You'll have to forgive me. I've seen plenty of mud being slung here about a LOT of sites, past and present, TiT included. I figured, "When in Rome..."
And thanks for the sincerity.
What I wanted to say in my post was simply that Muddslinger and Blastg1 should shut the fuck up and blame themselves for not dealing with Serb earlier.
They used to be with serb in the TiT irc 24/7 for fucks sake. You mean to tell me that they couldn't do anything about his behavior? They preobably used to laugh at his jokes or some shit
Yea go ahead and accuse me of not having no proof and not knowing what I'm talking about. I don't need to have any proof to know that you and the whole TiT staff fucked up by allowing Serb to do his dirt. It's basic common sense.
They claim to have spoken against Serbs actions, but i don't believe none of it. They probably just told him once that they don't agree with what he does and thats it.
That's not how you deal with that kind of situation though. You're supposed to keep pressuring them into changing their ways and if you can't get through to them you should go talk to your highers and get him banned.
What I'm saying is voice your opinions. Remember how big of a deal I made against CN when they wrongfully accused Cabalo? Even though I had no power to change anything I at least tried. You guys had the power to do something about it and didn't and that's why I don't believe that you gave two fucks about what Serb was doing. You're probably just saying that now to save face.
If you really cared you would have done something about it.
The Tit staff was probably too happy with him bringing them traders/sellers, to get rid of him.
Another thing I thought was corny is that TiT was probably one of the worst private trackers in Bt, and they worried more about catching traders than fixing their tracker up. That's a Serb move right there.(worrying more about catching traders and showing off, than doing his job)
This guy took over your tracker RAB. He instilled his mentality into it and operated it his way.
Also another thing I think sounds kind of fishy is that BlastG1 was blaming the closing of TiT on Serb.
You sure TiT isn't closing down because it's been failing for a long time?
Please, PLEASE get your facts straight. At no time did we ever come out and say "Oh woe is me" about Serb. The facts were brought forward to fellow staffers first, and when some wanted to keep defending his actions, MuddSlinger chose to make a more public post declaring what was going on. Do you care that he actually is trying to put a stop to it, or are you so short-sighted that all you can do is go on about how "he should have said something sooner"?
You speak of yourself speaking out against a perceived wrong to someone else. Let me ask you this: How likely is anyone to listen to a less-reputable source, as compared to a known reputable source? Listen to the staffers who tried to tell him to stop, or listen to the prolific serial trader who goes on crusades against trackers because he has a grudge? Your own peers here seem to think you're a bit of a joke, from what I've read in this thread so far. You make a fine crusader, but you'd be a horrible diplomat and negotiator. You have the blind determination, but not the discretion and tact. Sounds uncannily similar to the person you're flaming us over.
TiT closing because of Serb? No, not at all. Those who are actually members there can see the reasons I've posted on the homepage. And honestly, I could care less about your opinion of the site. You have obviously never dedicated your time to others, and you don't know a thing about running a site. When you have coders who split time between two sites, as well as work full-time jobs and have families, YOU tell ME where the extra time to quickly work on things comes from. You've got plenty of time to bitch, maybe you should start a tracker and show us how it's done. I would absolutely ENJOY seeing you try to do it.
Serb didn't operate anything at a management level. He was never a SysOp, nor did he have any input into daily operations, nor did he do any coding. So to say he "instilled his mentality into it and operated it his way" would be a complete falsehood. There was never any point where he could tell anyone that they must do this or that, or else, with the exception of non-staff. He dictated nothing.
Cabalo mentioned that Serb's account is enabled and he's viewed this thread a few times already. That's exactly what I expected to happen, whether through his account or someone else's. This is how things turn out when you refuse to see the error of your ways, and you laugh at the friends who try to talk sense into you. Pre all the info you want. Pre me for all I care. It's the absolute refusal to listen to reason to reason that makes people turn their backs on you. Congrats on whittling down your friends to the bare minimum, and those left are probably because of your scene axx.
Albo, I have the perfect name for your new tracker. It will fit the thought running through your head when all people do is piss and moan while you work your ass off for free. Try this URL on for size:
