Question: Some, notably Lidless, called for a ban. Given that only admins can innitiate the banning process, is Lidless' call merely ignored or is it a matter of the admins discussing whether this was or was not a breach of the rules?
(Feel free to point me to the appropriate thread if this has already been discussed; I went to the "How to use the Jury Room" sticky and wasn't clear on this)
yov, it should go to arbitration, them's the rules. I just happen to know what my vote and preferred punishment would be if I were the judge - so it's probably a good thing I'm not. wilko has me steamed regarding his approach towards
[non-member screen name deleted].
[non-member screen name deleted], too, has me steamed now. She's been great up to this point. It's a
private, invite-only board - she has no right to ask anything, just as TORC posters have no rights to the Mod Forum and she has no right to tell me what to do in a YM with a third party. How would it look if someone went crying to the mods saying, "don't talk about me there, I hear some of you might not like me"?
What
[non-member screen name deleted] should have done was to say, "Sorry, I'm not going to read /listen to that. That was on a private board." She didn't. Well, ignorance is bliss and now she's paying the price. I like
[non-member screen name deleted] and think she's a great mod and have called her a friend for almost two years now.
Hell, I remember when she broke up (temporarily) with
[non-member screen name deleted] at the Liverpool m00t last year - I was the one giving her the most hugs on the train platform and drying her eyes. But I have no sympathy here for her. Not one bit. It's just playing the victim, now.
I mean, we
have to talk about potential invitees as part of the invite process for chrissakes. And talk about them openly and honestly, too.
And we've been petting her hand, but ultimately it's her own fault for listening to it in the first place.
Yes these problems will go away when the boards are open. But until that time, any (potential) infringement on confidentiality, especially in Invites, is one that I find the hardest to forgive.
