This decision to go back on the previous ruling was acceptable for smk, but here it poses problems because of the moral implications. In smk, you banned a strat, here you banned a player that was previously told he could stay on the site.


Then the message he was originally told was wrong and that shouldn't be made into our collective problem. It's the burden of the messenger to carry. Tom wasn't ever really in a position to tell him he could stay, eventhough he probably felt like he was as site executive. Fact of the matter is, it should always be the call of the community altogether, not that of a solitary admin.

I voted for Fenner off the site. No reason to be ashamed of my decision on it Gaff.

And if fenners WR reign counts then surely his times stand? If his times stand then surely they should be on the site.

Will look strange to someone who comes when the ambassador mksc is released. Checks the past site champs page and sees fenner but then checks the av fin and wr page and doesn't see a single wr...

Either remove him entirely or dont from the site (apart from frieds page). Its the only consistency which can be applied.


That's awfully ironic and smug of you considering that Cromwell is still listed under the site champions, and yet he had how many... i think it was 20+ different fake times on his timesheet at the time of his removal?

At the time of him being on the site, he had legit times, because of this, he SHOULD be credited at the very least on the past champions page. That isn't even hard considering that the page isn't even synced with the database. Hell, there could even be a note on the page explaining why seb is the champ again and why fenner isn't on the site. It isn't that complicated.

I actually never said a collective wanted him off the players' page on the basis of finding him annoying, but people have expressedly stated that they want his posting benefits removed from specific sections of the boards publicly here on the forums, which is saying something for the attitude people have towards him and how willing they are to flaunt that sentiment, all of which gives an idea of how much of this Terrence has to endure. (While, interestingly, nobody seems to find it out of place, given the (lack of) reaction from both those in charge of the forum moderation, and others part of the conversation.)

Terrence proves all of his times, many want him off the site bacause he may cheat and has on several occasions in the past. He's not a criminal putting others at risk, just putting that out there for a bit of perspective and reflection on magnitude and severity. The established proof system should be enough to keep him in check, otherwise those believing differently could have/would have voiced concerns about its inadequacies, perhaps in the spirit of constructivity suggesting other better methods for ensuring that cheating is avoided.

The streamed/video proof is the highest proof degree available within our community bar visiting someone to set streamed times. Apparently this is not to be trusted, at least not to the point that Terrence can remain on the site, even though most people trust his current time catalogue to be completely genuine. This is where I would see conflict in making generous room for his ability and potential to cheat. What is to be trusted apparently, is that he may, very much so, cheat and to prevent this best we can, it is best to not let him on the site at all, instead of relying on video evidence for every time and Terrence's spotless compliance towards our specially crafted guidelines.  "I believe his timeset is well legitimate and he has very strict condictions and proof regulations to meet for acceptance, but because he may cheat, I want him off the site." </fictive quote> This, I don't agree with, and find slightly sad.

4) Kartseven
5) Karterfreak

that leaves seven more. I'm really interested in this. As someone who feels strong enough to advocate his removal should feel 100% sure their decision was the right one. If they feel that way they should be fine to admit it here.

@matt, that was entirely the attitude i was hoping to give off. He's on there for the same reason that Fenner should be. Legit times/legit champion. If a players times are found to be fake then remove him, but his times.. aren't... fake...  

@andreas, bpa and mvt, i'm in agreement with your posts.

I voted to keep Fenner on the site.  I'm more confident on all his times than everyone elses on the site.  I also think Mario's vote should be thrown out if he isn't going to put his times back on the site.

I'm one of the 12 who voted for Fenner's removal.

Hypothetically, if 55% of voters wanted Fenner to remain on the site, he still should have been removed.  A majority is not enough!  If 45% of members think that the world champion should be removed, it would destroy the credibility of the site.  It's very important for a world champion to be widely trusted.  The other world champions (Karel, MJ, Kouider, etc.) are trusted by almost everyone.

When we vote again next year, I think Fenner should only be added back to the site if at least 90% of voters think he should be added back.

That's a very sharp observation/statement actually Fried, I agree 100%.

@ the pro-Fenner camp, I don't think that's necessarily a bad sign.
Terrence is really doing well in regaining trust recently (SNESOT, why not CDM one day), so I'm not pessimistic about the case at all.
Ideally what everyone wants is a fully redeemed site champion of course,one that is legit and trusted by everyone. I don't think that's impossible for T by say 2013.

I agree with Karel.

My decision can be reconsidered, if Terrence does everything possible to prove his repentance. I was already ready for that this year, but after the stuff on Cyberscore, I estimated Terrence wasn't doing everything for a quick comeback.

But if he's ready one day, I'll reconsider my decision. Not before 2013, by the way.

