RiskySikh - Im Still Around

[capn_monkeypaw]

nah i aint being dramatic with it, I think your being dramatic because you think that my statement is dramatic

Thank you for confirming that this isn't a serious campaign.

[Exavere]

Sup gamer. Many Headmin's activity IC-wise gets toned down due to the responsibilities of the position all by itself, not counting other factors.

Do you feel your responsibilities, and obligations, towards Bee Station* will conflict with the time dedication you will have to put into being a Headmin on /tg/? If so, will you retire from Bee for your term to have enough time for your headmin duties? Or do you have other plans/feel able to take care of both responsibilities properly at the same time?

100% this is a serious campaign, but in my honest opinion as a whole, I am not being dramatic. I am saying that I feel that you are viewing my statement as being dramatic, which is why I think that you are dramatic, but like wise we all got our own opinions. Some might think this is just a "meme campaign", other thinks its serious. Likewise, for me I feel that this is 100% a serious platform I am trying to run on, and I want to help my community. Other than that, its your opinion and I have to respect that.

Well, if I do get elected I will try my best to split the time.

I am unsure we have had headmins with dual responsibilities, but it is worth pointing out we have standing admins who are admins elsewhere.

[Exavere]

I am aware of admins who're admins elsewhere, I was just asking the question specifically for Headmins since the Role can be pretty taxing. Thanks for the reply.

[RiskySikh]

Do you have any other platform ideas other than fuck 'boomermins", "communicating", and removing Campbell?

No sir, I feel that this is the platform I want to run.

[RiskySikh]

Man this started so hopeful and now it's just uneducated and stupid. To be clear, they're on to SOMETHING with this thread. But they lost it in what player candidates do

It's your opinion my friend and I must respect it, but I feel this is the platform I want to run. Like they say, the world is your oyster.

[tinodrima7020]

I believe that we should do some massive reforms for the staff team as we have a lot of admins that are barely active, and only show up out of the blue. Ban someone for a serious amount, and disappear soon after so they can keep their position. I honestly believe that a lot of these "boomermins", contribute nothing to the community, and only want to keep their position so they can be with their buddies at adminbus. It's honestly scummy and disgusting and if elected headmin I would love to purge them. I personally believe that they are a detriment to the community, and cockblock /tg/ as a whole.

While communism is cringe, a Red Purge on /tg/ would be based as Hell. You're in my top 5.

Hey Bindy, kudos for having the balls for postulating, but your campaign sucks ass.

Endorsements are not everything, of course, but your relation seems to be either of open hostility or neutrality to every member of the admin team that has commented here. For someone running to a position of leadership of the admin team you don't seem to have much support from it, which would impair your effectiveness on the role unless you go full Stalin purge (somehow convincing the other two headmins of it).

Is there any current admin supporting your candidacy?

[ArcaneDefence]

Coming into a team you haven't participated in and threatening to start shooting up the house is a bold move at the best of times.
Taking charge said team and then actually shooting it up is another business altogether.

How do you intend to prevent hostilities in your own staff if this is how you're approaching it from the start?

100%, that the admin team won't support, since my policies and purges will effect around 50-60% of them, its obvious. Which is why I am hoping that I will get support from the playerbase hopefully. I don't know any current admins that are supporting my candidacy to be frank.

Honestly, if the admins I want to purge want to be hostile, they can go be hostile, but it's not going to stop their fates. Honestly, I just want to assure to any active admins, that they are safe, and I just want to deal with the boomermins that just leech the admin positions.

I feel that the biggest issue is with the boomermins in the admin team. I see that there is a big divide between the newer admins and the older admins, and what I see is that whenever the new admins want to pass something or want to make changes, the boomermins like to make a hissyfit over it. It's ironic, since most of them inactive, and don't do jack for the community, but the newer admins care for the community, but are getting cock blocked.

Could you give examples of changes from newer admins that have been blocked by older ones?

[Flatulent]

we all thought we needed a benevolent leader but now I realise that we need a jannie Stalin to purge the old guard

[Timonk]

lol good luck purging MSO

I really think you overestimate the amount of "boomermins" in the team. Could you provide a comprehensive list of them?

[YuiY1997]

Which other candidates do you think you could win against in a rage cage?

[Nabski]

So you've clearly stated that you are running with your only hope being the player vote. The other two members of the triumvirate are picked from the Head Admins and the Existing Admins.

You would need to convince at least one of them to agree with you on your purging boomers campaign. How do you think you will accomplish that.

Lets hope that the other candidate is someone that has similar policies with me. Or you can give them that good old sweet talk.

I'd sure like to see what type of "sweet talking" starts a purge from a team without starting an in house dumpster fire.
We're a team, not an inquisition. Starting off by saying you'd put a gun in someone's mouth is tactless at best.

