Psi's thread. The thread lasted less than 15min and was shut down with no explanations. So people made the thread for non-sequiturs in response and suddenly a notorious banned member and
internet scumbag posted an application pic in disguise. This caused a lot of distress and widespread panic among iridium, who decided to temporarily shut down registration to put an end to the vicious raid (confirmed by several of our members trying without success to register worldwide). This was a random situation that escalated due to the stupidity of iridium, since people were just humorously arguing the attitude of iridium, but then, purely as a jape I posted here in DtR's blathering threads that "the raid had been successful" so Teia who regularly scans the threads at DtR in search of internet terrorism posted in the mod lounge that these had been a "premeditated and coordinated raid". Once we started making fun of this in view of our leaks staff freaked out immediately and thought we were some kind of psychics/internet nefarious masterminds. Kijin coined the term "iridium" to refer to "M_TGS Staff" at the outset of this exact episode. There was extensive
mod lounge talk about banning kpaca and Kijin for yet again not breaking a single rule of the forums, but in the end, in their infinite leniency, iridium decided to just suspend them (again).
Condoms, I need you to stop posting in Hikari's thread of whatever. Your posting in there is making her feel uncomfortable. This is a formal mod request.
Wait, so just because we create a thread in the speakeasy means we can decide who gets to post there? Other posters in this thread are thanking my posts. This isnt clans or extendos, this is the speakeasy. This is ridiculous and surely not protocol.
Some tSpy threads have evolved to pretty much be extendos or clans. It is less formal but if someone intrudes in a user's thread and is unwelcome we will ask them to not post in that thread.
Not the first time we've done that.

Here is my registration pic:

I just looked at my
old mtgs profile. i had 20 friends but now i have 19.

Turns out that Talore, in a move of unprecedented nerdrage, unfriended my banned account!
"I am so internet mad at CK that I am unfriending his banned account on this site!"
lol, I think they temporarily disabled registration, I'm trying to register Alexei Leonov from Germany, france, seattle, and the site is telling me to try back latter.

These guys are a riot.
Can someone confirm this? its as
easy as logging out from mtgs, clicking on registering today and putting whatever mailadress you want (doesn't have to be real). does it tells you that your request couldn't be processed? or does it say it sent an email?
Your request could not be processed. Please try again later or with a different email address. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If the problem persists, please contact us at support@mtgsalvation.com.
they're acting like today's THE FINAL BATTLE when it's just a minor raid

Send an email to Curse saying that you tried to join but weren't allowed to, so went to another site instead (don't say this site)
Also don't you have like dozens of gimmicks by now, N_S? Don't they realize that you've already invaded the castle weeks ago?
Like, they think you're this shady internet manipulator but only assume your plans consist of short term gimmick kamikazes and troll posts here.[/quote:

btw, yesterday when they shut down registration, I was just about to register a third gimmick. I guess doing it now would be overusing the meme, but here is the photo I was going to post with my pirate/gypsy hat:

All that distress

Galspanic: kpaca has contacted me (of course ) and wants me to look at it. I've noticed a pattern lately with him and I am looking at that first with him, but I do want to know why it wasn't just infracted? It looks like you guys are "because Speakeasy" on it. That's fine, but I just want to make sure I understand why it's not being ticketed. Thanks!

EDIT: Just saw ER's post about how he'll be handling it.

Talore: It isn't just 'because Speakeasy.' We have social spaces here that are similar to extendo threads or clans. If someone is being disruptive in one of these social spaces and is unwelcome, we'll ask that person to not post in that thread, rather than having to wait until they do something that is clearly infractable. Funny kpaca brings that up, because that incident with Harkius was an instance where we asked Harkius to stop posting in that thread because he was disruptive to the group of friends, including kpaca.


His summary of the situation is insulting and dramatic. He has been asked to not post in a SINGLE thread, because the person who effectively 'owns' that thread has a long, bad history with kpaca and kpaca being in there (and subtly trolling over her being a trans woman) made her feel so uncomfortable that she would not post as long as he was in there.

And yeah, I would appreciate if ExpiredRascals handled this as he is familiar with how tSpy runs and is also familiar with the context of this situation and of the history between Hikari and Condoms.

Galspanic: Okay, so just for my own clarification.... he did not do anything infractable? I was under the impression that he did, but you wanted to avoid moderation because it's how the speakeasy works (my use of "because Speakeasy.").

Talore: Well what he was doing was trolling, but it is hard to prove. Misgendering Hikari, bringing up the trans issue she didn't want brought up, his past troubles with Hikari, etc. So if he can't post
in there, the problem is solved anyways.

Talore: Oh look, we've been raided. And Hikari wants her thread retired. I seriously can't handle this. Why do those assholes have to ruin everything?

Talore: They're all making fun of Hikari now for being a trans woman by parodying it with 'trans-atlantic'

Talore: I closed the thread, that cannot continue at the very least. I can't wait for anyone on that at least. Now watch them flood elsewhere...

EDIT: I retired Hikari's thread also because she did request for that to happen, and I didn't want the gutter posters to just try and troll her thread next.

Weebo: I'd say hitting Kijin and Condoms/kpaca for trolling is the bare minimum here. I'm not sure what other action we should be taking, because this is pretty hostile (if backhanded).

Talore: Gaea's Regent as well, for and for playing into their troll with the other post about Portugal.

IMO they should all be suspended with kijin and Condoms re-banned. That's the optimal scenario.

nTeia Rabishu: http://community.ist.utl.pt/viewtopic.p ... 906#p60906

This was a coordinated, premeditated raid.

Rai Kerensky: Sorry for butting in...but are we going to remove the gutter members from this forum? It is obvious they are not interested in bettering this forum, but rather having fun at our and other MtGS user's expense.

ExpiredRascals: @Rai: There is a GL discussion on the response. I'll also be getting involved as soon as I'm able (should be ~hour and a half)
So even after the vicious raid on the speakeasy Talore still hasn't blocked me on aim :iiam:
He might unfriend your banned account though
ok so galspanic sent me a PM on mtgs saying the specific use of the word raid -- and not the verbatum summary of the dialog in the mod lounge -- as a reason why people on staff are having a shit fit after i asked him why the fuck people are having a shit fit. so i just said n_s told me. ^_^
