Title: Yet Again, Magic Being Magic
Post by: Sabb on January 06, 2011, 01:36:38 PM
So now Magic removes my thread about confronting him for giving me warning level for -1'ing Rocket one time in one day. With no warning.
And since when was -1'ing someones post a reason to give warning level?

I don't really care that I got warning level, doesn't mean much and Magic's given me it before for stupid stuff, but Magic, even though I do like him (believe it or not) is a terrible admin, and I feel it's kinda important for people to know this... considering it's been going on a long time. It's not only stupid shit on the forum that Magic has done either. Lots of stupid stuff with bans as well, which I don't really feel necessary to explain ATM.

There's also nothing showing that Magic moved or removed my thread and I'm not really sure why... but I'm absolutely certain that someone at least, if not Magic (pretty sure it was Magic for obvious reasons) removed it. Maybe coolz removed it and edited from logs or something idk?

It was probably removed due to the following reasons

1, Spam
2, No one cares
3, Things directed at a single member should be kept within PM's between the 2 members involved. Thats what the PM system is for!

I have talked to Magic in Steam about it plenty of times, but he's done stuff like this so consistently.

You don't seem to understand.
Magic ignores and/or deletes all attempts where you confront him with his bad admin decisions.
A supposedly bad admin is a serious issue that shouldn't be dealt with by going "buuhuu nobody cares".
Stop acting like you own the damn place.

don't make idiotic statments like that shawn, I think a lot of people care about it. If a thread is being spammed an admin usually just locks it, I have seen Magic lock it several times. If he didn't think his adminship was in jeopardy or he didn't feel he did something wrong he wouldn't have deleted the thread.

Did i state that was my opinion on the matter? No! i clearly said it COULD be for those reasons

And case and point about some people don't care you might want to read the thread, Deacon stated he doesn't care... Just because you care doesn't mean others do... out of a forum of what 300+ people you're assuming everyone cares! Now thats an idiotic statement to assume whats on others minds.


EDIT

Also i don't think anyone should be making a big deal at this point no one knows if it was Magic who deleted it Sabb even said he's not sure if it was him... So until people get some clarity on the subject on hand i think everyone just needs to take a minute and relax...

derp

you said it was probably removed for those reasons, implying that is your opinion. this thread isn't about us so stop directing shit towards each other other than the OP. And i would hope that our community would care about our administration and the decisions they make so makeing a generalized statement like that is fine in my opinion.

It's like you still haven't read OP.
I don't see anywhere that says this was Magic's first slip up, I'm fairly certain I said the opposite.

The only thing I'm refering to in my post is about him deleteing the thread last night.. no one even knows if it was him... I'm not talking about the stuff he did in the past...

Lets suppose it wasn't him then, he's still a poor admin and has been getting worse :l.
So far it seems like the majority of people agree.

I dont get how absolutely anything bad happens and you people go all out.

Peetah, I haven't explained everything that has happened with Magic, and even though his abuse is annoying as crap I still like him. It's just gone on for too long now, and everyone seems to just ignore it. I don't think it's because no one knows either, I think it's just cause people like him and don't want to offend him by confronting him with it or something. I honestly don't WANT to have to make threads like this about Magic, if I did want to I would have done it a long time ago around when it started.

well you never know someones intention when posting a thread like this, it could be just for informative reasons....
its just a post with information about an admin that has done something to someone or some people or something that he has seen happen that he believes shouldnt and that the community should know whats going on
Title: Re: Yet Again, Magic Being Magic
Post by: Peetah on January 06, 2011, 04:11:18 PM
If you think about it...
First he was watched due to abuse of respected system or something. Fine just say sorry and stop.
Making an entire thread and causing alot of commotion because one was watched.
Then making another thread because the previous one was deleted.
So basically the root was abuse of respected.
That ridiculous if you ask me. Magic only removed because it was that ridiculous.

