Glaive's gone.

I thought Glaive would be able to cope with a small embarrassment and move on but he couldn't.

Most people wouldn't consider being publicly cucked a small embarrassment.

Many people would consider it a grave wound to their dignity and hold an enduring grudge.

Which apparently is exactly what happened.
 
If this thread has proven anything, it's that creating drama (or even the conditions that allow drama to be sustained) never leads to anything productive. Nobody's mind has been changed and everyone who has seen this thread (including newly registered users or even unregistered lurkers since you don't even need an account to view this subforum) has been exposed to dirty laundry that, let's be honest, should never have been aired in public. I know that Null considers this kind of thing a way of showing his general forthrightness in dealing with inter-forum gossip, but really, trashing a former staff member in a public venue is never a good look, unless that person did something extremely bad in an extremely visible way, like mass-banning people.

i always thought he makes these things public so he doesn't get bombarded with "hey faggot you banned my favourite poster why did you do that"

i think it might be best to implement something like a "ban reason" feature to shut these people up.

I doubt that would help. Most of the Fggts here just ask questions first and look later. It's part of the reason drama goes on for so long. As soon as it all starts to calm down, someone else logs in and immediately asks "hey what happened?" Only to be redirected to a thread that they could have easily found. The sheer mention of "what happened" immediately brings everyone back to that topic for another two hours. Repeat process.

Seems to me like something like that should be handled on a need-to-know basis. If you're friends with Glaive, Null or any of the other people specifically involved, then you'll find out anyway through whatever channels you normally use to socialize with them. If not, then is it really any of your business anyway? Maybe part of the problem is creating an environment in the first place, by making threads like this for example, where people feel entitled to know all the backstage drama even if they're only peripherally involved.

You're right about allowing for ban reasons on the profile though. That could help to mitigate unnecessary drama and gossip, though again, if you've created a forum full of nosy motherfuckers who need to know everything, maybe it would just pique their interest and make them ask even more questions. I don't know.
 
Glaive was never a dick to me. He helped me out with things & was super-nice. But alas.

I also never got a chance to make a new avatar for him, since the last one he had was made by SVP & he didn't want to be reminded about that. He didn't seem particularly bitter about it, & this was fairly recently. I guess I was wrong.
 
Ultimately, @Null is in charge and needs to use his best judgement on who is on staff. It would not be right for him to have someone on staff who he feels is untrustworthy and dishonorable. From a user perspective, this is a good thing due to the damage a rogue mod can do and the conduct of the staff and mods is a reflection on :null: as well. There did need to be a statement made as mods and staff are visible users and people will start asking questions. Without an explanation made rumor and speculation will run wild. However, there is a balance that needs to be made between too much and too little information since both can be as equally as damaging. This could have been handled better, but what is done is done and the genie is out of the bottle.

There is always two sides of a story and I would like to hear :glaive:'s side before forming my own conclusion. I did not know the chain of events that lead to :glaive: becoming a mod as I do not follow wizardchan drama. For me this drama came out of nowhere.
 
the proof is not in the Bloodletting thread
Oh oops. I never released this album to protect the parties involved and to help curb embarrassment with Glaive. No staff is unaware of this, so that's a fib, but this is the encounter attached. It's a series of PMs that I can only describe as cringeworthy. I've heard from Snakes on other accounts that she would tell people Glaive is her boyfriend an admin and thus they should do what she says.
