[Yamaneko]

I blame Shlup and Raist.

[RSL]

I think people are scared of making feedback threads as every last one of them gets closed...

[ShlupQuack]

I'm sick of these "rules are rules are rules" situations. It is clearly better for everyone if Kishi remains a Knight. Its not that big of a freaking deal. Got a problem with the decision? Try going outside once in awhile.

And, Matt, you know I love you, but, lets face it, Kishi is more of an asset to EoFF than you are. (feel free to quote that in anger, muahaha)

As I recall, Sean said if there's no nipples or genitals its not porn. I think that image was borderline, and not worth losing Kishi over.

Blah blah blah...

So Matt (and Leeza?) are taking the stance that they're just not dealing with this at all, Becky's gonna argue more and then leave(?) and then follows with Roo closes Feedback and Del and Yams go. Correct?

I'll re-Knight Kishi after catching up on LJs.

[Big D]

Once he gets 're-knighted for good', I'll fly off the handle and post about it in Feedback, even if it requires a new thread... something like this:

I've been moderating this forum since 2003, and in all that time nothing has compelled me to breach the trust of my fellow staffers by discussing staff matters publicly. However, things have been getting out of hand in recent days, and now they've just gone too far for me to tolerate.

Yesterday, Kawaii Ryukishi was banned from EoFF for posting an inappropriate image. He was banned, just as any other member would have been. It was a huge shock and a disappointment to us all, but the rules are the rules, and those rules are here for the overall good of the forum. Kishi, for whatever reason, compromised those rules and compromised the integrity of EoFF as a whole.

Now, however, he has been un-banned and reinstated as a moderator. Not by a staff consensus, and not because his image was deemed acceptable - he was re-modded because of his 'importance' and 'status' as an EoFF stalwart from the past. I want it to be known that the majority of staff disagree strongly with this action, and we want to make this public in the hope of forcing some responsibility from those others who care more about 'personalities' than about the guidlines and standards that made this place great.

Then I could close the thread so that only staff can post in it, and we could have an all-out public bitch-slapping battle.

[ShlupQuack]

Jeez, I thought I posted right after Daryl. Guess I missed a few.

[RSL]

I replied to you in Raistlin's LJ.

Um, I think there's more than one staffer that should get a say in this?

***CENSORED***

[ShlupQuack]

After I told you to read my post in the staff forum, I was gonna cuss you out, but Raist is typing too fast... xD

I'm not gonna have time to post all the responses 'cause I have a final. I'm gonna respond and leave.

"So, what if a Cid's Knight, or Administrator posted a similar picture that Peter posted, would the staff demote them and ban them for that?" - Proto, to Leeza

"Yes." - Leeza's reply, to Proto

"If I was in his position then I would probably say "oh crap, that was dumb of me" and go to one of the other 3 million message boards on the internet to get my net fix." -RSL

"Post porn, get banned. Seems pretty simple to me." - Yams

"In my eyes everyone here has the same chance to get banned. There are no "good members"." - Yams

"Once a decision is made, we stick with it. That's consistency." - Unne

"However, if policy changes and people are allowed a "second chance" for accidental posting of pornography/inappropriate imagery, then we're sending a message that it's quite all right to post it, provided it's only done once. Anyone with a chip on his or her shoulder could "inadvertently" post something objectionable and expect to get away with it. If PeTerL90 is unbanned, then anyone else banned for pronography could simply say, "I never posted that on purpose, you've got to unban me or else that proves you're biased and hypocritical because PeTerL90 got unbanned."
This would simply be unacceptable." - Big D

The Porn Policy

I guess those are all just words.
