What happened on the 1st of December? A member (who will remain nameless due to fear of punishment) didn't like the way he was treated by the Moderators. He thought them incompetent and above the law themselves. He spoke out, they framed him and punished him. He complained, they silenced him. They hoped that eventually he would be forgotten. He isn't yet, but seeing as the vast majority of YCM at the moment is made up of hipsters who post-spam and act like they are somehow elite (the term "noob" or "newfag" springs to mind, a small memory from my 4chan days), it won't be long. They will win.

*cough*DracoStrabryn*cough*. What do I win?

 

Unless I'm thinking of a totally different uprising.

I believe the idea was to keep him nameless. XO

[Catman25]

The people have a right to know. And I wanted to be the party pooper.

[Larxene]

^Damn you.

 

I wanted to be the one to spoil the fun.

 

If I recall correctly though, December 1st was the day he joined YCM. I'm not entirely sure though, but I think that's the main significance of it. Either that, or it was the day he was banned.

I believe it was the day the thread was posted, but it might have been something else as well.

On December 1^st Draco/Darkthrone/Matt joined.

I think the thread title was "Enter the Darkthrone" or something like that.

[Grunt Issun]

 

The phrase "remember remember" is based on the gunpowder plot by Guy Fawkes but since he was a Catholic, I'd feel a bit ashamed to be associated with him. Also you didn't even get the date right. Just sayin'.

Whoah, I was just reading a book that had a part about the gunpowder plot in it, freaky

[Death Metal]

Not this crap again....

Also my time of the month starts in 2 weeks, thank you.

Have fun. <3

Mind you this was back in the day when mods legitimately were pretty shitty. Now they are better, or at least the mods I deal with.

 

Also, (who will remain nameless due to fear of punishment) springs a few questions to mind:

 

Who would punish you for writing "Draco" with red firecrackers in the sky? Surely not him, right?

And why would you revere someone who would punish you for mentioning his name?

[Muluck]

I am severely surprised that you took the time to Google all of this information. I dip my hat to you Ma'dam.

Total time invested: about a minute. <___<

[CinnamonStar]

Again, so an angsty teenager who got butthurt over the Internet and couldn't deal with it so he cried for UBER JUSTACE~!!! by drawing inspiration from a shitty Catholic an hero who at least did things in real life though is someone worth honouring his "courage"?;__;

 

Have fun. <3

 

Not really, I tend to be really grumpy on those days and be mad at everyone who comes too close.

<3

 

And yeah I just wikied it, it's not like I ran the date through google and made a list on my own of what happened.:D

A lot of things are done electronically now days though. Being a role model is no different. =/

 

Is it really that bad for a once a year thread like this?

[CinnamonStar]

Hmm I want to get a cool story bro shirt so badly.;__; I think I'll try to get it for Christmas...

 

http://www.cafepress.com/+cool_story_bro_green_tshirt,419878270 ...with a different colour, what do you think?

 

EDIT: But getting butthurt over the Internet and gathering all the drama for it is a little bit retarded no?=/ Maybe he could've taken an better hero for reference though. And sure let's have a day for everyone.=D

As for the shirt I'm thinking of a light blue or just plain white. =3

 

Drama makes the world go 'round. =O

 

To many members for each to have his own day, so only those viewed as important (by YCMaker) get days. Dibs on Christmas.

 

EDIT: Since I keep getting PM'd about what happened, here you go.

Draco got banned for standing up against the corrupt mods? That's a shame...

Oh please, they are hardly corrupt and hardly powerful, they're given some administrator tools to help keep the site in check. Members such as JoshIcy don't go flaunting around their privileges or go power mad, they post and lock when necessary.

 

To be honest this whole "Mod being corrupt" thing is a little stupid. They all have better judgement, like most of us, and at times and let there feelings get in the way of there moderation, but wouldn't we all? Mods on this site are humans, and at the end of the day it's just a forum, who cares about some banned member that joined on the first of December? They earned the title moderator and I'm sure half of you wouldn't turn it down if you were to be offered it.

 

It's nice you create your own history by doing this whole thing as I have said before, but really? .-.

Mods then =/= Mods now

 

If I'm not mistaken that "some banned member" did a lot for the forum.

Really, well that's a shame then.

 

I don't respect moderators who abuse their position, more so to the point to actually think their above everyone else when it's a simple forum and the new member could be an academic and the moderator your average run of the mill geek.

Hey, I got a PM after posting in this thread saying I was post locked unless I removed some incriminating evidence (i.e. YCMLies, YCMSpies screenies). You CAN get punished for supporting Draco, I had a chat with a certain moderator who informed me it was Forum Policy to post-lock anyone who posted information regarding the moderation team's actions at that time. The whole thing about the moderators conspiring to stop people mentioning Draco is actually true - I thought it was bull until I experienced the consequences.

 

The Mods back then were indeed shitty, and although the entire team isn't bad now there are still some particular moderators who are shitty. I'm also not one to be overly critical, but Opal's actions reminded me of a certain thing mentioned in the infamous screenshots - the idea that giving you-know-who bad press and lying about him would swing the majority of the forum in their favour. Opal is rather obviously spouting stuff in an attempt to stop people defending him or attacking the moderating team's actions. Like it or not, what the Mods suggested to do with him then was bad, and was ethically and morally unjust. Suggesting that lying about him and his actions to make the forum support them is a terrible thing to do. I'm going to use an example that is actually used in the screenshotted post "Think of what the USA did to the Communists in the 1950s & 60s" - the forum team were suggesting that they should spread propaganda about Draco for their own gain. They demonized him and even suggesting planting a worm in his forum to get their own back. That doesn't sound very nice, does it?

 

Opalmoon's actions are simple - she is attempting to persuade you that supporting Draco makes you a sad low-life and that he was a sad low-life. She is attempting to stop you from supporting Draco and debating against the moderation team's actions surrounding Draco by using underhand emotional tactics - which, if I may add, is a morally unacceptable debating strategy.

[CinnamonStar]

Not at all, I'm pretty sure that most of you have lives outside of the Internet. Draco didn't though or at least it comes over like that and that's the sad thing.

But I never got why that Guy Fawkes guy was so special (Catholic being mad at his Protestant government) and using him as an allegory or celebrating him like many people do in England is kind of pointless, since there are hundreds of other people who did better. <_< But I guess not everyone gets a celebration day like that so...

 

And yes I have the right to get that kind of opinion because no other member made such a hubbub about getting butthurt or banned on the Internet, scrap Ragnarok.-_-

 

PS: I don't even remember what the mods back then did to him and maybe I wasn't in the team yet so I don't get what "morally and ethically unjust" thing was done to him. But I guess we all got some unjust stuff done to us over the Internet but most people I know get over it. And do you think I care so much about who you guys support or not? He and IDK how many other people get enough of support the whole year through and I usually don't care unless people make whole threads about a single member, that's quite attention-grabbing. You can go ahead and marry him or whatever for all I care, but I'd prefer if he did that stuff he supposedly did here in real life, towards a real government. Or something useful like saving a cat, helping at the animal shelter or something like that.

 

What was different about the mods "back then" and the mods now?=/ Sorry I don't have the timeframe in mind anymore.
