Look. I have sat here and watched a discussion take place that involves the bringing up of things that happened behind closed doors nearly 10 months ago.
I am not going to go into any details about a 10 month old voice conversation, however I will make a few comments about this current discussion happening here,
This discussion has included both accurate and inaccurate "recollections" of private meetings and generalizations about things that were said, agreed upon or even disagreed upon. If it would have been the other party talking this openly about this series of events, it goes without a shadow of a doubt that the staff would take exception to this information being discussed.
Additionally there has been the use of wording such as "ethical issues" in regards to a person or group of persons or their property which leaves open ended implications. Given that the parties on the receiving end of these comments cannot defend themselves or simply even reply to the conversation, is it necessary for the Stratics staff to drag their name(s) through the dirt or at the minimum, make subtle jabs at their moral/ ethical stance as opposed to simply keeping this thread about the wiki?
Taken from the Stratics RoC:
- Troll or otherwise badger, or abuse, other users of Stratics (including staff members), other posters, visitors, and VIPs from development teams.
- Trolling is defined as: To make a deliberately offensive or provocative online posting with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them.
also-
- Make accusations or publicly air disputes or grievances. Such public accusations can not be resolved on the forums and serve only to stir animosity, which negatively impacts the community as a whole.
- You may not make public accusations of misconduct against or about any other user of Stratics, staff members, EMs, other players, developers, or guilds.
and-
- You may not post or distribute chat logs or the contents of private conversations/IM threads/SMS messages unless the participants of those conversations have given their express consent for you to do so.
Member(s) of the Stratics Board have used this thread to backhandedly accuse individuals of misconduct and apparently electing to ignore their own RoC violations committed by a board member. In addition to that, they are sharing private correspondence without seeking the consent of all parties. It's both unprofessional and counter productive to the goal of building a strong UO community. You don't get to claim this website to be community owned and then simply ignore your own rule-set. If I am wrong on this, at least come out and say that Stratics is not community owned.
I suggest we stick to the topic of the wiki as that was what the OP had posted about and leaving any subtle, passive-aggressive attacks/implications of other person(s) out of it, especially since they are not permitted to defend themselves. It's not fair and it's flat out bad form.
