The Information Desk: Ask questions about the site here!

[Prof Gallows]

You guys should probably just get that direct out there and get it overwith

The direct has more to do with actual site updates than it does what is being discussed in this thread. The only related thing you will see in it is the official announcement of ZR stepping down. So if any drama is still lingering it's because people are making it linger. As far as information on this situation goes, that's as much factual information there is on it.

 

[Bowie]

I believe I heard at some point that ZR was sick or something. Obviously you can't talk about that, but, is she all right?

Wow I can't believe I just bothered reading all this drama over a few IP addresses. Thanks to the mods and admins for being transparent on the situation once asked though. That is something you definitely wouldn't see on many forums.

 

[X2k5a7y]

Oh, man. This is like a magic trick. Watch one hand, while they do something with the other.
Just like the news...watch this Michael Brown case, and forget about the VA scandal, while it gets even worse.
Look. I'm not going to keep posting in here, because it's pointless.
Do what you will.
It's not about the IP addresses, and I'm going to leave it at that.

This is the second time you've said that it isn't about the IP addresses, but nothing else has actually occurred. You seem to be under the impression something besides this had happened but you're not giving us any hint as to what you're looking for. We can't give you an answer if we don't know what you're asking of us.

It's probably best not to mention it here and cause more drama, but I'd be more than willing to tell you in a private message, if you want to know.

dear staff, is there any chance of a new collectible coming out in the next 5 years

Stay tuned for our TBT Direct coming out soon. ;]

I agree that it's not about the IP addresses. It's more about the fact that a moderator, who is suppose to be above the fray and above gossip and should not be giving preferential treatment to one user versus another actually gave access to her account. So it's a breach of trust issue, really.

Having said all that, it seems that Jeremy and other mods have acted to remedy the situation. They couldn't have taken action without getting ZR's perspective, right? They needed time to investigate the situation, and to be honest, I don't know if they had an obligation to make the situation transparent. This is a private site, after all and Jeremy is not the government.

They have been pretty forthcoming about what went down so... in the end, I'm pretty satisfied with the situation. I guess I'm just a bit disappointed that the Easter Hunt was "tainted" a bit because the win wasn't clean, if you know what I mean. But that's been remedied too with the prize being taken away.

Thanks mods for explaining everything, I've been curious as to what the heck has been going on around here, and it's good to know.

Well...as it stands...I'm going to host a summer event in the next couple months (this wasn't for the direct so I can talk about it =p ) but I was having trouble picking out another event. If anyone has an idea for a summer event I'd love to hear them in a PM, if I get a lot of good ones I'll do a drawing for which one I'll do!

Tina shared your PM with me, but it's the same thing the user above you said. You don't actually have any additional information, correct?

This is basically what I was referring to in the first part of my post here. We can't respond to an accusation that doesn't actually exist. Someone is making threats that there is some deeper story? Yet no one knows what that is? That's exactly what I'm talking about when I say some people are making ridiculous statements in order to curate drama.

So Tina's post still applies to that.

People are accusing the staff of ridiculous things, yes. I was just trying to explain why everyone was still so suspicious after you guys had answered our questions, 'cause it seemed like some of the moderators here hadn't heard of it, at least to my knowledge.

Even worse, there isn't an accusation, just a threat of one that someone might bring up apparently. It seems silly just talking about it.

Can you make the woods skin available for 50 tbt a months pls

They claimed to have proof of their little threats being relevant but refuse to show it due to concerns for the privacy of those who supposedly submitted it. There's not much else I can say about them other than that they're pathetic and clinging to the nearest batch of fresh drama they can dig up.

I hope it's something like we hide an angry grizzly bear and release it on troubled users. That would at least be a lot easier to respond to than nothing at all. It's probably even a saner sounding statement.

Agreed.
