Basically, this is our conversation right after the initial pleasantries. I'm sorry I couldn't save the color, and hopefully it's readable. Basically, no one let him in or do anything for him or listen to any of his threads without talking to me first.


[00:48] joshthedude52: What have you been doing for the guild?
[00:48] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: I check it daily for posts I can comment in without being an a*****e
[00:50] joshthedude52: Which is how many?
[00:50] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: a couple
[00:51] joshthedude52: Sam, are you aware of the impression you make on people?
[00:51] joshthedude52: Are you aware of the impact?
[00:51] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: Some what
[00:51] joshthedude52: How many people in the guild actually like you?
[00:51] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: not sure
[00:52] joshthedude52: What do you think of Pagentry?
[00:53] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: she is alright
[00:53] joshthedude52: How is she as a mod?
[00:53] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: pretty well
[00:54] joshthedude52: Sam, what would you do if you had a subordinate who had no respect for you, didn't do significant work, and made an enemy of everyone they talked to.
[00:55] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: Well I would talk to them
[00:55] joshthedude52: And say what?
[00:56] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: Ask them why they arent doing their job and how could they improve on it
[00:56] joshthedude52: And if you didn't think that would work?
[00:56] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: I would fire them
[00:56] joshthedude52: Ok.
[00:58] joshthedude52: Sam, do you think you should keep your job?
[00:58] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: I knew you were gonna try to pull this BS and you dont have the power to get rid of me
[00:59] joshthedude52: Why not?
[00:59] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: I talked with Lobo and his says he will keep me a Mod
[00:59] joshthedude52: When?
[01:00] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: A week ago
[01:00] joshthedude52: Ah.
[01:00] joshthedude52: We've talked since then.
[01:01] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: Oh? and he told you could fire me?
[01:01] joshthedude52: Sam, you say things which aren't true. You manipulate people and have no respect. You don't do anything of value to offset that.
[01:02] joshthedude52: Out of everyone I've talked to, they all say get rid of you.
[01:02] joshthedude52: Lobo agrees if you are causing harm to the guild you shouldn't be where you are.
[01:02] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: Im the only who actuely did my orginal Job
[01:02] joshthedude52: Which is?
[01:03] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: The Kinetics subform
[01:03] joshthedude52: Sam, I invite you to take a look at the member lists, and then the post count. After that, feel free to insult my work ethic.
[01:04] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: yes and Im 5th in post count
[01:05] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: And do you know how many people I have helped?
[01:05] joshthedude52: No, tell me.
[01:05] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: I get daily atleast one person IMing me needing help
[01:05] joshthedude52: Like who? from where? about what?
[01:06] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: Mostly its about energy problems or that they are looking for a teacher
[01:06] joshthedude52: Like who?
[01:07] joshthedude52: from our guild?
[01:10] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: anlbstar, sonicbrewer, sonicbrewer, jp101993, evilkinara
[01:10] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: most of those are from the guild
[01:10] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: I dont know becuase I dont ask
[01:11] joshthedude52: Have them write me up some letters about it. Send them to me and Lobo.
[01:11] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: alright
[01:11] joshthedude52: I'm taking you off of mod status. If you have a real case, I'll think about reinstatement.
[01:12] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: Your making a mistake
[01:12] joshthedude52: Deal with your life, get over your problems, and stop thinking everyone is an idiot.
[01:12] joshthedude52: Why?
[01:12] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: If you take my modship im leaving the guild and deleting all my posts
[01:14] joshthedude52: Very well.
[01:14] joshthedude52: I will consider that in your reinstatement arguement.
[01:15] joshthedude52: You are now banned.
[01:16] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: I demand my posts be removed from the guild
[01:16] joshthedude52: No.
[01:16] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: If I must I will contact gaia about the matter and legaly I have rights over my own work
[01:17] joshthedude52: Arguement from authority, it is a fallacy.
[01:17] joshthedude52: this is so public domain it's not even funny, and a captain can be as tyrannical as they want without violating the TOS
[01:17] joshthedude52: otherwise they can treat their members as badly as they want.
[01:19] joshthedude52: By submitting Member Submissions to Gaia Online, you hereby grant to Gaia, solely as necessary to provide the features and functionality of the part(s) of Gaia Online within which you choose to make your Member Submissions available, a worldwide, non-exclusive, assignable, fully paid-up, and royalty-free license to display, reproduce, distribute and perform (if applicable) your Member Submissions within Gaia Online in any media formats and through any media channels.
[01:20] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: You need to remove my posts
[01:20] joshthedude52: Nope.
[01:20] joshthedude52: You don't care about the posts, Sam, you are upset you got kicked out and no one cares, which is why you threatened to leave.
[01:20] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: REMOVE MY POSTS
[01:21] joshthedude52: You have no leverage and you have no power. I'm sorry, you brought it on yourself.
[01:21] joshthedude52: Oh, wait, nevermind. I will now.
[01:21] joshthedude52: You have intimidated me into it.
[01:22] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: I dont care about being in the guild but I will not stand for my work in the guild
[01:22] joshthedude52: When you put it there, you surrendered it to Gaia and the guild.
[01:25] joshthedude52: Q: I am a member of a guild and I am having a conflict with the guild crew or captain. Can I have a moderator help me out?
A: No, Gaia moderators are not responsible for your guild politics. It is up to the guild crew how they want to handle internal conflicts. The sole exception is if the guild crew or captain is violating Gaia's TOS.

