What's going on? (Thread locking? EMH?)

Erm... I'm not sure if I'm just being dense, but why did Kelly just lock these two threads?

viewtopic.php?t=54275

Also, what happened to EMH?

What's going on?

*confused*

I have no idea what's up.

Looks like StrRedWolf thinks I'm the one causing troubles.

I'll PM him and explain that.

Those were ancient threads... There was no interest in continuing those discussions anyway (well maybe perhaps not for VT).

Yeah but... Although I can spot similarity in those threads, it's still peculiar.

Jops · Post by **Jops** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 12:17 pm

i fail to see the reason of locking those threads...

Nyke · Post by **Nyke** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 12:30 pm

Yeah, those threads were out to sea. Why'd s/he lock them?

YarpsDat · Post by **YarpsDat** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 12:30 pm

I see one.

But it's just... so...

surreal.

Hmm.. what? So is it really VT's word versus yours?

Anyone got a solid generally agreed upon definition of spamming? Kinda feel like knowing about now.

I'm scared. Hold me.

Did something happen to the EMH? I just noticed the thread lockings.

YarpsDat · Post by **YarpsDat** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 12:50 pm

EMH(aka me) was removed from GD's moderators.

Anyways, I send PM to StrredWolf, but I lack AIM, YIM or ICQ to tell him there is one waiting in his inbox.
Anyone?

Strange... but Kisai herself told Vile to stop spamming the boards...

I'm not going to speculate until we get the official word from Kelly...

But I'd feel a lot better if we knew what was going on. It's the uncertainty that gives me this cold feeling down my spine.

I have AIM. Shall I try and contact Kelly (nervous)

YarpsDat · Post by **YarpsDat** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 1:47 pm

Okay, it's more or less cleared now.

You can now relax, I will be moderator again, but it requires an official ceremony,
I think all the moderators will gather, and then the Admin will personally grant me the mighty sword of moderation.

Or something like that. o_@

Phalanx · Post by **Phalanx** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 2:03 pm

Because I know I won't get any sleep tonight unless I find out:

What happened?

Executor_Arthas · Post by **Executor_Arthas** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 2:05 pm

Excellent... And then the heavens shall rain down spare ribs on us!!!!!

Mr.Bob · Post by **Mr.Bob** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 2:14 pm

Ooh! Ooh! I hope the ceremony includes the sacrificing of virgins!
*gets excited*

Toxic · Post by **Toxic** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 2:31 pm

Oh crap. VT is a brig reisdent now. Well, I guess its for the best.

YarpsDat · Post by **YarpsDat** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 2:33 pm

I was just ripped of the ceremony. I just send one e-mail, and blinked, and I'm moderator again.

If you want to know what happened... I wouldn't like to speak for StrredWolf... but I will try to explain just so you can sleep.
Of course I'm not him, so I can only read between the lines of his messages, so it doesn't necessarily have to be true:

Anyways: remember when I first became moderator?
VileTerror got hella scared in the first moment, and send an e-mail to StrredWolf.
Apparently it got lost between other messages, and only got read recently.
Probably the e-mail contained links to the two threads, they were probably EvidenceA and EvidenceB proving that I'm nasty guy, picking on innocent VileTerror.
probably e-mail sounded panicky enough, that StrredWolf decided to take immediate action, and didn't notice the dates on the threads, nor had he time to check the actual state of the forum.
Can't blame him. The whole me becoming moderator thing was never official, and now the forum administrator gets a message that some EvilHellSpawn become a moderator, and is picking on innocent forum goers. Now, you have to admitt that it calls for immediate attention.
So he locked the threads, and removed EMH.

He also PMed me requesting explanation (I think, it was quite an angry PM, I think he wanted to nuke me too

)
But I provided him with the history written from the other side of YD vs VT conflict.
And apparently I managed to convince him I'm not as bad as the e-mail said.
Actually I think I managed to convince him that I'm good enough to be moderator (I gave him links to the thread where nearly everybody says it is a good idea)

After that making EMH an official sweeper of the KSGD required an e-mail confirmation from me. I guess a working e-mail is required for moderators. Formality.

EDIT: Apparently I also convinced Wolf to put Viles in "brig". Kinda funny it's a result of Vile's e-mail.

BTW, we have two new forums now. (check the index).
Though I have no idea what pitching one's comic entails.
