Tormentius and abuse of moderator privileges

Post by **Caffeine** » Sat Jun 10, 2006 1:19 am

For some reason, my PM to raw (and another to someone else) is not leaving the Outbox. Sooo... I'll post it here. At least Torm doesn't moderate this forum...

Subject: Tormentius and abuse of moderator abilities

Hello raw. Tormentius told me that you are the admin. I would like to report moderator abuse by that same person. In the Technology & Troubleshooting thread titled "Vista Beta 2 now available to the public", Tormentius edited my second post responding to him (removing all of the content), deleted my third post talking about that, and then deleted all of my posts in that thread.

Also, he claims to have contacted you on my behalf. Frankly, I think that he's probably lying about something(s) in order to have me banned. I asked him whether I could see what he sent to you "on my behalf" but he did not send it to me.

I have included my first two posts below.

Caffeine's first post, deleted by Tormentius wrote: How odd... I don't remember XP betas being made available to the public at large. MS must be rather desperate to get Vista code on people's PCs. All the more reason for me to avoid it, especially after reading that Windows Genuine Advantage 'phones home'. What fun stuff will be in Vista, I wonder? (Aside from more DRM, which I already know about.)

Caffeine's second post, deleted by Tormentius wrote:

Wow, insults again. That's pretty sad, considering that you're a moderator (who are, by definition, supposed to be moderate).

Genuine advantage phones home to get updated lists of pirated product keys and doesn't include personal information in the transmission. If you don't have a pirated copy of Windows then it doesn't interfere with anything you're doing.
Where did I contradict that in what I wrote? Oh, that's right -- NOWHERE. BTW, can you prove that the undisclosed feature "doesn't include personal information?"

As for "desperation" MS is simply opening their long-standing corporate beta testing program to the public and its evidently being very well received. If anything its the public who "desperately" wants to get their hands on the new OS.
I doubt that very much. I think MS is indeed desperate to get people excited about Vista, considering all of the features that were dropped from it and the addition of DRM to it.

Like most of MS' projects, feature sets are based on customer requests, usually made by corporations.
Why do so many of Vista's features look like they were copied from MacOS X and KDE, then?

Posting it here is not going to make him read it. He is not on standby to read all incoming messages as they are posted. I've known Torm for a while and he doesn't do things rashly. I'm sure it was for a good reason. Oh wait this is the void. Fuck off shitstick.

I could make you disappear as well. But we'll see what kind of entertainment value you bring.

you seem to forget the sheer amount of persional attacks that you have placed and instagated in that thread..

as a ex-mod for TNT, Tor is correct in what he did.. TNT is not a place for that kinda stuff, 0 tolerance.

I'm aware of that. Re-read what I said at the very top of this thread.

I've known Torm for a while and he doesn't do things rashly.

In this case, he has.

I'm sure it was for a good reason.

Yeah, to silence any dissenting opinions in a forum with a description that includes "Wanna talk technology?"

Oh wait this is the void. Fuck off shitstick.

You first, corncake.

What the hell are you talking about? I'm not the one who posted these gems:

"Your paranoid whining is getting boring." (That replaced my second post as an edit -- what paranoid whining!?)

"In the future you might want to do a better job of educating yourself before spouting stupidity." (Response to my first post, quoted above)

Guess who wrote those words in quotes? Yep, Tormentius.

as a ex-mod for TNT, Tor is correct in what he did.. TNT is not a place for that kinda stuff, 0 tolerance.

I'm not the one who was slinging around insults, which seems to be standard MO for Tormentius, a moderator who is anything but moderate.

I've noticed that Tormentius is rather rude. I'm never rude and I expect more from him. He should be moderate. Aristotle would like that.

MO = modus operandi?

nerd alert, ffs...

PM’s stay in the sender’s "Outbox" until the receiver has read the message.

He's had it in for me ever since I started debating with him in General Discussion. Go ahead and do a search if you want the context.

It's too late to reconcile the issue, I think.

happy posting in T&T
