the spoiler incident in main forum

[Daghdha]

AK and Whompie has been gagged by admins for coming upon "classified" info in the main thread. They are not suspended but aren't allowed to say anything that relates to the info in question. Of course it was a certain element of TNT that "mis-posted". I would like to pm admins about this and have a few words about it. Below is a draft on that pm, please comment. I believe the UN-rep should be the one sending it, but since Whomp cannot do that we have to assign a temporary UN-rep., hence the poll. My suggestion is that assignment is limited until W comes back and says "Hey guys, I'm ready to re-install". The poll will close Monday 3 Oct. Reason is I believe, since we decided to organize a bit, we should have a UN-rep that can comment on this issue w/o being labelled as callengeable and we should have him/her in the chair asap.

Edit
Issue seems solved so please consider the poll, as well as the discussion related to it, as closed.

It looks like the admins think it's all AK and W's fault. I'm quite sure Provo's post was deliberate.

I agree with sending a PM, just make it a bit more sophisticated

 

[Crakie]

I suppose the nature of this incident procludes us from getting more info about it's exact nature. I agree someone should step in temporarily as UN-rep and sort things out with the admins where possible. Before I cast a vote, is anyone especially interested in the position?

 

[Daghdha]

I will vote Bede if he takes it, but since it is only temporary I could do it also.

 

[Pentium]

I voted him too. But if he doesn't show up soon, send the PM yourself.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

considering the remaining content of the post in question, I'm not all sure it was a mistake. He knew Whomp would read it and also that Whomp is a very "Spirit of the Game"-guy. I wouldn't be surprised if it all is a ploy to make a point in the rule discussion.

was my first thought too

I voted slinger cause I think he could confuse the hell out of the other teams

 

[Butterball]

I will vote Bede if he takes it, but since it is only temporary I could do it also.

I voted for Bede or Dag.

I just spoke with Whomp via phone & he is having internet connection problems. He says that the problem should be resolved some time this pm. He is NOT suspended, however, he won't comment further than that. Politics ... Politics!!!

Ahhh...

It seems everyone is taking this the wrong way.

Whomp is NOT suspended. Whomp CAN talk in the forum, but NOT about any of the info he learned. Whomp CAN post and discuss, as long as it does NOT related to the info he learned. Provolution did NOT post it intentionally, it was a mispost in the wrong forum.

Sorry for the caps, I just want to get the right message across.

The "gag" is only on confidential info - not to other stuff like should be build a curragh here, etc. I do not see how Provolution would known which TEAM would've read it, let alone which people.

Feel free to PM RM and I and we can discuss the 'issue' more.

You can't be sure.

Edit: we also need someone to vote on the rules polls. I believe we should trust Dagh on that.

 

[Crakie]

Alright, glad that's cleared up then. Looks like my heartwarming PM to Whomp was unnecessary

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

I agree that Bede or Dagh should be the U.N. rep. Bede would be my first choice if he accepts.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

how come i didn't get a heartwarming PM?

 

[Daghdha]

It seems everyone is taking this the wrong way.

I hope not. I clearly stated in post#1 what you said GA. I just don't think Whomp and AK should be limited because Provo has F***ed it up, but that is my personal opinion and I might change my mind after everything is cleared up.

 

[Kickbooti]

how come i didn't get a heartwarming PM?

It's even public Admiral. I love you man

 

[gmaharriet]

how come i didn't get a heartwarming PM?

You knew my thoughts from IM chats and I didn't even send one to Whomp, assuming my comments would be passed along to him anyway via chat transcript. You guys are the best, and it seems unfair that either of you can't fully participate because of one nitwit (with rank much lower than idiot). *hugs*

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

where's whomp? BB (his dad for all that didn't know) posted he was having connectivity issues. See this is a family game.

The solution to this whole problem is to get a boat to TNT and make contact. At which point, u will have another problem - endless requests for approval about what I can send to provo

BTW, one of our members, who I'm protecting, pointed out to me there's a plus sign by my name in the forums up at the top where it shows who's where. I cant see said sign. My hypothesis is that all of my posts have been flagged for moderator review. In that spirit, provo's banned post mentioned something about opening a lemonade stand. just call me r.m. nixon. sorry couldn't resist.

EDIT: In rereading the above, it appears i'm turning into soul. If I go the whole way and become completely untelligble, please put me down.

 

[Whomp]

I'm fine. I have to go to a bday party but I hope to be back online tomorrow. Internet has not been working but I'll give you my view then. I will not give any information out that I have learned because we are going to win this without an * next to it. We are gonna win fair and square.

Motion approved
