What are you doing RIGHT NOW?

[Helios_phi]

Moo?
She's just still floating around my workbench.

[Randall]

So when does the "REDACTED" status end?

[Helios_phi]

It doesn't. None of my personal information will ever be on here again.
This was the one place that actually had some real info.
My real birth date, occupation and hobbies. That kinda stuff.
It's non essential for it to be here.
Won't happen again.

[Randall]

Well, strike me with a cold fish, but, I have never seen this personal info, unless your avatar was personal information. As for your signature, well I cannot remember what that was.

Birthdate means nothing, occupation, well everyone here knows what I do, and hobbies, well, I am here because of one of them.

Yes its not essential to be on here, but to act like an unperson, is not cool. Also remember if its been out there, the Google memory will still likely have it, so the toothpaste is out the tube, not so easy to push it back in.

[Valerion]

From other sites, perhaps. However, the forum politely asks the Google bot to go away. And it normally complies with this. Now if there are any unethical bots that ignore the polite request, there's not much we can do.

[Leeward]

I don't understand either. How could that info be used against you? I mean we all know you're a jeweller, and I definitely remember seeing your birthday being mentioned somewhere in the birthday thread. Why put "[REDACTED]" instead of just leaving it blank? Also why disable PMs? That's not exactly conducive to your role as representative.

Valerion, as someone who goes by the role of information security specialist i.e. ethical hacker, I don't know who he is, and I don't recall anything of value i.e. that could be used to find the particular forum member.

I have seen people do this on other forums, the redaction is a form of protest. This is what happens when people are pissed off at the forum, they protest, by removing their avatars, etc.. Instead of resolving the issue, it gets left to fester, and I think both sides are to blame for this.

[Helios_phi]

Also why disable PMs? That's not exactly conducive to your role as representative.

My PM's are not disabled. I am available for any user that needs to contact me. It was disabled for 24 hours because I knew you would try send me one.

I am here because I like furry things.
I am not however required to like the rest of the fan club.
I have met a few of you. That was nice.
I have no intention of ever meeting the rest of you.
I will not go up to you if I notice you out, I will not disturb you if i see you fursuiting at Rage or whatever it might be.
I respect your privacy, and value mine.
Thank you.

[Helios_phi]

Also why disable PMs?

Whoops. Sorry, I just checked and they where still disabled. That was my mistake. It normally is always on so that any new user or member may contact me.

Isn't that the point of PM's?

That is a very short-sighted view. You should actually become a member over at MyBroadband.co.za, you'll fit right in.

I have no intention of ever meeting the rest of you.

LOL that's a low blow... Was that really necessary? Can you imagine how others would feel if I told them I don't want to meet them at a braai or whatever? As you are a community rep I believe this is totally unacceptable coming from you.

In view of this, I honestly feel you need to relinquish your role as representative and let someone else run with it.

I also don't appreciate being told I am defending people who have harmed/hurt you and people who are apparently paragons of the community but are of dubious integrity. I haven't been here long, I don't know the history, but that is not enough reason for me to make hard and fast judgements. It is clear you have a axe to grind, and you are pissed off about events in the past, but honestly, get a grip, pick up the phone and call the admin, and sort it out. Making the place unsavoury for us who prefer to give the benefit of the doubt, that's not cool.

What people do outside the forum, in their personal lives, is their business. Why must the forum/community suffer for it?

I don't like the animosity... and I have to suffer because of it, fuck you don't even know me, yet I am already being painted by that brush of yours.

[Ivic_Wulfe]

Honestly, let him do what he can. He's been doing a fair job as a rep and hasn't really caused any issues. He has every right to be as he is and can do what he wants in respect to meeting people or not. This is an online forum, not a meet up site. He's good enough for what he should do.

He's responsible and useful in his capacity. If he'd like to step down, that's his prerogative but it won't be based on his personal perspectives or anything that he's being attacked on here.

[Valerion]

Please be careful here. Each of us are here for reasons of our own, and each of us contribute to the fandom in our own way (or not. But that's not for me to judge). Please don't attack each other over a difference of opinion regarding our reasons for being here. And keep it civil, please.

The 24-hour rule is always useful. Please consider applying it.

[Randall]

Ah I get it... crystal clear

[Helios_phi]

You know what Sonic. You are right. 100% right and spot on.
It's partly users like you that can't just fuck off and leave me alone that begin to irritate me.
Special fucking snowflake. "Me me me me. I'm already being punished, everythings about me and my house troubles"
You walk in here from mybroadband and the first thing you do is open your mouth and bitch about everyone else on there, and how it's not fair to little old you.
When I joined, it was really fun. But all those old users are gone and don't post here anymore, now everyone is just becoming another whiney bitch cut out.
It's exactly who you are.
Go die in a fucking fire.


Rakuen or Valerion, I am very sorry to ask this disgustingly tedious request of you.
Would it be possible to delete my account and attachments added to the forum without breaking the forum too much?
I have no interest in the users of this community.
I have no interest in comming back to Zafur.
Failing that. Please lock the account and blank the username.

Thank you very much for my time and experiences here.
Rakuen and Valerion, Thank you two moderators especially for your time and patience with the users and me.
I have marked my account for deletion with the bot option on my profile page.

[Randall]

Helios- here is a personal message for you- Fuck you asshole.
I am out of here aswell. Haven't got much time for whiney little bitches like you, and the same old South African buddy-buddy crap.

[Valerion]

Dilemma time for wolf. If you invoke the 24-hour rule on youself, do you leave a message about it? What do the etiquette furs say?

[Helios_phi]

I acknowledge the 24 hour rule.
I will ask again tomorrow. Thank you.

[Tocs]

Well.. This was rather upsetting. I'm learning how to cook more different things, gonna try making lasagne.. I would have liked to ask for tips but I don't think it's the right time judging what just happened

[Helios_phi]

There is no reason to be upset Tocs. I'may sorry for the disruption, but while I'm still here for 24 hours.
The most important thing is a good cheesy white sauce. It takes a lot of white sauce. I like putting a splash of wine in with my red sauce, rosemary and garlic too. Just don't overlap the plates while layering and you can't really go wrong with lasagne. I'm sure you'll do it perfectly.

[DanLeo427]

Well.. This was rather upsetting. I'm learning how to cook more different things, gonna try making lasagne.. I would have liked to ask for tips but I don't think it's the right time judging what just happened

Four layers is plenty, white sauce always at the bottom of the tray to prevent sticking and then pasta on that, then white sauce always on top of the mince for the softest pasta. Enjoy!

[Tocs]

Ah I don't have any wine, any substitute? But still sounds good, gonna make it spicy too by adding some jalapeños yum

[Asbjorn-phoenix]

WOW well that was a harsh read, but moving along swiftly.

Sitting at work counting the minutes to home time, still blurry eyed after a nap while my colleaghue was still here.

[Sev]

I'm upset, because Tocsy never invited me for dinner...

[Leeward]

Wow, okay, that was rather spectacular...

[Sev]

Watching the Schmucks of the Nation Address. It's, uh, entertaining.

[Rakuen Growlithe]

Watching the Schmucks of the Nation Address. It's, uh, entertaining.

Really? I once tried to be politically involved and listen to the president speak. I don't think I even lasted 5 minutes (so about half a sentence) before I couldn't take it any longer.

[Sev]

Yes, King Zuma has been stumbling around his words, but far more entertaining things have happened so far - the leader of COPE, and the entire EFF have been thrown out.

[Rakuen Growlithe]

So like a circus where the clowns wear suits, got it. I'm sure I'll be suitable embarrassed for the country when I read about it in the news.
