Also, unrelated, and I know, it's a double post, but have you guys considered localizing all the events to Discord? Centralizing it and all that.

There's a discord. I think you have to ask either GVH or Sniffage.

A heads up.
This thread may be locked or removed due to the discord's refusal to remove Rojava.

The NSG Happy Hour and Zoom Chat is not a place for conspiring against this site, but we will not have members in our server being removed without reason by our mod team. As the only acting mod at the time, I made it clear that NSG rules do not apply offsite.

It is a sad scenario that someone who has been a member of the happy hour since the beginning was almost punished offsite.
This will not be tolerated.

Just for clarity. The NS mod involved was NVI. A person we had welcomed with open arms on both the calls and the discord because the call is supposed to be for everyone who wants to join. He was made an admin on the discord because he was also a mod here.

It's sad that he has left the discord due to a poor decision on his part but he is still welcome on the calls, just as everyone else is.

Did this mod accuse of conspiracy or just being in touch with a DOS?

Either way you have my condolences.

There is no need to sow unnecessary discord over something that isn't and won't be happening. We do not particularly care how you run your chat. Have fun.

Thanks!

It was more a worry and a precaution, but thanks for the clarification :)

While i can see how current trust issues may make this read more worse than it is I can't ignore the face that at least one mod clearly cared and it's unproductive to not acknowledge that.

The word you're looking for here is "paranoia". Maybe with a soupçon of trolling.

One of the members of your mod team tried to exercise moderation powers offsite to punish someone who had not violated the rules of said space for something they'd done onsite.

I can very much understand the distrust.

Dude. With what a member of your mod team has done you need to walk that back. I'm sure you know what it is.

It is not uncommon for offsite NS-derived venues to boot DOSes because they have nothing to do with NS anymore. You simply chose not to. Retaliation for offsite venue decisions that have nothing to do with NS would get said mod into trouble.

I hope this clears things up a bit. If you want to discuss further, there's a thread in moderation about Transparency related to this, and I'm sure most commentary will align with that topic.

Thanks!

No mate.

NVI tried to unilaterally delete Rojava from our Discord while Rojava is still waiting for a response to the GHR he has sent asking why he was deleted. Against the rules of the server that require multiple admins to kick a person. Much like this forum does.

He was stopped because that shit doesn't fly and he left our server.

If you want to tell us why Rojava was made DOS then we can make a sensible decision. Until then stop defending NVI, and Fris for troll naming.

Why not an actual warning? Why did you just give an "unofficial warning"? Why aren't the moderators and admins on this website kept to the same standard as other users?

In this case because they have a clean record, so they are being held to same standard.
