Would appreciate some further feedback on this one.

Bumping for further feedback.

The discord bot won't be returned. If there is demand for the Freedom server to have some stuff in TFM, that can be handled as a separate suggestion, but bots that interact with the Ptero panel won't be permitted on the Discord and we won't be putting any resources into hosting one going forward because we're setup the panel which the community demanded to replace the bot.

Bumping for additional feedback.

IMHO there needs to be a difference between "Recognised for building skill" and "Working actively on TF Projects" and I think the fact we've yo yo'd between those for some time now is what's caused these issues.

I would prefer us make the split, and whichever one is "Recognised for building skill" these individuals are added to rather than blindly adding them to the current MB Team in the current format it is.

↩  DragonSlayer2189 Then what they do should be on the time line if it's significant. Appointing an executive is not and should never be significant on its own.

Exec appointments shouldn't really be seen as historically significant as standard IMHO. Wouldn't say that's worthy of being included on a time line.

User deleted so denied.

To address a few points up front.

The reason this has taken so long is because it's been Easter, I've had social plans and honestly this has been pretty low on my priorities in the grand scheme of everything else going on in my personal life and even with everything else going on currently on TF, with that said though I am sorry it's taken me as long as it has to actually action this properly. I've had a chance to review everything that Nick has provided me to support his argument, and everything Luke has kindly collated when he did his original independent investigation.

I'd also like to add that the Discord rules were indeed changed at the end of Jan, I asked Nick not to make an announcement because it came just after the whole 13 year old banning stuff, and I did not need to get crucified again. In hindsight it wasn't a great call on my part, and my apologies that there was not as good a transparency there as I would usually provide the community.

In terms of the evidence provided, Nick has provided me with his YT Watch history, and it does show him watching a number of clips, and I have no reason to believe he has mislead me, especially as he was asked to prove they were YT clips by some other admins before I asked for his YT Watch history.

I've also not been provided any physical evidence to support the accusation that Nick was indeed streaming content regardless of where he streamed it from and the other side arguments that have happened on this thread. There are a couple of screenshots which could be anything from any source, and individuals word on both sides.

With that all in mind, and taking everything into account, and highlighting that I have no reason to believe that anyone here has a good reason to mislead or lie to Luke or myself throughout the course of our investigation, I do agree that action needs to be taken and that this cannot continue.

My current view is that this was somewhat of a large cock-up on Nick's part even if it was YT Video's and applying my normal rule of "If you're going to do potentially silly / naughty things, make sure I don't find out" (And I have very much found out) I think it's reasonable to say this was a poor judgement to think streaming anything (Via Movie Streaming or YT) is not the best idea and was almost certainly going to cause problems and I think for me that's what this comes down to, because I'm not convinced either way if Nick did or did not violate copyright laws, and as the new Discord rules mean even if he did, that's now Discords problem.

With all things taken into account, I've made the decision to remove Nick from his position as the Discord Manager and as a member of the Discord Staff team, this is due to the poor judgement that was exhibited on this occasion, and the community consensus on this thread.

Nick currently doesn't hold any other ranks, and given I'm not personally convinced a law was broken here, I see no reason to issue a further sanction beyond this.

I'd also like to thank Nick for all the work he has done for the community and the Discord especially, he's as far as I'm concerned ran it well for me, and has absolutely made my life a lot easier since he took over the running on of it, so my thanks again to Nick for all the hard work (Often with very little thanks / appreciation from the community he has been supporting).

As I don't wish for this thread to continue to progress, and the issue has been dealt with I'm going to lock this here, if people want to discuss it further you can reach out to me directly.

I don't think this rule even still exists… It might still be on the legacy guidance for punishments but it's certainly not an active rule afaik…

↩  matscalle also for teams you have to be 16 years old wich noah is not (looks like he can if he has permission from his parents or person who is in care of him)

Yeah this isn't entirely true and as Erin has said had no impact on an admin app. Executive management is entirely separate.

↩  taah because if I lock it I'll be accused of fucking with the results and will spawn 5 more pointless threads on the fact I did it.

I'd suggest folks look at the older threads on this topic. Nobody has historically been able to provide a format that makes sense and works with the variables we have to play with.

↩ @'wxtermelon' Steven controls who has access and the level of access. There are some general restrictions (which I should probably formally document) when we grant file system access that need to be followed like not cloning copies externally and all that good stuff or sharing files with non file system access individuals. I'm simply giving my own view on this thread.

That's the "perk" of a panel. It's by design and not something we want to turn off because it's designed to auto restart if it detects a crash.

↩  NotPetya this raises the question of why nick has gone unpunished for all this time while others have been punished aptly.

Put simply there is evidence that contradicts yours and I'm not at home at the moment to finish looking into the matter. I have a lot of he said she said but very little actual evidence that is properly concrete. It's being investigated and once I'm satisfied there is either a rule violation or not a rule violation a post will be made with the evidence seen and why I've reached the decision I reach.

Unfortunately I have a life outside of this server and I'm just busy at the moment. If people have evidence please send it to Luke and myself and I can factor it into my decision making.

Follow the instructions, submit a ticket.

We intentionally don't do this. We couldn't find a good way to do it and I can't remember off the top of my head what broke when we tried but yeah things didn't play nice.

↩  Alco_Rs11 so I was involved in this one. The issue was at the time the server was crashing nobody had the patched jar or could get hold of video… At the time video had to build the jar locally and send it to people, that's now changed and the patches since then have been much smoother.

Given rylie as the sys admin has access, Paldiu as lead Dev as well as Steven and myself, we already have people across the timezones. I'm very reluctant personally to grant more people access than is absolutely necessary and this should not be necessary now…

↩  uvb Lead developer does. Dev team should be getting them to make changes… We've never allowed developers direct access as a job role.
