How would you like your Vault Dweller?

[DarkUnderlord]

Given this thread, which I Retardo'd (shocking, I know), vote. For the record, that poll was:

• VD left powerless: 16%
  VD given the power, and the Final Solution to the LULZ: 84%

As a guideline to this poll:

• Vote for "VD given the power, and the Final Solution to the LULZ" if you agree with VD's direction on forum moderation and a member purge occuring solely at his discretion.
  
• Vote for "VD returns as Editor-in-Chief, and he doesn't agree to purge the forum of infidels" if you want a VD posting news but leaves it entirely up to the others to take care of moderating the forums.
  
• Vote for "VD shares the power, we all agree to vote on which infidels to purge" if you want a VD with full admin powers but the rest of the staff have to agree with him before he bans or threatens to ban anyone.

 

[Jasede]

Voted A even if I get purged too. :colbert:

 

[Zomg]

The more polarized poll was useful, because the question is essentially: VD gets whatever he needs to ameliorate the insult, everyone else can take it up the ass, Y/N?

Bastard. What's wrong with C? Oh, you're German right? That'd explain it.

 

[dagorkan]

71% in favor of VD having absolute power, already (normally spammers are lulzers and pro-DU).

I read "Final Solution" and then I really couldn't hold back anymore. We all got our minor flaws - we Germans killed a few hundred-thousand people in cruel ways, started two world wars that laid waste to Europe, etc. However, French people eat frogs and Brtish people have funny accents in return. It all balances out.

 

[dagorkan]

73% now

 

[vrok]

I knew it. Hope it goes through so we can all get banned for lulzing the poll that "saved" VD, and for not sending enough "sorry" PMs of course. Better start spamming him right now.

I'll pass.

Edit: BTW, few hundred-thousand? Now you're just being modest. It's ok to brag.

lulz
Quick, someone post ASCII tubgirl.

 

[Lumpy]

So option 1 means "Staff, do what VD wants", option 2 means "VD, do what staff wants" and option 3 is middleground.
Option 1. But just because it's the only one that would work out. Personally, I'd keep VD but also keep the lulz. If it's one or the other, though...

 

[Jasede]

Honestly, who cares if some less intellectually gifted members are banned? They can always use a proxy to register a new account and post with their alt. Sure, that is quite a hassle, but if they behave for a long while they can always reveal themselves to the staff and ask to be unbanned.

(On that sidenote, don't do that "proxy list" bullshit. I know some people always use a proxy to browse and that would be... meh. If an obvious idiot reregisters with a proxy, just ban that account too. He's going to get bored of it a lot sooner than you.)

 

[Joe Krow]

Fuck the LULZ. The whole meme/fail/I N T E R N E T D R A M A thing is fucking embarasing. So childish. So lame. Let us suffer not the 4chans. Flush it! If you lack the balls to do it then bring back someone who can.

Vote for your preference, not your assessment (which who knows, may be incorrect) of likelihood.

 

[Nedrah]

Well, I went for C).

I'd love to see him as an admin with equal rights to the current super-secret godclub.

More importantly, I'd like to see him as a chief-editor who helps me becoming a better news-poster and who provides the kind of quality that makes everyone forget that I (we?) are just growing into this.


I appreciate darkunderlord starting this thread. I'm not sure wether there are any bridges are left not-entirely-burned, but if so I'd really like to see them rebuilt.

 

[FrancoTAU]

I'd rather we had VD back, along with a couple other active admins to balance out his recent tendencies to knee jerk ban people. Barring that, I'll take having VD back with the behind the scene admins getting to veto.

 

[MasPingon]

If VD returns I don't won't anybody to tell him what to do. Choosing a

Edit

On the other hand it depends on what do you mean by a Final Solution to the LULZ

 

[Oarfish]

A, though I thought VD got more than a little ban happy recently the Codex will not be the same without him.

 

[Needles]

Most people voted for VD's return... but you know what ? I don't give a fuck, OWNED you bitches, I win teh internetz

[Jedi_Learner]

This is our forum, not yours. If we decide to take a particular course of action, that's our call. If we decide to start a poll for the general users about it, that's our call. If we decide to ignore the result of that poll, that's your problem, not ours. The Codex is not a democracy (of its general forum populace). In short, this is our playpen and we're in charge. If you don't like that, GTFO. (Ref)

 

[Mr. Hand]

You left out option D, hauling Rosh back from the deep Internet Abyss and giving him joint admin powers with VD. The arguments that will ensue between VD, DU and Rosh should there be a further falling out of this magnitude will so warm my heart.

 

[kingcomrade]

I voted A. VD tends to go off the handle (two warnings = flying off the handle, lulz) at posters who have a history of being lame rather than just anyone who makes a single unacceptable comment once upon a time.

It's embarrassing how this site now looks on the internet. There's a reason why developers come here, they are interested in what we have to say. Other RPG websites like RPG Watch and NMA know the Codex well and I know Watch usually posts links to VD's reviews and articles. I myself came here because I was sick of people gushing over Oblivion on the Bethesda forums, saw the Codex mentioned and came here right away. This site was well known as a site for people who loved RPGs. All that credibility has been destroyed by childish spammers.

Its time to get that reputation back.

 

[Hory]

The whole lulz thing has been exaggerated to absurd proportions, as if it's either lulz and nothing else or no lulz and everything else. This has never been the case.

Also, the votes of people who actually post(ed) here on a regular basis should have more value than those of lurkers with accounts.

Except they were here doing their thing long before you came here. KC here being one of the most prominent examples. Just check the post below for evidence.
