A Note On User-Banning
Now, don't get me wrong - the silencing thing is alot more effective than banning, purely because of the psychology of it. However, troubles arrise when you fail to check the permissions assigned to the 'silenced' user group and accidentally give someone you were trying to ban access to the Staff forum and the information contained therein.

Unfortunately for me, you guys are quite disciplined when it comes to not posting FTP passwords in the Staff forum. During my admittedly casual searching, I found not even a vague reference to what someone's password may have been.

Unfortunately for you, I don't need FTP passwords to **** with you:

link removed

Only the first 6 pages (my wrist got kinda stiff), but you get the idea.

And on a more personal note, the entire Staff forum is like a ****ing Pussies Anonymous meeting. Seriously, you people ***** and whine and act like little goddamn girls in there more than I do on IRC at 3am after a bottle of whiskey (5-pages of monologue, anyone?). Though after having been 'silenced' for saying Steak was a member of NAMBLA (OooOOoh! So evil!) I probably should've been expecting that.

Some other issues I have with your methodology are the removal of my ability to PM from the 'an0n' account - which is a pain in the ass. I'm like 95% sure there's a PM in there from Marauder, and I can't read it.

And finally, I apologise to Sandwich for anything contained within the files I have linked to, which makes public any of his private views. I say this because he's the only member of the Administrative staff who isn't a complete tool. The rest of you can go **** yourselves with some sharp metallic impliment of non-descript design.

*adds Goober to his List™ and goes to post the files on NW*

NAMBLA? Worst reason for an0n [l]banning[/l] spanking, ever. :blah:

Although, this'll probably make up for any lack of proper reasoning.

EDIT: Also, :lol: @ goob for the real reason of the avatar ****age. :lol:

Indeed.

On a related note, I searched for most of the NW Crew's usernames in the Staff forum and I was the only person of interest. Everyone else has 1-2 mentions, but mostly mundane stuff like Post Reports and random snippets.

Most heavily featured seems to be: an0n, Razor, Stealth, Vadar_1, DG

All of which are eclisped by the circle-jerk of the admins giving each other moral support and saying they love and admire each other.

Bwuahahaha!

I also now have access to VW Allumni, FS+ and all the campaign internals.

****ing morons.

I've told 'em about 50 times to check usergroup permissions before moving/banning/silencing me, but they never listen.....

Haven't you anything better to do?

....no, I have nothing better to do.

Secondly, I have access to Grognards on this account for some reason.

And an0n still has access to all the admin forums and most of the internals.

...this account has access to even more internals than the an0n account.

Then post in the "requests" thread that we remove access and we'll get around to it when we can, or PM one of us and we'll take care of the problem.

No, I'm not joking :)

In the mean time, do stop spamming the forum. I have to head back to Uni in a second and I'd hate to be the one who cleans it up if it's a mess when I get back to my computer there.

See my comment in your other thread. I believe Fattony does have PM capability. Go ahead and use it to PM one of us with this.

...you could just leave one of the threads open and everyone could brainstorm on fixing the problem.

Styxx is probably the only one who can fix this on his own, so PM'ing any other admin would be useless, and PM'ing Styxx would mean waiting a month for a response.

Be a good chap then and post a detailed explanation of the problem in the requests thread... admins and you can edit that post as need be - no need for all these one sentence topics.

If that doesn't take your fancy - at least post one detailed thread. All these one sentence things do sod all and I'll be deleting them when I get back to my Uni room (if it hasnt been done already).
