NO.
LoKe would still be a member here if he was more mature about how he handled the exploit. He was to impatient about how quickly it was being handled and we all know things move at a snails pace around here.

Was Loke tehe guy who made history by hacking the "bat cave" and used the exploit to lock/unlock threads and more or less create general havoc in the forums for a few hours? I remember being witness to that.

Yeh, he actually showed them the holes by climbing into them. He told them once about them and they didn't bother to fix them. So he climbed in again.

I think he was trying to do them a favor, and he could have created A LOT MORE HAVOC than he did.

We can't fix anything to do with the software. We forward it to Fusetalk who then ignores it and us. What's a Mod to do?

Is he under the "5 years and we forgive anything" rule?

One thing I will say about LoKe he kept his word. He knew the name of every single mod here and try as I did he wouldn't reveal it. That accounts for something. I think you should consider that.

I was on his side, initially.
Lately, he has resorted to throwing tantrums like a 5 year old and threatening to reveal the Mod list when he gets mad abut some perceived slight against a member of that other forum.
I guess this takes the wind out of his sails.

He should actually be a mod here! The guy has skillz. It's like having the ex-con join the police force. They have insight.

Excellent. Now maybe we can find out who the DC ignoring mod is, so we may all thank them.

The only mod I've noticed so far in DC is raysun2be. I was going to pm "Anandtech Moderator" to see if we could get one, but noticed that we already have one

There is more than one. Maybe you can "Smoke" him out.

BTW, Hzl Eyed Grl is a great choice for L&R.

Something tells me she's always been the Kinky Mod.

He didn't do us any favors as the Mods have nothing to do with how the software works. What he did do was break his promis and he also threatened to expose us at other sites when he didn't like the way things were handled over here.

That said, we really can't comment on his and other banned members status as it hasn't been determined what we are going to do about it yet.

Good lord, appopin is the video mod? No wonder nothing has been getting done! Actually, he's been real nice to us in video. That said, the smilies still have to go!

 

[moshquerade]

Red, he might've "threatened" but he didn't do it, and he easily could have.

Does LoKe know more about the software here than the mods? He'd be a good guy to have on the team then.

We already have Evadman thank you.

Now that's enough about him, like I said we really can't comment on his status at the time because it hasn't been determined. You harping about it isn't going to help.

He's not exactly the only one who's found holes. That said, getting a response out of Fusetalk is akin to the American citizenship process.

You're welcome.

Red, are you going to be kinder and gentler now that we know it's you behind the iron curtain?
I'm not saying not to do your job, but it really sucked that you (or any mod) could hide behind their anonymity and ignore questions/concerns.

Or will that continue by just using the AnandtechModerator account?

And managing/dealing with Fusetalk problems wasn't/isn't within the scope of our powers.

Whoever thought that?

I've been accused of it a few times.

You'd be a good one.

and some people would like nothing better than to keep mods here busy 8 hours a day answering "questions and concerns""

We get paid nothing,unless you count abuse as a payment,you get what you pay for here just like you do any other place in life.

I can't speak for the other mods but I'll answer questions when I happen to be around and have time for such,if a matter requires my urgent attention I'll respond to it when I see it.I will browse and post here like any other member,I won't work here like it's an unpaid job.

Chunky Monster? This isn't a knock against the person, but I don't think it's right to put moderator power into the hands of someone that joined in June of 2007.

I'm actually wondering the same thing about chunky monster myself? Been here less than a month, has 27 posts & he's a senior moderator??? What's going on there?

Really, if someone is pestering the mods 8 hrs/day that is really harassment and they should be warned and then dismissed if they don't knock it off.

What I am speaking of is a couple of times I've been banned and I would seek answers as to why and get ignored or get curt answers that really didn't answer my question.

We were testing the relaxed language filter. But, those word do not go in the title.

It depends, will you keep sticking your nose in other people business? You seem to have a bad habit of doing that, like in this thread for instance.

We now have added many more Moderators and will be adding even more, this should help with responding to situations that may pop up regarding a lot of issues that concern this forum or individuals personal accounts.

How am I sticking my nose in other people's business in this thread? I am asking questions and commenting, and getting some answers. See, that's the crap attitude you have, and I think we need to work on that.

Even if you'll never like me personally, and you're missing out by carrying on with that, I would appreciate if you'd treat me and others like you'd like to be treated.

Just because I'm a Mod doesn't mean I have to treat you any different than I have in the past in my capacity as a member. In my capacity as a Mod I do have to be fair with you and I have always been that whether you believe it or not. Now that we have to sign our edits and notify you of our actions when it comes to PM's and Vacations you will see that.

You have a method of working people that involves you bull dosering away at them under the guise of asking questions or airing concerns.When you're given answers you don't like you continue to push on,much like a small dog biting someone's ankles. You asked a question about Loke and were answered multiple times by different mods yet continued to plough forward.


Your method is quite transparent Mosh and is,imho a form of baiting and in some cases out and out trolling.
