..bloocollar isn't banned (although he was put on timeout more than once).

while his NSFW posts were always on the edge of what's allowed here, he decided to start adding porn to the mix. people complained. we asked him to refrain, he agreed.

then he went back on that, and kept trying to slide porn into the mix. the last NSFW post he made actually acknowledged this (not sure if y'all caught that "..mods, there's no funny business in this one..." statement he made in the OP).

too little, too late. he played himself by pushin' the envelope one too many times.

while artistic/tasteful nudity will always be appreciated, those massive archive posts he made are no longer allowed.

no one forced him to post porn, and no one forced him to leave. he gambled and lost. he got upset and decided he was done with OKP.

*shrug*

while i may not agree with everything you say/post, i still recognize you mean well. i've only hung out with you in mixed company a few times, but from what i could tell, you were always a good dude. that resonates with me.

i know a lot of people saw him as a misogynist, but i always thought he was trollin' for shits & giggles.

then again, i don't really know him.

..and while its not our norm to disclose private convo, there's nothing to hide regarding that.

there are quite a few misconceptions floating around these parts, but i'm not at liberty to address them all publicly.

if i can explain something without going into the details of private convo and still help the overall community/understanding, i'm all for it.

I can dig it.

Posted by Vex_id, Fri Oct-31-14 11:12 AM
and i appreciate the transparency (for once) - but it's just silly. This means that someone had to click on a bloo post, sift through his hundreds of gifs/jpegs, find one that was an alleged 'violation' - and then inbox a mod on some 'see!! ban him!'

c'mon. silly.

194341, who knows what exactly happened
Posted by BabySoulRebel, Fri Oct-31-14 11:15 AM

I for one didn't always appreciate it and found his presence to be more detrimental than beneficial.

i didn't care for his misogyny so, i didn't go into his nsfw posts. therefore, i wasn't aware of the porn.

but, if the board rule is "no porn" and you decide to plant your anti-authority flag on that rule, then you get what you get.

to me, that's where the silliness is--not in people complaining that he was being offensive, but in him deciding to disregard the guidelines out of pure selfishness.

and again, he ain't banned. soooooooo...

..while there were certainly a few community members that complained about his threads, he played himself with the actual porn inclusion.

*it generates "WARNING" for certain browsers/users, and states "the following contains material of a pornographic nature."

and while he initially started off sliding in a few scenes here & there, he eventually grew bolder with his actions.

given enough rope? *shrug*

*are you suggesting that the community SHOULDN'T do their jobs and report offenses?

and the real question: why couldn't he just ride out WITHOUT the porn?



*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...
194346, I agree on that - he shouldn't have violated the guidelines
Posted by Vex_id, Fri Oct-31-14 11:33 AM
by posting porn - that was just dumb if that's what he did.

But if it wasn't egregious (meaning he had one gif tucked into hundreds of gifs that could be interpreted as 'porn' that was on the borderline, left up to an individual to judge) - then I do think it's a bit silly.

..every flare up on the boards happens because people want to act out in fake outrage over simple things. mostly because they just want things their way.

however, once something is handled through inbox, and actual dialogue ensues, people are a LOT more receptive to things.

the problem is: TOO.MANY.PEOPLE.REFUSE.TO.FOLLOW.THAT.RULE.

instead of inboxing their concern, they'd rather blow up on the boards, vyin' for attention and support from the community.

and i mean that genuinely. i'd really like to see examples.

there was a time a few months back where i didn't like the way cyren handled a situation that i was in (still ain't happy about it), but it wasn't because he was being unfair to me, it was because he didn't know the history. so, we had different perspectives on how it should have been handled. but at the end of the day, i'm responsible for abby, and i decide every day if i want to participate in this forum or not. and cyren ain't the "law." he's just a mod. so, it ain't that big of a deal.

but folx act like the mods are the ferguson police, and i've yet to see that really play out here. so, yes, i'd like some examples.

No mod came to transparently address that situation, and that

I had to personally call a former mod to get the situation

was it ever officially addressed by the mods.

..had you actually reached out to me (or reg or jsun), we would've been able to handle the situation immediately. i never received an inbox about it. i was asked openly (on the boards AND twitter) by someone else.

i've stated several times that anyone who wishes to contact me can hit up my inbox (i'm alerting thru email & phone). i make every effort to address all issues in a timely manner. moving forward, i hope that won't be necessary, but the option is always open to you and everyone else.

..honestly, i think that entire situation was blown out of proportion.

unfortunate that someone would attack your character in that manner.

at the same time, a lot of people don't know you well enough to speak on your behalf. i'm prob'ly one of the few mods that have actually hung out with you in person and know you to be a good dude.

still, sometimes we're not on top of things as fast as we should be (and we've mentioned that). we do what we can, when we can. we're workin' towards improvement.

194371, i appreciated that, but it required more than just vouching for me
Posted by Vex_id, Fri Oct-31-14 11:47 AM
MrThomas knows me quite well, can vouch for me, and the person
who hacked me was clever in that they picked a fight w/ him -
so even those who know me were being subject to that deception.

