That's fine, I know it's a little difficult when suddenly there are people to enforce the rules, but Derek not being a real mod wasn't a good thing. People seem to think I disliked Derek because of personal issues with him or Star Citizen things. It's because I, as an admin, felt he was a bad mod, because I had to keep declining month-long probations he requested on people who poked fun at him. Then he proved me right by making a really, really unacceptable mod decision. I totally take responsibility for ignoring this forum and letting it have the fake joke mod for so long. That was a mistake, due to personal bias. I admit that. But even the SC forum needs actual mods if it's going to thrive, and Beer and Beet will do good jobs.

Eh. My bad. Must have been FAU and g0m then.

My point stands about it still coming across as a shock, as Derek was more "honorary" mod than anything else. He literally didn't do anything except Warlord.

The last 24 hours (and I suppose the next 24 hours) are not a good reference point, and no way signs of doom and dark days to come.

Without most of those probations we would still be reading the same people being outraged/ pissed at FAU and arguing semantics about outing someone on the forums or why Beer and Beets are not suitable, etc.

Yeah, but Beet's also not posted any pictures of his dog and that's a pretty serious concern for us.

Beer and Beet are both pretty cool, but they need to make sure they don't neglect their other responsibilities now that they're mods.

Overall though, I support their promotion to moderators mostly because they have very similar names.

You're right, I've been neglecting my most important duty. Yesterday was a bit of a weird day, but I'll make sure there's plenty of Kayak moving forward.

Given his past history moderating forums and warlording with people online I was always a little surprised that Derek was not handing out more bans and probations against the Lazrin's and MoMA's of the thread. I guess now we know why!

Sorry for the dox but it has to be said.

- FactsAreUseless is a backer so he's a scammed person.
- FactsAreUseless tried to scam a user in that chargeback thing.
- FactsAreUseless may be native english speaker, so low iq.
- FactsAreUseless has personal grudge against Dr. Smart.

That leads to the inevitable conclusion : FactsAreUseless = Chris roberts.

He didn't get banned by lowtax who is probably doing Holiday stuff so he's waiting for his response.

If you like beets you should definitely have a roasted beet and cheese sandwich. Put some arugula on there IMO.


But also if you don't like beets, maybe make a different kind of sandwich.

Look at his rap sheet. This is the guy that's going to save SA from all the worthless posting going on in this thread.

For some reason it baffles Lowtax that other people don't enjoy having these artistes wander outside their echo chamber and telling them in which sections of the forum they should post.

Umm wasnt star citizen thread moved out of games because you didnt want to moderate it?

So now your coming back to star citizen thread yelling how you want it under your moderation again?
Arent you busy enough moderating games and GBS?
Why are you moderating GBS, if star citizen was beyond your control in games?

Just questioning your explanation, because it makes no sense.


but anyways you banned this funny guy from forums.

Sure, and I think it will do better with mods who know the thread. Getting rid of the thread entirely like I did was probably a mistake, and I've come around to recognizing that people should have a place to post about it. Once things calm down a bit and the tantrum brigade goes away I won't have to intervene at all. I only did because we can't have mods doxxing people.

This is funny in the same way people think the "Goon threat" is more than a bunch of people laughing at other people doing something stupid while a few outliers go in and stir the pot to keep things funny.

I guess though these people are used to huge levels of disappointment though. They are Star Citizen fans after all.