About the vote results -- my notes: (to keep me from having to go through every PM over and over)

Quote:
Keep -- 1234567890
Ban --123456789012 (Note: this was how I kept count)
Possible Solutions from PMs:
*need to find a way to reintegrate (Fried's idea as a temp solution)
*Fried's idea (if no cheating on any known site for a year, possible readd)
*Fried's idea x3
*Fried's idea (keep him off until domination page created)
*thread with links to all vids (vids must be approved by 2 updaters before adding to PP)
*domination page
*no times without a vid
*Fried's idea temporarily

Also, before anyone catches this and asks: for some reason when we tried to remove Fenner from the system, an error message came up, so as of right now his times are still on there, but when the error is fixed, they will be gone. I PMed Penev about this.


Has he got any POWs? As it is done by PID the database will cause an error if you try to remove. You may need to reassign those then it will let you remove. Penev will let you know, unless he has any other suggestions.


Yea, that was it Smiley

Anyway, Fenner is officially off the site now.

This sounds awfully familiar. When you, Karel, neo all said you wanted your times removed until fenners times were proven. He did that and then everyone moved the goal posts.

For what it's worth I'll day right here right now that Terence fenner is the best, proven, mksc player in the world.

I wonder if mario86 or neo would post that.  Cool

I'm anxiously awaiting what mister Runnelid would have to say about that post; or wait...could it be that he only selectively picks up offensive behaviour from those that do not have the same opinion as him? I wonder... Undecided

Yeah at least I don't cry and blackmail to get my way on a game that I'm complete shit at. Way to fucking slap Terrence in the face because you can't get enough of Seb's dick, even though he is the most proven player on the board. What a fucking joke.

No, I don't. Thanks for giving me so little credit, though.

With regards to the Fenner and considering Fenner situation, the blatantly offensive attitude, negative behaviour and downright attacks that have gone on for years are so frequent, I shouldn't even have to bring it up in my post for people to know it happens, but I am doing it because I feel it's got to a point where it's so tolerated, it's almost a given that some non-Fenner player, usually of the crowd that has been the most vocal about not wanting Fenner here, will be posting something humiliating about him, often going to lengths to let him know just how much they dislike him and his presence.
Another thing about it that irks me, is that it is largely unprovoked in that Fenner does not do anything even remotely as rude och harsh to deserve it, especially by comparison. The negative consequences he has to withstand for his non-hostile behaviour should not be a secret to anyone that has been a regular here especially the past year. I don't think anyone can rightly deny people have been jumping all over Fenner for even the slightest of reasons.

I daresay not many, even in the event of their "crime", "faux pas" or "sin" being worse, would have faced the same onslaught of rudeness for it.

This post pretty much justifies the lack of credit I give doesn't it? You spent exactly zero words on Hahaae's post, eventhough it's at least as rude, if not ruder than what I've seen directed at Terrence.

I have seen offensive behaviour against T as well of course, it's impossible to deny that, so I acknowledge your sentiments in that regard. This attitude towards him has nothing to do with why most us wanted his times removed though, I for one have no personal beef with T at all, and wanted him suspended only on the merits of the arguments I have provided.

@ Haha, I don't give two flying pigs about SeB's ranking. You should know Germans and Dutchies don't care much for eachothers achievements in the arenas of gaming & sports (understatement  Wink). The only reason I was upset with Terrence is that he passed Alvin van Asselt.  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

I chose to disregard much of Ethan's post, because while very much part of the discussion, seguing into his post, however seamlessly will be tangent to the discussion at hand. But if you'd like to hear my opinion of it, I don't approve of it, and it's needlessly blantantly offensive and destructive towards its own purpose; a point that I find it difficult to attach much real argumentative quality to in this discussion.

But you went ahead from my post involving specifically the Fenner situation to making it about my opinion of people being rude and posting habits across the entire board (of myself and others), associating my attitude towards the posts pertaining to this specific argument to the entire post catalogue of the board. I am not saying you are all that wrong in doing it even if I don't find it "right" per se; I can at least understand it, as moral stance, which is what you post debates usually is something not confined within the restrictions of one post, but to some extent applies universally. But a discussion of my posting habits that is really a different discussion, and outside the scope of my post in this topic.

I'd like to think my posting integrity extends beyond only criticizing those I am in absolute disagreement with on the isssue at hand, as it isn't true to begin with.
Had I been posting across several different issues on the boards, this nuance would be easier to detect, but now that my argumentative posting has been more or less confined to this one issue, I can see why you'd make the assumption, but I don't think it's a fair assessment.

Fair enough, I stand corrected.
It was just that I never saw you go off on a verbal crusade versus people that are offensive, but on the same side of the playing field as you (if that's a correct way to describe it).

But you're right, your posting habits shouldn't be a topic and I should give you the benefit of the doubt, as you do come accross as a logically resonating individual.

Unlike some others here...*cough*
