Re: quick question

I'm thinking AP is starting to crack down on the whole antagonistic vibe we have going on around here. The Positivity sticky in TGB, the disclaimer in Suspicious Scores...yeah.

Bitch and moan as we may (and I would if I thought it would make a difference), it was still his call to make. Let's respect him at least that much.

Re: quick question

I'm thinking AP is starting to crack down on the whole antagonistic vibe we have going on around here.

And my argument is that using scare tactics such as scorewipes to make infractions and punishments more threatening is only going to make the situation all the more antagonistic.

After talking to some people, the reason for this is apparently as an easier solution to "get rid of dicks". Basically, using scorewipes as additional weight to the bargaining chip. The rationale I hear is that "people don't listen regardless of bans, so we have to do something harsher". I interpret this as a short-term solution that can definitely end up in an equally unattractive way. I find this no different than the police force resorting to jails to "fix people" as opposed to education - a gradual process that needs to be ingrained into the community as a whole. Now can you see what I mean when I'm referring to long vs short-term solutions?

edit: the only reason why I'm drilling into this situation is because I want staff to also acknowledge that it's part of their job to have an entrusting relationship amongst the community. Staff needs to encourage the cultivation of good habits - not cultivate fear.

Re: quick question

I'm not saying what he did was right, merely that I understand why he did what he did. The writing was on the wall and he made good on his threats. (ffrpartyy just exploded when the news broke, btw).

I see it as like the odd case of police brutality, which was brought up during the Occupy Wall Street movement. As much as authority figures are trusted to not blow their stack during this sort of situation, they're still people. As famous as the deep-seated rage in all rhythm game players may be, let's use this as an example of what happens when we don't keep that rage confined to cameljacks and bullshit transitions.

Re: quick question

I was gonna ask the same question until he ban evaded and I was all like ://///

pretty sure ban evasion means game over, period. that's how most websites handle their biz.

No, ban evasion here means a perma ban on the evasion account and double ban time on the main.