Q: A guild banned me for no reason, I wanna report them! -OR- The captain/crew are abusing their power, what do I do? -OR- The guild is really close to breaking the TOS, can I report them?
A: Guild crew can do whatever they want as long as they don't break the TOS, including banning you for no reason. Do not report a guild unless there is a TOS violation that the Guild refuses to take care of themselves.
[01:25] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: You are gonna regret doing this
[01:26] joshthedude52: Why?
[01:26] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: Lobo I know will bring me back
[01:26] joshthedude52: No. He won't.
[01:26] joshthedude52: Do you know what you've done to him? What your selfishness and greed have cost him?
[01:27] joshthedude52: Do you care? Most likely not.
[01:27] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: ******** you
[01:27] joshthedude52: Child.
[01:27] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: I taught him what I knew and what came of it is his own fault
[01:27] joshthedude52: it is what you taught, you knew, and you lied about is what did it.
[01:28] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: Im not selfish all I have ever done was teach
[01:28] joshthedude52: You blame him for your failures. You aren't fit to be a student, much less a teacher.
[01:28] joshthedude52: You just blamed Lobo immediately after you claimed he would get you right back in.
[01:28] joshthedude52: Saying you aren't selfish doesn't make it so.
[01:29] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: I did not blame him
[01:29] joshthedude52: what came of it is his own fault
[01:29] joshthedude52: his own fault
[01:29] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: Yes becuase it is
[01:29] joshthedude52: Leech.
[01:30] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: I didnt lie to him about anything expect what I came out and said was a lie
[01:30] joshthedude52: So you lied to him
[01:30] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: Yes and I asked for frogiveness from him
[01:30] joshthedude52: You broke his trust and shattered his foundation of reality.
[01:30] joshthedude52: Doesn't make it better.
[01:30] joshthedude52: The fact is you still did it.
[01:30] joshthedude52: He is obligated no mercy and you stand justly accused.
[01:31] zalchol@sbcglobal.net: I dont even know how you think you have authority over everyone but you dont

I hate to be mean and to exclude anyone, but frankly I don't think Sam was influencing anyone in a positive manner and was basically a leech upon our guild. Hell, even Atomisk Prime has gotten better then he is.

If anyone cares to disagree, please let me know. Also, do you think we should put up a notice in the main forum?




Edit:I forgot to say, I only was going to demote him, and offered to listen to the people he said he would help. But he threatened to quit and erase all his posts, so I banned him instead. I think his actions prove it was the right decision.

You know I don't have a problem with it. In fact, I congratulate you.

It's obvious that I didn't like him much, but I only started disliking him when I realized that he was a complete and total a*****e. He had his civil moments, but they were exactly that. Moments. Some of his work was impressive, I'll give him that much. But he stopped being a positive influence in the MPRILC a long time ago.

Oh, and I think a notice should be posted. Just because people may be confused. And/Or they may want to celebrate.

I don't remember at the moment, but guild ststus needs to be set to hidden.

He may be banned, but he can still edit his posts from outside the guild. One need not be in a guild to edit their posts within said guild.

I set it to hidden. I was trying to see how to keep him out.

I read Lobo's post in the Conclusion thread. Then I just moved the both of them to the recycle bin. I'm real, real tired. I'm tired of fighting for what I know is right and being blamed for it. So you guys go head and decide what to do with him. I guess I stick by that. I just don't think I can do this anymore.

Er...I hope what Jaw the Un said didn't...cause these feelings. As I told you, he can be quite an a**, and I still regret letting him in. He's harmless, though, and is all talk. He doesn't mean any of it, nor can he back up what he actually means.

But anyway, I think most people agree that Sam's just going to remain an a**. I'm tired of this s**t, too. I'm thinking it's a "speak now or forever hold your peace" thing, as far as letting him back in. But, you know, that's just me.

A little bit him. A little bit Lobo's yelling. If Lobo thinks he's ok, how can I fight against that? I just don't have the energy to fight him, to fight people like him in my life anymore. I'm doing the same thing, I'm supporting a lot of people... I just can't take it...

There's really no way to "win" this situation. You're always going to piss someone off, it's just an inevitable part of life. If he's LoBo's friend, so be it. If everyone hates him, so be it. I think he can be an absolute a** when he wants to be, and pretty nice when he wants to be. Like LoBo said, we all are like that. But it's just a matter of making a decision and sticking with it. Divinitywolf is content, and I think what got to LoBo the most was us constantly putting Sam down without any defense. I think it's pretty well solved. We'll just see if it comes up again.

Eh. Lobo's nice. For me no news is good news. If you get your a** in gear you can keep the job, I don't care.
