General Admin Statement Regarding Recent Decline

The amount of general decline has increased in recent months. We're generally pretty tolerant however the decision has been made to tighten it up. Cloaked Figure and Zerotol are no longer with us. They can both spend a few years growing up. We are also hereby officially putting on notice the following individuals:
  • Korgan - An awful lot of your new topics end up in Retardo Land. We'd like that to decrease.
  • Liberal - You seem to be going the way of Korgan. Do not go the way of Korgan.
  • Chefe - Obvious alts arguing with obvious alts is an obvious ban. Meme grew old.
  • Satori - You haven't been too bad of late but we're still keeping our eye on you. Just stop asking for your PM status to be re-instated.
  • Wyrmlord - ...
  • oldschool - Don't even try it buddy-o-pal. We're watching you closer than you think.
Cloaked Figure and Zerotol argued with each other one too many times. Cloaked Figure decided to create a new account and not content with that, drew even more attention to the fact that he had created a new account by whinging about all the attention he was getting, after bringing all the attention to himself.

Generally if we ban you and / or hide all your posts, that is not an indication that we want you back telling everyone about it. Generally, we allow alts to remain if they remain discreet. Generally, we're pretty okay with that. Generally, if you're creating seventeen different obvious alts, you generally have a problem. Generally speaking.

We can ban IP addresses and we can block proxies from registering (it kept Andhaira out for a year). We also can and will delete accounts - including all posts ever made by those accounts - if we have to. I generally don't like too but we can and will if necessary. In fact, we can and will do a lot of things if required.

/End statement.

As is evident, Wyrmlord did '...'.

I wonder if Cloaked Figure will try to take revenge by attempting to hack into the site or something. He seemed pretty serious in his last warning.

@DarkUnderlord: Technically I was out from April 2008-January2009. Thats around 9 months. 9 torturous, agonizing months where I could only access Codexia via my cellphones crappy browser.
:(

What was it that Wyrmlord and oldschool have done?
As told by the general admin statement, generally if you do something, then you can generally have a problem, but generally something something may be done of it, and generally something is not done of it, although general guidelines give room to generally take a few a general measures, which are generally allowed. Generally speaking.

So you didn't spent those 9 months working on the LP you mentioned just before you got banned?

Actually I did prepare a LP for Lands of Lore. Problem is I was playing that game during my previous job (where I got laid off from) and after getting laid off I forgot to bring my saved screenshots with me. Kind of sad, I actually got up to the mines in one sitting (played for around 5-6 hours staright) using Akshel.

I also have another LP ready for Shannara, but haven't gotten around to putting it up.

We should ALL stop posting and visiting the site. Ad revenue will decrease and the accursed admins will BEG for us to return. But we will have conditions.

:salute:

As long as you warn "offenders" beforehand. Though I'll miss 0tool. Aside from his and CF's private war he made more sensible posts than many others. (At least in recent time.)

Am I reading this right? You played Lands of Lore at your job? And after being fired forgot to copy the files to your home computer? :lol:

You're a true Codexer, dungeoncrawling at the workplace..

Could you elaborate on why everyone hates Wyrmlord, for those who it is not clear to

"A pedant is a person who is overly concerned with formalism and precision, or who makes a show of his learning. The corresponding (archaic) female noun is pedantess."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedantic
I am anything but a particularly learned person. I am only eighteen years old, for heaven's sake.

It's like there is this fictional version of me that has been invented just so people can direct their anger at it.

A pedant doesn't have to be wise or a genius, he just has to have a taste for shoving what little he know on other peoples faces and act superior all the time (even when he's falsely displaying modesty).

I don't hate you or anything it's just you're so anal it gets annoying sometimes. Kind of reminds me of Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory.
