About Reveille

[catsclaw227]

Thanks for the clarification Umbran. I didn't want to really read anything into it, but you know how things are...

This whole thing was a bummer for lots and lots of people here.

And after reading a little bit in the hive (I hadn't ever posted there before), I can see how all the alternate identities he used could have really created some trust issues among their subset of Enworld members.

I gleaned from Umbran's post that Rev and the moderators disagreed about whether his reasons justified their moderation actions.

Do take note his posts still exist. The disagreement may have been whether or not to erase everything Reveille had ever posted since te mods can do that.

Spammers are minions, since with a couple of clicks I can delete all their posts...

Problem is he also posted in php games (like my own). Though luckily his character didn't say much since it was played as an NPC mostly.

...................... "wow"

I didn't know Rev from Adam but I was genuinely concerned for his well being. Just another case of exactly how TOO trusting I am of people... something told me something wasn't right when Mandy came back with FR God's names but again I was duped just like we all were. I don't condone retribution at all but I think someone should kick HIS puppy for this deplorable and unbelievably selfish and thoughtless act. With the ban in place I hope people see now and in the future that this place DOES hold it's communities mental states in high regard. Regardless of what made Rev do this is moot, the fact that he could toy with everyone's heartstrings that he cared about or at least interacted with on a daily basis is what this is all about. I am truly sorry not only for myself in falling into something so underhanded, but to the rest of all of you that did was well moreover.... the people of this world never and will never seice to amaze me...

Go ahead and forgive him, but hold him accountable.

Put me down in the permaban camp; I'd also be in favor of a mark of shame attachment to his posts and to his alts' posts. If he hadn't been in PbP, I'd have agreed with removing them entirely. According to this thread, he's pulled hoaxes like this in the past and abused the trust of many before this point.

Actions must have consequences for communities to function. Serial abusers of trust may deserve forgiveness, if they work to earn it, but that forgiveness should not enable them to continue to harm yourself or others.

This community's first responsibility is to protect itself from trust-predators like Rev.

I speak as a teacher who's twice caught students pulling the "fake death in the family" excuse to get extensions. As a result, I now have to tell grieving students to bring me a death notice from the newspaper, which is a burden that I sincerely wish I did not have to impose.

QFT. Emphasis mine.

I don't think they should be erased. Nor do I think any posts should be erased that do not, themselves, violate policy. In any thread he participated in, removing his posts would remove the context that some of the rest of us policy-followers might find valuable.

After reading the tail end of the last Hive and the current one, this has gone way past "disappointing." While I had pretty much no interaction with Rev's alts (I told him something he already knew it seems ), he has used them to abuse the trust of several people. He crossed far more lines than should be crossed.

Now, I have an alt, but I've been pretty up-front about it, and even added it to my signature some time ago. I also used it mostly for silliness, or when I couldn't really use this account (which is why I created that account in the first place).

Dang, too bad there wasn't a Rickroll at the end.
