They had a secret meeting over on nomnoms, and everyone there said they didn’t do it. Case closed.
It’d be a little more believable if you didn’t try to intimidate me by coincidentally drop my first name repeatedly the past few days. It’s not going to work. It’s plainly obvious that you’re the problem here, and your issue is that you’re worried the way you’re bullying people is going to be just a little limited.
It’s pathetic honestly. Touch grass.

The most recent update on site funding was
We had 37 months of funding in January so assuming all Patrons stopped (they didn’t) Unstuck runs out of money in about 2.5 years.
You don’t care about this and your post was obviously running with Sabo’s false accusation that the mods and admins are trying to steal that money.

Maybe Jal is considering forwarding his application for UP Admin?
I trust my online friends. That you don’t trust yours is simply a function of the characters of posters at Slow Pony Effluence, including yourself.
Behold, the trust:

Are you simple?
I’ve barely chatted with CS04 so wouldn’t call him a friend.
Everyone replying to any Jal post is genuinely out of your mind. It’s the most extreme masochism I’ve ever seen and that is saying something.

Stop harassing UP staff. This is your only warning.

UP recently voted to end votes. So it’s up to you as monarch to name a replacement.

I’m not harassing anyone. Are you under the impression that we still have binding community votes? This is a genuine question.
It sucks that it’s come to this, but we’ve shown that these final warnings mean essentially nothing and that, if there is action taken, a revolt from a minority of users will lead to the action being reversed.

Why wouldn’t we? Sabo insulted my intelligence for thinking his poll was about voting.

I don’t believe that UP voted to end votes. As evidence, I just recently initiated a vote about whether CW should retain moderator status.
If you’re referring to the other thread, I believe that there are some actions/decisions that will never and should never be subject to a vote (e.g., whether it is allowable to post inline porn, whether to abide by the host’s terms of service). At least as long as I am the admin with my name attached to the site.
I can’t force someone else to be the admin/treasurer. If you want to identify someone or volunteer for it, that’s great!
it might be helpful to outline the specific responsibilities and all the “need to know” that would come with this, if you’re really interested in moving on (which would suck btw, imo). I’m pretty sure zik did it a while back but a quick try at the search didn’t reveal anything. would suggest putting it in the treasury thread too
Hey if we could not give payment and personal info access to people who have participated in doxxing or who argued it’s fine that’d be great.
Treasurer is autopilot. I have the monthly DigitalOcean invoice on autopay so I literally don’t ever think about it. Ideally, periodically report on the money coming in via Patreon and Paypal, and the cumulative net balance either owed to or owed from the treasurer. For reasons discussed here, the current status is that I owe the site. (I haven’t updated the exact amount, but there haven’t been any paypal donations, so that means I owe the site roughly the $2,208 from January minus the 7 months of payments at ~$70 each.)
Edit: @CaffeineNeeded raises a really important point that I forgot about. The treasurer can see the history of all Patreon contributors, which in many cases includes names and emails.
Edit2: Also provide your name and personal information to Patreon if you ever hope to withdraw money to get reimbursed.
Admin is more complicated, particularly when people start raising concerns to the admin that users are violating terms of service and there are threats of lawsuits. Rather than giving you my subjective view of this, I’ll point to a relevant discussion from 2 years ago:
In short: the treasurer role needs someone who can be trusted to manage the funds and to keep all records completely confidential. The admin role ideally would have technical capabilities (I don’t) and also have the judgment to simultaneously let the mods do the moderator work while considering cases where users may be subject to violations of the terms of service. And also remember that the admin can read all unencrypted PMs, so again it’s a role that comes with a lot of trust.
That’s the best summary I can give on short notice, and I’d like to focus on work and family stuff for the rest of the day, but I can respond to more questions if they come up.

Thanks, spider. I don’t see a need for a new treasurer or admin. If folks want to volunteer for a turn I think that should be encouraged, but these two roles are a little less likely to get volunteers than moderator since they involve tying personal information to things in some way.
