Poll
Question:
Demod Ribs
Option 1: ea
votes: 9
Option 2: ay
votes: 0
He does not listen to any criticism and can't deal with the pressure of moderating internet forums it turns out! Also he is angry at everyone who disagrees with him which is everyone and is not really very helpful at all! Apparently since it's either mod or not a mod and no inbetween ground where he listens to criticism and politely responds to it, whether he is going to use it or not, then I guess we'll have to de-mod him.
Also it is like 4AM so please ignore grammar and things because I am very tired and I have a lot more work to do for Uni by tomorrow.
I have not made a poll before so let's hope this works.
I like the guy even if he is too dumb to not respond to obvious trolls.
Corpsegrinder has been trying relentlessly to improve the forum and uphold the spirit of the place. There's massive agression towards him that seems to be mostly in the elementary school "I can get a rise out of him" spirit.
Ribs is one of the only people who actually gets things done in this place. He even private messaged everybody on the administrative staff a link to this thread (http://www.clockcrew.cc/talk/showthread.php?100163) asking us to give valid input on it.

Quote from: AnkhClock;1880311I like the guy even if he is too dumb to not respond to obvious trolls.
He's tried not responding, he's tried just banning them, he's tried talking to them calmly, he's tried yelling at them. Nothing works.
he probably edited the polls he should be losing this
please demod ribs hes the worst mod the clock crew has ever had
Quote from: RibsClock;1880343Actually Bit said that when he demodded me in '05, true story

ok just let me know when you resign

I like how everyone who disagrees with Ribs is apparently a troll now.
Quote from: RibsClock;1880316It seems to me that you should typically cite some reasoning other than "he doesn't value my opinion enough!" for demodding, like examples of abusive moderation, double-standards with application to the rules, shirking basic duties, etc.
As always, I've strongly supported a basic democratic process and, if the general populace feels I am unfit to hold my position I shall relinquish it with no regrets: I feel I have been justified in my actions and stayed fairly rigidly within the rules, even to the point where it has been deeply inconvenient or disadvantageous to do so and where I'm sure understanding would have been afforded me if I did not.
I think that the argument to demod me is mostly a petty one that does not take into account the actual situation with our staff, namely one of short-handedness and inactivity, a great deal of the slack of which I am picking up. It's true that if I'm actually being abusive that I should be removed, but I submit that I am not.
I was actually just referring to the fact that is what you said when people told you to change something something. You were all like, "THE CLOCK CROW PUBLIC VOTED FOR ME, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN FUCK OFF AND YOU COULD HAVE VOTED FOR SOMEONE ELSE BUT YOU DIDNT SO VOTE FOR SOMEONE ELSE" without taking into account what they were saying at all. I'd go look for a quote but I have a two huge deadlines tomorrow and I am a very busy person!!!!

I think this exposes one of the biggest weaknesses of our democratic system: it becomes, as one might expect, as much about petty personal squabbles as it does legitimate concerns. People band together based on common purposes, even if those purposes are based on inane and childish things. Is it surprising that it seems to be the same group of people that have what appear to be issues that started because of some personal problem or issue they had with someone/something?
No offense to you, Sinister, honestly. I'm talking about a broad swath of topics that have been coming up, and I don't know how involved you are with any general consensus. You've always seemed pretty cool to me, so I'd be kind of surprised to find you among the shit rakers. {{{}}}

i love how everyone is acting all surprised by stuff like this because the way i see it this has happened with pretty much every staff
~in sinister we trust~

This is true and I am also surprised about the lack of self-awareness in the crew. Every staff ever has been widely criticised (often focusing on one or two people) for being the worst staff ever by a few loud people. Not to say those loud people don't necessarily have legitimate concerns sometimes, but still, it's like they're fulfilling a prophecy or something.

i know but it's different now because now
i'm a staff member
which is a silly thing to say considering i was on the staff when clam was in charge too
This is by far the whiniest do-nothing incarnation of the clock crew I've seen yet. Seems the more we add politics to our system, and the more open we try to become the worse things get.

People also said this about every iteration of the Clock Crew ever. Maybe we should just destroy the Clock Crew??
Why bother? It seems to be doing a good job taking itself apart.

