any flaming or bashing going on. Perhaps an increased distrust towards the Mods Council of Command but no abuse to the player in question. I see people calmly stating that they don't agree with her being let back. Neither for her ingame or forum actions. Mordack is correct in his statement that she abused the trust of this community.
Not one respondee has called Elladan any names. We don't like the situation and we have mentioned it. Is that no longer allowed under this Brave New World? Don't nanny us in the name of protecting us. Most people here are capable of having a rational discussion, especially now that time has passed. I am insulted that you think so little of us quite frankly.
well, what if flaming wasn't the only reason the mods couldn't tell you? what if telling you would violate a mod rule for privacy of the users?
from my previous experiance i know that such a rule exists. and would be one of the main reasons why telling you, would be a BAD thing. BW didn't appear to like that side of the rule, thus broke it, and left the mods.
so, tell me, would you rather have your privacy broken, by a mod who got that info by abusing their power? or would you rather the mods do nothing and let you yourself tell people both in your own time, and own way.
the real truth of the matter many of you probably don't know, is that the mods WERE doing something, they were attempting to have jadzia tell you herself, that she was Elladan. and she was trying to, but it was assumed not everyone would be cool headed if she just came out and said it. that was my advice, and judging from BW's reaction, i was partially right.
i talked to her about it several times, due to my friendship with her.
so, steps were taken to inform the community, but the problem of privacy infringement was something some wanted to ignore.
also, for those who are wondering. the story of her choice to do that, is because a friend of hers went into a coma first, then eventually died, and as a way of dealing with the grief, suggested by a doctor to write down the story in a reflecting light... she did. on these forums, with her as the central character. eventually, yes, she realised it was a bad idea, but by then, it was almost already out. once it was discovered, many people DID hate her for it.
i know she was banned from the forums without a valid rule violation(which is differant than tok`ra cause he broke many rules)
she was banned ingame for multi'ing, and then, later unbanned by intercession from someone the administration trusts.(which i've done in other cases before) on a condition that IF she did it again, she WOULD be permabanned from the game/forums.(and as a side effect breaking whatever trust i had left in her, and ending our friendship)
then i, as head admin of the time, felt it reasonable that since NO rules were broken by her on the forums,(deceit is not covered under "abusive language") and that the ingame administration had seen fit to give her a second chance, i would give her one on the forums as well.
