we need to talk about IP...

ok, as most of you are aware, recent happenings in OT have ruffled more than a few peoples' feathers around here, with some members of team CC resigning their positions in protest. while i think we can all agree that the loss of Mad & IP was a pretty big blow for the site as a whole, we must respect their decisions and try to move this place forward as best we can. whilst Mad has made a peaceful transition to CC "civilian life", IP has not - in fact, he's pretty much done the exact opposite. i must confess that i watched his meltdown with a mild amusement, but that all changed today when i went looking for the clan rankings. apparently, instead of merely abdicating his position of Clan Director he has taken down all his posts relating to that area of the forum in some sort of butthurt induced rage, claiming they are his "intellectual property" or some such nonsense. what in the actual f*ck??? i mean, it was one thing to take take potshots at duk & TeeGee and to post the dwindling # of users in the "CC is declining" thread, but to delete and deny access to all his old posts is tantamount to industrial sabotage, imo. why isn't he already guested for this type of behaviour?
makes no sense to me why BW & KA are allowing someone who is actively trying to destroy this place still be a part of it...*shrugs*

You realise nobody else in the CD team knows how to do the F400 rankings anyway right?

perhaps he could offer to show the new clan director(s) how to do them, instead of being a butthurt loser? food for thought...

Would you really guest IP after all he's done to CC, the clan community in particular?
And yes, with IP gone the rankings won't happen anyways.
I wish i could read some of those conversations between mgmt and rogue mods and why things escalated the way they did.
If BW really rubbed IP the wrong way that wasn t very smart. When you have volunteers that do so much work for your site for free, you can t act bossy, he s not your employee

Do you actually know the situation with the ranking system or are you just speculating? Regardless, if I'd invested so much time into this site as he has I'd be furious too. I'd be surprised if any other moderator in the history of CC has done more than Ice.
Also, the reasons for both IP and Mad stepping down aren't as simple as disagreeing with the trash can and how it was handled by certain moderators. It's also how they were both treated by other moderators behind the scenes for showing their disgust with the sub-forum and those who defended the racism. I have to be careful what I say though, I got a warning off Raz for calling TeeGee racist. The warning made it very clear that Raz is good friends and countrymen with TeeGee, which seemed to have a lot more to do with the penalty rather than what I'd actually said, especially since TeeGee himself never responded to any of the comments.

Lol it's a fucking nightmare. No cd would deddicate as much time as he did on it.
And if I were in his shoes, your comments would really not make me try to help.

That's because llama just likes to make passive aggressive comments at people and laugh to himself.

Aren't australians famous for their racism anyways? Maybe it's not teegee's fault if he's australian.

I think that's more to do with racism towards Aborigines, not just racism in general. I could be wrong though. I'm more amused that I got a warning for upsetting a mod's friend lmao. Lost complete respect for both of them. Raz and TeeGee that is.

Yeah but he'll never get what he wants when he makes that sort of comment. He'd never do what people ask him for if people talked to him like that too. So I just amazed by his lack of empathy or his stupidity there. Or maybe it's a mix of both things

I've heard some pretty wild stories from european tourists in australia... buses and shit where people made some unacceptable public shamings for speaking in other languages. But I guess that's not in the big cities.

This is where the racism comments stop.
Not that it is anyones business here, but my grandmother is an indigenous Australian and these remarks are actually very hurtful. The fact that IP did so much for the site is the only reason I did not apply any bans.
Caff on the other hand is very close to being removed, i think you need to look at the conditions of you being allowed to be here in the first place.
Icepack has used his free pass, he is just a normal community member like the rest of us.

I'm not sure if he just doesn't want to admit he actually cares about what happens here and so just keeps up the passive aggressiveness, or if actually doesn't care and just makes these posts to troll people.

I mean actions speak louder than words and this is the first response you've ever given me. Your buddy - of all people - issued me with a warning. Can I ask why you're friends with Xtra though if the above is true?

during any regime change, there is usually some sort of "handover" meeting or meetings - going over the troublesome bits of the day to day running of things, no? doesn't sound like this has happened in the Clan dept. does it? it's one thing to say "f*ck it, i've had enough of this shit", but to chuck a wrench into the gearbox on your way out the door is a bit of a dick move, imo.

Raz was the only global at the time that was able to issue the warning as Duka and I were the ones involved, so he issued the warning.. Does not take an Einstein to work that out.
How can I be friends with someone I have not met? Xtra is a team mate, we work with similar strategies. I do not judge who I play with, I play the game for fun.
My best friend is a conservative and as I call him a religious fanatic, I am a socialist and an atheist. We have some great debates over a few drinks. Tolerance is the key.

The ranking program likely still exists in his possession. Maybe we can cut a deal or make peace. Has anyone asked him?

Also, he might already be happy. The site is now ultra clean. The crackdown worked.

Lots of people have friends they've never met. It's ridiculous to suggest otherwise when we're on a gaming site that has forged countless friendships between people who've never met face to face.
You state tolerance is the key, but some things should not be tolerated whatsoever. Racism is one of them. I can't fathom why you'd happily team up with someone so openly racist and discriminatory as Xtra and believe that tolerating it is acceptable. I'm really not even sure what to say. You've literally just stated that tolerating racism is fine. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Literally just shot yourself in the foot. Twice.
