Title: New mod and a statement on recent events.
Post by: Turboweasle on September 06, 2012, 11:13:16 am
First, I'd like to inform everyone about something that happened very recently.  Some of you may have received PMs from me that seemed cryptic at the time, and this will clear it up.

Tuesday afternoon, Pillow gave out his login information to a handful of members in a FB group chat.  This resulted in a few of those members accessing his account, making their own accounts administrators (along with others' accounts who weren't necessarily involved), changing his account password so no one would be able to log into it but themselves, and demoting BMan and me to prevent us from reversing what they did.  Thankfully, they did nothing malicious to the site that we are aware of.  However, none of those involved showed any intention of reversing what they had done and evidently planned on extending their "prank" as long as they could by making backup accounts with administrator powers.

After a few hours of this, Dave realized what was going on (as he had also been made an administrator by those with access to Pillow's account) and contacted me, and together we were able to restore things to the way they had been before Pillow gave out his information.

Though nothing malicious was done to the site, what Pillow did constitutes a massive breach of trust, and he has been permanently banned from this site.  Alumar has also been permanently banned, as he seems to have been intimately involved in what happened.



On a lighter note, Dave has been promoted to the position of Global Moderator for his assistance Tuesday night as well as his continuous contributions to the site in general.  We owe him a lot for his quick thinking, and we are very grateful for his loyalty.


If you have any questions regarding what happened, feel free to PM me.  I will not discuss in public what happened in any more detail than what I have already given.

I knew Pillow had been acting really weird lately. wtf.

Yeah, its even more weird if you read the chat log. I still wish pillow would say something for himself in his own defense cuz it just seems so out of character.

Congrats Dave, now you can read the secret boards where we talked about you behind your back. :)

Congrats Dave.  It has been a long time coming and well deserved, man.  You have been an asset to this site from day 1.

Aren't you and Pillow good friends, Turbo?

I don't think that's the case anymore considering what happened. I'm surprised it happened though since Pillow was involved in a lot of the improvements the past few months.

Also, congrats Dave!

So I'm in a conversation with them all on FB, and this is what Pillow said when I asked why he did it:

"cause it was funny"

"i held wu ransom for a pizza. I wasnt going to fix his status until he ordered me one online"

Who exactly is "Them all"? Other regular members of WU or just Pillow's friends?

Not exactly.  I try to avoid having online friends.

Not exactly.  I try to avoid having online friends.

But I'm his favorite online non-friend because I am sig'd.

Also, for sake of staying on topic: Congrats, Dave.  O0

I will fart in your face, slap you, then fart in your face again.  I don't want the slap to make you to lose that lingering scent of stale corn and sausage.

I guess I'll congratulate you in the proper thread Dave. Congrats! No need to say thank you as you already did.

That's too bad that Pillow did that, but it's great that you guys fixed it in time. That now explains why that Lepron thread was stickied....

I thought he said he had been smoking.  Then again, I just skimmed the chat log.

Dave and Turbo were definitely the heroes here.

Um, didn't the masked crusader do anything? I thought Dave flashed the BMan symbol in the sky....

Everything was fixed in the morning, which was pretty cool  O0

I've been busy the past few days, but sorry to hear a problem occurred with Pillow and others.  Congrats to Dave on the promotion though. O0

I want to correct that to *Pillow, but I'm not able to modify my post.  Is there a wait limit now?

People tend to change their names on here all the time. Or at least Dave does.

All I did was change names, karma, and post count. I didn't even make anyone an admin. Pillow did the rest.

I think I deserve a pat on the back for never actually changing peoples posts while I was a mod(for only a brief time ;_;) and more or less reporting myself by posting in the mod board cuz I thought it was magic

As much as I've tried to avoid him back then in the clan days, I care about him.

Fat, you're pretty much telling on yourself with your posts right now though I doubt you even care at this point anyway.

You got your pat on the back. Maybe not publicly but I'd say so.

You aren't one.

Actually, let me reiterate that. You are about as psychic as that guy.