Peetah you must be thinking of something different.
I never got a warning level for abusing respected or VIP if that's what you mean, though I was demoted for abusing VIP a while ago which I admitted to and took responsibility for, and it wasn't even Magic that did that.
The thread wasn't to complain about getting a warning level and being watched, I really don't care about that, if it was a ban from forums for -1'ing, then I would be making a thread to try and get it removed, but my intention of the two threads wasn't to just complain for the sake of it.
A lot of people don't realize what Magic does, and I guess you haven't either?
Magic has always abused really, but it's been getting worse recently. When I try talking to Magic about it he usually tries subtly changing the topic so he doesn't have to deal with it, where as on the forums any time someone (has been me recently) brings up Magic's poor decisions as admin, he will just remove that post and deny it.
He doesn't communicate at all what so ever in any way until you confront him directly, and I want people to see that Magic isn't a very good admin.
For example: a while back Magic was making a lot of stupid posts with just "XD" "lol", etc on it, and then he went and removed like 10 posts from 5 people in a thread that wasn't really even spam. I made a post in that thread (didn't make a new thread about it) saying that it was pretty stupid and unnecessary to do that, and literally 2 min later Magic removes that post. It was even on topic too, only one sentence of my post was talking about Magic. And the post wasn't insulting Magic either, just calling him out on his poor decision.

naw he was demoted cuz of abuse of vip
and you never know someones intentions until they tell you, you can easily assume someone wants to start a commotion and he made it cuz the thread disappeared :/ no one removed it, just disapepared off face of the pingas, and its not really ridiculous because if tehres a problem with an admin it should be posted and people should know

With respected he obviously means the respect system within the forums.

well if your assuming magic being demoted = magic being kicked out of community, your kinda wrong, if the only thing keeping him here is admin then really he shouldnt have that power anyway... cuz imho to be an admin youd have to want to do it for the games and community, not just cuz, or cuz you like having the power or what not...

As I said, I don't want to hold back just because I like Magic.
Magic used to help me a long time ago on wire and stuff, and he was extremely helpful and kind and I was actually really happy when he got admin, but it turned out that he's abusive. It's not that he just started to abuse, as I've said he's done it a long time, and it's progressing further so I felt people need to know about it.
If Magic gets demoted or not eventually oh well, the main purpose of sharing this stuff with the community isn't to specifically get Magic demoted, otherwise I'd be making it in a report and showing all the proof I've got.
There's good and bad to the situation as well, if Magic got demoted I mean. The good would be that there would be no more abusing Magic obviously, but then Magic may leave the community or may not, no one has control over that, and if he did get demoted based on people starting to realize what he's done, then he'd probably hate my guts more than he already does, and that's not my intentions either.

Magic ignores and/or deletes all attempts where you confront him with his bad admin decisions.
The way I see this is that person is deleting the thread beacuse
1. They don't wanna hear about it
2. Valid points are made, and is deleted because of fear of demote/argument
3. Magic isn't like this. This is just my opinion of a 'bad admin'

Lets suppose it wasn't him then, he's still a poor admin and has been getting worse :l.
So far it seems like the majority of people agree.

I agree slightly.
Me and Magic talk alot through facebook and such. I believe our friendship is well.

I noticed one time his attitude toward me was bad but it cleared up and was perfectly fine. Maybe just a bad day he had which is perfectly understandable.
Maybe you caught him on his bad day?

Magic has had his fall time. But he steadily is bringing it back to life. To a more professional level if you will.

As I said, I don't want to hold back just because I like Magic.
Magic used to help me a long time ago on wire and stuff, and he was extremely helpful and kind and I was actually really happy when he got admin, but it turned out that he's abusive. It's not that he just started to abuse, as I've said he's done it a long time, and it's progressing further so I felt people need to know about it. Never witnessed nor ever will
If Magic gets demoted or not eventually oh well, the main purpose of sharing this stuff with the community isn't to specifically get Magic demoted If not then why is there a thread that feels like an attack towards him? otherwise I'd be making it in a report and showing all the proof I've got.
There's good and bad to the situation as well, if Magic got demoted I mean. The good would be that there would be no more abusing Magic obviously, but then Magic may leave the community or may not, no one has control over that, and if he did get demoted based on people starting to realize what he's done, then he'd probably hate my guts more than he already does, and that's not my intentions either. if there are no intentions. Why is there a thread about his behavior and you don't talk on steam. not make a thread for others to read?
sorry if I sound like a dick.

Jets, talking to him over Steam is as useful as screaming at your coffee for 15 minutes.
He just ignores it, changes topic, goes "away", etc.
And if you confront him on the forums, he deletes your post/thread.
It's not only happening on bad days, it's happening over several weeks.

Sorry mate. Didn't realize it was several weeks. Haven't noticed anything is wrong him.

So, maybe Sabbath is partial truth but the direct attacks im not entirely sure.

All in all I'm hoping for the outcome to be just a simple misunderstanding and is resolved well. This is a great community for the years i've been here. I don't want to see any of us leave :\
