We should continue the discussion about mike's issue here, so we can keep track of what we said/say.

I do agree with Jeff's option. Tell him to don't post in the chat thread for what I think will be a whiiiiilllleeeeeee. And try to keep the other users in the line with their eventually responses to him.

So, sticking to what I said, I'll post all communications via PM I've had with Mike:
PMs (Click to Show)


And that's all of them.

Yeah, looking at it, it really could use a spoiler.

I should mention that like a week ago I lowered the number of links a new member can post without the post being moderated from 1 to 0, since all the posts in the introduction section included at least one link. This goes away after 5 normal posts. It kinda sucks since there are some legit reasons a new member might want to share a link (their work, for instance), but these bots are getting so ridiculous and vbulletin is garbage so it's the best thing I can do right now. It's not really a huge deal anyway, but I wish we had a better way to get this kind of information to people. Hoping that they read the rules or an FAQ post in a subforum might be a bit unrealistic, but then maybe that or the help section will be the first place they go. I guess I'll make a post about it.

Wait do members get a PM when they join? I didn't think that was enabled. Probably a good idea to bring back if it's not.

I just made a new account really quick, nope, no PM. We should definitely put one together with links to the various things we're always pointing new members towards.

Hey Exile, can you handle the recent reports? I'm a bit busy, and have class soon, so I can't properly look unto themselves. I think they're all about Lamitrov though.

This is just a random thought sort of stemming from Dark Demon and their identity crisis. When I start focusing more on developing SPP we should become platform agnostic as a community. I can't exactly articulate why but I hate the idea of indirectly encouraging everyone to use Flash when there are so many programs that can be used. We should focus on animation itself rather than the program used when we're doing things like tutorials and the like, but still have program-specific information.

sounds fine to me, the flash-pivot-easytoon trifecta is left over from way before I joined and I guess no one's thought to update it since then. I'm not familiar with any of the newer programs but I'd think at least a few of them are as notable as easytoon at this point.

spoke with user generalZ about a ban he had for multi accounting. I have reason to believe he wasn't 'behind the wheel' on 'his' other account that got him banned.
If you could reduce his ban to just a few days please, whoever banned him for multiaccounting.

It was Jeff who banned him. Here's the post he made about it

With all due respect stone, can we get more clarification and discussion on issues like these instead of being told what to do based on vague quotes? I like that you're talking about this with us, but at the same time I feel that we can't really understand the issue/possible mistakes we made and improve on them if we aren't being told the full story.

I actually spoke with GeneralZ directly before Stone made that post haha, he claims that he had a sleepover and his friend used his internet to shit post. I don't honestly believe that, I suspect Stone or someone let him know exactly what evidence I had because all of his answers addressed specific points I hadn't made to him yet. I would really like it if you guys wouldn't give the accused that sort of leverage because when you know what your accuser has against you it's easy to spin a plausible story. In this case I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt and I've lifted his ban, but in the future please try not to do this since it puts the accuser (me in this case) in a tough spot.

I know he contacted me, but the only information I gave him was how to contact you guys (Jeff and stone) to talk about his ban. I didn't tell him anything else. Even on here in the Registrar, I didn't specify anything aside from the other account being used.

What kind of information did he have?
