Pinkuh is finally forced out by or as a result of Sciggles

[a pigeon]

The swivel-eyed obese creature known as Pinkuh has lost her FA IRC channel ops and is now completely quit of being FA staff. She resigned as an admin some time ago, but clung onto ops in the FA irc channel so she could still have some targets for her piggy tantrums. Her journal:

I am no longer part of FA staff at all in any way shape form or fashion!

so long and godspeed!

From the comments:

Considering your track record, thank god.

Now we just need to take care of the fact that a fiance is in a position of considerable power without being qualified for it.

Pinkuh's response:

Yeah well, that's what got me removed from staff.

People thought I didn't fight the good fight, but you know? A lot of my track record was created by Dragoneer specifically so he could have a focus on something other then him when the bad calls had to be made. When I was finally no longer part of the main site staff (by my own choice) he didn't have that wall anymore and it just about broke him. All The focus on the site being fucked turned from me to him.

Now it's turned from him to Sciggles, so he has his shield... we will see how long this keeps up.

I'm liking the fact she claims that Dragoneer created her track record so as to distract people from how awful he was. No, I think she was and is solely responsible for her awful reputation, and the idea that not having her as an admin "broke" him is nonsense: he was always broken.

A stopped clock is right twice a day, so it is no surprise that Pinkuh wanted Sciggles out and given that Sciggles is now riding high in the saddle no surprise that it was the little-loved Pinkuh who was pushed out.

On one hand, I'm happy the hambeast is gone...on the other hand she's being replaced by a much, much worse individual who clings to the fact she's Neer's fiancee to gain great ammount of power on FA and incite drama for her own amusement and to get people banned.
We got rid of lesser evil and got a bigger one in return.

Kinda like the whole primaries thing going on in the US right now.

But either or, who is capt'n purple gonna replace that Pinkuh one with?

[ProvincialTwit]

With whoever Sciggles tells him to.

Actually I can kind of believe this, to a point. Dragoneer totally seems like someone who would make a scapegoat out of someone else just so he wouldn't have to face people. Though I imagine it had started with Pinkuh fucking up a lot, and then when anything else went wrong, they just pointed the finger at her, regardless of her involvement.

So I'm thinking a bit of both.

[Jim Demintia]

Yes, it's the classic NO ONE IS RIGHT HERE thing you encounter so often in furry. Pinkuh was, and is, a giant fuckup, and Dragoneer, being the slightly malicious dimbulb he is, probably learned somewhere along the line that he could use her as a scapegoat.

I guess now that she's no longer staff she no longer has to be afraid of losing her position for leaking state secretsinformation about what's going on behind the scenes.

they have not brought on more staff to handle tickets... they have "Talked" about it, but in the end Dragoneer brought on sciggles, and no one else.

This goes against what the staff were saying when Sciggles was made admin. So it seems that not only was Sciggles made admin against what Dragoneer has said in the past, the staff were either lied to or were lying about the presence of new staff that did not actually exist.

Keep it classy, FA.

Not only that, but now theres even less admins now than before Sciggles was brought on, what with Qoph and now Xipoid either quitting or being removed.

Though them being deadmined might not have anything to do with Sciggles, it just doesn't look good in general, time-frame wise.

Someone asked about this on FAF.

Talking to a few people right now, and have three people who have accepted. They will be coming on in roughly two weeks time.

Fourty minutes later two weeks becomes

They will be brought on once I have a chance to revise some documents, and I've had a chance to talk to a few other candidates I'm looking into.

And then we get this.

Most of the documents are already re-written, and will go to review for site staff tomorrow. Some others will go up later this week/early next week depending on my schedule. As for Sciggles, she was brought on because I can trust her. I knew she'd do the work, and we can interface with one another to get progress made. She WANTS this site to be better, and is working towards that. In the past 90 days, she's done almost 1,000 tickets (more than any other admin) and has put forth an effort to help coordinate and bring better clarity to rules and polices (given she really doesn't agree with a lot of them).

I want to clarify communication on the back end of FA, fix a few loopholes and improve our policies before bringing new people on. There's no point in bringing new people on, training them, when some of the policies will be changing a few days later.

We need new admins on the site. We need more people on Trouble Tickets. And that's one of my focuses right now.

Which makes it sound like Sciggles is not just creating "guidelines" anymore, she's graduated to full-on rule writing.

For what it's worth, 1000 tickets over 90 days is only an average of 11 tickets a day.

Okay, where the fuck did he get 90 days from? Sciggles became admin around January 17th, so from then to today is around 47 days. Does the 90 days account for possible backseat adminning or what?

Qoph is on a leave of absence; I resigned. To my knowledge, neither Sciggles nor her situation have any involvement in either case.

To be fair, every member of the staff that wants to be is involved with rule writing; It's effectively an open discussion, rather informal, and completely voluntary. There is no team or unit that deals specifically with creating new policies and rules or drafting up their text. In addition, there really is no hierarchy within the staff, so there's nothing to be promoted to. You are either a coder, an admin, and an owner. I suppose one could move between the three, but I wouldn't call that a promotion per se. That, quite frankly, is only what I have taken away on the matter.

Out of curiosity... If you were still an admin, how much would you have shot yourself in the foot by posting here?

One or two posts of the nature in which I have already posted, not at all. (This occurred; see my first post on this site)
Numerous posts of said manner, quite likely.
Post(s) that undermine/deride FA or its staff, severely.

As far as I can assume, at least.

I guess I'll be the one to ask. What made you jump?

[Xipoid]

A combination of things that are necessarily related.

1. The block of time I was able and willing to dedicate to FA and all its little issues continually shrank. It reached a point where I could not in good faith maintain the position with how little I was actually contributing. I did attempt to stay for a bit to see if I could allocate more time and effort in the near future, but that did not occur. Thus, I surrendered my position as I was not fit to perform the duties it called for. It would have been irresponsible to hold onto it in spite of this.

2. In conjunction (or the cause of 1.), FA slid down my list of priorities until it reached a point where I was no longer concerned enough to give it any kind of honest or due consideration. This was both due to influences independent and directly derived from FA. My life, staff, users, that sort of thing.