The purpose of headadmin is to guide/train newer admins, weigh in on important decisions regarding the game/community at large, guide server policy, and deal with important or sensitive issues. I would say all of these responsibilities are much easier with the respect of the people you're supposed to be leading. If you plan to in your own words purge "around 50-60% of them" (assuming you can somehow convince another head admin to do this), how do you think you'll garner or maintain any respect at all? So far your only example of a "boomermin hopping on some random server. Giving some random player a random ban, and is able to keep their admin position" you've given is one where the offending admin was suspended and the affected players compensated. You've also completely ignored multiple people asking you for examples on what you mean by "cockblocking". You've even said that "100% the admin team won't support", yet you still insist on running with a platform that you know will step on toes and generally just upset the people who you're supposed to lead. If the other two headmins decide that they don't want their first action upon becoming headmin to be purging the admin team and immediately creating hostility and animosity, how do you plan to proceed knowing that your one of your major platform pieces has been shot down on day one?

This entire platform is just a rehash of goof's a year ago but less funny because you're actually serious.

Yes. Would you mind saying which of these you would actually purge?

You say that you want to purge the admin team - the problem of wanting to remove many of the people that you're supposed to be leading aside, how would you plan on keeping admin coverage on all time zones ? Even with our current numbers, Manuel, for example, rarely has admins on during NA day time. There's also the conflict of interest that comes from your involvement with Beestation - Why would we want someone with an interest in a different server to be not just adminning, but running ours ? How can we be sure of your intentions ?

Likewise, I want to replace them its that simple. I know that admins are going at my neck, but it seems most of the players are chill with me. If my plan gets shutdown, I ain't going to be quiet, I want to be vocal, I ain't going to get fucked over by two other headmins.

I mean, /tg/ is where I originally came from. Likewise, just replace them. Its that simple

[RiskySikh]

Fine fuck it, you know one example of cockblocking was at Dootcord. You guys literally threatened any admin on that server for being deadminned for simply being on there. It was just simply a server to hangout with friends, and people from adminbus made a big deal over it.

[Armhulen]

For untold reasons, half of you need to leave.

This is the transparency you were looking for, right?

Originally coming from TG doesn't really answer the question. You were permabanned from here, it's not impossible that you have some kind of grudge. I'm not saying that's true, but it is a concern. Are you familiar with the admin recruitment process ? How do you plan on finding enough candidates to replace the admins that you're removing ? How can we be certain that these candidates will be good quality, without experienced admins who have a sense for that ? Who is going to take the responsibility of training them ? What's going to happen in the few months after your purge where we have few full admins ?

[RiskySikh]

I have reason with this Armhulen, I want to purge any inactive admins, or those that literally don't do jackshit, and just take up the admin role.

What grudge, I have no grudge for this community at all. We will do an admin drive like we did at beestation. We can give active admins that we know and trust and give them admin trainer. I mean in a few months, we will slowly replace the ranks. Literally, I got people telling me that they support my campaign. It seems there are two perspectives one from the admins that frown on my campaign, and from the players who support it.

What I mean by « what happens in the few months after the purge » is that we're going to have a *lot* of candymins and less experienced admins. This is going to cause a lot of confusion in rule enforcement, and it'll be a very rough few months for the server as they adjust to their positions, assuming we can even find enough people. We might lose players over it. Is that something that you're prepared to help prevent, or is it just acceptable losses ?

Yeah "experienced", I love a bunch of inactive admins that been here since 2014, but don't do jackshit, and stay silent until headmin elections and voting for some admin that caters to their interests so they won't get fucked over. God I love it so much, it is acceptable losses. I mean man look at it, most of the 2014 players get replaced by 2015, 2016 by 2017, 2017 by 2018, etc. Its a cycle, there are some remains, but thats how it goes.

The literal job of headmin is to work with both admins and players to ensure everyone is having fun. The literal point of the fucking job is to bring both groups together. Now not only will you be divided between beestation and /tg/, you've also just said you don't want to work with the admin team itself, which is, you know, kind of part of the job description. You will get fucked over by the two other headmins, because if they have any ounce of sense they'll know that the idea of purging half the the admin team due to "boomermins" and "cockblocking" is completely and utterly fucking retarded.

What, I have my best intentions of helping with the admin team, I just want to remove the inactive admins that don't do anything at all. That's it, regardless in the headmin elections people have policies that focus on a certain topic that puts other groups at a disadvantage. I can persuade them, or talk to them about it, and have a civil discussion. Honestly, I ain't going to get talked down, and give up. I want to try my best, and just do the best I can.

[vkalls]

I think everyone can agree that there are some pretty inactive admins. Some of them do what you say they do and show up out of the blue, ban someone, and then leave again. But how many of them could this actually be? And will it really help to just remove the 50-60% of admins that you are proposing be removed? No matter how easy you think it will be, getting even half of those numbers back is going to be hard. And for what, so you can remove the very small percentage who leave, come back and ban someone, and then leave again?

[Not-Dorsidarf]

Okay so I have a genuine question.

As your stated example of “Boomermin” zombie admin behaviour that needs to be purged you pointed to BGObandits incident, right?

But according to the activity stats you’ve been using bgobandit is in the top 25% of admin connections/playtime with over 2000 minutes in the last 30 days (in May) - more than your prospective co-headmin Domitius. What’s the deal with that?
