I based my election as a mod explicitly on the fact that I would be issuing these bans and 74% of a much larger voting audience approved it. I am carrying through the will of the forum. Not doing so would be misuse of my position.
Anyway, they will happen on July 1st as promised.
What law are you referring to?
A ten year ban if this RFC passes.
Not against the rules of this forum. There’s no maximum ban length set in any rule on this site, or within the wording of your RFC. I know this because I tried to create this rule myself and got shot down.
This is why I’m telling you your wording is bad and it’s a mistake to move forward with it as is.
As otatop pointed out, the only thing your RFC currently does is allow inso to come back if he wants.
Then vote it down offer an alternative. Or vote it in and offer an amendment for RFC.
I am also quite fine with inso coming back and don’t think he should have been banned, at least not in the way that he was.
Me becoming a mod and banning multiple posters for ten years was the alternative I offered. I got 74% of the vote for my alternative, so here we are.
I suggest reading through this thread for context.
I posted in that thread.
It seems that the discord/nft site is having fun trolling UP. And they now have how many mods? is it 2 or 3?
So you’re aware of exactly how this came up? It was then approved by the community.
Nothing is more hilarious than watching edgelord NBZ who advocates (for someone else) violently murdering his political opponents get flustered when someone angleshoots his interpretation of a non-existent forum rule.
This is not happening at all. I have explicitly stated every step of the way what I would do. The community approved it. I will follow through on my promises. It’s what we all wish the Democrats would do.
If the community decides they want to create rules regarding a maximum length of ban a moderator may issue, and rules about how/when a permanent ban may be issued, I am in favor of all of that.
This RFC does not accomplish any of those things though.
You sure enjoyed helping to get Sven elected even though 90 percent of UP had no idea who he was. Good laughs all around. But anyway I voted for you solely due to your promise (on the other site because you refused to name names here) to ban CN, so please do proceed with haste.
Bans will be issued on July 1st. I don’t even have mod access yet.
The only help I provided Sven was nominating him per his request. I have honored every request anyone has ever made to be nominated as a mod since the mod nomination RFC passed. If people believed it was an issue, they had an opportunity to vote against it.
It’s just that the belly laughs over at the other site at the expense of UP about Sven’s election seems a little out of place for somebody so stridently trying to bring the UP community together. As is your “constitutional crisis” threat directed at somebody who is just trying to bring his RFC forward per the rules.
remember if you’re laughing at someone behind their back to always make public mention of it so you know it really got ‘em
Since you were never in the discord, you should probably check better with your sources. You have consistently been given a mischaracterized version of what discussion actually takes place there.
As for this RFC, I am just trying to help. This is an area that I wanted to have rules put in place. However I don’t believe in passing a poorly worded RFC that doesn’t accomplish any of what that poster claims to want. Me pointing that out helps identify the issue on the front end, rather than fighting about it later when people realize that this accomplished nothing.
You were not laughing with Sven about how he got elected mod when 90 percent of UP had no idea who he was?
Oh I absolutely found that hilarious. Is there anything wrong with finding that funny? Part of the issue here is way too many people taking themselves too seriously here rather than just having fun. Although I’d guess its less than 90% who don’t know who he is.
90 percent was your guess not mine.
It is very funny, I agree. It also is kind of trolling UP from another site. I’ve heard that behavior like that is disgusting. Especially if it was planned.
Was it a guess or something posted as a joke?
The overall point is you extrapolate that into some sort of devious plan, rather than just a person laughing at something funny happening.
And you held onto someone feeding you a one liner for almost two months as though it was some sort of gotcha.
All of that says more about you than it does about me.
