Zell Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Can someone please tell me what he did that was so wrong? He looked through TG's PMs, big fucking deal. Yet people want his fucking head on a platter.
motion Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Tys: I'd start by learning English first. ZEll: It's not that big a deal, certainly not worthy of all this hype. Dodgy, but who cares.
chairdriver Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 This is more awkward than the time I instigated cyber sex with my mates sister, thinking it was someone else. Man, I went red that day. Haha!
conzer16 Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Yeah all your fault Conza. Que???? I banned Ashley.not really Ashley was joking about leafing through PMs for 'personal interest'. The only reason to look through them is to see if anyone is in violation of the rules. The only time I've ever done it was to see if someone was cheating in the quiz. As if Ashley has time to waste on leisurely reading PMs of people he already gives up his free time to manage, between work, juggling where he lives and his education. Ash does more work than anyone for these forums than any other red or blue name and you got on his case for some joke that was way out of order. Now please, be quiet about it. Just wondering, is Ashley actually banned? If so who banned him and why?
McPhee Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Just wondering, is Ashley actually banned? If so who banned him and why? Yes, and Ash banned himself
Platty Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Only Platty is left now. Actually there is Shorty, Jordan and Franky boy. Anyway what the fuck guys, I come home from work and all this has happened.
conzer16 Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Actually there is Shorty, Jordan and Franky boy. Anyway what the fuck guys, I come home from work and all this has happened. Ditto. There has been some serious carnage today.
ReZourceman Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Haha! True story. (Aquafires by the way) so yeah. Probably the most embarassed Ive ever been. I got mocked. Hard. A lot.
Mokong Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Ok i was just about to log off when I noticed this thread, i've just spent a fair amount of time reading each and every post and from what i can see this whole thing has gone way over the top. Ash was trying to test an issue a user brought up, and done so using an account of a member that not many people here liked much. His comment about going through TG's PMs was taken way too seriously, which seems to have lead to the whole idea that we admins freely go around looking through your PMs is bullshit, and blown WAY out of proportion. For the record WE DO NOT. (i think some are just trying to stir things up. Oddly enough one previously banned member, who said he wouldn't come back here shows that he's been here all along and couldn't resist tossing in his two cents) I don't think the whole issue here is people are angry Ash said he looked at TG's PMs, but more so that perhaps people didn't realize Vbullentin Boards have the feature for admins on a board to login as other users, and are now all paranoid worried that all we do is look through their PMs. We would only do so for someone who has caused trouble/is causing trouble. If such people were using the PM system to try and "plan" any further mischeif with other members I would think it would be best to know this so that we may prevent any damage being caused in the future. But once again just to be clear, we do not look at PMs Ash is quite possibly the most important person on these forums, as stated previously he's the one who sorts all the VB upgrades and adds new features, he's on here more than anyone else, and he still has his real life to juggle with also, as do we all... yes that's right believe it or not there is a real world outside the internet. Now please move on, this is a gaming forum not a drama queen meeting place.
Ashley Posted September 2, 2007 Author Posted September 2, 2007 I returneth. I always knew I would. I said as much in the staff forum because as Shorty has said, I do a lot of the behind the scenes stuff and wouldn’t want to leave the other admins in the lurch (and speaking of, why has everyone forgotten Jordan, Shorty, Mokong and Platty are all admins…). Anywho. My allbeit brief self banning (Shorty didn’t ban me, he did write “not” in white afterwards) was a dramatic display. Sometimes its needed (and if nothing else, spiced up Sunday evening eh?) I propose we put all this behind us. I admit I made a mistake but you have to understand I would never, and have never, read through someone’s PMs for funsies, only if needs be. I started looking at TG’s to check to see if rule-breaking stuff had gone down (namely name-throwing, insulting etc) and I went too far. As I said. I made a mistake. Everyone does. Anyway. Im not saying that as a “my decision is final” kind of thing, but more of a peace keeping method. Lets chalk it up to internet drama. I would close this thread but I don't want to prevent people from saying their word, as long as it isn't just "OH GOD HES SPYING ON US!". Lets all have a laugh about it eh? (ps first one to point out the irony of what I posted in the first post and me returning does not unfortunatly get any cookies. :p)
McPhee Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Once banned. Always banned. Dirty admins, you can't even play by you're own bleemin rules! :p EDIT: Oh I wanted a cookie...
Haden Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 I think your sig sums it all up lol. Glad your back
The fish Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 I think your sig sums it all up lol. Glad your back My thought's exactly.
Dyson Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Aw fuck it. I mean, I love you and want babies. Or... DO I?!
ReZourceman Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Spiced up Sunday evening? Spiced up Sunday evening? SPICED UP SUNDAY EVENING?!?!?! ....Yep. Lozzles!!!
motion Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Dirty admins, you can't even play by you're own bleemin rules! :p The irony is quite legendary
Ashley Posted September 2, 2007 Author Posted September 2, 2007 The irony is quite legendary Gotta love irony :p
Cube Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 I go away for a few hours and you lot go ahead and have fun without me. Typical.
darkcloud Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 When Supergrunch told me about all this I expected so much more..... Such a dissapointment. You guys suck at revolting. Ermmm, I actually found the whole situation quite hillarious especially with the forum actually being closed because of this. =P Like I said to supergrunch I don't care who reads my PMs as I never have anything to hide on like anything. =P But yeah, I was hoping for everyone doing ban worthy things as that would have been epic.... What a way to get revenge!
Ashley Posted September 2, 2007 Author Posted September 2, 2007 Ermmm, I actually found the whole situation quite hillarious especially with the forum actually being closed because of this. =P Closed to tidy up as its easier :p
Charlie Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 If you're registered on any vB forums the admins can read your PMs, log on as you and post and basically do whatever the hell they want with your account. Clicked the button where it says admins can't send you emails? Guess what. They can.
thirtynine. Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Someone should ban them selves every sunday just to entertain us in our otherwise pretty shitty lives.
