At what point is an AE not actually an AE but a new poster in a sense?
This is all I'm saying.
If they are only using one account and they are coming back for a fresh start, but have not left under questionable circumstances they are not an AE and they are not the ones this post is concerning.
We are only concerned about people using multiple accounts as though they are different people or people who left under questionable circumstances who are consistently sharing false details about themselves in order to gain access to a board or cause other issues. If they did leave under questionable circumstances and they would like a fresh start that is allowed, we might just watch a bit more closely initially to be sure that they aren't back to burn things down. We have people here who have come back for a fresh start and they have had no issues. We have no problems with that.

I like this community, and I do appreciate the work the admins do. If they were hurt by my words today, I apologize for that.
It frustrates me when the board is told that the goal is for this place to rival the likes of The Bump and turn a profit, but then when we try to hold the admins to the standards that most business owners with paying customers are held to, it's mean. I found the fact that Naria appeared to be ignoring multiple tags and basically refusing to acknowledge that her community was requesting that she address them to be unprofessional & childish. The apology given personally leaves a bad taste in my mouth, because all I hear is "I'm sorry, but it's not just my fault, blame these guys too & also here's some guilt trip for you." But it is what it is. NariaDreaming did come back & address the people who were upset, for that I say thank you, and I will move on.
Thank you for trying to correct the actions that caused this whole mess. I know it won't be easy trying to please the masses, so I wish you luck.

I've got wine. That's close enough to luck, right?

I'm sorry if I caused any of you any hurt feelings. It wasn't my intent but I got spun up trying to prove a point and it went places I wish it hadn't. There's no point worth proving if it hurts someone's feelings. I really do apologize for any hurt that my words caused.
@lakermama66 That was a bit difficult to follow with all of the fake tags, but I think I got the gist of it. We would tell @dailybugle that we had looked into the situation and found no violations of the TOU or community guidelines. If it continued and @dailybugle was constantly reporting a user who was doing no wrong, then technically @dailybugle would be the one in violation of the guidelines for abusing reporting and would receive a warning. If there was real concern that a poster had come back to burn shit down, then we would monitor the situation, likely with the help of the relevant board moderators.
If @dailybugle was pestering @clarkkent on the boards, then we would recommend that @clarkkent block @dailybugle.
It's hard for us to foresee every situation, but we have learned a lot from all of this and we have a good plan in place for handling most situations that might pop-up and we will learn, grow, and evolve as needed to meet the needs of the community. Hope that helps!

Alleged intellectual property infringement. And the holder of the IP took shit straight to an 11 and filed a DMCA takedown notice.
So now we are just waiting for our web host to confirm that the offending property is indeed not on our site
OMG! How did they find out? I mean, i'm assuming it wasn't a new avatar?
The world may never know. Theo and I panicked trying to figure out what we broke (neither of us were in the backend), and we finally noticed that they had moved the forum subdomain into a locked ftp.
Like, we didn't even get an email. It was like someone kidnapped our grandmother and hid her in our attic without telling us or sending a ransom letter

Noooooo, this is when you're supposed to wait for the gruff voiced phone call with a list of demands, a shady meeting place and some sort of bin in which to deposit the most money you've ever even heard of...after of course you get something like a chopped off finger in the mail with obvious identifying features just so you know this is no joke! haha.

NariaDreaming, when it's resolved do we get to know what the IP was?
NGL, I'm super intriqued by what set someone off.
Probably not, since that would require reposting said offending content.
FWIW, it was a thumbnail of a painting made by an artist on Etsy.
There is going to be an announcement made to make sure your avatars and sigs are actually in the public domain. You know, once the site is back up.
ETA: no neeed to pitchforks and flames this poor artist. I get it, they need to protect their intellectual property. It's a source of income for them. I just would have appreciated a takedown request from the artist via email before escalating this to an 11.
This isn't the first time we have had a request to remove someone else's IP. It is however the first time they skipped logical first steps and filed a takedown notice

Just because my curiousity is at a high right now, NariaDreaming, did you guys mod abuse the avatar or get the user to change it?
And if it's already changed what has to happen to get TCF back up and running?
Patrick actually went in and got it deleted, since we were unable to log in until he changed the settings to allow access through gbcb again.
We are just waiting for our webhost to confirm that it is indeed deleted from the server. But our host's abuse team does not do live chat or phone, so I'm instead on live chat with their sales department begging them to please inter-office message their abuse team to get our directory out of hock so we can get the site back up and running.

Not gonna lie, I thought we got shut down because someone accidentally posted porn again. This is .... something else.
And apparently my ac doesn't like porn
Not gonna lie. When theo told me from the backend that it was a DMCA takedown, it was not an avatar I was expecting. I figured it was copyrighted work from a news agency, or perhaps a large amount of text from an external blog.

I was... not expecting it to be an avatar
Yeah whenever someone copies and posts a whole article I cringe at the copyright infringement issues. I had my message board and website shut out for that before and that was fun to resolve