Also, just because somebody may seem cool doesn't necessarily they mean they aren't racist or capable of using vile language like that. When it was factually established that i was hacked, it should've been addressed definitively, not just on some 'oh i think vex is cool and probably wouldn't do that' - you feel me?

I'm not trying to say mods are horrible - y'all do a good job by & large - but that situation was horribly handled from a justice standpoint.


-->
194372, i remember that. and i can see how that situation could put a bad taste in
Posted by abby, Fri Oct-31-14 11:55 AM
your mouth.

and i think i recall it being said that you were hacked, but because there was no definitive action or major announcement, if i'm being honest, in the back of my mind i've since wondered if you were really hacked. so, yes, i can see how that would be a fucked up situation for you.

if the question is in the back of my mind, and i've met you, i'm sure it is for others. so, yes, i can totally see your point.

my question, though, is what do you think the mods should have done? i know you think (and i agree) that there should have been definitive action. but, what kind of action? within their powers, how should they have handled it?
194373, exactly:

>if i'm being honest, in the back of my mind i've since
>wondered if you were really hacked. so, yes, i can see how
>that would be a fucked up situation for you.

And that should have been addressed as it was in their powers to do so in an official capacity - not on some 'oh vex is cool he wouldn't do that' << that's for other members to do, not mods who have a *factual* basis that I was hacked based on their investigation in running IPs and looking into the matter.

>my question, though, is what do you think the mods should have
>done? i know you think (and i agree) that there should have
>been definitive action. but, what kind of action? within their

Well, being that this post (about something as silly as porn) was anchored and explained with transparency, I think that my situation (much more serious and w/ greater implications) should've been addressed in this fashion. An anchored post (for a day) which says: "We (OKP) ran an investigation and it was confirmed that Vex was indeed hacked. In the spirit of transparency and protecting people's personal information/identity - we thought it was necessary to clear this up."

Since they didn't - it's still not cleared up in the minds of some people, particularly those who have had an agenda against me (like atruhead).

194375, i really wish you would've stated this at the time...
Posted by CyrenYoung, Fri Oct-31-14 12:43 PM
..because i have no problem doing just that.

in fact, its not too late (although, that might seem a bit strange at this point). you've been a part of this community for years and have earned the respect of your peers. i didn't realize that some people still viewed you in that light.

when i saw your comments (and the responses), i thought the situation was handled. since you never brought anything else to my attention, i wasn't aware that you still held residual feelings about the incident.

for this, i apologize.

i don't see you as a bigot/racist, and i don't believe the general perception of you or your character suggests anything like that. however, if you still want to address that on the board, i'm all for it and will anchor a thread to talk about it.

194376, anchor a thread. i think it deserves to be cleared up once and for all.
Posted by abby, Fri Oct-31-14 12:49 PM
it may seem strange since it happened so long ago, but i think you can link back to this post to explain why it's just happening now.

i can see how as a mod you do not have insight into every situation and how they affect members, so i understand how this might have slipped through.

but i think vex deserves an anchored thread...even if it's this late.

beyond being a very just gesture on your part (which I greatly appreciate) - it is important to me that this be cleared up (in an official capacity) - because it really bothered me for some time, and still does as not too long ago somebody brought it up on the boards as if I wasn't hacked - and admittedly - it bothered me (even though I realize that everyone in my life who knows me knows that I am not that kind of person).

I've been involved in this community since the very beginning, and if I do something to mess up my standing w/ anybody - i want it to be because of something i actually did or said - not a hacker w/ an agenda.

fairness is important to me. i don't like double standards, favoritism, and bullying. i've only been subject to it a few times in GD, nothing all that recently, and it's never been clear who did it. the deleting and hiding of posts was ridiculous and mildly annoying, but i never inboxed a mod or did what i know isn't supposed to be done and made a new post about it. i just chalked it up to a culture of rogue moderators trigger happy after years of dealing with an unruly population. i know topics can't be undeleted, and there's no point in remaking a topic that was just deleted, but just to illustrate what i'm talking about next time it happens to me i'll inbox you.

Dude Please. You are on the HIG HORSE.

Also, I have not violated any rule. Asking questions about MOD activity (Especially YOURS) is not a VIOLATION of any Rule. You are not the Judge and jury, you are just a cat that's in position to abuse the PRIVILEGE of being a responsible MOD with integrity.

So, before you go deactivating my login - which is EXTREME, or even deleting my post just because you don't like the content you should ask yourself, "AM i acting with integrity and honest fairness?"


Also, Polls about who should be a MOD has always been part of this place. And People know who needs to strop down. And so do you.

---------------------------------------------------------------

that's the end of that particular inbox.

*for the sake of clarity, we don't hold mod elections. its not allowed. (guideline #4). i've told you this on more than one occasion (on the boards AND inbox).

2. deleting a post about who should be a mod and who shouldn't doesn't really indite him of anything. if anything if that post was deleted its an indication of sensitive, selective and controlling moderation. your approval rating doesn't have to be 100. you should be able to take criticism and head and still do your job without getting personal.
