Modding of I love TMI

hmm

hackers, def hackers

kenan was just banned from thread iirc

Who unbanned him from that thread is the question, I think. Kate, ENBB and Tuomas were the ILTMI mods, and they didn't do it. None of the sitewide mods know who did it. It was his unbanning from that thread that upset Kate. I, for one, did not jump in and re-ban Kenan from that thread because I prefer to find out what's going on in a situation before I take any action, unless there's an obvious urgent need. Right now the "who unbanned Kenan" mystery still has the sitewides baffled. I regret that we don't act quickly enough or communicate quickly enough to suit Kate, but frankly, she has a hair-trigger and there's no such thing as moving quickly enough or communicating quickly enough to suit Kate.

Mods don't do, or fail to do, anything in order to spite any ILXor.

xposts, was composing that while HI DERE posted.

- A sitemod unbanned Kenan; so far, no one is taking credit for this. If someone DID do this, IMO that person should not be a sitemod anymore. No exceptions.

i do not share y.o.

surely k8 was acting capriciously, not the mod who restored things. isn't this whole thread pointing out that ILTMI is a board to be modded in an impersonal fashion like ILE or ILM & not according to whims like Stickwaving: The Chinatown of ILX :: The Chinatown of ILX.

i unbanned kenan and throw myself on the mercy of the court

Taking a mod action on a board that isn't being tracked and not telling anyone, including the other other sitemods, about what you are doing is bad modding. If there was a reason behind it, if it had been written up the mods Kate contacted could have communicated better with her. She may still be angry, but there would be answer. As it stands right now, we have nothing to say other than "we don't know what happened". That doesn't help anyone.

If 'who unbanned kenan' is a big question, then 'when/how did kate get ILTMI mod powers back' is another one, i think

as of right now, I am not 100% convinced they were ever actually taken away

actually I wonder if there's some weird cache interaction happening here where attempting to do something at a certain time gets ignored because the site is running maintenance tasks

How long is this clusterfuck going to go on for?

1) I banned Kenan (and a couple of other guys who had posted) from the thread because, as stated, several people on the thread (myself, Nijoli and someone else) said that they felt uncomfortable sharing intimate details of their personal lives for fear of mockery, among other things. Kenan, to give him credit, at least tried to contact me about this, though I was unable to respond, as he did not provide an email address where we could discuss it further.

2) Someone removed the ban. I contacted several moderators asking what the policy on this was. I asked, if I was not going to be allowed to moderate, to have my moderation privileges revoked and to be removed from the board. Only one mod replied, saying that he was too busy with personal issues to get involved (fair enough). There was no other response.

3) When there was no response, I banned both of my accounts from TMI. If anyone had been curious or concerned about that, well, NOT ONE PERSON bothered to webmail or email me or ask me what had happened, they just went straight to opening up the old clusterfuck thread yet again.

4) I yet again wrote to several more mods, explaining my actions yet again, and asking for this thread to be locked. I have been removed from moderation, I have been removed from TMI. I do not know what else you want? A public execution?

I do not understand this thread is kept being kept open for the usual round of clusterfuck, character assassination, grandstanding and just all around fucking drama that gets dragged out whenever my name is even *mentioned* on the mod board, whether I am involved or not. I gather you lot seem to enjoy doing this, because I certainly do not.

I am asking yet again for this thread to be locked since none of the moderators have responded to any of my emails. Enough is enough.

I only just saw the email you sent me after reading this post.

Thread is locked.
