Fixed it. His account is now active and a plain old user.

Going to see if I can figure out a couple of other bugs.

I told Mordib I wouldn't play about with the live database, but you know it's just too much hassle to create a duplicate. :twisted:

@Yi:
This thread was deleted at Brad's request.
As it was started by him (and since he was the only one who could contribute to it), there was no reason to keep it.

Lourdes · Post by **Lourdes** » 27 Mar 2008, 20:55

Everyone is the same colour now, except the admins in bold. There must have been some old user rank which caused older accounts to be at a different user level - although they had the same permissions as anybody else, fixed that.

All done and I demoted myself. Think I've forgotten the cpanel password already to boot.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 27 Mar 2008, 20:57

That's right. We used to have a problem with some specific usernames.
We had 15 mods at one point.

Thank you Lourdes.

This thread will now be moved into "Bullets Feedback", where it belongs.
It won't be locked, but I'd appreciate it if members could just let it sink.

Yet the evidence points otherwise:

I had ample opportunity to at that time to remove Tom as a Mod. I can tell you some other facts:

* It was I along with Toge who recommended Tom be a Mod.
* It was I who asked Mordib to give Tom access to the Admin Panel which he didn't have when he was first Mod and couldn't have done what he did without it.

I'll give you another fact:

* Tom could've chosen to contact Mordib before he did anything so Mordib could've altered my account without causing any extra problems, instead he chose otherwise and caused extra unnecessary strife. After the fact I never cared much about no longer being a moderator. I knew it was likely that would come to an end sooner or later, one way or another.

I was actually more concerned about not having access to 6 years of words written by me. I hate the idea of not having access to words I've written.

As to overreacting, don't you think considering your recent outburst you're being just a little hypocritical? Not for being angry in the first instance (that was understandable) but for quite how angry you got, then still being angry after I apologised several times afterwards.

saltysam wrote:if Bradavon had stepped down when he should have done this wouldn't have happened.it's unfortunate but he should take some of the blame due to his stubborness Grim.

Actually not so. If I had demodded myself I would have likely come across the same problem. The option to demodded myself is the same one Tom used.

Didn't your Mummy ever tell you what assumption accounts to?

Ricochan38 wrote:it looks as if brad is very angry...why are all his posts empty?

Well I was extremely angry when I found out but I have since calmed down and to give Tom his dues after the fact he has been very good about it all.

As to my posts: I was using an account which wasn't mine and Tom will soon delete. Meaning I don't have access to my words and I didn't want to have words I'd written being online but not having access to.

Just like 100% of the words we've all used on this subject over the past 2-3 weeks, none of it was ultimately important and thus none of it needed to stay.

It maybe an idea to lock it. Purely because none of us will be able to resist replying and I can see this going on for the next week. Especially when it's been the most active topic weeks, covering 26 days, 4 threads, 291 posts and has been viewed 2528 times

What was it? Somewhat ironically I know a little bit about SQL myself.

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 27 Mar 2008, 23:29

Ofcourse I notice the disappearance...

You start a thread as a mad, raving loony, insulting and bitching about us, throwing around pretty harsh words, and we took the time and effort to reply... so I dont think it should then just be deleted because the topic-starter has a change of heart and wants his comments to be deleted and forgotten.

Plus... I felt it was quite a fun thread, so I sincerely feel it's a shame that it's now lost so I cant read it all back again with enjoyment....

Once you post an opinion, or whatever, it shouldnt just be deleted just because after a while you come to your senses. At least, that's my opinion on the matter.

Anyway, sad to see that thread gone. As I said, I liked it.

Why was he the only one who could contribute to it? Didnt I and Lourdes already contribute to it? And others as well?

It's good a job you're not a mod and no one was asking your opinion then, isn't it

. People could post all manner of disgusting and illegal shit, and you'd not do anything to stop them

Actually, we never agreed anything like that...
I remember me saying having no problems with you as a member, but having problems with you as a mod, and I welcolmed Tom's action and I welcomed you to the board, and you basically acted like a huge dick, calling us all names, accusing us of all kinds of stuff, etc etc.

Obviously, that thread is now completely gone, so I guess I'm just lying about that ...(!)

Nope, I've already explained what I think the job is of a moderator, which IS (among other things) to remove all kinds of disgusting and illegal shit. So I would have removed that crap, if it was posted. No one would have a problem with that.

Now... I admit your posts were borderline disgusting, and kinda pathetic, but 1 user flying over his handlebars, drooling with madness and anger, and basically making a fool himself, doesnt mean that I would find that a reason to delete that posts, especially not when others (like myself and Lourdes) have already responded to your wild rants, in a pretty decent and polite manner, making light of the situation (cause, TBH, it was kinda hilarious

), etc.

So no, I wouldnt have deleted that, even if the topicstarter would have requested it.

I dont think that 1 day you can post all kinds of stuff about people, insulting them, accusing them etc, and the next day just having it all removed and acting like it never happened. That's not how it works in the real world, and that isnt how it should work on a messageboard.

When a user spouts abuse against other users, be it right or wrong, it should just stay there for people to read, and to react to... so they know what kind of persons we are, and what our feuds and fights are all about.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 28 Mar 2008, 00:43

I was refferring to you agreeing to Tom's request on Page 1 of this thread. As to the rest of your post I've not read it and have no intention of doing so.

Why? Because I already know what it will say and you already know what I'd say on such a subject. Any further talking of the subject will just merely repeat words we've both said many times before.

I am going to completely ignore your words such as "acted like a huge dick" as I know what you say is partially correct. I also know I could accurately say very much the same about you. But like I said that would just be a repeat of what I have already said and you already know. So I will not be doing that or responding to you.

Tom has asked we let the whole entire subject now disappear (he used the word sink) and I would have to agree.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 28 Mar 2008, 10:32

@Yi:
Here's my point of view:
-Brad created the "I've had enough of Yi and Lourdes" thread when he was extremely angry (rightly so).
-He knows very well that it is inappropriate for a user to complain about another user by creating a brand new thread.
-But you can't exactly blame him for forgetting that bit (he had only just found out that his powers had been removed and his old account got locked).

So yes, I've agreed to delete that thread.
I believe that any member has the right to ask for his words to be removed, provided that he wasn't in a healthy emotional state when he wrote them (completely drunk, on drugs, or super-angry).

Maybe I (or even Bradavon himself) could have simply emptied the first post of that thread (that would have been well within his rights as thread-starter), but the thread would have lost its purpose anyway.

This thread will remain open if you want to reply.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 28 Mar 2008, 10:57

Me too.

I said to Tom I think all these Brad-Boiling threads should be locked. For no other reason than the discussion is likely to meander on for weeks otherwise, when there is nothing of value anyone can still possibly have to add, but I respect his differing opinion not to want to do so.

It's all done and dusted as far as I'm concerned. Life is way, way too short really.
