A new beginning....

[Gamefreak]

Welcome one and all.  Many of you know me as Gamefreak.  I have been a fellow member of this site for some time now.  For the past year, I have served this site as a moderator.  And now, I am proud to be your new administrator.  My first act will be:

1.  Settle any outstanding bannings

2. Remove and appoint new mods.

[Mysterious F.]

Too describe it a little more step by step....

Step 1) Ban bgrugby (despite recurring arguments)

Step 2) Delete Rincewind's Account

Step 3) Replace me with MagmarFire as a mod

Step 4) Appoint new mod

Step 5) Deal with anything that occures during his adminship

Also, congradulations, Gamefreak, on becoming the new administrator. The orange stars fit you perfectly.

[Hi no Seijin]

One, yes, congrats.  Two, the stars are red.

[Mysterious F.]

Really, they seem to be more along the lines of an orange color to me....  

[JDog]

Congrats man, just cause I talk to you don't mean I'm gonna be a suck up, lol. Glad to here you got the admin job!

[Gamefreak]

Ok, after much consideration, I have come to the following conclusion on the bgrugby case.

Bgrugby's points, no matter how profound, still broke the rules.  And as strictly as he viewed the rules, I doubt he would want special treatment just for him.  So, to the dissapointment of some, I must ban bgrugby.  However, we shouldn't remember him for his brief period of innapropriate behavior.  We should remember him for his contributions to the site, and his diligent role as a mod.

Also, with mods, here are the following changes.

Whocares - To honor his last request, I will be removing Whocares from the moderator lineup.  And to honor the second part of his request, I will put MagmarFire in his place.

Zelda Veteran - I will ask him one last time if this is what he wants, but in the case that his decision still stands, I will be placing JQ(or whoever he is now) in his place.

Evilslayer - The few times I see Evilslayer around anymore, he really doesn't do his job.  So in that case, I will put Dr. Rabies in his place.

Darth Wyndisis - Even though he gets on rarely, and he has been getting on more commonly, he does his job, so I will be keeping Wyndisis on mod duty.

Gamefreak - Even though I'm the administrator now, another mod definitely won't hurt anything.  In that case, I am personally appointing Shikamaru Nara to my mod position.


I'm currently a little occupied at Boy's State until tomorrow, but be prepared for these changes sometime in the next week.

[Mysterious F.]

I knew you would appoint Shikamaru (you actually told me pretty much) as your replacement, and I thank you for changing mine to Maggy. Dr. Rabies is replacing Evilslayer? I have no objections, although I'm not sure what Evilslayer would think.

So, our new mod patrol already decided is:

MagmarFire, Shikamaru Nara, Dr. Rabies, and Darth Wyndisis.

[Hi no Seijin]

Two of the names likely to change.

[Mysterious F.]

And by that you basically mean....?  

Seriously, what does that even mean HNS?

[JDog]

Aren't you two kind of off topic their? I'm gonna miss rugby, he was a good person, I really think you guys should give him another chance.

[Mysterious F.]

Despite the popular demand over bgrugby, that is not reality. Whether or not his warnings were months ago or he was popular doesn't matter, the rules of banning is that as long as someone gets exactly or over three warnings, than that person is to be banned. Unless there is a problem with his warnings, there can't be an exception. Three of his four warnings were 100% warning material, while the other is questionable. And he's basically left the site anywayand won't be coming back, anyway.

Also, instead of banning Rincewind, we should just delete his account and all accounts that come from his computer besides his sister's. We don't want her banned, although we do want Rincewind banned.

[JDog]

this is off topic, kinda, but rincewind has sister?

[DW]

Wow. I have a lot to say...okay, here we go...

1.) Thank you so much, Gamefreak. I've been looking forward to this for a long time, and I will try to do as great a job as you did.

2.) Congrats on the admin position! I was waiting for this to happen for a long time as well, you definitely deserve this, and I know you will serve the site well.

3.) Rugby was one of my closest friends on this site, he helped me through many things. As much as I would like to say he deserves a second chance, however, what he did was inexcusable, and he must be banned. I will always remember him as the great person he was, and hope things go well for him and his fiancee.

4.) I am sad to see ZV going, but we must respect his wishes, it's not fair to force him to do a job that is too stressful for him. He will still be a great member of this site, mod or not.

5.) Rincewind is a very tricky subject...this would be so much easier if he didn't share TZ's computer...Is there any way to restrict membership to one account per computer?

6.)Here's to a new age of TDC! *raises glass*

[Mysterious F.]

His sister is TwilightZelda. She's a bit active and she hasn't broken the rules, so I don't really see the point of banninghim if it means she gets banned too. We should just delete every account that came from that computer they use besides TwilightZelda's.

[DW]

The thing about that is that he can create endless accounts....if there was a way to keep any accounts except TZ's from being made...
