Quote:It appears the Snook wiped Crane off the boards as well. I would guess they found the 3 boxes of reputation he stacked up in a day's time a bit alarming.
If that's true, it sounds like a second documented offense, after the "tin foil hat" comments. A fair indication that Jerry meant none of his apology, and has broken the promise therein.
In any case, Cordovan is keeping up the tradition of using the report feature as a "click here if you're losing an argument you started" button.
Quote:We need to post this story somewhere else it will get picked up. Something like...
- a good blog post on the subject (suggest written by Hag)
- blog must be able to withstand a slashdotting (suggestions?)
- then submit it to the aggregators, reddit, slashdot, kotaku, ars, etc.
Write it up with a good clickbait title, the aggregators love that shit these days. The article submitted to the aggregators should link back to the vault and the shithole ddo forums.
We need to make Cuntovan a public liability to Turbine to put a stop to this shit. Seriously, we need to organise on this one.
I bet the same folks behind the "tin foil hat" protests would be happy to take up the cause. If Crane Mace can be contacted, to confirm the ban, that would be best. It really hurts a protest if the wind can be taken out by revealing Crane Mace deleted his own account. Otherwise, it seems to me that two goals are in order: 1, An apology from Cordovan for rashly banning Crane Mace. 2, Immediate lifting of said ban.
Secret third: Document the whole exchange. More examples will accrue. It's Cordovan, after all. With enough fully documented exchanges, Turbine can be forced to change their non-compliance with their own posted policies. Turbine does not GAF, but WB can be made to pay attention.
Cordovan is shit at his job, but I'm fairly sure that replacing him would be treating the symptom, not the cause. Oddly enough, it could be that he's shit at his job because he hates decisions forced on him by management. Nobody has any illusions about where he sits on the totem pole.
Crane Mace responded to a troll. That is a violation of the forum rules, but nothing close to bannable. A reasonable protest would center around the need for reasonable responses, such as a warning, instead of the egregious overreaction of banning. In no reasonable scenario does the troll receive a lighter punishment than the one baited.
