Should Ephialtes' adminship be taken away?

Author Topic: 2nd petition to revoke Ephialtes' adminship  (Read 48742 times)

It'd be better if you took that up with him via PM, but it's because he's using a different registered account.
Why are there so many trinicks but no ban posts?

I don't understand why Kalphiter is so hostile to the community and the people who run it - without this forum he'd have one big server bill with no clients to pay it.

Unfortunately, not only was I there, I was talking to Ephialtes the entire time. You're warping the truth, the first one was created, which Ephialtes locked, then about three popped up at the exact same time so Ephialtes locked two of them, then someone made a new one, which he also locked. In case you can't do math, that leaves one open. Maybe he was overstepping his bounds to have locked the first drama topic about himself, but that definitely wouldn't qualify as losing his stuff.
How do you suppose Ephialtes crashed servers? Here's your opportunity to tell the world, he's not going to delete your stuffposts here. You know why? Because this is the right spot for them, not the RTB topic.
When did he even imply anger? Regardless of their offensive nature, they were off-topic to the RTB topic and were going to start a flame war. Ephialtes is actually being a responsible admin by removing them, he's moderating user interaction to prevent flame wars.
Do you know what an Ad Hominem argument is? You're using this logical fallacy everywhere. In an academic setting, your argument would actually be thrown out as invalid for doing this. Anyway; talking about the failures of the service is on topic. stuffposting about them, however, is not. To an autistic person like you, they may seem like the same thing. I can't blame you for not understanding, I sympathize with your disorder. However, for the rest of us, we understand a hidden message inside other messages. Some stuffposts are messages that contain flaming as a hidden message, and since most of us can understand this, people are quick to polarize and argue. Removing these stuffposts but leaving criticism is a method of allowing proper feedback, yet removing the argument factor.
No, he did not.
I'm still waiting for a real scenario where Ephialtes actually lost his stuff. I'm not seeing anger as a motive for any of these acts.

Well said. Well said.

Because Badspot needed lunch so he forced Slick to buy another key.

Dude.
I like Trinick.
He's like, Destroyer's twin brother or something.

A history full of abuse. This thread was created after Ephialtes locked and bumped down (removed most recent posts to create a page loss) a thread complaining about his exploit abuse. I had logs and everything to support my case, but Ephialtes consistently deleted the most crucial part, his IP.
This is in the OP, please read before posting.

Preventing "flame wars" is mostly a bullstuff idea and only upheld by suckers like you and Ephialtes who need means to defend injustice and criticism.

Not sure where the fallacy is.
That's funny, because once I was the only person to report a lag issue and I was silenced pretty quickly. That's not stuff-posting, or it is at least stuff-posting in Ephialtes' eyes because the lag was never acknowledged.

There are tons examples like that, explore the ones beyond what's in the OP.



^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Why are you in such a crusade Kalphiter? Do you think Badspot values your lengthy posts full of evidence or your opinion at all? Doubt it.

Face it, Ephi deals with so much bullstuff on these forums, he does a good job as a moderator.

Holy stuff, Kalphiter /thread'd.

It looks like we hit a turning point. Now, it's been acknowledged as evidence and that I'm going a great length to prove something that is definitely supportable. You moved to the argument "no one cares, so why bother?" Don't you dare bring up with what Ephialtes deals with, that's not related? If he were a good moderator, he would not be on an abuse rampage like he has been for a few years.

Kalphiter just be happy he doesn't delete your kaphost thread and make you incapable of making a new thread.

Uh, Kalph? It looks like none of the "evidence" or "incidents" you mentioned were more than a year old.

Place your bets, folks! It's Trinick vs Kalphiter, the subject is Ephialtes!

First one; the one he locked. Second one; a revival of the first one. Third one; a recreation of the first two. You're right, they weren't posted at the same time, but they were essentially the same topic. So, yes, while you were more correct on the recollection, you made no point to argue besides "my recollection was more accurate." Grats on the better memory of unimportant drama events.

These are the topics that were created at the same time from my post. They were all created within 5 minutes of eachother, so Ephi locked two and left one as the "main" topic. Aside from leaving out two topics that were duplicates of the first, I don't see where I was wrong.

Well first off that's a purely subjective idea. Second, no it's not. He's trying to conduct business in that thread. Go walk into a local business establishment and get the entire place to brawl. If you don't get kicked out, massive props to you. I'll tell you you're right. Actually, you'd probably be banned for life, so Ephialtes is doing you a favor.

Not sure where the fallacy is.

Well, first off the fallacy. You're directly attacking me, instead of my argument. You're saying I'm uniformed, I'm ignorant, and I'm bad at research. It's a fallacy because that's irrelevant to the quality of my argument. Second, your post about the lag issue was a stuffpost. If you'd said, "I'm getting lag problems on XXX's server on NY0Y, do your logs reflect this?" instead of saying "Uh oh, looks like NY0X is lagging out!" or whatever you said, the post would not have been deleted. Again, I can't blame you for not being able to tell the difference but trust me, there is one. Maybe if you look up word connotations you may be able to understand a little.

They're all stuffposts.

If you'd said, "I'm getting lag problems on XXX's server on NY0Y, do your logs reflect this?" instead of saying "RTB dedicated hosting service is having issues again!" or whatever you said, the post would not have been deleted.

Updated with the actual quote, because I found it actually made a stronger argument than the one I synthesized.

I just want Badspot to intervene on this really badly.  I think the only way for Kalphiter to just shut the forget up is if he finally gets a slap in the face from Badspot saying "you were stuffposting, he was cleaning up your stuffposting".

I would laugh incredibly hard if this happened.
