Mako

[Jari]

So, what exactly happened with Masteraden back in the day?

I obviously wasn't around back then, and the fact that he deleted his first account makes it hard to find out everything he said publicly (let alone in PMs or on IRC). From what I could find (mostly what was posted by this incarnation and a few topics started by his previous one), he seems pretty tame compared to Hermoor or even Seifer. Did he do something monstrous behind the scenes, or am I overestimating how hated he is by the mods?

Well, that's just it. I think it's all there. I got a PM or two - mostly Seifer-level bitching. I think the dealbreaker was that he - apparently - kept complaining and complaining and complaining (about me, I'd assume) to admins, pointing to threads where he trolled himself. That's what got SaiNt angry.

At least I'm pretty sure he didn't do anything particularly remarkable, or I would remember it. I think.

Ah, so I take it that was what sparked the background check.

Well, not really. Sure, I suspected something fishy back then, but since she was behaving and the forums weren't going anywhere, I didn't do anything about it.

It was actually herself that brought up the connection to masteraden, soon after we uncovered Mendy-chan and I believe I did mention few times that we ban for life.

But I'd rather leave the complete explanation into one, larger, coherent post, when we figure out how much info we are going to post.

Hm, I look forward to hearing about all of this nonsense.

These forums know how to make some enemies, man. But hey, good moderation comes at a price, m i rite? Life's about balance.

That's three as far as I can count. Seifer "Careaga" Almasy, Hermaphroditus, and Mako-aden. Mayhaps we need a trollcyclopedia?

I'd - at least still - rather just go with masteraden. Mako - even all things considered - didn't really troll during her time here. Feel free to add Rubicant, Mofokubik, and RPGillespie, plus his flunkies to the list, though.

We are most likely going to present at least part of our evidence, and I've already told you my greatest suspicion and the reason why I assumed this to be social hacking.

I'd pretty much prefer if we kept the name calling to a minimum. Please.

So, I did some digging around with those names and I found something amusing:

I later realised that this was because of the word filter, but it's still pretty funny

Lol nice that confused me at first. It made me think "Really? Hermoor was trolling on qhimm in 2003?" :0

I really love this forum. I tried to go to sleep about 5 hours ago and have spent the night lying there, too warm (somehow... it's snowing here and I'm too warm) so I get up to occupy myself and here's some more dramz. Its better than a soap opera. Thank you internets.

Hermoor would have been 10 years old at most. He probably would have had the same level of maturity he has now

I also noticed the same person talking about his graphics card a few posts down. 64MB of graphics memory? I love looking at old forum posts and seeing how much computer hardware has improved since then

Don't forget to tune in next week

Or tomorrow

There's bound to be plenty more drama

If Mako truly was ill-intending, she's certainly the closest to adequate of all the forum's enemies I've seen.  That she successfully deceived us all is, objectively, quite impressive.

I'd like to clear up that this had little to do with Mako's behavior; it is purely about the existing ban on masteraden. Lifetime bans are exactly that (lifetime), and repeat offenders are routinely re-banned as they try to return. Indications that masteraden was back led to his earlier ban being quickly extended, leading us to the current situation.

As Ammo pointed out earlier, Mako has behaved well through-out her stay here so far and following the renewed ban as well, with few exceptions. Though she maintains her innocence, she has nonetheless conveyed sincere apologies for any trouble caused. So please refrain from any name-calling while we figure out how to deal with the situation.

Well...  I don't think authority on how all of us should behave gets any higher than that.  As you wish.
