FAF mods are stupid, part 3000.
« on: October 19, 2009, 04:13:49 pm »
Vitae, an ex-admin, posts the following self-evident truth somewhere on FAF:
Quote from: Vitae
I wouldn't bother trying to help, every time someone does try they're just shunned and tossed into the garbage at the end.

This prompts tsawolf to make an oh-so-hilarious "joke post". First page screencapped here (4mb png) Second page, 6mb png.

The users rightly point out that this is unprofessional high-school popularity contest bullshit. I'm actually surprised that more than one person took this stance instead of trying to suck up to the adminship.

Dragoneer refuses to do anything for fear of causing drama:
Quote from: twitter
<Dragoneer> Man. I don't know whether or not I should write about this in an FA journal or just selectively delete everything from my mind. about 2 hours ago
<Dragoneer> @sagefreehaven I do, but I'm not sure if I can without getting into some serious drama. about 1 hour ago
<Dragoneer> Not having an opinion on this is worth more than a single person misinterpreting what I have to say. 30 minutes ago
... I'll just let that speak for itself.

Freehaven muddies the issue further:
Quote from: twitter
<sagefreehaven> @Dragoneer Well, you could at least remove that thread on FAF. Seriously, that's some incredible bullshit tsawolf's pulling. about 2 hours ago

Business as usual over there, but hey, it got me to break my semi-self-enforced hiatus. What I'd rather see is someone over there taking some responsibility and becoming accountable, but that's not really likely.

the face of your average FAF moderator white-knight suck-up.

Called it: Dragoneer's extra zany pop-culture reference: http://twitter.com/Dragoneer/status/5005560795 - a link to that xkcd about someone being wrong on the internet.

I just hit the "save" button in the screengrab extension for firefox. Quit whining.

Hm. Hm. Hm.
I feel like the FAF thread is a prime example of how to take the entire range of human thought, understanding, emotion, self, and depth back a few thousand years.

Why is it that a good majority of people can't see how worthless they are?
Furries need a guide to read on how to be a decent human being, how to interact with people, and how to respect the individual self that is EACH and EVERY person that exists with them on this planet. What has been done is -NOT- acceptable in -ANY- way.

Regardless of whether or not it was serious, a joke, or to troll for drama - NONE - of these reasons make it ok to make the thread that has been made.
Alas, as much as the situation upsets me, I feel quite happy knowing how long a road tsawolf has before him. It's a dark dreary road that spans an infinite distance - regardless of where he's at in life, he has MUCH to learn.

Being a furry is great because I get to have a totally cool character to relate with. It sucks a huge dick though that people in the fandom don't know how to work and improve on their individual personality in a social realm.

Thousands of terrible, scrubby, incompetent people all in the same place.  :-\

Looks like the forum members decided that tsawolf was being a little bitch through the poll as well.  When I last checked it yesterday in the early evening, "permanent usertitle" was still in the lead over "full pardon", but both were in the mid-30s in terms of votes; the poll was closed a little while ago, and "full pardon" had more than twice the votes of "permanent usertitle".

And ten bucks says Dragoneer never addresses this at all with the userbase, then gives tsawolf a gentle talking-to in private that ends with 'Neer apologizing for ever questioning tsawolf's logic and decision-making abilities.

EDIT:  'Neer says he's already bitched at tsawolf in FA's admin chat, but is currently debating what else to do.  So at least he recognizes that tsawolf fucked up.  Now to see if he'll actually hand out an actual punishment instead of just a stern talking-to.

Dragoneer is probably too busy with FF to care.

no, he's too intellectually lazy to develop an opinion for fear that it might lose him one of his only friends.
