Well, he's being punished by all the talk of how he fucked up the site for Lee, and how much its gonna cost him. Any one of us could have tried doing what Tom did...
leucetios Wrote:Question: What did Tom possibly think would happen with his little posts?
Let's play it out:
1. Nothing. The site would handle it, there would be a thread with "TomFoolery" in it shitload of times and no one would care, no one would rack him, it would die a lonely ignore thread.
2. It would be called Spam and get deleted, or moved, or something, giving bdic and all of you who enjoy ranting and stomping your feet more fodder for "this place is no different" threads. Tom might get racked.
3. It would break the site. This would definately get some kind of rise out of the owners of the site. Possibly a banning? Stripping him of mod powers? Something to allow the effect of number 2 to happen. Tom would more than likely get racked.
It seems like there's no way he could have had truly innocuous intentions. So why punish him? Well, its not punishment. If you want to fuck around you're welcome to do so (with reason, and taking down 400 sites is not within reason), but you won't be a mod. Its just stupid to have people you can't trust (sup VitE) and who might do idiotic things (sup Tom) as Mods.

I know he didn't mean it. However, he shouldn't be praised either. Not pointing out anyone specifically, but it's not "rack-worthy."

I'm sorry. I missed when velvet gave her login info to someone who had already had their admin powers removed, and took the site down along with 400 others. Could you go ahead and bump those threads for me?

cLaY Wrote:1. agree...totally not rack worthy...Only one?A deeper algorithm is needed to respond to that correctly.
2. leu...i see your point, my apologies
3. IMO Velvet has done some idiotic things in the past that go against the site.
