Creepy

Ok, so now we have to stay "sufficiently far away" from crossing the line as it relates to each rule.

Just thought it'd be helpful, otherwise this thread - like many of its brethren - is trash. Originally Posted by John Boneher

It wasn't a violation of rule # 9 as far as I knew because he isn't a member.

Just too stupid for words.

AA - you try to help and keep things safe and get points for a non-rule.

AND, CZ has yet to explain why he did what he did, to insure WE mere mortals don't do it again.

BUT the good news is, I am FINALLY under Allison. YUMMMM

I cannot believe I'm doing this +1 Wakeup.

Well Zodiak? What have you got to say in defense of your actions?

The Zodiak vs. Wakeup match-up would be entertaining, but probably not going to happen. Staying away from the whole Rule #9 issue and getting back to the subject at hand, what the dude wrote Allison WAS creepy. HUGE red flag waving over this 'tard.

I'm hoping she puts a rewrite in the Provider Infoshare/Problem Client Reports area, which probably would have been more appropriate to begin with.

I believe we well-meaning providers are posting too much nebulous and argument-instigating stuff in the Security Matters and Alerts forums. In many cases, warnings would obtain more empathy and generate a more helpful (and private) response in the female access only threads. No offense meant, gentlemen, but ladies, please consider this: Sometimes the male viewpoint doesn't have any practical application to what's being reported, as it ONLY applies to providers, and we just end up with distracting drama.

It doesn't have to happen...all he has to do is put the post back up, reverse the points he gave to Allison, and say that he now understands how to enforce the rule...

Easy...

He can't hide from this...he's just hoping that his Staff boys back him up so he doesn't have to do anything...wrong guess...even if they choose to change the rule, it's not retroactive, he's STILL wrong and STILL has to own it...

In this rare, rare, rarerarerarerarerare, RARE case, I actually agree with you, Wakeup, as I understand the rule, anyway. (Olivia can slap me upside the head in mutual mortification.) However, isn't publicly pressuring a mod to change his mind likely to result in the opposite just because he's pissed at your dogmatic insistence?

Okay, would the OP mind "paraphrasing" the information in a way that "protects" the innocent (or in this case, the guilty)? I would personally like to know what was so creepy. Obviously, it is important enough to have been posted in a forum intended to keep us all safe.

The awesome thing about this tack is that he's absolutely loathe to agree with me and admit he's wrong, so he won't...and the more I prove he's wrong in public, the more he won't want to admit I'm right...which means he's sitting there, waiting on the other shoe to drop on his ass from the admins who will eventually get around to seeing the massive fuckup that he refused to correct on his own...BOOM goes the dynamite...

He's doing EXACTLY what I want him to do...the more he tries to ignore this, the worse it gets for him...especially when he's issued points to someone incorrectly...I could RTM this and bring it to everyone's attention, but why end it so soon? As I said...the longer it goes on, the more he ignores his mistake, the worse it gets...

I admit, I absolutely love playing the Great Game...it's so subtle, but the outcomes are so predictable...

Allison, check your points...

So, when's the original post going to be reinstated?

I don't think you start with points. (Correct me if I'm wrong someone.) I just think they "cite" you points. You're only allowed a certain number. Once you hit, you're banned. I believe all points expire after some time. Originally Posted by tia travels

Some points do not expire. The ones AA received probably have a six month life. The problem comes in if the infraction is not corrected the next time she makes a boo boo the points can escalate. The system on icky penalizes the repeat offenders.

Modtards often issue points and hide. Happens all the time. Happened to me in December and the modtard has never responded to my three PMs.

Sometimes moderators realize they fuck up and try to hide it when they fix it too...

So Zodiak, when is the original post going to be put back up?

Fuck, I need to check out the national area of the board more often
