Isn't that rather horribly discriminatory, Jack?
I hate to beat a dead horse, guys, but if I may challenge that sanction, the USNW's lack of definition for my particular banishment might be a bit of a problem. The only indication of one is in the June Crisis article, which only explicitly states its questionable existence. However, there seems to be no evidence of when, how, and if such banishment even occurred as there is no specific account throughout the rest of the article. There is also no physical, recorded evidence of my account's banishment here on the forums, since here I am and always was, able to post in threads as a "Registered User".
So, per the policy "to define the returning procedures blah blah of members involved in the June Crisis,
and subsequently banned," said law is irrelevant.
However, Jack, I do recall how upset you were over the old wiki's "hijacking" since you were, in fact, one of its biggest contributors. I'd like to mention though that the wiki was never fully compromised because you were able to transfer all of the articles and templates onto another site. In fact, it is still accessible as of today. I might add that the definition of the word
hijack may disagree with its use for whatever I did as stated in the June Crisis article since I totally didn't even do that. I may have suspended everyone's access to their accounts for the site, but I did not seize and prevent access to the site itself (ergo, delete it). In fact, since all of the articles were moved to another site, without anyone's permission, I might argue that you were the hijacker of the wiki, not I. I know this because the June Crisis article uses the faulty war template that I painstakingly tried to reproduce from wikipedia. I did borrow the idea from another source, but the code put in place is mine
after hours and hours of research. So, since a lot of the templates being used in the wiki were created by yours truly, isn't there another issue of "how dare you steal my stuff and subsequently prevent me from simply trying to make them better"?
And if you guys do recall, I never did try to run for any "powerful" position here in the forums. I only wanted to be part of the committees dedicated to the improvement of our union (history, map, wiki, etc.) The Solarus System was kind of my idea, most of what's written in the Great Adonian War wiki article was mine, and if you look at the latest map of Adonia, the distance measurements on the lower-left hand corner--I created that. So aren't you guys kind of shooting yourselves on the foot by trying to prevent me from doing that kind of stuff?
I left because I thought the whole issue with the crisis thing was completely unreasonable (IMHO). I'm not really "mentally unstable" as stated by another member. I temporarily disabled the wiki to slap your guys' hands and put you in time out. You guys know the meaning behind "history is written by its victors," correct? Well, this June Crisis thing is a great example of that. Notice how the main and only image in the article is a screenshot of what I did, which effectively downplays the bigger issue that happened in the crisis (which I was barely a part of).
Now that I've beaten a dead horse to a pulp, I hope everyone can let bygones be bygones. If this law is amendable AND doesn't impede with my ability to create and edit templates as I please (a simple process which shouldn't require me to be mod; the current templates your wiki is using,
the ones I've created, are outdated and inefficient), then I won't have a problem with the law's existence for now, not that it even has an effect on me whatsoever. Cheers!