Wait a minute. Someone did actual change all the words in my poll. I no longer trust this poll.
we dont need to demod anyone
Quote from: AstronautClock;1880415we dont need to demod anyone
demod astronaut for saying this
mod the 7 people that voted yes
demod everyone else
I think this is an argument that always has and will continue to never really get us anywhere. Even if Corpsegrinder is de-modded there will only be someone to replace him that another group of random users will decide is the worst and is unfit for their position as a moderator. These political and bureaucratic shenanigans seem really pointless to me. This time could be used for other, less white noise-like actions, like actually making art or being active in this community.
Quote from: clammo;1880413I disagree entirely on the basis that the majority of his bans have been towards members who uphold the true, original, ideal spirit of the clock crew. The only thing he's tried to uphold is his own little circlejerk.
:aaa:
I like ribs im glad clam isnt staff because he changed my thread title and made my name same i dont give a fuck about you and im hardcore
Which is true i am really hardcore thanks cam

Quote from: clammo;1880505so let me ask this: if ribs strives to uphold the spirit of the clockcrew and actively improve the forums, yet his status as a super moderator is causing a clear division within the crew, and generally making the forum less enjoyable for all, why hasn't he volunteered to leave the position to reunify everyone?
because hes the hero the clock crew deserves
but not the one it needs right now
so we'll hunt him. because he can take it
because hes not a hero
hes a silent guardian
a watchful protector
a dark knight

i hope he fucks off

About four people on the forums truly hate him, they're just very loud, and they troll as hard as they can and do their best to make everybody miserable. You specifically have autistic levels of hatred for him because he's disagreed with everything you've ever said and vice versa, and he was chosen to be mod over you. Why didnt you step down when you were universally despised? Why dont you just leave the cc now, it'd make everyone happier. I'm really not sure why you stay here, you hate everybody here and do nothing but try to make the cc a drama filled shithole.
Now one more thing before I never open this terrible thread again

21 for nay. He's so divisive. Clearly the majority want him out.
Quote from: RibsClock;1880532Changed it from hilarious joke terms to a simple "yea" and "nay". I felt that it was more responsible than gassing the thread and demanding that you remake it with "yea" and "nay" (and also a little less dickish).
I don't have the ability to alter the record of who voted on which one so it's easily verified that the poll numbers are accurate. By all means I welcome any admin or coder to verify the numbers.
Am just sayin' you could've easily switch the two around or ote. Even though you probably didn't
Quote from: RibsClock;1880532I don't think you're a troll, I just think you're a crabby babby that's butthurt about a couple legitimate bans that you totally asked for.
You banned me once while I wasn't even online to see?
Quote from: RibsClock;1880532I don't just do what any individual says to do on a whim. I've been told by people to just permaban the people causing drama, did you know that? Should I have given their position credence as well?
My actions have been bound within a responsible application of the rules. If the rules are wrong, change those. If I am failing to apply them correctly, then remove me from my position or simply don't reelect me.
You see, this is what I mean. You see everything as black and white. You just assume everything you do is perfect because people haven't had the chance to not reelect you yet. You could always take on board criticism instead of being a dick and dismissing it all.
Quote from: RibsClock;1880532I'm not exactly dictating anything on these boards, with the exception of the one place some discretion is allowed (gassing bad threads) and even then I'm being exceptionally light-handed.
You've been gassing spam threads and you also follow the rules like some sort of jesus law rather than taking things on a case by case basis and using the rules as a sort of guideline rather than a live or die thing.
Quote from: RibsClock;1880532How about waiting and taking your time and actually come up with a compelling argument before putting this sort of thing up and wasting other people's time?
Because University is more important than internet forums???????
I'll be honest I only post on here when I want to procrastinate from doing work. Also check out this sick batman I did for uni:

This is it. The ultimate strawman.

Coprsegrinderclock is cool get off his back and hairy legs.
Corpsegrinder is merely trying to distract you with his sexy body. Pay not attention.
This thread has been derailed in the right direction.

its not even hairy enough for a woman's leg. Change my vote to yes I am appalled at corpsegrinder's mother's leg hair and him being dishonest about his own. Can we really believe in a mod without body hair? Vote for a mod with REAL body hair, vote miraclefruitclock, who's own penis is obscured by his massive fro of pubes and has to comb dingleberries out of his ass.
