Forum:Judgment Day of Channel Operator Erry

{{DTN|time=04:41, 20 November 2011 (UTC)|text=It is required that you listen to this song while reading this forum.

As requested, I have respectfully returned the +o flag to ErryK, resolving this stalemate-locked issue plaguing the IRC and Roundtables. However, this opens the door to a resolution of the conflict: a judging of whether or not Erry has the ability or even deserves to remain in the spot of channel operator.

Now, as many of you remember, I wrote a MASSIVE GIGA WALL O' TEXT THE SIZE OF TWO UNIVERSES about this subject earlier, and if you are serious about contributing to this forum, it is of the utmost importance that you go and read it. It is long but if you do not read it, you are giving a blind opinion, which is exactly what we are trying to avoid in this forum's discussion. (scroll down until you see it)

Now, for the evidence. As I said, I am able to provide evidence of of Erry's actions on the IRC that make him absolutely unfitting to be in any leadership position there. Below is a collection of log excerpts that display this behavior of his—and this is not even all of it, just some of it. Regrettably, a lot of the confessionals took place in Erry and I's PM memo, which I unfortunately did not have set to log. I apologize for that, and I know that I've let you down; I've been a fool to myself, but hopefully what is below should be PLENTY to show you what we are dealing with. Logs are in chronological order and contain both relevant and non-relevant material, but have been cut/abridged to show only material that pertains to the situation. (Originals available on request, though there is no difference in all but perhaps a few cases, if any) These logs serve two purposes: expose Erry's inappropriate, rude, and violent behavior as well reveal the support from a large community of users who support the removal of his channel operator flag.

ErryK criticizing users for fun, then being sarcastically rude.

ErryK makes typical rude and offensive comments and then leaves instead of solving the problem.

ErryK overasserts himself and does not listen to reasoning from a designated leader.

'''ErryK gets called out for his rude behavior by Sapheta, leaves in rage without solving the problem, instead making it worse. Then Sapheta sums up the ErryK situation.'''

ErryK rudely insults SilverCrono over a memetic joke of his, and I point out for the millionth time that this is not acceptable behavior.

ErryK ignores Rule #1 and essentially claims he is above being punished for it by using the channel to gossip about the leadership of our former sister wiki.

'''ErryK absolutely, massively abuses his operator abilities. At this point, I remove the +o flag, after discussing with other channel operators in a side-channel.'''

Vestige displays typical sarcastic behavior instead of politely trying to solve the issue at hand.

Vestige ambiguously alludes to me rudely with insults and is called out once more by Sapheta.

Vestige ignores the rule of language and nonsensically tries to deny punishment for it.

'''ErryK avoids me instead of approaching me to actually try and solve this. This situation occurs many times in the near future after this log.'''

Sove and wolf5000 agree than ErryK is not worthy of the channel operator position, showing support from other users than just myself and other operators.

Sove and maggosh expand on the concept of Erry not deserving the +o flag, suggesting higher punishment than simply removing his position.

ErryK, again, immaturely avoids me in a childish game of peek-a-boo.

In addition, this is something you all should know:

ERRY DOES NOT CARE.

What do I mean by that, you ask? Simply put, when KrytenKoro on my behalf told Erry that a forum to discuss his channel operator flag would be created, ErryK stated that he was going to ignore any decision we made and keep the flag somehow, by any means he could come up with. If that's not being stubborn and childish, then I don't know what is. Erry did not want you to know this because he only told KrytenKoro about this in a late PM, but it is unfair for the community to not know of such an ignorant attitude.

Also, I hope you could identify the a few themes in the logs above. Firstly, Erry does not solve problems with log or fairness. Instead, he avoids you by leaving the IRC whenever you log on, abuses his channel operator rights, or breaks the rules knowing that he is doing so. A channel operator should be able to mediate and take care of problems. Secondly, Erry likes to skate right on the edge of rule-breaking when he is not doing so absolutely. A channel operator should not be playing so close to the fire that we are trying to prevent from kindling, figuratively speaking.

So therefore, with all things considered, I believe that Erry does not deserve the +o flag and should have it removed immediately.}}
