Caltrops - Site Comments





	[quote name="Bill Dungsroman"]This has got to stop. It's probably impossible, given that it's his server and such, but Senor Barborito shouldn't be an admin to caltrops, at least not right now. This is not meant in offense to, nor is it an attack on, SB. You just can't do it, man. We finally resolve vindictive retaliations against a nothingth of a troll like S_Forgel, and then there you are goading him into giving you permission to check his IP. Then, you tell us all about it with an air of triumph. THE GUY SIGNS HIS POSTS "MEOW MIX" AND YOU'RE <I>CELEBRATING</I> HAVING TO CHECK HIS IP? Does this site need two admins? Maybe, I don't know nuthin' of all that fancy intarweb mammagement, but I think ES could do a fair job on his own. Again, I don't know. What I <I>do</I> know is that caltrops is apparently not close enough to being sufficiently secure to thwart would-be trolls. ES, I thought you said the shields were up? Now I keep seeing all these exceptions to that status. WTF? Maybe SB should lay off the admin work and concentrate on securing this place. Again, I'm not in the know about that sort of thing. But something has to be done here. This is in no way supporting Zseni's decision to force herself to get banned. That's all on her. If Creexul wants to leave because some of the rules we (and virtually every other above-board site on the web) decided on long ago - didn't you get the memo, Creex? - finally had to be enforced, then seeya, John. I wasn't aware that you had such an affinity for spam and you couldn't get granny porn anywhere else. If you want to leave, go ahead, but you sure picked a stupid-ass reason to do it. Why did you stay at oMM, it had the same rules we do. Is everyone here incapable of acting like adults? Can we ever get our shit together? This isn't fucking funny anymore, it's fucking gay. I have some suggestions: 1. A self-imposed restriction of SB posting as an admin. ES is the only mouthpiece for the site. This will no doubt fail, which is why SB shouldn't be an admin. 2. Navel-gazing discussions and repetitive arguments over this site's function should be eliminated, at least the ones pertaining to enforcement of our rules, the rules every other above-board website has. 3. The rules need to be posted CONSPICUOUSLY. 4. If we are going to continue as a user-submitted review site, a conspicuous declaration that clearly states that a writer's submitted works, when submitted and posted by caltrops, become the sole property of caltrops and may be put or taken down at our behest. If this isn't legally possible, then a user-submited site is a stupid fucking idea in the first place. 5. Fix our forum titles so they make some fucking sense. Har har, Operation:Hammer Time. How about we keep TEH FUNAY in our content and inside the forums where they belong? The ultimatum? Change, or I'm going too. You can keep my stuff if you want, but I can't stomach coming here and reading a billion posts about ourselves every fucking day. You can make a Next Tuesday joke if you want, but I got that new promotion that I babbled about, and I don't have the time to commit to this place as much as I did anyway. It's not that I don't want to, but we need to make some serious fucking changes here, because the state of the site as it is is seriously fucking disappointing. BDR [/quote]
