yeah this sounds fake as poo poo

sure is a wild coïncidence that every one he gets in a relationship w ends up making similar completely untrue allegations of assault because of their combination of medication/substance issues/mental illness, and then flees from his life as completely as possible and prevents him from coming into contact w any children they might have together

guess he just has a run of bad luck!!!

I just read all the Jeffrey news

welp he’s 100% gonna ban all the leftists and torch CSPAM, then bring in more ‘informants’, it’s been real fellas

I’ve also repeatedly PM’d him that he’s a loving idiot, for fun, so if I catch a random perma that’s why

jeffreys #1 most consistent sentiment in mod spaces, in the time ive been a mod, has been that the mods/admins should take care of the community and the people on something awful

just in past conversation about “some cspam people are convinced you wanna close cspam and ban us all??” his first and immediate response was no, that would hurt the huge number of people who love cspam and rely on it as a community (paraphrase but to thebest of my recollection the exact sentiment expressed)

now im not asking you to trust my ~*secret knowledge~* more than yr own eyes and heart, but plz take that for w/e its worth to you

and no I do not trust jeffreys honesty or judgement, squizzle, are you out of your goddamn mind? :stonklol:

i mean, the vast majority of my impressions of the admins and most of the mods are based on interactions that took place in confidence—and im neither going to break peoples confidence nor ask you to just take my word for things that i won't substantiate. but i can only speak fully on behalf of my own perspective, even tho i cant suggest you take it as absolute and authoritative on anything

but to the end that someone might trust or value my opinion, well, i might as well offer it!!

Can Jeffrey read our PM's?

i know it is technically possible because zdr mentioned having to do it once because someone asked him to look at their PMs to verify something—they were getting abusive msgs and there is no way for a mod/admin to verify the contents of a pm someone forwards or screenshots. so they asked zdr to check manually via the database and he was like “uuh ok??” and from what he said at the time, as i remember it, it was both technically unwieldy and something he didnt enjoy on a user-trust lvl

so the answer is yes, he could, but fwiw i doubt he would even if asked to

Fly Molo posted:

this just reads like more thin blue line crap, just like when KM and Jeffrey were vouching for PPJs character because in private he convinced them he was hunting nazis.

we’re not privy to those secret mod discussions, all we can judge is public actions: those have been poo poo. is there going to be any more openness or accountability among the mods and admins moving forward? so far 0 of the admins who banned people for talking about lowtax being a wifebeater months ago have taken responsibility for their actions or explained what will be different this time. none of the mods who enabled, hid, and excused lowtax’s poo poo are going to be held accountable in any way. the closest thing is LK resigning in protest, props to him. the underlying rot is still there, and growing like an authoritarian cancer. this is why I don’t trust Jeffrey to reform things in any substantial way.

meet the new boss, same as the old boss. :shrug:

its not a Mod Fraternity thing. i dont like repeating things said w an expectation of privacy, outside of that private sphere. sometimes mods will talk about encouraging or uplifting msgs they get from people, and i dont* do that because anything someone said to me in pm was said to me w/o any expectation i would share it outside of that exchange

*i once shared that someone told me to go gently caress myself, in what i thought was a funny way. i made sure not to include the persons username tho

legally speaking, all posts, content, smilies, etc. posted in the forums, as well as archives, servers, and the code of the forums itself are property of the Something Awful Limited Liability Corporation, if he wanted to, as the owner of that corporation, he could technically permaban everyone, take everything offline, and sue anyone that reposts anything from the forums elsewhere on the internet for copyright infringement, is how I believe it works

i think the content of the posts remains property of the posters, to secure dmca platform protections for the forums. but the database and tools for retrieving those posts, as well as the organization and presentation of the posts, could belong to the llc

but does that whole incident change your appraisal of jeffrey’s judgement and character? do you think it’s a pro or con that he runs an unknown number of informants (he referenced other informants).

yeah jeffreys cool, and all evidence to the contrary (like permabanning CSPAM folks and accusing wampa and nichael of being homophobes??) just gets brushed under the rug

i thought the whole thing was that they were talking about leaking private conversation spaces, not homophobia. nichael is abolutely not homophobic, and ive never seen the faintest hint that wampa is and have every cause to believe fervently that he isnt. (i phrase them differently because nichael has been much more open w talking about his work and personal life than wampa so we can know nichael a bit better)
