( N_S )' ban
Fast forward a week or so, and we have a situation where, from our point of view, Scumbag was trolling CI pretty relentlessly, and was posting in the Gutter to boast about his trolling and encouraged others to do the same. This was a pretty big problem in our eyes, and was making the Gutter the exact thing it shouldn't be (a troll central). Rather than penalizing the entire Gutter for this kind of troublemaking, we were talking about what to do with Scumbag. Banning was indeed brought up as a possibility in the Global Lounge, but it was abandoned rather quickly. After discussion between the admins, we decided to just infract the posts in question.

Scumbag, however, had somehow heard
that we were discussing whether or not to ban him only that he was either told, or interpreted it as us scheming our way into getting him banned.
As I understand it (I could be wrong - hey, that is basically the point of this thread, I want to know this stuff), Scumbag decided to post the Curse information he'd been withholding because he thought he was about to get banned anyway. From our perspective, Scumbag was posting this as a retaliation to the two infractions I had just given him. This was a friggin big deal for the site (much bigger than the closure of a random club house, or honestly anything else that had happened to the site since January 2005), and probably the most significant leak ever, and because it was done in retaliatory fashion (again, the way we saw it), and because of all the trouble Scumbag had caused recently, we decided to go with the ban. There was maybe one staff member who disagreed, I think.
****: hasn't
changed much since...
GutterNS: seems far fetched, even by the standards of current staff
GutterNS: also, why you playing knight in shinning armor?
****: don't get me wrong, your ci rants border on the annoying, but its still a dick move to ban you essentially for disagreeing with staff policies
****: i don't condone it
****: but this is what we are at. you're a goner
GutterNS: well this first retroactive infraction gives some credence to your "theory", but what evidence do I have this is not coincidence?
****: here's the thing
****: the fact you decided to stop posting in the public sections of salvation foiled the initial plan
****: and they had to go for a backup
GutterNS: which is?
****: what do you mean?
GutterNS: the plan
****: just like with kijin and kpaca: having very strict standards and giving you infractions once there is an opening, even a rabbit hole one.
****: however, since you gave up on posting about the staff in CI
****: like you posted in the gutter after you
got angry after Nai
****: they are reviewing your most recent posts in order to give you the necessary 3 infraction points
****: and then cue to ban
GutterNS: ....
****: btw, its not going to stop at you. kpaca and kijin are next.
GutterNS: oh come the fuck on, you are trolling aain, no way they'd do that much, it would be too obvious
GutterNS: not to mention really sordid
****: do you really think all these things are a coincidence?
GutterNS: you expect me to believe this?
****: your suspension for reposting a joke, kijin and kpaca being put on a year probation for voting on a poll and thanking a post?
****: just you wait and see
****: the higher ups want to cut the dead wood at salvation
****: so that Curse has a nice and clean site once they assume operations
****: with no loose ends
****: i suspect people want to show they made a nice cleaning up tor the new owners
****: therefore every last one of you guys will be history by the end of the summer
****: don't tell me I didn't warned
you afterwards

Well, Sene, from this vantage point it looks like things are headed in the right direction.

I think everyone over here is pretty well calmed down, if that's what folks on your end are worried about. The gutter was always like an anthill. It's only dangerous when you kick it over.

Things will probably be pretty good with Curse running the show, and I think everyone over here is starting to feel like they can start relaxing and counting on their corner of the universe to run smoothly again. There'll always be hard feelings over what happened to them, but I don't think they're going to take it out on anyone who doesn't come looking for trouble.

Like wtf are you even going on about blackhead?

Sene comes here, admits he has fucked up this year, trys to have some serious dialogue and this thread turns into a spamfest, Dont get me wrong some of the shit in this thread is funny, but I dont think it would help your cause to get unbanned.
On I got yeah, I agree with you man and have said as much to some of my comrades
personally. I agree though, no need to try and drown out senes friendly sorta intentions with spam.

Also glad you didn't get mutant powers :p
I think this summarizes the thread quite nicely.

I used to think you were alright Sene but now I just think you are an ass kisser. No offence, I just think you try to please everyone too much. I'd like to see you say "Fuck you user X, I don't like anything about you".

It just feels fake from a human level

Yes. I'd just be walking along, glance at my computer, and be suddenly crippled by spontaneous ejaculation. At one point I banged my head on the stove! I knew my very life was in danger.

Is that your girlfriend in the GIF, Madding?

Because if it is, I really wonder why you spend all that time with Pinkfloyd's mom.
If someone finds my mum let me know. Happy Harkius is spending his time funding the search.

Knew you had some good in you man.

How it started

I think discussion slowly started back in April, when some guy whose name I don't remember contacted the admins and asked to have his account deleted. He'd joined the Gutter, hadn't posted, but felt harassed enough by what was said in there that he wanted to leave the site. This was hot on the heels of a long CI discussion about cyberbullying, and I guess we were like "wait a minute, isn't all of this cyberbullying?". A disproportionate amount of issues stemmed from the Gutter, considering the number of members there. So why are we keeping it, anyway? Almost all previous administrations had wanted to close it down, but didn't, presumably because they were afraid to do it. We wouldn't
be like that. We were going to get rid of the cancer, finally.

Yeah.

What a clusterfuck, @Sene I know its not as simple as unban and everyone just carrys on but its now pretty clear Scumbag should not have been banned in the first place, I hop the other Admin/Global (at the time) have been questioned as to which one of them is the leak.

Also Nai, why in the fuck did you charge GR with such an important piece of information, without telling any of the other staff ?

If some random member of the staff comes looking for trouble, it'll be up to Curse and admin to sort them out. Curse seems to have a pretty good idea how to do
customer service, judging from Boub, and I expect they're going to be hanging around for the long-term.
