..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.

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.

I figured you guys were bullying us. Not sure what brought this up though.

..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.

People are "complaining" that he posted some porn in between his ridiculous jade typhoon posts?

they can't just ugh...let's see, not click on his posts?

Sounds a lot like somebody has a personal beef so they are trying ban a poster on a technicality.

-->

_______________________

a LOT of posters have been asking what happened to bloo (guess there weren't around for his goodbye post)

this is one of the few times recently that I can think of where mods have proactively addressed us versus us calling for an explanation.
I can dig it.

here for dis.

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.


-->

people would also complain publicly, sometimes in his own posts
I for one didn't always appreciate it and found his presence to be more detrimental than beneficial.
He's not banned so he can always come back if he wants to
again *shrug*

here for dis.

>I for one didn't always appreciate it and found his presence
>to be more detrimental than beneficial.
>He's not banned so he can always come back if he wants to
>again *shrug*

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...

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.

-->

..not only did he up the ante each time, he eventually had a full section of porn gifs

and then tried to play the victim???

..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.

not necessarily since bloo posted this link to a program that turned the links into pictures on the browser. Im sure what happened was a Mod clicked on it after he was already warned...

..where the mods weren't bein' fair/objective regarding the boards.

there are a lot of opinions shared on okp, but mods aren't abusive. colorful, yes. not abusive.

c'mon, fam.

we've chopped it up over drinks. you know the deal.


*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

let's stick to the original topic which was addressing bloocollar's self-exile.

here for dis.

..the common perception on the board is that any infraction met with action by a mod is immediately seen as ridiculous or extra.

the truth is everyone knows when they've stepped over the line, they just don't think they should be chastised about it. that's when everyone plays the victim.

all the talk of unfairness or that we play favors?

psssshhhhhaaaaawww.

you want it to be one way © marlo...


*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

the mods, but i've yet to see the unfairness.

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.

stand ur ground, believe in urself,
believe in love, prepare urself for love, remove the negativity from ur life, and accept the love u kno u deserve

and nary a mod came to explain what happened, until
waaaay after the fact to explain that i had in fact
been hacked, such that some of my fans (atruhead, bonamie)
were claiming that I did use the 'n' word to describe
a poster, and were perpetuating that lie all across social
media and to other posters.

No mod came to transparently address that situation, and that
was a vile attempt at character assassination.

-->

whoa

cursing me out and posting screen-shots (courtesy of
the wonderful atruhead) of the person who hacked me
using the 'n' word.

I had to personally call a former mod to get the situation
addressed, and even when mods had established that i was
in fact hacked, there was no clarity brought to the situation, nor
was it ever officially addressed by the mods.

That shit was worse than trying to clean up identity/credit card fraud.

..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.





*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

like, what year was that?

..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.




*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

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.


-->

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?

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

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).
