response 75 of 132: Mark Unseen   Nov 10 04:57 UTC 2003

I've unlocked the polytarp and dah accounts, and emailed the new passwords
for both to willcome.

And that's what I get for chasing away staff members, and DoSing the system
and blaming it on potentuak staff members.  (more than I started with).

Perhaps an unfortunate lesson for all concerned?

response 78 of 132: Mark Unseen   Nov 10 12:28 UTC 2003

I meant potential (impotent, importent) Board MEmbers.

response 79 of 132: Mark Unseen   Nov 10 18:24 UTC 2003

Perhaps.  But if no one is going to back me up in cracking down in
people who vandalize the system, I'm not going to bother.

I would agree with mynxcat.

response 82 of 132: Mark Unseen   Nov 11 01:25 UTC 2003

He didn't.  In fact, he did an awful job which he knew was awful.  And 
I'm preparing legistlation which'll make sure he's forced to resign 
because of it.

response 83 of 132: Mark Unseen   Nov 11 02:08 UTC 2003

Oh, screw it.

I'm actually so disgusted by Mary's comments on my action, that you don't
have to prepare any legistlation, polytarp.  I resign from staff as it is.

I'm sorry you dont have the right combination of thick skin and grasp of the
subtleties of balancing effective administration with respect for the rights
of idiots and assholes who abuse them anyway to stay on staff, Dan.  ;)

Please don't resign.

He already did, keesan, and good riddance.

(We've had other staff members resign and then change their mind.  There has
been no problem putting them back to work, when they are willing to help out.)

Nope.  cross is not allowed back.

response 90 of 132: Mark Unseen   Nov 11 04:34 UTC 2003

Dan, I'd appreciate it if you'd stay on the staff, too.  I think you 
contribute a lot.  Specifically, NextGrex needs you very much.

Don't listen to twirps, and don't let them drive you away.

RE #88: You really don't have any say in the matter of who is on staff and
who isn't.  And we won't allow immature little boys like you set policy here.

re 83 
My God, this really was a personal battle for you, wasn't it?  is this the
first time you've been involved with banning harmful users?  Is this the first
time you've been wrong?  Have you finally lost touch with reality;
specifically, the things you've either done wrong or right?

re 83 cross, in response 33 of this item you mention that constructive
criticism is "prefectly fine" with you.  But now you are saying you are
"disgusted" by Mrs. Remmers' response(s).  Please explain.

91: Why's cross on staff, then?

for starters .... he's better than you! s'nuff fer me. any queations?

response 96 of 132: Mark Unseen   Nov 11 11:47 UTC 2003

Oh for heaven's sake.  Cross, you are brand spanking new to
staff.  There is a learning curve.  You have some rough
edges.  None of this means you won't fit in nicely but
you'll need to ask some questions and listen to the answers
to make that process easier.

I'm not going to detail where I think this specific situation
could have gone better.  That would only feed the problem.
But the very first thing to keep in mind is not to take
it personal.  The second is that we have an open newuser
and that's non-negotiable.  So someone who is coming in and
dumping lots and lots of files and then going away will 
probably need a slightly different approach from someone who
is looking for lots of attention.

And I'll compliment you on this - you are eager and willing to
help out.  That's a huge plus right now.  But, at least in the
beginning, think it through and maybe ask those who have been
doing this a very long time if your plan is sound.

Actually we do on occasion site-block.  We feel shitty about having to do so,
but at times it has been necessary.

response 98 of 132: Mark Unseen   Nov 11 15:40 UTC 2003

I really have no say, but if you have a couple of kids coming on as newuser
and causing rtrouble repeatedly, you either report them to their authorities
- and who is really going to do that? - or you block their source. If what
someone said up there is tue - that at most 2 people came in via the blocked
sub-nets, then I think it was the right decision. Or spend valuable staff time
cleaning up after these vandals. And I think most people will agree that with
NextGrex on the charts, staff needs all the time they can get.

Cross, I hope you will reconsider your resignation also, but before
making any decisions, please be aware (as I'm sure you are, now if not
before) that being staff requires quite a thick skin.  

Think of it this way, cross.  Grex is currently under attack by a
different kind of vandal activity:  someone is using a social
engineering attack to try to drive away one of our newest staff members.
 Staff is one of grex's most important resources and certainly one of
the most scarce.  If you resign, the vandal will have seriously damaged
Grex.
