An open letter to YP

Lykourgos · Post by **Lykourgos** » Tue Mar 20, 2007 4:46 pm

I don't give a @#(! about rumored drama from 5+ years ago.

YP, that name was $#@!ing offensive. Don't give me bull@#(! about turn my censor on. I shouldn't have to $#@!ing censor you existence out of my Allegiance. Do what you want to piss Pook and company off, that's your business. Don't contribute to homophobia in a public environment around young people. Half of America is trying to take away the basic civil rights of gay people- this has ceased to be a joking matter.

AND?

That's it?

edit:

To Lyk

You should give a @#(! it's the key to this whole dysfunctional mess but well spoken and point taken.

To All
Mine is he said YPe said bah forgetaboutit

However here is a list
Hate speech, hacking, shutting down the forums single handecly, repeated documented idiotic behavior, oh and posting a link to a site that sniffed for email addys [ Pook dressed him down in forum AND I still get spam tyvm /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> ]

Dev or not, helpful or NOT what more do you want @#(! Quat's a saint in comparison

He decided to take the two most time-consuming jobs off of his plate and give them to myself and BV in the forms of "Community Administrator" and "Enforcement Administrator," leaving him more time with Systems Administration and ASGS development...but you knew that. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

yeah, i'm wondering what they want him to stop doing now, whether they want a "i will never ban or lock/delete topics/posts again". but from what i've seen, any bans given were generally obviously warranted. i haven't seen any of the deleted posts..because they were deleted, but i'm guessing they were obviously bad (and the poster knew it)

cross over isn't bad, at first i thought the forum lock was so that one of you could deal with it instead, so people cant say that pook was (ab)using power

i still think people are making too much out of little things

(dam, people are posting in this fast)

While I find the use of YPs words moderately offensive, I still find it difficult to understand why shutting down the forums was the only solution.

Racial, sexual and other nasty intolerances are a fact of life. It is up to you as an individual to either play into the shock value reaction that some people are trying to incite or move along and just remove said offenders completely.

Just because one person uses poor judgement is not any reason to punish the entire community.

As far as being this whole thing being orchestrated goes I think that would be a rumor and nothing more.

This is not a reflection of my views or my squads views. YP acts alone AFAIK.

It was because YP kept making new accounts and posting attacks, Pook eventually needed sleep I suppose.

That's what I gathered from the main Pook post.
He did not want to hand over the forum to YP while getting some sleep. Reasonable reaction I think (even though it annoyed me, I need my forum time damnit).

TY Spidey but Spawn already talked me out of my pitch fork and burn the witch sign /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

- I stand by my rep and story

- I have a sore spot about YP both in the past and current

- Im concerned with the ever rising level of stupidity against the Management

- Im concerned with the us vs them mentality and think a bit of martyr syndrome has set in... on both sides

- Im on Allegiance's side

- I think Im done as long as YP's behavior is punished.

I appoligize for that name Lyk, though that was never my target.

I may not of taken the path that you, or many others would of to bring my concerns to light, but I guess thats why we are all different, it makes things interesting. My point was only ever directed at pook, and these things he calls 'attacks' were not attacks or harasment at all. Though it is obvous that he took them that way.

I see myself trying to voice my oppinion about the lack of quality of a certian admin, and having that admin silence me. You notice how he only deleted the posts about him and not the one that botherd Lyk so much.

ps. mrChaos your theorys are unfounded.
Pook your ts story never happend either, and you can unrestrict my posting privilages anytime. Thanks.

I'll probably be one of the first people to jump up against admins supressing our rights(as if we have any), but this is just retarded. The only thing you are protesting is the right to be a $#@!ing idiot.

This is one of the biggest non-issues blown up just for the sake of being an issue. Mother-$#@!ing common sense, where has it gone?

If you have a problem with your admin deal with it with him, by pms, not by a hey everyone watch me get banned flaunt show.

$#@!ing dumbass.
