he didn't single out tiger at all |
Exactly, he didn't single ANYONE out...and as I recall, there was an issue raised about more than just this incident. I don't know what the other issues were or who they were with, but I read that specifically and I'm sure this was a culmination of different things that he decided to post about. Sure, maybe this incident (which to me seemed a simple misunderstanding and was an innocent action) is what brought about the proverbial final straw, but he didnt' post it solely about this incident or any one moderator. TWJ is known on this site for being fair, those trying to insult him should maybe stick around the site awhile before pointing their own fingers and raising a stink about what they don't seem to truly understand, themselves.
Sorry, smiley, not directed at you...just started off because I agreed with ya. |
There have been 2 deletion issues, Shifty's calls and this. TWJ handled the Shifty situation himself and I had already publicly stated that I deleted the other. This did call me out directly as Panda and Romy weren't involved. That's why I was so sore in the chat, I got caught in the crossfire. |

There was also the IRC logs getting posted that were deleted, but I wholeheartedly support that one. _________________ Said the masocist to the sadist, "Hurt me!"

As a layman who knew nothing about the other situations and had only read the complaint thread where someone stated there were 'several instances they messaged twj about'...it doesn't seem to call you out and thus isn't seen that way. I don't fault you at all for the thread deletion, for the record, but I also don't appreciate newer forum members coming in and singling out another admin who from what all of us have seen is pretty fair and even tempered. I wasn't in chat, etc. I don't chat, so whatever happens there is null and void since I only concern myself with the fora. To me, the thread deletion thread was nothing to raise a stink over, once we knew what happened, however there seem to be other members here who have 'issues' with other things and have messaged twj about those things previous to this incident. _________________

Now where is my Clue in front of a brick wall pic?
And, Tiger...if someone had made a thread with your name calling you out in such a way as this one, I would have stated similar defenses for you. I consider such an act uncalled for, please don't think I am trying to state things against you for you always seem friendly and fair to me. _________________

I have accused no one of gamejacking. Many people on this forum however have. Some have accused those who provided valid information in regards to this game, and some others have accused those discussing real information. All in all, it was distracting and needed to be dealt with. In all cases, the request to delete these topics or individual posts came from the PM behind OA. We as mods have acted on behalf of that party.
In regards to the thread started by Killthesmiley that exposed OA's private message about the chat: I was asked to delete that in its entirety, not because it was a fake, but because later contributions to the thread did deteriorate due to the inclusion of invalid information.
I did not delete the post outright at first because I believed Smiley was playing the game. Although OpAhid might have disapproved of the sharing of the information, I had no doubt Tachyon would find it laughable. I believed it was relevant to the game; I made the call that it should stay because I didn't want to see a valid expression of game play on this forum curtailed.
The OA forums are still controlled by the its mods and administrators. The same policies that effect the rest of the LG15 site are in effect here. The OA PM has some say, especially when it comes to directing the game, but the final decision of what happens on the forums remains with its mods. I thought the full out deletion of smiley's post wasn't necessary, even if many of the posts it contained needed to be deleted for the good of the game. Unfortunately, due to the demands on my time in regards to preparing for the chat, I was not able to selectively sort through that thread as was needed. I appolgize to the OA forum moderators for not keeping you abreast of what was going on. If I had, this whole mess could have been avoided.
No mod or admin is guilty of gamejacking. We took actions that we all thought we're in the best interest of the game; remained true to the open nature of the LG 15 forums; and reflected the will of the OA PM. I am guilty of poor communication with the other mods for that I am heartly sorry. _________________ My LG15 Video Responses

Why is there this meta talk in "The I in APHID" forum? Can this be moved to General/Meta? |

Um, I've been around quite a while, thanks. I just gave up on the non-Op forums a long time ago. TWJ may not have named names, but there's only 2 mods on this forum that he could be referring to, and he did state that they were abusing their privileges. I think that's uncalled for. |
