Title: Insanity demoted from Coders of Tomorrow
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 01, 2007, 12:24:00 pm
We are sorry to announce that Insanity (previously known as Randomist, Draconic_Oath, Chaotic, Full-Metal-Randomist, pyroxp2k, Failure21 (IRC channel), has been demoted from Omnimaga staff.

The decision of demoting him from staff was triggered by the result of many misbehaviour on 3 of the TI IRC channels, including #omnimaga, which eventually leaded to a ban on both #unitedti and #omnimaga, and several 24 hours bans on #tcpa (if not more), as well as disruption of those. The demoting is the same reason from the IRC ban (Testing scripts in public channels, ignoring people who warn him (then saying he didn't come to listen to our warnings he just came for SQL help), excessively long CTCP reply, which reduces performance of the servers, excessive nickchanges, and other similar misbehaviours).

Since it happened on IRC, we are not going to ban here on the forums unless he misbehave one single time on them, but we feel that all staff must follow rules, on both irc and forums, that they must not disturb other TI communities (we have a reputation to uphold), and must respect people (not ignore them when they are trying to help him not get banned).

We are sorry to have to do this, but this is extremes measures. This message is not intended to tarnish the person reputation at all, it is meant as an example of what happen if someone break rules, and by posting this, we are letting people know that those misbehaviours are not allowed. As for the staff demoting, it is mostly to avoid the person at fault tarnish our reputation.

We hopes the person learns a lesson and change his behaviour and that other people do not repeat what happened in the community again.

I'd rather not make a final judgment at this point, since I've been on the receiving end of what I thought was an unfair Omnimaga banhammer (which was later resolved :)smile.gif ), but I did see Randomist's behavior in #tcpa and other channels as violating common netiquette.

yeah, he must either be using a proxy, be on a friend comp, or it's one of his friend.

On a off topic note is it me or is saxjax linked to all forums now that have it installed?

EDIT: Kerm, you have been permbanned again for posting

 tiSAX is linked in all the forums, but SaxJax (the tiSAX  It should be back shortly.  I'd love to get tiSAX on here at some point. :)smile.gif

to do that, I would need to host saxjax on omnimaga.unitedti.org/saxjax/ and iframe it here somewhere on the forum (I would prefer right above the affiliate box), and find a way to parse/grab/whatever new posts/login/new topic. Probably would need to make saxjax scan the today active topic page every 2 minutes to see if there's new posts and who added it.

I think you should prefix from which forums logins/posts come from though, like instead of saying "User1 added a post in topic1" say "User1 added a post in topic1 on Omnimaga", so the user wont say wtf if he get redirected to another site when clicking the topic link :Ptongue.gif, at least he'll know if its an external site or not :)smile.gif

hmm, as far as I can see, the deop/ban from IRC was deserved. He was warned many, many times, yet ignored them.

edit: a quote of my post at rivereye studios:

hmm, yea, some features might be nice.

also, at Randomist(if it is randomist,) I think the ban from the channels/loss of privelidge was just. You were testing scripts after numerous people(myself included) told you not to, you were join/part flooding, you were telling people to do a CTCP version to your client, which flooded them with unexpected text, and, no offense, but recently, I've been seeing you as an all around nucicence. You try to make jokes at everything/everyone, you say random pointless stuff and you spam the channels with crap noone wants.

is this the CMS'es 1st flame thread?

Yes I think it was fair as well. Warnings were issued and were not heeded which resulted in swift action to take out the bad seed. He was at least not banned from the site which should mean that there is some chance, if not small, that he will be welcomed back. All in all there is no loss here I believe because all he needs to do is prove himself more mature.

This is when he got warned for removing his CTCP reply that flooded the server

I'm not even going to read that.  He was banned from UTI for a while (then re-permitted), because of inappropriate language and display of violence (anyone at UTI who saw the avy he had knows what I'm talking about).

He also is part of why we recently made signatures more restrictive here (besides your two metroid screens %)rolleyes2.gif ) but if he doesn't come back (he is not banned from forums yet) I may revert the signature change

Post by: Harrierfalcon on August 02, 2007, 04:49:00 pm
It's alright  :Dbiggrin.gif.  I had a few people (prolly on dial-up) complaining about how they made the page take really long to load.

But honestly, I found him to be a bit of a nuisance.  He always seemed to act impulsively, and he always takes stuff (almost) nobody cares about waaaayyyy too far.  (i.e. PyroEdit, I swear the first was still the best.)

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 02, 2007, 05:16:00 pm
pyro edit was not bad, despite of the size, that got him omnimaga staff back then, but he always whined about how the os he was using sucked and kept mentionning switching os and all, which at one point got considered as spam.

But I think now we should all move on, if he ever show he can act normally again maybe the ban will be lifted but theres no chance for a staff come back

On an off topic note, welcome back btw, i noticed you didnt posted in a long while, and to everyone who didn't got on irc today we are soon gonna hire new staff again. I think I've announced this anyway before losing internet access for the entire spring

Yeah, I was forced to a system restore at one point (Task Manager wouldn't run, wtf), so my cookies died and I forgot to re-login so I always thought no one posted here anymore  :wub:wub.gif until I noticed "Guest".  

D'oh!

Well, I tried Pyroedit 2. but it was a little too complex, IMO.  I use the first now and then.  :)smile.gif

Heh, I was guessing that psedo_randomist was an imposter.  It's psedo_randomist anyway (despite it being spelled wrongly).  :Ptongue.gif

I hoe it is an imposter, but for some reasons I feel it may be one of randomist friends

Well... I figured I might get demoted because of the misunderstanding on IRC last night. Basically, I said something in good spirits that apparently upset DJ. Before I had a chance to clarify my statement, DJ had already left the channel.

I thought I was a goner. :knight:knight3.gif

I'm glad it was solved afterward though, it was a misunderstanding of my part, and no you aren't a goner
