I'm sure everybody would like to know exactly how and why our democratic process has been undermined, and under what circumstances the populace agreed this could happen, and why those circumstances are apparently applicable now. Why could we have not just had an Admin election?
Even if you are happy with the appointment, I think it would be prudent to let everybody know the answers to these pressing, important questions.
Would also like to know how Albino got admin when he didn't even get enough yes votes on the ballot last time to even get on staff. Also considering how many no votes he got on all his initiatives I question how effective he'll be for the community.
Albino never fucked up before.
oh wait.
I'd like to know as well, the staff forum discussion literally went from brainstorming various options (none of them Albino) to "Hi guys, I'm Albino the new administrator."
Exactly, even if an emergency admin appointment is necessary (and we've been given no reason to believe it is), why albino considering he failure to gain support last election?
I asked Piney to make me admin, as there was no one active to make sure the supermoderators weren't abusing their powers. He did this through the charter, using his ability to ensure the enforcement of the rules of the charter. I'm an administrator at his behest and only as long as he decides I'm doing ok. I'm not going to go making major changes to anything, all I want to do is make sure no staff members use their position to intimidate other users and derail discussion. They're here to keep things from being a mess, not to intimidate other clocks.
I'm sure there will be people who will be skeptical of this, but I hope that I can prove I'm up to the job and won't make a mess of things myself. Piney trusts me enough to give it the green flag, and I don't ask that you trust me, but that you wait to see what happens. I'm sure many of you won't, and I certainly won't retaliate against those who express those opinions. At any rate, have at me.

Yea there's literally a vote in Grid to make Topcatyo interim admin. Idgi
Obviously there are some concerns about Smod abuse considering all the recent bullshit, but from what I could tell there weren't enough bad vibes about the whole thing to consider it an emergency situation. It seemed to a me a vocal few, I think yourself included (correct me if I'm wrong) were the ones who thought there was a problem with Smod abuse.
Taking your word as fact however, and also taking as fact the need for an emergency Admin, I see no reason that admin should be you.
Furthermore, I see no reason an emergency Admin should not merely be an interim staff member while we conduct an election for a permanent member.

i.e. weasel your way into power to carry out an initiative that pretty much tied in voting about some non-urgent issue? I'm a little disappointed in you Albino.
The plot thickens...

I agree, this was a shady, back-door way of doing things. Not to mention it seems to specifically be due to the whole war against Corpse.
I am a little disappointed in Piney, too, sadly. I'm surprised he would have done something like this.
Quote from: weenie roast;1881590Fuck politics guys
Make me admin, please, so I can make sure other admins don't abuse their power. Thanks.
To give him the benefit of the doubt, Piney hasnt been active for a while, certainly not during the recent drama, and the situation could have been conveyed to him as more urgent than it really was
Sorry but this is kind of like John Boehner running the EPA. Also considering how many ways Albino has tried to get back on staff, and the way he's behaved about it in the past I am very suspicious.
This seems like a good time for a database backup.

Good idea, I'll make one.
We need someone to keep all these guys in line.. mmm who is the most stable, least likely to go crazy and trustworthy guy i know?
Yeah, I can't even make a backup let alone fuck anything up badly enough that we'd need one.

Stepping back from the conversation at hand; I think
this is a good idea.
Topcatyo would be a good admin. He's been around for a long time, and he's very level headed.
this is news to me when did this happen?
it was me idid it
Thanks biggs.
the ultimate troll is complete
the tension in this thread is inspiring
democracy over; we never used it anyway
cannot compute
Well this is unexpected...
I don't like it, but whatever.

Well, to be fair, we didn't do this . I think pretty much everyone in this thread has been surprised by the change.
Nothing really worth leaving for, really but if you want to I can't stop that.
I say we let Albino Clock runs things in the meantime so long as things don't go haywire like people seem to assume they will, and we get a ballot together for the admin spot?
Demod ribs, deadmin albino, make me video game mod and admin topcat.

nooooo don't go. that's the last thing the clockcrew needs is cool people leaving. please don't go god damnit.
concerning albino getting admin, it would have been nice if this was put up to a vote. i know pineapple's purpose is to make sure that people don't get out of line, but administering albino without a vote from the general consensus will just be causing more problems than it would solve, resulting in people getting upset and questioning if the democratic system we put in place even works.
I don't even care anymore
OK, I believe I just said "yeah" when I should of said "we need to do this democratically", so let's do this democratically. I hope there's no problem with deadminning Albino and then we can do this democratically.
SORRY ALBINO - i was being lazy
I read that as Dead mimming.
And thus ends the reign of Albino Clock. It was a short reign, even by Clock Crew standards.
and my prediction of the clock crews shortest admin reign has come true
THE PROPHECY FULFILLED
Viva la Revolution!
Let's make kodiak admin next.
Who wants to share some anekdotes about their time under Albino's reign.
Put me on the ballot, nobody will vote for me probably and i like everyone so if i win its a win win win situation.
Flex
Quote from: PirateClock;1881685Who wants to share some anekdotes about their time under Albino's reign.
I said god was real in the debate forum once and he demodded me.
I wouldnt ban anyone ever if i get elected
For me, i remember reading Albino's promotion. Jacking off to some lesbian bdsm porn involving strap-ons and something called a "Sybian". Comming back, reading about Albino's demotion and responding to it.
Good times.

it was just everyone saying how much they hated the new guy in charge, taking petty potshots at each other, and leaving the clock crew because it was ruined forever.

Albino became admin, banned any pro religion posting, demodded you, and made the frontpage a picture of you being crucified with Albino stabbing you with the lance of longinus. Then he disappeared for six months playing WoW. You've been asleep a long time.
He also passed a motion stating that all clocktopian abortions must be performed with a sledgehammer during the fourth trimester.

when we switched staff we had autoplay youtubes for about a week and then some loser deactivated them again. This is the single greatest fault of this administration.
Let's do without admins for a year and see where we go from there.
